I have learned that allowing and encouraging students to add valuable evaluations about the course is essential to improving the course and find better ways to assess the students. For example, one great way to assess students is through the use of rubrics, as rubrics given prior to the assessment allow the student to know how they will be evaluated and hence can prepare accordingly to ensure the best results and learning outcomes.
I have learnt that evaluation should add value to everyone and a reference point it the knowledge and skills student have before entering the course.
Tanto las tres evaluaciones, valor agregado, autentica y alternativa, son permiten otras miradas al proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje centrado en el alumno y su propio procesos. Las rubricas son herramientas muy buenas para establecer los criterios precisos para evaluar y ayuda a nuestros estudiantes tenerlas antes asi pueden enfocarse mejor
The rubrics are a guide so that there is clarity when evaluating and reaching agreements with the students. When they are not established, there is subjectivity in the teacher's evaluation.
I haven't used a Rubric in the past, although it appears to be a bit time consuming at first, it's a great tool in achieving better overall outcomes for the student and instructor.
I like the 5 evaluation components. They provide a good blueprint for effective course evaluation, as well as help to identify weak areas in the course delivery
i believe this was very valueable and helpful to all
I learned about three types of assessments: value-added, alternative, and authentic assessment. The ruberic information was a nice reminder of how valuable these tools can be.
I learned that pre assesments are extremly important inorder to conduct diagnostic assessments. It's important to measure students pre existing skills/knowlege that students already have mastered. The diagnostic assessment will provide students with quick assessments at the beginging of the course..
When creating a rubic the instructor must focus on measuring student outcomes and have built in objectives related to quality and or pefrormance.
I learned the importance of using a rubrics for grading subjective assessment. The rubrics provides feedback for the students and evaluation to improve the course.
Value-added assessment involves takining any student data used to document students growth in learning by comparing students current level of learning to their own past learning.
Value-added assessment provides focus,fair comparsion, accuntability, and diagonstic.
Rubrics play a large role in how student learning is evaluted and recorded. Also, rubrics provides a measure of qulaity of performance on the basis of established criteria.
Rubrics role in evaluation and reording of student learning.
Hi,
I agree with Thuraya Abdulla, about three types of assessments: value-added, alternative and authentic assessments were new terminologies.
This was defintely my favorite module of this course so far! I didn't know that the way most of my assesments are set up are a mix of authentic and alternative! I'm really happy to have learned some specifics about these methods that I can help to further improve my assesment methods. I also appreciated the last module that discussed evaluating your course after assesment. Its an imperative part of the process that I don't think new teachers hear about often, so I'm glad it was included here.
Value added assessments compare students level of knowledge and understanding after they have been taught information to their level of knowledge when they started, measures how well the instructor delivered the course information to ensure growth and knowledge of the students.
In this module I have learned that the different assessments provided here (value-added, alternative, authentic and the rubric) are valueable sources to help the student succeed in their course work and also help the instructor with the feedback needed for course revision and grading criteria.
It been a pleasure learinnig about value added assement
In this module I learned that one of the reasons a rubric should be used in assessment, is that it helps the student to understand how they will be evaluated, so that they can prepare accordingly. After learning about the advantages of using a rubric, I then learned from the module the 3 common features of rubrics, in order to be able to apply this tool in the classroom.
Value added assessment can be made in many instances, and can be beneficial. This is particularly useful in online education as student growth can be identified. Working with rubrics can be beneficial to everyone as it gives students knowledge of what will be graded (often not the specific answer, but how it was presented) and gives instructors places to point out strengths and weaknesses of a given answer.
Having revised two courses in very different circumstances, all types of evaluation are valid. Instructors need to be constantly evaluating the student population (it changes from class to class) response and pay attention to what works, or doesn't. Get feedback from students as often as possible.
