THE BIG question

Why do we need to rethink our view on assessment?

The present testing practice is unfair Assessment is very much a tacit knowledge in Norway Feedback is not working properly Formative assessment works better

8 The nature of the problem: understanding criteria and level The text reflects a high level of understanding of the topic and clearly/effectively fulfils the purpose of the task. The text clearly expresses what is understood and known about the topic and includes a personal response or opinion. Excellent use of details, examples and information from outside sources. The presentation has a clear introduction and a strong sense of conclusion, while notes and ICT are used sparingly to convey information in an organized fashion. There is an effective use of connectors and transitions to signal the organisation. There is a high level of mastery of pronunciation and intonation and a wide range of vocabulary and sentence structures which aid the flow of communication. The language precisely expresses the ideas of the speaker; mistakes or breakdowns in communication are rare and often corrected, and the language is appropriate to the defined audience.

The learner is able to effectively discuss the topic of the presentation spontaneously, using information, details and examples. HOLISTIC description 10 klasse

Taxonomy in assessment criteria

9 The nature of the problem: Feedback problems students aren’t

engaging

•Students don’t read their feedback- put it in the bin (Gibbs and Simpson 2002) or at least •Students don’t understand their feedback (Lea and Street 1998; Gibbs and Simpson 2002; McCune 2002) •Students don’t use their feedback (Gibbs and Simpson)

teachers work hard correcting papers, but students aren’t engaging!

10

Formative assessment works better

 Assessment that seeks to improve learning rather than meaure learning works better.

11 The nature of change: Visible Teaching – Visible Learning John Hattie 2009

12 Are you an experienced teacher or an expert teacher? John Hattie 2009 The expert teacher:  Students assess their own work   Teacher gives feed-back and feed forward Micro-teaching     Student teaching Higher order thinking – i depth Takes control over the learning process (intrusive) Knows the level of all her students    Communicates with the students Controls the classroom Gives clear instructions

13

Metacognition – self-assessment

At the end of the day, all that matters educationally is self assessment. (…) In terms of a specific agenda for assessment and learning, nothing has a higher place than ensuring the development of students' abilities to self assess. (David Boud 1998)

Assessment for learning

Where to start?

1.

2.

3.

Understanding the nature of your own practice Developing a precise vocabulary about assessment Understanding how to motivate, not discourage students through formative assessment

O’Donovan, Price & Rust 2008

Active student engagement 3. The Social Constructivist Model

Actively engaging students in formal processes to communicate tacit knowledge of standards

The Future

4. The ‘Cultivated’ Community of Practice Model

Tacit standards communicated through participation in informal knowledge exchange networks ‘seeded’ by specific activities.

17

The Past

2. The ‘Dominant Logic’ Explicit Model

Standards explicitly articulated (with limitations) and passively presented to students

1. The Traditional Model –

Tacit standards absorbed over relatively longer times informally and serendipitously

Passive student engagement

18 TRANSPARENCY – school – teachers - parents - students

Who are plans made for?

A Course plan – Knowledge Promotion 2006 + GCSE B Term plans – Local plans ★★★★★ Mentor based guidance– administration

C Classroom plans – local plan

✔ Kollegabasert veiledning - colleagues

Concepts

Formative assessment: feedback/forward and grading Summative assessment: grading Assessment for teaching Assessment as learning Adapt lessons to student level Develop self assessment?

Report back to students?

Assessment of learning - feedback Assessment for learning – feed forward Get information about the students’ learning?

Assessment situations 19 Evaluation

Motivation

a price you pay?

”Teachers who invite students into an interesting and challenging process, have got a better chance of creating inner motivation ( in-depth learning) Assessment forms which focus on future learning are motivating.” All students must experience:  Real goals   Mastery Success    Improvement To be challenged To be believed in

Motivation –

language production

Errors might be a sign of progress OR A SYSTEMATIC MISTAKE Mistakes are not SYSTEMATIC B1 – student På et visst språklig nivå vil språkproduksjonen preges av språklig eksperimentering og dermed oppstår feil som må betraktes som tegn på fremgang. (Europarådet: Brian North 2007)

23

Motivation –

effort

40 år

Effort

Is not part of the grade. We only assess the result of effort.

