Task 3: Assessing Student Learning Define Assessment – Types of Assessments – 6

Evaluation Criteria Evaluating student work is about more than simply assigning grades The goal of evaluating student work is to encourage students to continue learning, not to provide harsh feedback that decreases their intrinsic motivation. 7

General Principles Should reflect objectives Grading standards should be clearly stated – Are you grading for… correctness/accuracy? cognitive complexity? sophistication or elaboration of responses? quality of explanations? 8

What is good feedback? Feedback is intended to acknowledge the progress students have made towards achieving the learning outcomes of a unit. Good feedback is also constructive, and points students to ways in which they can improve their learning and achievement. Providing a mark or a grade only, even with a brief comment like “good work” or “you need to improve” is rarely helpful. (Chamberlain, Dison & Button, 1998). 12
