Que interesante este curso, realmente la labor del docente es compleja. Hay que trabajar muy duro para ser lo integral posible en la labor, y prepararse para evaluar a los estudiantes de la mejor manera, para que contribuya a su aprendizaje y al mismo tiempo nos permita ver como estamos llevando el proceso de enseñanza - aprendizaje
I have learned that there are various ways of assessments - these being objective and subjective assessments. Both are useful, however, subjective assessments helps us to better understand the students' own knowledge of the material and how they can put together the information they have understood.
I have learnt that assessment should respond to the criteria of validity and reliability and that there are different types of evaluation according to the criteria used: it could be objective or subjective
Ambas evaluaciones objetivas y subjetivas si las aplicamos nos sirven para identificar a nuestro estudiante, su nivel de aprendizaje y su capacidad de análisis.
The objective and subjective evaluation allow having a more complete vision of the training process.
I've used both objective and subjective assessments, the subjective essay style assessments are more time consuming to grade, although they give a much clearer measurement of the students grasp of the subject.
Rubrics are necessary with subjective assessments
I have Learned different and spefic assesments
Interesting to hear and read about the differences between Norm and Criterion referencee assessments. I have a better understanding as to why Subjective tests are more challenging to develop.
Criterion - Referenced assessments can be interpreded in different ways.. The instructor can compare the students test scores with performance standards and make a decision if the students meets a particular standard.
Instructor can illustrate a learning task their student is able to perform
I learned the importance of using different types of assessment including subjective and objective. The objective assessment is the method most commonly used for true/false test questions and multiple choice questions. The subjective assessment is difficult to grade without a rubrics and must be given exact parameters. I have used primarily objective assessment and Norm-references assessment.
When assessments are designed. Validity and relibility are both important part in desingint assessment.
Objective assessments can be summative and used to calculate a final grade for students, or formative where students receive feedback on their performance. Objective assessments are used effectivlly for assessent large number of students on short timeframe.
There are various of objective assessments, such as true/false questions, multiple choice, and matching assessments. A subjective assessment questions, such as open-ended or open response require humen judgement. Essay and proplem- solving questions are types of subjective assessments.
results obtained from norm-referenced assesments
Hi,
I agree with the guidelines for writing and using objective assessments present in this module, they are:
Focus on the desired outcomes/objectives. Make sure the question is specific to the content and appropriate to the group being tested. Make objective assessments only one component of the total, varied student assessment process. For formative quizzes/tests, provide feedback for correct and incorrect answer options. Use short, frequent quizzes/tests. Use test banks based on several questions and randomly select questions for use in assessments. Write questions that require higher order skills.
I enjoyed learning about tips for subjective assesment. Since I teach a lot of subjective content, I find it difficult to devise questions that demonstrate student comprehension without making them too difficult or too easy to answer. The point about having students reiterate important facts to demonstrate broader understanding was the most helpful for me, and I'm excited to bring this new knowledge into my future subjective assesments!
Subjective assessments are thoughts and opinions. Objective assessments are right and wrong answers. Both can be helpful in assessing students in their learning.
This module provided us with different types of assessments and how they should be used to ensure the best learning outcome for our students.
I know that subjective and objective are different ways of gaugeing the students understanding of the course material.
In this module I learned about different types of assessments, and what a specific assessment can tell us as instructors, about a student's understanding of the material, and progress with the material. I plan to apply this knowledge, to gain a better understanding of where the students are at in their learning, so that I can further tailor future lessons to fill in the gaps.
Creating meaningful assessments are critical to successful learning. Grading, even with rubrics, can be diffiult if the student writes a successful essay but it is against the instructor's personal fellings on the topic. As instructors we need to be cognizant of biases. We need to select the proper style of assessment for the objectives.
