(done by the class teacher)
Assessment tools:

overall ability
give sense of achievement and progress discriminate against students with test
anxiety
useful learning or review can be extremely stressful (crucial grades)
quiet, concentrated work
b) alternative assessment
c) teacher assessment
+ takes into account different aspects - subjective

+ combination of the different grades - subjective
e) self-assessment
+ reflect on and take responsibility own evaluation - subjective

criteria:
criterion-referenced assessment: judge the student according to some fixed criterion
norm-referenced assessment: evaluate the student’s performance relative to what
you would expect from the particular group
individual-referenced assessment: relate the assessment of an individual student to
his/her own previous performance or to an estimate of his/her individual ability
Components of the grade:
decide criterion
decide what information you will use as basis for the grade
if you have a choice, take into account;
o ongoing work + tests
o effort and progress
o homework assignments (consistently submitted)
o portfolio
perhaps include behaviour
decide weight of different components
How the grade can be expressed:
percentages = most common
letters, word, phrases
o less impersonal
o less definitive
profiles: comprising a number of separate grades on different skills / sections of
knowledge
in more detail, shows strengths and weaknesses
evaluative comments
o avoids to give a grade
o better to give a grade + encouraging and constructive comments
Practical tips:
tell students early on what your criteria are
discuss the grade with individual students
keep the grades private
