...& Practices of Assessment ------------------------------------------------- Principles and Requirements of Assessment The Functions of Assessment Varieties of Assessment It's been said that in life, timing is everything. As in life, assessments performed at crucial times in the learning process can spell the difference between gathering data to evaluate students and using assessments to enhance learning. Based on timing and purpose, four functions of assessment data are: * Formative Assessment provides diagnostic feedback to students and instructors at short-term intervals (e.g., during a class or on a weekly basis) * Summative assessment provides a description of students' level of attainment upon completion of an activity, module, or course * Evaluative assessment provides instructors with curricular feedback (e.g., the value of a field trip or oral presentation technique) * Educative assessment Integrated within learning activities themselves, educative assessment builds student (and faculty) insight and understandings about their own learning and teaching. In short, assessment IS a form of learning. At its most useful, educative assessment (sometimes termed active assessment) is an episode in the learning process; part of reflection and autobiographical understanding of student progress. Diagnostic and Formative Assessment Diagnostic Pre-Assessments Diagnostic assessments (also known as pre-assessments) provide instructors...

...Assessment Analysis Paper Gentina Thompson NUR440: Health Assessment and Promotion for Vulnerable Population September 22, 2014 Assessment tools are a necessary part of everyday nursing care. They provide the nurse with measurable means of keeping inventory of a patient’s physical progression from shift to shift. Assessment tools like the Braden scale which assess the patient’s skin quality; along with the falls risk scale that assess how high the patient’s chances are for falling; are two common assessment tools used worldwide. Along with these physical assessment tools are an array of non-physical assessment tools used to evaluate anything from the patient’s coping skills to evaluating their stress level. Three popular ones are the daily hassle scale, Beck depression inventory, and the perceived stress scale. All three of these scales are imperative in finding out what kind of state the patient is in cognitively. Daily hassles are defined as “irritating, frustrating demands that occur during everyday interactions with the environment (Wright et al., 2010). Daily hassles are normally those daily interactions with family or friends that have regular occurrences; however are more difficult when trying to determine a beginning and an end. The Kanner Hassel scale is the most commonly used it generates eight scores on eight dimensions of time, pressure, work, financial responsibilities, health, neighborhood/environment, inner concerns, household responsibilities, and future security...

...Explain the role of Assessment in teaching and learning process. 1.1 Explain the function of assessment in learning and development. “Assessment is a way of finding out if learning has taken place. It enables you to ascertain if a student has gained the skills, knowledge and/or attitudes needed at a given point towards their programme of learning”. Gravells (2010 page 110). It is primarily a gauge for the teacher and student to be able to measure progress against set criteria. Assessment can be broken down according to its purpose, that of assessment for learning, assessment as learning, assessment of learning and evaluation. Assessment for learning may begin with initial and diagnostic assessments where a teacher can learn from a student any previous learning/study that will assist in the forthcoming teaching. This can take the form of testimonies from previous teachers, portfolios, certificates and conversation. This will allow the teacher to identify a starting point and capability of a student to achieve the required outcome in the learning they are about to perform. In my own role of teaching Professional Updates the students will present a workbook linked with the coming PU lesson which they will have completed prior to the PU training. I will examine and mark the workbook to check on their knowledge and understanding. This will give me an indication of a student’s strengths and weaknesses before the training commences and allows me to tailor the lesson plan to...

...opinion, is easy for clients to fill out. Substance abuse questions take up an entire page with a decent screening that asks the frequency and duration of use of alcohol, ten different substances, and a space for “other.” I think this screening is necessary for identifying substance use/abuse behaviors in order for the practitioner to be aware of these behaviors and possible risks during treatment. The final section of the intake form has seven different topics covered: family background and history, trauma, education, occupation, relationship history and current family, legal status, and spiritual beliefs. In my opinion, these questions are all appropriate for a screening, because as mentioned before, it allows the practitioner to take a holistic approach to treatment. At the very end of the form is about a half page worth of blank space for the client to provide any additional information that they would like the practitioner to...
