WHY WE HATE ASSESSMENT“I JUST WANT TO TEACH IN PEACE
AND GIVE GRADES TO STUDENTS. I RESENT MUCH OF THE ASSESSMENT STUFF AS WAYS OF CRITICIZING TEACHERS FOR WASTING TAXPAYERS’ MONEY”
More reasons to hate assessment
• Tests trivialize liberal education
• Academic freedom
• Assessment crowds out teaching
The Measurement Paradigm• Stable body of knowledge and abilities
• Can be elicited using scientific procedures
• Elicitations can be analyzed using mathematical models
• Examples: SAT, GRE, TOEFL
ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING
“Assessment Manifesto” Stiggins (2008)
Effective classroom assessment improves student performance .5~1.0 standard deviations. (Black & Wiliam, 1998)
Balanced Assessment• Evaluation = Assessment = Testing
• Multiple measures, judges, purposes
• A portrait, not just a number
• Tied to local and personal needs
• Common goals, diverse evidence
