Week 5 Chp 13 (Assgn 4a)
1. Clarify the purposes for different types of assessments and how those assessments support learning in technology-rich environments.
Assessments are ongoing within school systems. Teachers need to be able to provide some evidence about what and how students learn during the instructions. Multiple assessments are used over the time period of instruction and can be done in several ways.
Diagnostic assessment is to used to anticipate whether the students are going to have a difficultly within the subject matter. For example if your requiring your students to re-enact a scene from William Shakespeare using iMovie. The Teacher might use an assessment to see if their students have the necessary skills to complete the assignment rather than assuming.
Preassessment help teachers make decisions about what content needs to be included during the instructions. Suppose in your science class your doing an entire unit on volcanoes, but you want to know what your students already know about volcanoes. Doing a preassessment will allow you to accurately plan for the unit based on what your student already know.
Summative assessment are a comprehensive view of the knowledge skills, behaviors, dispositions students have gained through the instructions. Allow the teacher to see how far along the student has come from the beginning of the unit plan. Teachers can use the preassessment to compare with the summative assessment to describe each students learning improvements.
2. What would be the most accurate why to present preassessment vs. summative information bases on each child's knowledge on the year as a whole to their parents. A bar graph? Pie chart?
3. I used preassessment in my math unit of measurement. This way I could accurately plan my upcoming unit.
