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.
Testing is integral to my job as a middle school teacher as well as my job as an adjunct professor. Assessment is meant as a tool for students to learn. The evaluative part is really such a small portion. Feedback and reteaching have much more of a significant effect.
La evaluación objetiva nos permite recopilar información precisa en corto tiempo y solo medir el conocimiento, pero no el nivel criterial del alumno, ya que solo va a elegir o marcar entre los diferentes tipos de pruebas que hay (verdadero o falso; alternativa múltiple y emparejamiento) pero no va a recibir una retraolimentación del docente. Aquí se llega solo a un nivel básico de apredizaje, por eso se recimienda que no se abuse de usar solo este tipo de pruebas, sino que sea una entre las diferentes alternativas. Mientras que las pruebas subjetivas noos permiten conocer la creatividad y opinión de los estudiantes, ya que al construir sus respuestas el proceso es más elaborado y requiere que ellos analicen, opinen, comenten, amplíen, etc. como al construir ensayos o resolver problemas, pero siempre se recimienda que utilicen un instrumento como una rúbrica, así podrá identificar sus logros y la retroalimentación será más efectiva.
La aplicaré con mis alumnos en las evaluaciones de cada módulo del curso, construyendo evaluaciones subjetivas que respondan a mi plan de estudios, acompañadas de rúbricas de evaluación para los proyectos y ensayos.
Objective questions, most commonly used, have definite right and wrong answers. They can easily be computer score. Subject questions call for a better understanding of the material, and is subject to an instructo's evaluation.
I learned that it's important to always provide feedback to the students after doing essays, assements, quizes etc. Personally I enjoy feedback so I need to make sure that I'm providing my students with that on assignments. I currently provide them with feedback on an overall aspect and during chapters we cover along with clinic time so I will be expanding on this.
I don't see the application of norm referenced assessments in the classroom directly.
I currently use the criterion assessment but lookin at the subjetive test would be beneficial.
Validity is crucial and ensures a test measures what it is intended to measure.
In providing assessment, both objective and subjective feedback should be considered and provided in assessing a students understanding and knowledge outcomes.
I really loved this module.
It clearly and beautifully described the concept and the differences between reliability and validity "which are both very important to concider when designing an assessment tool", objective and subjective assessments and norm- and Criterion-referenced assessments.
I use this in a way when I observe instructors during online classes. I only apply objective facts based on what I see during the time in the lecture and save the subjective comments until I reach the part of the observation that requires me to look at the overall performance of instructor as whole.
Providing feedback its important and helps the student to understand why its wrong.
In this module, I have learned that Norm-referenced assessments are used to compare a student's skills to skills of others within a particular group. Norm-referenced assessments are most appropriate when the instructor wants to make comparisons across a large numbers of students or needs to make a decision regarding student placement and advancement.
I like so much the norm-referenced assessments because I can use in the classrooms and I can compare the skills of some students with others in the diferents materias, to evaluate their outcomes.
In this module I learned about creation of an asertive assessment objective or subjective and also about norm-referenced and criterion referenced assessment. Personally, I love crtierion referenced assessment, but both are necesarry.
I had never considered utilizing criterion-referenced assessments, focusing only on objective assessments. I plan to investigate criterion-referenced assessments more thoroughly. I am also interested in utilizing a greater amount of subjective assessments with well-designed rubrics to evaluate the student's response.
objective and subjective assessmets are equally important
