Decisions Carlo Magno, PhD.
Asian Psychological Services and Assessment
Assessment for learning
• How do we use assessment results to help students learn better?
• Assessment is used to determine:
• What students can do and cannot do..
• What students know and do not know..
• Misconceptions of students
• Confusion
• Provide teachers information on what to do next to bring students forward in their learning
Assessment Competencies of teachers
• Using assessment results to make decisions about:
• Individual student
• Planning for instruction
• Planning the curriculum
• School improvement
Using externally produced tests
• Results are made public with greater accountability
• Performance are based on national and international standards
• Ascertain that the assessment task is aligned with the needed standards
Organizing the assessment results
• Looking at the school result
• Looking at the level result per per subject
• Looking at the class result per subject
• Looking at individual total scores per subject area
• Looking at the competencies of a subject for each class
• Looking at the competencies of a subject for each student
• We can think of more intervention, the more specific the results are

STUDENT PERFORMANCE REPORT
Organizing assessment results
• Arrange the results per competency of each class/student
• Example:
• Add similar fractions 30%
• Add dissimilar fractions 32%
• Differentiate similar and dissimilar fractions 90%
• Solve problems involving similar and dissimilar fractions 30%
• Which competency do students need more learning?
• How did I teach this competency?
• Did I cover this competency in my class?
• Which competency are the students good at?

Points to reflect on low marks
• How do I improve the quality of my instruction?
• How much more time do I need for students to attain mastery?
• Did I prepare assessment tasks tapping directly the needed competencies?
• Did I look at the national curriculum to guide me in formulating my lesson plans?
Interventions
• Intentional Teaching – teach directly the competencies needed for the future assessment
• Assessment for learning – use assessment results to help students
• Use formative assessment
• Feedback
• Create similar assessment tasks in the classroom
• Supervising curriculum and assessment
Intentional teaching
• Devote time on essential skills that are indicated in the standards (teaching is aligned with standards)
• Established success criteria
• Use a subject-matter budget to see how many standards can be mastered within a quarter
Intentional teaching
How assessment for learning help you teach?
• Start with student friendly targets
• Models of strong and weak work
• Continous descriptive feedback
• Teach self-assessment and goal setting
• Teach one facet at a time
• Teach focused revision
• Teach self-reflection to track growth
Using Formative Assessment
Make learners aware of the learning goal
Determine current status
of students
Move students closer to the
goals
How is Assessment FOR Learning done?
• Understanding and articulating targets in advance of teaching/learning (formative Assessment)
• Informing students about learning goals in terms that students understand, from the very beginning of the teaching and learning process (Formative Assessment)
• Becoming assessment literate and able to transform expectations into assessment exercises and scoring procedures that accurately reflect student achievement
How is Assessment FOR Learning done?
• Using classroom assessment to build students’ confidence in themselves as learners and help them take responsibility for their own learning
• Translating classroom assessment results into frequent descriptive feedback, providing students with specific insights as to how to improve
• Continuously adjusting instruction based on the results of classroom assessment
Feedback
Given after students complete a task
• After seat works, exercises, drill, board work, demonstration
Given while students are conducting the task
• While students are writing, reminders, giving cues, rechecking, point out the error, retell the criteria
Characteristics of Effective Feedback
1. Relates Student Performance to learning goals.
2. Help students with the strategies needed to meet the learning goals.
3. Tells Student Progress (i.e. beginning, developing, advanced)
4. Given Frequently and Immediately
5. Is Specific and Descriptive
6. Focuses on Key Errors (i.e. what when wrong)
7. Acknowledges Student Efforts
Characteristics of Effective Praise
• Praise can be helpful to students if it draws attention to student progress and performance in relation to standards.
• “Praise + Feedback Formula”
• Praise is most effective when it is delivered as a spontaneous but accurate message.
• No more biting around the bush, praise them directly!
Creating similar tasks
• Prepare assessment tasks in advance
• Diagnostic
• Formative
• Summative
• Assessment tasks are directly aligned with the competencies and standards.
• Formative and summative assessment needs to be parallel
Supervising Curriculum and Assessment
• School leaders are accountable on quality of instruction in the school
• Ensures that competencies are delivered and developed
• Observes and monitors instuction
