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.
As all interactions we want students to gain something of value from assessment. Value-added assessments means that the assessments are not purely evaluative, but serve a purpose in the students learning and the professors instruction.
I learned important strategies for creating rubrics for my classes, as well as how to use rubrics effectively to assess student performance, and how to adjust rubrics to fit the needs of classes.
La evaluación de valor agregado es un gran reto para los docentes, ya que deben ser de nivel A1 porque deben conocer muchas estrategias para atender de manera personailizada a cada estudiante según su avance, sus logros y sus debilidades, se le debe acompañar y apoyar en su logro. Además, esto lleva a que los docentes puedan reunirse en grupos de interacción para compartir experiencias y puedan ayudar con mayor agilidad a los alumnos. Referente a las rúbricas, queda muy claro que son instrumentos de evaluación objetiva que ayudan mucho a los docentes en la evaluación, permitiendo retroalimentar en ellas según los criterios de logro de cada alumno, así como se deben construir sobre ciertos criterios y se pueden adaptar algunas que ya existen , para agilizar la actividad. Finalmente, la evaluación de un curso virtual es muy importante y necesaria antes de brindarlo a los alumnos, aplicando allí la evaluación diagnóstica, formativa y sumativa.
Lo aplicaré con mis alumnos en los cursos donde utilizo rúbricas de evaluación, revisando los criterios para su claridad y el logro de los objetivos planificados.
It was quite intersting to look at the actual process of developing a course from start to finish. Further, after the course has been utilized, it is equally important to continually review it, and see if in fact it is performing as designed.
Value added assesment is very beneficial to both my students as well as myself.
Wow - this topic felt like theoretical academia. In what world would you opt for Alternative Assessment over Authentic? One of the bullets was to ensure you choose topics of interest to the student. What about meeting course objectives? I must be old-school because authentic made the most sense for me.
The correct rubric for the course is essential and making sure that it is easy to understand will enhance the student experience.
I learned the importance of the rubic for the students to learn and understand how they are graded.
The importance of providing rubrics prior to assignment submission, provides students with an outline of how their submission will be assessed and also what is required to achieve success.
beautiful and interestinf modules.
value-added, alternative, and authentic assessment are all new to me and I am super excited to see how I can implement them in our curriculum. I also enjoyed learning about the course evaluation steps and I think they are very applicable even in on campus courses.
Rubrics are a great way for students know what to expect.
In this module, I have learned that Student evaluations are an essential source of information on how well a course is designed to meet its outcomes/objectives, and can lead to course revision. The four levels of evaluation to move toward course revision include: reactions, learning, transfer, and results.
I learned that the evaluation is one the most important processs in the students evaluation in the courses. When the professor use a good rubric and complete have an effective teaching.
In this module I reviewed about alternative and authentic assessment, and about the importance of rubrics for a beter learning experience.
There are several forms of value-added assessments. Instructors should consider their implementation based on the goals of the course and student needs. I'm a big believer in the use of rubrics. I am constantly revising them as I gather more and more data about student performance on specific tasks.
Value added is valuable to imporve studwnt learning by improving upon their individual levels of intellect
I have learned that the authentic assessment would be the most important for me to integrate into my classes. Authentic assessment can demonstrate the appropriate skills and knowledge needed in Nursing. They need to know how to apply their knowledge in real world situations. Value assessments are also important to integraet into the lessons. Rubrics are so important in setting the standards for students to follow for their educational purposes. Use of a rubric gives students the tools they need to know what is being asked of them so that they may apply themselves in the best way possible.
This module was ripe with new information. The value-added assessment was intriguing and I can see how it would be useful to a large variety of students.
