Evaluating Student Learning in Online Courses --> Objective and Subjective Assessment
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I will look at both reliability and validity when determining whether my exams are meeting the objectives and outcome requirements of the course, specifically the validity, which will let me know if the questions did what I intended them to do.
This module referenced different forms of assessments.
Reliability and validity are both important when creating assessments. They are both important when I am making informed decisions based on my studetns assessment outcomes.
I like the idea of assessing through the essay. This will give the instructor an understanding of how in depth a study understands verses memorizes
In my culinary class, I find that objective assessments like multiple-choice questions, true/false, and matching exercises are great for checking how well students understand key cooking concepts. These assessments can either be formative, where they get feedback to improve without affecting their grade, or summative, which helps determine their overall grade. It’s a flexible way to keep track of their progress throughout the course.
Establishing norms is importatn in assessments
A rubric is important when teaching.
it is important to learn how to gauge outcomes and provide feedback for assessments whether subjective or objective so you are consistent with your students
I have learned about validity vs reliability
I learned that objective assessments can be summarive or formative.
The difference between validity and reliability. Validity is more important. Validity ensures a test measures what it is intended to measure. Validity is essential. It is more crucial than the reliability. Also, if a test is valid, it is almost always reliable.
Students must be informed on what they are going to be assessed prior to testing to ensure they are aware of what they are being grading on
It is not enough to assess with reliability in mind. An instructor also needs to consider validity to help ensure that the assessments are sound.
It is crucial to ensure that assessments accurately measure what they are intended to measure (validity).
I learned about how rubrics, while not taking the subjectivity out of grading essays, do help provide structure, and I will let rubrics help guide me more.
I appreciate this course teaching us the difference between subjective and objective assessments that could be mistaken as the same.
Objective assessments have a right or wrong answer. Th subjective allows the student to use more high-level thinking in their response.
Moving forward, I intend to apply this knowledge in my teaching practices to enhance the assessment process for my students. By incorporating a balance of objective and subjective assessments, I aim to provide a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account both quantifiable data and qualitative insights. T
Ive learned about different types of assesments.
