ED 1203 - INTRODUCTION TO TEACHING
The word ‘assess’ comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere’ meaning ‘to sit with’.
In assessment one is supposed to sit with the learner. This implies it is something we do ‘with’ and ‘for’ students and not ‘to’ students (Green, 1999).
Assessment in education is the process of gathering, interpreting, recording, and using information about pupils’ responses to an educational task. (Harlen, Gipps, Broadfoot, Nuttal,1992)

What is Evaluation?
Evaluation is the process of analyzing, reflecting upon, and summarizing assessment information and making judgments and/or decisions based on the information collected about student achievement in relation to outcomes.

Assessment vs. Evaluation
"Evaluation usually occurs when students finish a task, whereas assessment goes beyond evaluation to include gathering information about student performance as they work as well as when they are finished. Assessment is also usually done with the student, while evaluation is done to the students' work."

Formative Assessments:Assessments FOR learning happens while Assessments FOR learning happens while
learning is still underway.learning is still underway. These are assessments that:
are conducted throughout teaching and learning to diagnose student needs
plan the next steps in instruction provide students with feedback they can
use to improve the quality of their work help students see and feel how they are in
control of their journey to success

Definition: Formative assessment delivers information during the
instructional process, before the summative assessment. Both the teacher and the student use formative assessment results to make decisions about what actions to take to promote further learning. It is an ongoing, dynamic process that involves far more than frequent testing, and measurement of student learning is just one of its components.
Almost any assessment instrument can be used for summative or formative purposes, but some, by design, are better suited to summative use and others to formative use.

Effective Formative Assessments Provide the Following:1. Provide a clear and understandable vision of
the learning target
2. Use examples and models of strong and weak work
3. Offer regular descriptive feedback.
4. Teach students to self-assess and set goals.
5. Engage students in self-reflection, and let them keep track of and share their learning.
