Definition

This article will deal with assessment of student performance, i.e. student evaluation - we also will focus on more sophisticated evaluation rubrics for activity-based instructional designs...

First principles

  • Assessment should always be based on clear pedagocial objectives, that also should be communicated to the learners.
  • Pedagogical objectives can be very different. It is not the same to require from someone to able to recall "data or information" or to be able to "to pull together knowledge and to apply in a real world project", or event to be able to acquire knowledge for a given task ! (See learning type and learning level).

Evaluation Tools

Rubrics

  • Rubystar is a free tool to help teachers create quality rubrics.


Product-based evaluation

Checklists for auto-evaluation

  • PBL Checklists, age-appropriate, customizable project checklists for written reports, multimedia projects, oral presentations, and science projects. The use of these checklists keeps students on track and allows them to take responsibility for their own learning through peer- and self-evaluation.