Competence

I can do-

aims Accountability- national tests, etc.

Employability - labour market PISA How much work do you do? - What competence have you obtained?

Motivation - responsibility

Personalised learning

Making plans transparent Develop aims and objectives in cooperation with the students Make students responsible Assessement practices check learning day by day, month by month, term, course 24 Set learning objectives - know how to reach them - assess your own learning

Training! Student text

Exercise is something that people all over the world are doing, and lately there has been very popular to start at a gym. Someone train to loose weight, others just train to keep in shape others to huild muscles. Exercise is good thing, you wiII be in better shape. and you wiIl get better selfesteam. Someone makes money from training, for example as bodybuilders and weight lifters.Weight lifters is an Olympic sport. Personal trainers also makes monev from training, they help other people to get in shape, many people take steroids as a shortcut to get bigger muscles. But with to much steroids you will get some bad side effects, like bad heart, kidney and liver fail.Also

alot ofAthletics in the Olympics games uses drugs so they get better, but this is cheating. And if they test you and the test is positiv they wiIl bann you.

Writing frame Othprosjektet

There are differing explanations as to why (how, what, when etc.)……. One explanation is that…… My name is Tommy, I'm 16 years old, I am studying to be a carpenter.

My hobby is boxing . I train every day almost. Some other tings I like is to sleep and be with my girlfrend .

I'm boxing because it is the sport for me. I can't see myself playing football. I thinks it is boring. I'm boxing in Saupstad The training starts at 6 pm, and it is 4 times a week, when I'm not training boxing, I train at a gym.

The evidence for this is…… When I sleep after school.

: the reason why I sleep is becaus I'm geting so tired after school. Then it is good to sleep An alternative explanation is….. This explanation is based on….. Rigth now jobb.

the most important thing is to be god at school and be presis to the class, so I can get a god 31 Of the alternative explanations I think the most likely is…. In the future i woud like to be a carpenter because I can't se myself siting in an office.

My mesage to te world is to pay atention to the school.

What kind of questions do you ask?

Effective teschers use:( higher order thinking skills) • More open than closed questions • More complex than simple questions Research from England shows:

70-80% simple closed factual questions 20-30% are questions that need explanations, clarifications,

extensions, or generalisations (Dpt of education and skills, England) • It takes about 0.9 seconds from the teacher asks a question till the answer is given– 3 s. – minutes is recommended 32 slideshare

33

34

Responses – follow up questions

Extension

Require students to elaborate on the response given to an earlier question. Such questions indicate to the learner that the original response was in the right direction but was not adequate.

Clarification

Useful when the student’s response is unclear or incomplete.

Justification

Require the learner to provide rationale for the previously-given response. Useful in providing insights into thinking and reasoning processes of students and revealing errors in these processes.

Prompting (hint) Useful when students do not respond to the original question

Redirection

Used to elicit a variety of opinions during problem-solving sessions or discussions.

Planning

Use questions to identify learning objectives for follow-up self-study. Pose questions

Day to day assessment

 Effective questioning  Wait time (3 seconds - 3 min)    Check with your partner time Answer time: No hands policy Answer time: All hands policy  Effective checking/ reporting/      Show me when you have learned this Explain this to Peter, he needs your expertise Check yourself: blank paper. Miniboards Cups – red, white  Log – end of lesson

38

Write down as many words as you can related to “assessment for learning.”

Progressiv pedagogikk

En progressiv pedagogikk krever frigjøring fra lærebøkene, kreativitet fra lærerens side, tilpasning til elevenes interesser og behov og tilrettelegging av elevaktive arbeidsformer. (Imsen, 2003: 65)

Actively engaging students with assessment and feedback 49 The Social Constructivist Process Model, Rust et al, 2005
