The chapters were mainly about assessments. Performance assessment is one that makes the students create something. There are two types, summative assessments and and formative assessments. A formative assessment would be like making the students write down four important points from their class lecture so the teacher could know if the students are understanding the main points. The teacher then would know what the students need to work on and know what areas to target. A summative assessment would be like a midterm evaluation. Teachers can give assessments other than tests, like different kinds of projects. A rubric would provide the student with the knowledge of what they need to do to meet the standards. A good assessment is: reliable, standardized, validity, and practical.
Does the age of the students affect how often summative and/or formative assessments occur or which ones occur more?

You didn't answer the last question--do you think that you can tell whether something's formative or summative just by looking? It's something you should be able to discuss (perhaps for the final....)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure here what distinction you're making between formative and summative. What do you think defines each one? Think about how they are both used differently.
How do your two informal assessments in the table differ?
