CHAPTER 1 AND 2: CHANGING THE MINDSET: MAKING MEANINGFUL ASSESSMENT
  1. LEARNING AND TEACHING
    1. Learning and teaching are seen as two sides of the same coin. Thus, you cannot treat the two as separate. It is dialectically connected in which each influences the other.

                  1. FUNCTIONS OF ASSESSMENT
                    1. Assessment of learning The output of the assessment usually is in the form of a score or grade. It is summative. E.g., Final exam score
                      1. Assessment for learning Feedback being embedded during teaching and learning to improve instructional strategy. It is formative. E.g., Oral or written feedback to learners after presentation
                        1. Assessment as learning On going self-assessment by learners to monitor their own learning,to reflect on their learning or making adjustments for deeper understanding. E.g., Writing reflective entries either in journals, forum (online), completing online quizzes that provide feedback on learners’ performance
                      2. TYPES OF EVALUATION
                        1. DIAGNOSTIC To diagnose learners, usually used when tracking or streaming learners according to their levels. It is carried out most of the time as a follow-up evaluation to formative evaluation. A diagnostic test can be in the form of achievement test, performance test, self-rating, interviewsobservation
                          1. PLACEMENT Tofix learners in the appropriate group or class. e.g., learners are assigned to classes according to their subject combinations, also known as tracking, streaming, grouping
                            1. FORMATIVE On-going method of assessment by providing feedback (what they have mastered) and feedforward (how they can improve) on learners’ performance forimprovement.Itis closely related tothefeedback and diagnostic functions oftesting. When learners completeeach unit or phase of instructions, tests can inform them of their knowledge whether they are pacing themselves adequately to meet course objectives/outcomesandwhattopicstheyneedtoimprove.(notcountedaspartofoverallperformance).
                              1. SUMMATIVE Assessment is done in the end, in which learners’ performance is measured and, a score will be given. It occurs at the end of a program or course and determines its effectiveness. Thewordsummativemeansthesummingupofallavailableinformationregardinga program at its decision point. (performance).
                                1. NORM REFERENCE Compares an individual’s performance to those of others. It is designed to yield an abnormal curve with the majority in the average and with a 25% percentile at the extreme ends (high and low).
                                  1. CRITERION REFERENCE Compares individuals to a set of criteria set standards. For. the Outcome-Based Education curriculum is largely criterion-based.

                                  1. OUR WORLD IS CHANGING
                                    1. Assessing learners on regurgitated knowledge will not be a plausible solution to deal with the V. U.C.A. (Volatile, Unce certainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) world.A need for prospective orientation towards education.
                                      1. CHAPTER 2: ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT
                                        1. Alternative assessment is indirect contrast to what is known as conventional assessment. It refers to all sort of assessments that are used to measure learner’s ability and proficiency in performing complex tasks that are related to the intended learning outcomes (Yusop,2018)
                                          1. CONVENTIONAL ASSESSMENT ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT Depends on learner learning proxy measures to represent target skills Encourages memorisation of correct answers Aims to measure acquisition of knowledge Non-interactive performance Foster extrinsic motivation Usually depends on forced-choice and written measures
                                            1. According to Mueller (2005), authentic assessment is a form of assessment in which learners are asked to carry out real-world situations that show meaningful application of essential knowledge and skill. Usually,all the performance tasks will be evaluated by using rubric. A
                                              1. According to Chun (2010), performancebased assessment is used to measure learners’ ability to apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit or units of study.Usually,the learners use their higher-order thinking skills to create a product or complete a process as the task challenge. It requires more subjective judgement on the part of the evaluator based on criteria and rubric development prior to learners’ assignment.
                                                1. PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT
                                                  1. AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

                                                      1. COMMON STRATEGIES
                                                        1. GROUP ASSESSMENT A group of learners collaborates to solve a complex problem task that needs proper planning, discussion, research, and presentation either during a class or over a certain period outside of the class. The educator will monitor learners by following the groups’ progress and the contribution of individual learners within a group.
                                                          1. SELF ASSESSMENT A process of formative assessment during which learners reflect on the equality of their work, judge the degree that reflects explicitly stated goals of criteria and revise accordingly (Andrade, 2010)
                                                            1. Project Project-based assessment is a technique to test the learners when participating in learning through a more concrete way.It also enables the educators to assess learners’ higherorder thinking skills when engaging in the projects related to learners’ course work and the experience gained throughout the time frame of the class. A hands-on project is given to learners to apply what they have learned to an in-depth exploration of a topic.
                                                              1. InterviewA technique used when assessing the spoken achievement of learners when engaging in the interaction between educators and learners. The interview will be conducted by educators only for assessment purposes. So, it is not about learners interviewing to gain information rather the purpose of the interview is to assess the learner’s oral production as well as to seek to discover a learner’s learning styles and preferences.
                                                                1. TECNOLOGIQY-BASED ASSESSMENT It involves the use of technology and modern devices incorporated into the teaching and learning to assess learners’ performance and progress (Yusop, 2018). This type of assessment is used to encourage the learners to participate and collaborate in learning via online and outside the classroom.
                                                              2. ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT TECHNIQUE
                                                                1. ORAL PRESENTATION Itrefers to direct means of assessing learners’ learning outcomes that are conducted by questioning the learner.For this assessment, there is no structured list of questions where assessors can ask any questions and request responses depending on the situations compared to interview assessment. An oral assessment provides opportunities to the learners to develop their verbal communication skills.
                                                                  1. PORTFOLIO Portfolio assessment is an ongoing process, in which learners produce tangible evidence of their learning. It consists of learners’ work collection in which it would assess their performance, ability, progress, and learning process based on a marking standard to decide their performance or a study program.
                                                                    1. CONCLUSION Alternative assessments are used to measure applied proficiency more than they measure knowledge. The educators can apply any alternative assessment strategies and techniques that are suitable for their courses. Thus, the alternative assessment techniques need to be evaluated based on criteria or marking standards usually designed in the form of a rubric as a measuring tool to decide learners’ performance or a study program.
                                                                  2. PEER ASSESSMENT a group of learners collaborates to solve a complex problem task that needs proper planning, discussion, research, and presentation either during a class or over a certain period outside of the class. The educator will monitor learners by following the groups’ progress and the contribution of individual learners within a group.

                                        1. learning outcomes and assessment are interconnected. When learning outcomes are developed, we need to begin with the end in mind. The end of teaching and learning is the assurance of learning and, this is obtained through assessment (of course if it is done the right way). Hence it is important to understand what it means by assessment
                                          1. WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?
                                            1. Based on a collection of information about what the learners know and what they can do. Interaction Involves interaction, which aims at seeking to understand what the learners have achieved. Nature Assessment may be descriptive rather than judgmental. Diagnostic Helps learners to diagnose their problems and improve the quality of their subsequent learning. Role Increase learner’s learning and knowledge development.
