Formative assessments: Feedback needs more improvements. E.g. Composition writing was given feedback 1-to-1 is quite idealistic. Nevertheless, writing little notes on the composition after marking did help the students to write better essay the next time round.
Another way is to share good composition and acceptable unique plots that is aligned to values and desirable students outcomes.
Students need to taste success and such formative assessment will assist students in attaining such sweet success.
feedback for formative assessment...need to improve the quality of feedback.... possibly for essays to indicate the comments along the essay rather than at the end of the essay.
both quality and quantity of formative assessment is important
Formative assessment allows students to explore new ways of thinking/processes without fear of being penalised. It motivates & rewards creativity. - Li Ling
Can there be a hybrid, summative or formative assessment?
We have PAL tests. We believed that it is a form of hybrid model assessment as the assessment result contributes to the students' final result. We also spent time going through and explaining to the students their areas of weaknesses via these tests.
How do we gauge too much of formative is enough and how do we ensure that at the end of the day, summative accounts more and it is the bigger component for overall national exam
The 3 tiered questions inclusive of CRI is gd but the accurancy of the analysis is very much based on the integrity of the respondants for sharing the truth of the CRI
More often than not, we are facing classes of students who seems like having a false feeling that they know the right answers! BUT in reality, they are NOT!
How do we balance the 3rd tier or even 2nd tier to execute the analysis? Time consuming yet effective. UNLESS we have a computer-generated assisting software.
HOw does this applicable to Language department? Which component might be relevant? Grammar? Vocabulary? Open-ended comprehension?
Here is a suggestion. After lunch, can people change seats? People who have to turn their backs to face the presenter can change with those that do not. It very tiring for this group of people. Further, the positions of the groups can also change. It is a well known observation that different seating arrangement affect the effectiveness of learning. The round table arrangement is definitely not conducive for long periods of lecture time. Thanks people. Let's do something revolutionary!
How about using negative marking for wrong answer during MCQ? For Eg: every wrong answer, deduct 1/4 mark. This prevents guessing. This method is used for MCQs for professional exams (CEHA, insurance agents etc) and psych exams at uni.

3 things that have we learnt? * DI & FI can be implemented only with knowledge of student's profile. * Student's profile survey, conversation and assignments * Hybrid Formative assessment will ensure students to taste success.
CRI - might need more exploration for Language teachers.
MTL teachers have always imbibed the social-emotional learning deliberately when values are shared in daily teaching and learning. This is in addition to reflections. Both teacher and students, after every lesson.
HAMALA students ------- Interesting!!!
ReplyDeleteWe have PAL, SPA, class tests, graded assignments etc which are a hybrid of summative and formative. 6 per term. (still discussing)
ReplyDeleteTheories and concepts explained, directed to whole class. Address questions when time allow more in depth

ReplyDeleteFormative assessment can be any form of assessment as long as feedback is provided that is not included in the CA/SA
We realise that certain activities such as bus-stop/group works are actually formative activities that should not be in the final assessment.
Art:
We agree too.
D&T:
We agree three.

ReplyDeleteAlso learned now that summative is a test of understanding, while formative is a test of learning.
P.S Peanuts are nice. ^_^
How do we gauge too much of formative is enough and how do we ensure that at the end of the day, summative accounts more and it is the bigger component for overall national exam
ReplyDeletewhat is required is a BALANCE...formative to guide and help the learning. Summative assessment is a requirement of the National exam
ReplyDeleteFocused learning is a good idea. Useful in pin-pointing the students who needs help.
ReplyDeleteCRI heavily relies on the honesty of the student when they answer the questions.
ReplyDeleteThe 3 tiered questions inclusive of CRI is gd but the accurancy of the analysis is very much based on the integrity of the respondants for sharing the truth of the CRI
ReplyDeleteCRI MCQ is meant for formative or summative?- WHEY
ReplyDeleteHow do we group students in exam who has both lack of knowledge and misconceptions? - WAN YING
Do we need to include the CRI in our formative assmt?
ReplyDeleteMore often than not, we are facing classes of students who seems like having a false feeling that they know the right answers! BUT in reality, they are NOT!

ReplyDeleteCRI could be used for open-ended comprehension questions - in determining students' ability in understanding and answering different question types.
How could CRI be used in essay writing?
How do we balance the 3rd tier or even 2nd tier to execute the analysis? Time consuming yet effective. UNLESS we have a computer-generated assisting software.
ReplyDeleteHOw does this applicable to Language department? Which component might be relevant? Grammar? Vocabulary? Open-ended comprehension?
How and where do we get the database questions? - Michelle
ReplyDeleteWe do find the CRI idea very interesting.
ReplyDeleteBut can it be applied to other forms of questions instead of MCQ?
For the question, it is possible to list down process instead of answers as the 4 options?

Perhaps another way to test CRI might be playing the point system. Correct ans-3pts: Wrong ans: 0 pts awarded; No answer: -ve 5 points
ReplyDeleteTHE SCIENCE DEPT is really curious as to where to get and how to get and how much the price for the FI/DI? give us your source.LIONEL
