Download or read book Designing Quality Authentic Assessments written by Tay Hui Yong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the principles and practice of authentic assessment. It seeks to answer the following questions. What is authentic assessment? How is authentic assessment different from 'performance assessment' or 'alternative assessment'? How can authentic assessment support learner-centred education, especially when a performance-oriented culture favours pen-and-paper examinations? The book is structured into two major parts. The first, 'Principles of authentic assessment design', provides readers with a conceptual explanation of authenticity; the principles for designing quality authentic assessments for valid evidence of student learning; and guidance about how to develop quality rubrics to structure assessment tasks. The second part of the book, 'Theory into practice' provides examples developed by teachers to demonstrate an understanding of authentic assessment. The subject areas covered include humanities, languages, mathematics, sciences, character and citizenship. Two case studies are discussed to demonstrate how authentic assessment can be used to comprehensively address key learning objectives in a variety of curriculum contexts. This book provides practitioners with concrete examples on how to develop authentic assessment to suit their context and also enhance their students’ learning. The book will also enable teachers to face assessment challenges present in our changing world.

Book excerpt: The lives of America's students, educators, and parents are being significantly touched by the current standards and accountability reform. The Standards Primer explores the historical development of this reform, and compares two different views of educational standards and accountability - technical standards and standards of complexity. How each view impacts curriculum, instruction, and assessment is discussed, and implications of these views for teachers, administrators, school boards, parents, community, and students are presented, along with a discussion of related issues involving equity and ethics on this topic. The Standards Primer provides critical information - including an extensive reference section containing print and nonprint resources - that will lead to informed decision making concerning this national educational reform.

Download or read book Action Research Primer written by Patricia H. Hinchey and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that publishers and policy-makers have had increasing influence over classrooms, it is the teacher who must make decisions on a minute-by-minute basis about what will help specific students learn. Similarly, local administrators must make key decisions at the school and district level that will best serve particular communities of teachers, students, and parents. Action research offers educators and other stakeholders a systematic way to research and reflect on specific students, classrooms, schools, and communities in order to solve local problems and improve local conditions. This book offers an overview of various definitions and perspectives on action research without prescribing any single approach. Instead, key questions are explored: Who conducts action research? Why? How? Possible answers sketch the many types of possible projects, ranging from an individual teacher trying to improve the experience of a particular student to a group of educators and community members striving to improve local socioeconomic conditions. The Action Research Primer presents an accessible but comprehensive introduction to the field, providing a basic compass and map for the interested practitioner. Chapters include a brief historical overview, an introduction to competing research paradigms, discussion of key issues that inform project design, a serviceable guide to process, and an extensive list of resources pointing to more detail on the many categories, communities, and publication outlets of action research.

Download or read book Learning to Teach written by Sue L. T. McGregor and published by IAP. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This primer is about learning how to teach. As its name suggests, it provides a basic introduction to what is involved in becoming an effective, efficient, and efficacious educator. The targeted audiences are (a) preservice teachers (PST) (i.e., nonprofessional student teachers enrolled in a university Bachelor of Education degree), (b) early-career (novice) inservice teachers (c) or any educator for that matter who wants to build or bolster their essential foundation for teaching. The primer is unabashedly oriented to a synthesis of the technical (how-to) aspects of teaching because without prowess in these skills, even the most dedicated and committed teacher may not be effective and efficient let alone efficacious. Although teaching is both a science and an art, this primer is about the science of teaching. Other books focus on teaching as inquiry, thinking educators, reflective educators, and the sociocultural/political aspects of teaching. The book adopts a before-during-after class approach. It addresses how to (a) prepare lessons before a class (learning styles, learning objectives, lesson planning, and learning environments); (b) deliver lessons during a class (instructional strategies, questioning strategies, and classroom management); and (c) evaluate learning after the class (student assessment and evaluation strategies, and teacher self-reflection). This basic tool kit is further underscored with details about the larger constructs of (d) developing courses, modules, and units from which daily lessons emerge. Higher level notions of (e) educational philosophies, (f) curriculum theories and (g) curriculum development approaches are also included to illustrate how they, as the educational context, shape teachers’ pedagogies.

This book was released on 2019-10-11 with total page 1757 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As teaching strategies continue to change and evolve, and technology use in classrooms continues to increase, it is imperative that their impact on student learning is monitored and assessed. New practices are being developed to enhance students’ participation, especially in their own assessment, be it through peer-review, reflective assessment, the introduction of new technologies, or other novel solutions. Educators must remain up-to-date on the latest methods of evaluation and performance measurement techniques to ensure that their students excel. Learning and Performance Assessment: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications is a vital reference source that examines emerging perspectives on the theoretical and practical aspects of learning and performance-based assessment techniques and applications within educational settings. Highlighting a range of topics such as learning outcomes, assessment design, and peer assessment, this multi-volume book is ideally designed for educators, administrative officials, principals, deans, instructional designers, school boards, academicians, researchers, and education students seeking coverage on an educator’s role in evaluation design and analyses of evaluation methods and outcomes.

The Framework examines four different types of learning goals, considers various purposes and audiences for assessment, reviews five categories of assessment methods, and presents options for communicating results. This updated edition addresses the assessment of academic standards as well as transdisciplinary outcomes (e.g., 21st century skills), and describes the principles and practices underlying standards-based grading"--

Download or read book Authentic Assessment in Action written by Linda Darling-Hammond and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines, through case studies of elementary and secondary schools, how five schools have developed “authentic,” performance-based assessments of students’ learning, and how this work has interacted with and influenced the teaching and learning experiences students encounter in school. This important and timely book reveals the changing dynamics of classroom life as it moves from more traditional pedagogy to one that asks students to master intellectual and practical skills that are eminently transferable to “real-life” social settings and workplaces. “The issue of assessment comes first, but we see in the following case studies how it becomes powerfully enveloped in the processes of learning and teaching, of informing students, teachers, parents, and others of ‘how the children are doing.’ The portraits explicitly and implicitly suggest a deep, fair, and defensible way to answer the question ‘How’m I doing?’ in a manner that helps this child and eventually every child.” —From the Foreword by Theodore R. Sizer “Informative and thought provoking.” —American Journal of Education
