Activity for formative assessment
Activity for formative assessment:
A. Cite appropriate techniques and tools for formative assessment.
1. Response cards
These are either pre-printed or write-on cards. Pre-printed cards have
responses on them such as “Yes” or "No". Writing on cards allows students to
indicate their responses in real-time.
2. Hand signals
Examples are "thumbs up" means understand and can explain it"; "thumbs
sideways" means "I "I'm not completely sure about..."; "thumbs down" means "I
do not understand.”
3. Games Game-based learning and gamified instruction
are two emerging teaching-learning practices to drive learning. Game-based
learning makes use of a game of any kind to realize a learning outcome.
B. Explain how scoring rubrics can facilitate formative assessment.
In Formative assessment, teachers give feedback. These feedbacks are
made more specific when they are based on rubrics that enumerate the
criteria and describe the expected student's performance (process and
product).
There are several ways for the formative use of rubrics to mediate improved
student performance, such as increasing transparency, reducing anxiety,
aiding the feedback process, improving student self-efficacy, or supporting
student self-regulation.
C. Reason why out self-assessment is an important feature of formative
assessment.
Self-assessment can provide insight into students' true comprehension and
can help to identify gaps in students' knowledge. Encouraging students to
examine their learning and levels of understanding can also be an
important 'wake-up call', identifying areas that require improvement.
Student self-assessment is a critical component of classroom formative
assessment, as it is a key element of practice that supports students to
become independent and self-regulating learners.
D. In what sense is formative assessment compared to “tasting the soup”
while summative assessment is “serving the soup”?
Formative assessments are tested along the way before the end. You taste
your soup along the way to see how it is going so you can add things before
it is finished, it is like a semi-final. While Summative assessments are like
a final, your soup is done so you can serve it to your guests. You should
know everything about the subject and this is your chance to prove it.
E. Distinguish between formative and summative assessment.
Formative evaluation is typically conducted during the development or
improvement of a program or course. Summative evaluation involves
making judgments about the efficacy of a program or course at its
conclusion.
In a nutshell, formative assessments are quizzes and tests that evaluate
how someone is learning material throughout a course. Summative
assessments are quizzes and tests that evaluate how much someone has
learned throughout a course.
REFLECT:
1. As a student, have I been given the opportunity for formative
assessment?
Yes, you have been given an opportunity for formative assessment.
Anything that helps the teacher figure out what you know and are
learning, how well you know and are learning it, and how well you can
use the basic concepts of that idea’s construction or expression, is
formative assessment. This can include daily classwork or homework, but
it also includes asking good questions, and the body and vocal “cues” that
tell us you are just following along well. Even a glance, in the right
direction, tells us how we are learning, and how well.
2. As a future teacher, will I make formative assessment an integral
part of my teaching?
Yes, because many educators believe that formative assessment is an
integral part of effective teaching. In contrast with most summative
assessments, which are deliberately set apart from instruction, formative
assessments are integrated into the teaching and learning process.
Formative assessment is an integral part of the teaching-learning process
because it makes reliable decisions about educational planning. helps the
teacher to understand children's learning. serves as feedback for students
as well as the teachers.
