Self-Activity 5
- Create
an assessment tool which you could use to assess assessment tools
- Use your assessment tool to assess the five assessment tools listed on the schoolnet site.
When doing so, consider to whom the
assessment tool is directed. Is it personal and informative. Consider the amount
of detail provided in the criteria. Is it sufficient to provide constructive
advice for improving a skill? How would you improve each assessment tool so
that it fulfills your requirements for a good assessment tool?
Is it sufficient to provide constructive advice for improving a skill? No. The person who is receiving the feedback ought to be open to it, or else it will be a wasted effort.

All the assessment tools can be used by individuals, peers and teacher once there is clear description of the criteria, scores and weighting, and indication of who will be using them is also clear.
Terry-Ann, I found your assessments were spot on. I don't know If I was wrong but I kept looking for the objective for each rubric.
DeleteHi Esther,
DeleteThanks for observing that most important aspect. All seem to lack a written description of how to use the assessment tool along with the learning outcome or objective. Yes, you're right with what you observed.

ReplyDeleteVery well put together criteria. Should the person who will be using the tools possess any particular knowledge?
