...formal formative assessments were planned. The diagnostic assessment planned for LE1 is a formal formative record sheet aligned to the outcomes in Stage 1 and will be used to assess students’ prior knowledge of the topic. Diagnostic assessments provide the teacher with critical information, such as prior knowledge and misconceptions that can be used to guide future learning experiences and differentiate learning (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2010, p. 38). Next, a mid–unit summative assessment was planned for LE5 to check student progress towards the learning outcomes. This summative assessment will help gauge student understandings and inform future learning experiences;...

...My Assessment Philosophy I believe assessment should be embraced by educators and used as a tool to guide students towards academic success. Assessment is a vital part of the teaching and learning process. The assessment of prior knowledge, diagnostic assessment, helps highlight students’ understandings and misconceptions. Diagnostic assessment, assessment for learning, is also the starting point of planning process. Assessment is a process that should be put in place throughout the teaching and learning process, formative assessment. Formative assessment, assessment as learning, allows educators to monitor students’ progress and adjust plans accordingly. Summative assessment, assessment of learning, is the assessment of students’ overall development...

...Delivering Learning and Development Activities Level 31 Credit value 6 Unit code 3DLA Unit review date Sept. 2011 Purpose and aim of unit This core unit will provide the knowledge and skills required to deliver planned learning and development (L&D) activities, for example one-to-one, small group and large group sessions. The need for learning and development arises for diverse reasons, including both individual self-assessment and organisational assessment. A learning and development needs analysis may identify organisational challenges or problems affecting employees, for example major organisational change; the introduction of new operations or systems and/or the maintenance of existing operations or systems. The identification of learning and development needs may also arise during an induction process. This unit will review adult learning principles and the learning cycle, but the main focus will be on the importance of creating and maintaining a positive learning environment and the knowledge and skills required for the actual delivery of an activity or session. This unit is suitable for persons who: are aspiring to, or embarking on, a career in HR/L&D are working in the field of HR/L&D in a support role and wish to develop their knowledge and skills have responsibility for HR/L&D activities and decisions within an organisation without a specialist function wish to develop their knowledge, skills and capabilities in delivering learning and development...

...& 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 and classroom learning By Black, Paul, Wiliam, Dylan, Assessment in Education: Principles, Policy & Practice Mar1998, Vol. 5, Issue 1 ABSTRACT This article is a review of the literature on classroom formative assessment. Several studies show firm evidence that innovations designed to strengthen the frequent feedback that students receive about their learning yield substantial learning gains. The perceptions of students and their role in self-assessment are considered alongside analysis of' the strategies used by teachers and the formative strategies incorporated in such systemic approaches as mastery learning. There follows a more detailed and theoretical analysis of the nature of feedback, which provides a basis for a discussion of the development of theoretical models for formative assessment and of the prospects for the improvement of practice. Introduction One of the outstanding features of studies of assessment in recent years has been the shift in the focus of attention, towards greater interest in the interactions between assessment and classroom learning and away from concentration on the properties of restricted forms of test which are only weakly linked to the learning experiences of" students. This shift has been coupled with many expressions of hope that improvement in classroom assessment will make a strong contribution to the improvement of learning. So one main purpose of this review is to survey the evidence which might show whether or...

...collected data, used different assessment methods, gathered feedback from student, had several discussions and reflected on my own practice. I used this research to form the evidence for findings and conclusions. 1. Questioning – Key assessment method I improved my questioning techniques which has resulted in a better learning environment for the students and improved my teaching. There are several different sources of evidence for this claim; firstly this is something that has been mentioned by my tutors, saying that my questioning was “good teaching methodology and …. Method of ongoing assessment” (Appendix 3.7), and “questioning again using probing and scaffolding techniques to elicit feedback and encourage elaboration allowed you to identify gaps in students' knowledge” (Appendix 3.4). I got feedback from the students through the teacher after I had left and they mentioned that my question...

...Mentoring and enabling learning in the practice setting A reflective account of my experience of facilitating learning, assessing and teaching a student or co-worker, and how this experience will inform my future development within the mentor or practice teacher role. Student Number: 2930211 Word Count: 3150 Part 1: Introducing the Mentorship role I am a band five registered paediatric nurse based on an orthopaedic and spinal surgical ward in a tertiary paediatric hospital. I am currently engaging in completing my training to become a qualified mentor. This reflective account details my experiences assessing, teaching and facilitating the learning of a student during their practice based learning, and how this experience may affect my future practice. Throughout the account, in order to protect the identities of people, trust and clinical setting involved confidentiality will be maintained via the use of pseudonyms or omission of names (Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), 2008a). The function of practice based learning is to provide experience, serving an important role in developing the skills of the student in interacting with patients and their families assisting in technical, psychomotor, interpersonal and communication skills (Ali and Panther, 2008). Practice based learning provides an opportunity to link theory and practice, and promotes professional identity development (Fishel and Johnson, 1981). Practice based learning is also crucial in the profession of nursing...
