Effectiveness of Assessments
Assessment is process teachers use to evaluate their students before, during and after learning with an aim of finding out what they know prior to learning and what they have learnt after the learning process. There different types of assessments each with its role. The pre-assessment is a type of assessment done by the teacher before learning begins to evaluate what the students know. It’s done to find out the skills and strengths and prior knowledge that students have before learning. The formative assessment is a type of assessment done during learning to ensure that the students master the concepts being taught in class. It helps the teacher identify the students that need additional help before a unit is completed. The teacher can give questions or assign students to groups and identify the weak students. The summative pre-assessment is done after learning. A teacher uses it to identify what the student has learnt and how effective the learning process (Chapman & Gregory, 2007).
Teachers need to ensure students access their education needs equally irrespective of their diversities. This requires them to understand and appreciate the different cultures of the students and develop an assessment that will ensure effective and equitable educational experience for everyone. In order to develop an efficient assessment, the teacher needs first to research on the diverse cultures and ways in which they could influence assessment. Then understand the students’ strength in language and how they communicate. Enumerate the contents of a quality assessment then develop an assessment which accommodates all cultures and languages. Use a developed assessment to identify any loopholes in the developed assessment. Increase knowledge by reading sources to help
