What is outcomes-based assessment?

It starts with faculty members articulating what

they want students to be able to do when they
complete the learning. This is called an outcome
and it is different than thinking about what you
will teach, because it is focused on the end result
for students that you built the course for
Outcomes-based assessment is the deliberate
collection of evidence of student learning based on
outcomes. It yields a mark relative to the outcomes
(criterion referenced) rather than other students.
Planning: You need to clearly know what level of skills and knowledge
you will accept as competent or successful performance by students
(instead of what mark), then plan the assessments to measure it and the
instruction to teach it.
Assessment: You make an effort to give more feedback early, and give
more attempts. You pay more attention to most recent evidence. A good
time you practiced with your final road test. Even if you fail your road
test once, you get the score from your second attempt, not the combined
score from your first and second, because the goal is to measure how

Calculating grades: In an outcomes-based system, you group and weigh by

outcome, not by assessment task. This means that outcome 1 might be
10% and outcome 2 could be 8% of the final grade. An individual test
might have 50% of its marks in outcome 1 and another 50% in outcome
2.
much the assignments and final are worth.
Students know exactly what you are trying to have them learn,
and are more able to take responsibility for learning it. As a
result, they learn more deeply, and they more accurately identify
what specifically they need to work harder on.
Because students understand more about what you want them to
know and be able to do, you mark fewer weak assignments, which
saves you time and frustration
It allows you to clearly understand how your students are
improving over time on each of the outcomes you set. That makes
it easy to modify your course to make it more effective
Outcomes-based assessment is helpful for seeing how your course
contributes to student success in the program, or gives a clear
indication of how well student learn specific pre-requisite
knowledge and skills you are trying to teach them

 Skills and Attitudes in K-12 Mathematics Learning
Outcomes
Skills

1. Critical Thinking
- students can develop this ability when confronting Mathematical problems,
identifying possible solutions and evaluating and justifying their reasons for the
results.

2. Problem-Solving
- students learn to problem solve in mathematics primarily through doing, talking,
reflecting, discussing, observing, investigating, listening, and reasoning.

3. Teamwork
- one way to improve learner's team-working skills is to work in ways that encourage
collaboration and sharing mathematical journeys in smaller and larger groups on a
regular basis.

4. Independence
-developing independence and self-management skills during math class helped the
students achieve their math goals
Where do negative Math attitude come from?
The idea that math is for "smart people".
The perception of math as a boring
subject.
A general lack of confidence in one's learning
abilities.
Being overwhelmed by complex and difficult
math problems.
An inability to understand the relevance of
math in "the real world".
Attitude and Achievement - A Bidirectional
Relationship
A student with a positive attitude towards
math:
- is more confident when learning math
- enjoys math
- is motivated to do more
- actively engages during mathe lessons
- achieves more
A student with a higher achievement in math
- has more confidence in their abilities
- sees the value of math
- has a positive attitude towards math
To improve attitude and/or achievement, you
need to break this cycle and create one of
positivity.
Student's attitude towards math can affect their
overall ACHIEVEMENT.
Positive attitude can lead to so much more than
a few good test scores.
