Section 1: Experiential Learning
- The psychological educational assessment context
Questions
1) I chose the educational context because it is something I have personal experience
with. I obtained information from the textbook, along with my own experience.
2) Career counselling involves a qualified professional career counsellor conducting a
series of activities and questions designed to highlight the client’s strengths and
weaknesses. Once the information has been fully obtained, the counsellor will make
recommendations as to what sort of career fields would be most advantageous to the
client based on their current or potential skills and strengths. There are several
approaches which involve various techniques and activities. People involved are
usually in high school or adults.
3) Reasons for testing in this context are numerous. However, one notable reason for
testing in this context is to improve educators in their teaching approach as they will
have gained a more holistic understanding of learner’s strengths and weaknesses
and educators will be able to refer learners with special needs for appropriate help.
furthermore, testing in the context of career counseling is important because it
provides crucial guidance to those feeling lost and confused about what career
would suit them best. Guiding individuals towards their most suitable career path
will improve their overall job satisfaction and therefore future life satisfaction.
furthermore, psychological assessment in education can be used to hold teachers
accountable as it provides feedback on what school learners should know and be
able to do at various grade levels. This will ultimately improve the overall quality of
education provided by schools. OK the potential of a learner’s abilities can be
observed through dynamic assessment which is a more inclusive approach to
cognitive based testing. Lastly testing in this context assists in university
admissions decisions and the information gained can be used to guide program
planning and the development of student support initiatives.
4) The people who are tested in this context are usually children or young adults.
5) The test materials are stored in a safe and discrete location.
6) The person administering the tests and interpreting the results is a qualified
psychologist specializing in education psychological assessment and /or career
counseling.
