Assessment of Learning 2

Name: Champaigne Maaliao Score: ___________
Direction: Discuss each question. (10 points each)

1. What does a teacher do when he/she engages himself/herself towards the 21 st century
assessment?
- Since, we are fully aware that time has changed and so did the learning phase of the learners.
They can quickly grasp the information taught by the teacher if they will only give more
attention to it. The teachers should be flexible and responsible enough to learn new things.
They should also look for different teaching strategies that would give interest to the learners
for them to be able to blend in.
2. Explain each of the characteristics of the 21st century assessment.
- Responsive - There has to be a moment in which the teachers will cater the ideas and opinions
of the learners.
- Flexible - The teacher should be capable of looking for strategies that could help their students
understand the lesson. A certain teaching strategy might not work for some students.
- Integrated - Integration of assessment is vital nowadays. They can actually mix and match
some assessment programs or activities that they want to try to evaluate their students.
- Informative - It should always be informative. If an activity or lesson is quite confusing at
some point. By providing additional information, the students could have a better picture of
the things that the teacher is trying to tell them.
- Multiple Methods - The teacher should be creative with their teaching strategies. Somehow the
student will get tired of learning the usual way. They would love to do something unique but
still educational.
- Communication - The students should have a voice in a classroom. Though teachers are in
control of the classroom, the students could have a better idea. That's why classroom
interaction is important.
- Technically Sound - The assessment should be balanced and well-rounded. This could help the
learning of the students.
- Systematic - the assessment of the extent to which the education system achieves set social,
economic and transformational goals. It does this by measuring learner performance as well as
the context in which learners experience learning and teaching.
3. When can we say that assessment is of high quality? Identify each quality.
● Allow for students to use assessment data to make choices about their areas of
concentration and focus. This creates an environment of “choice” and helps to spur student
motivation. It also provides complete visibility into individual student knowledge and readiness
and leverages assessment to understand precisely what each student does (and doesn’t)
know.
 ● Produce valid and reliable results. Assessment data is 85%-95% reliable when it’s created
by content experts within an assessment organization, (add source if we are quoting directly)
● Offer connections to standards-based instructional resources. These assets should
include learning objects, including vetted OER, that are interactive and responsive.
● Provide structured assessments as well as flexible classroom assessment
capabilities. Fixed formats provide a high-level view of student knowledge and facilitate
comparative analysis. Classroom assessment creation tools should be robust, and allow for the
creation of tech-enhanced item types
● Generates meaningful and actionable insights. High quality assessment takes the
massive quantities of performance data and translates that into meaningful, actionable reports
that pinpoint current student progress, predict future achievement, and inform instruction.
Administrators use the data to run various levels of reports, detect patterns at all of those
levels, and uncover academic areas that require additional resources.
4. What are the current trends in assessment. Explain each.
- Holistic Measurement - To address this, we’re already starting to change the way we ask
questions, pose problems, assign projects and evaluate the outcomes to allow students the
freedom to find a solution in different ways. Open-ended demonstration or project-based
learning are just two examples of that, where students can take ownership of their work and
show their learning in ways that interest them.
- Continuous Testing - Sometimes referred to by the inauspicious term “stealth assessments,”
the idea behind continuous testing is simple: weaving assessments into the fabric of classroom
activity in a natural, unobtrusive way. That could mean observing students during class work
and routines, or monitoring their responses to instruction, with the goal of tracking progress
on a regular (perhaps daily) basis to help plan and adjust instruction.
- Real-time, data driven insights - With data from student work flowing through specialized
software and algorithms, classrooms will benefit not only from rich analysis across new
measures of student performance and the meaningful insights that result from it, but also
from the speed at which they get that information.
- Tailored Learning - the end goal is to truly tailor instruction based on what a student knows,
assess what they’re ready to learn next or where they need help, and provide individualized
support to get there. Initiatives like adaptive testing are an example of this gaining in
popularity, as it allows teachers to evaluate student knowledge and act on it in real time.
- Shift in Scoring - As they shift student work towards demonstration and project-based
learning, they’re also replacing traditional methods of evaluation with rubrics that define a set
number of criteria all focused on quality. Some are also focusing on feedback over grades so
students understand how they can make their work better.
