A rubric is essential when it comes to grade transparency.
I learned about the value of Value assessments
I learned that sometimes is not good to use rubrics.
I actually copied this and put it on a sticky note, as I find it so important:
The evaluation process for an online course should include the following steps:
Develop an overall evaluation strategy that helps the instructor plan how and when to evaluate the effectiveness of the instruction.
Develop a formative evaluation strategy that can be used to revise instruction as the course is being developed and implemented.
Develop a summative evaluation strategy that is conducted after instruction is completed and provides information for course revision and future planning.
Collect data from students using both quantitative and qualitative methods.
Collect and analyze evaluation data and make necessary changes. Careful analysis will help identify weaknesses and strengths in the instructional process.
Potential benefits are provided by value-added assessment over other methods of analyzing student scores include focus, fair comparison, accountability, and diagnostics. These all assist in investigating students' growth in learning by comparing students' current level of learning to their own past learning.
Rubrics should be used in the assessment process because many experts believe that rubrics improve students' end products and therefore increase learning. When students receive rubrics prior to the assignment/project, they understand how they will be evaluated and can prepare accordingly.
Rubrics are essential piece of information that provides specific feedback for students to grow and learn from.
Value-added assessments were presented in this section. They are helpful in that they give students a way of measuring their learning by comparing their current scores with prior ones.
I like the idea of developing value-added assessments that allow students to compare their progress to themselves over time. I do that a bit, but I'd like to figure out other ways of doing it.
I have learned to be more conscious of evaluating my evaluations and how effectively they are illustrating student learning.
During this session I was able to understand in depth the reasoning behind having a rubric and how that will help guide the assignment.
Although I have used rubrics for years, in this module i learned how essential they are for student success and learner understanding of the goals for the assignment.
By implementing Value Added Assessment in my classroom, I hope to create a more data-driven and student-centered learning environment.
All types of evaluations are important but the most important thing are the use combination of then adequately
A rubric helps students to know when assignments are due and what to do.
This reinforces my understanding and appreciation for rubrics. They are an excellent tool and resource to both student and teacher in a multitude of ways.
Value-added evaluation is a strategy that allows measuring instructional effectiveness. It is defined, operationally, as the difference between students' performance on a standardized test
Rubrics provide the student with information regarding the course requirements.
I learned that rubrics are way more useful than just providing consistency.
The students assesment and evaluations are a rich tool to improve a program, course, unit, content or task!
The course as a whole should be analyzed to investigate methods for course improvement. the purpose of evaluating a course is to determined if the instructional methods and content have been presented in a method appropriate to accomplishing outcomes/objectives.
