I like the idea of structured self/peer assessment.
Formative assessments are quizzes and examinations used to assess how well students are acquiring content throughout a course. Summative assessments are quizzes and tests that measure how much a student has learned over the course of a course. As teachers, we can use a range of evaluation types to better meet the needs of our pupils. To encourage greater and increased engagement in class activities, we must consider their interests and inclinations. Furthermore, well-designed rubrics assist both the instructor and the student in achieving the course objectives. However, no matter how well-designed the rubrics are, the benefits may not be maximized if students are not adequately informed about them.
Anonymity in peer evaluation may encourage more honest criticism and review. Instructors' duty is to ensure that proper, clear, and thorough directions are supplied for self and peer evaluation to work well. Finally, when providing feedback, the instructor must ensure that he or she pays attention to specifics and thoroughly evaluates each contribution for monitoring and grading. The more specific and customized the feedback, the more beneficial it will be in improving student morale.
Assessment is constant, its principles are the same whether you are teaching in the classroom or online.
I would like to quote that it is: something we do with and for our students, rather than to our students. This highlights the balance of formative and summative assessments, assuring that learning is occurring. Assessments should be planned to ensure its effectiveness. It should provide our students opportunities to enhance the learning process. Same as what has been done in our country as we adopted UBD, rubrics are the most effective tools that provide consistency and transparency. Lastly, innovative ideas like self- and peer-assessment are very helpful tools that assure learning indeed occurs .
What I have learned from this lesson is that effective planning for evaluation is crucial when creating an online course. Rubrics give students detailed instructions for homework and projects. Students gain skills through self- and peer assessment in analyzing both their own and others' work as well as in offering constructive criticism. Feedback must be given to students during any assessment type (formative, summative, self, or peer) in order to enhance learning.
Rubrics are well defined and described and responsive feedback leading to improved learning is very well explained
The importance of rubric, I been using and helps to grade and in the same rubric the instructor can write the comments. And the assessment in order to improve the learning process and improve the course also.
Without meaningful feedback from instructor to student after they submit an assignment or assessment or even a project, you can't expect them to improve. Just giving them a grade isn't enough; they need to know how and why of the grade so they can include information that's required, and it helps them feel their efforts are worthwhile and notices as they progress and succeed.
Great reminder to try to always provide meaningful feedback to improve learning.
Students really need feedback. It is how they learn and improve. Without feedback they are not able to understand what they are working on and what they need to do differently.
Critiquing the work of fellow students is a valuable learning tool.
I especially liked the concept of connecting feedback to the objectives and rubric for a positive learning experience.
Feedback is certainly important, but we must remember we are dealing with adult learners, who arrive in our classrooms with varying degrees in their wealth of knowledge and experiences. Therefore, using a feedback allowing for a growth mindset interlaced with a formative and summative feedback could work nicely.
I learned the importance of self-assessment and peer assessments to gain buy in from students.
Ruberic and student assessments and feedback are critical to student engagement
Rubrics are helpful for self-examination and they also help the student have a spelled out guide for the paper/project. Formative and Summative assessments have a slight difference.
Be specific with feedback and tailor it to each individual student.
Assessment plans are important and rubrics should be mandatory for all assignments, otherwise I believe the student does have a right to argue their grades aren't accurate or that they weren't aware of a certain requirement. To ensure efficient communication, all assignments should have a rubric. More assessments regarding the efficacy of courses would be beneficial and an exit ticket is a strategy I would consider implementing.
This module focused on assignment feedback for students. This includes developing a rubric for grading, self and peer assessments and providing individualized feedback to students to assist in improving their performance.
I really like the idea if a quick question to answer in the middle of learning that is ungraded. Or possible a quick check in question that is also ungraded.
providing feedback to your students helps improve their skills and helps with motivation.
