Exam 7: Assessing Student Learning in Model-Based Instruction

Criterion-based assessments are designed by teachers to assess specific learning outcomes determined by the teachers themselves.

Student performance on alternative assessments are evaluated with a rubric that is determined prior to the assessment

Student interviews, multimedia presentations, and activity logs are examples of alternative assessments for physical education.

Fitness tests, skills tests, and group projects are all examples of traditional assessments in physical education.

Alternative assessment techniques typically produce numerical test scores or data on student achievement.

Rather than a grade, or a test score, the rubric will indicate a level of performance (i.e., 'Unsatisfactory,' 'Satisfactory,' or 'Excellent').

Portfolios can be used to allow a student/s to collect and organize various kinds of artifacts that demonstrate knowledge of a certain topic or concept.

Assessment scales are used to inform students of the performance criteria on the assessment ahead of time, and as the basis of the teacher's review of the completed work.

Fitness tests, skills tests, fitness tests, and most psychometric instruments are criterion based.

Artistic assessment refers to making assessments in ways that involve, or simulate, the real-life settings in which student knowledge learned in school will be applied.

The rubric describes both the expected completeness and quality of work that the student/s must submit as evidence of learning.

Continuous assessment is done regularly, even for every learning activity.

It is possible to take so much time to assess that it limits learning time for students.

The most practical assessments are 'built into' learning tasks and take no extra time to complete.

Formative assessment is done at the end of the unit.

Standardized skills tests are categorized as traditional assessments.

Standardized assessments allow teachers to compare their students with other groups of students, even those across the country.

Perhaps the greatest advantage with alternative assessments is their ability to allow students a variety of ways to demonstrate their knowledge.

Most fitness tests are examples of norm-based assessments.

Assessment and evaluation are the same thing.
