Answer to Question #195747 in English for kagiso

Question

True or False

1. The school assessment programme can only be carried in a constructive way, if educators collect, record and report on specified assessment activities.

Answer 1

True

Assessment is matched to the desired learning outcomes in constructive alignment, and students construct knowledge through teaching and learning experiences. Learners demonstrate how they meet the results by evaluation, demonstrating the development of knowledge and skills.

The following elements would be present in a 'constructive' assessment:

Transparency – determine what you want to test and create evaluation standards that represent this. Discuss these with students so they understand what is required of them. This will enable them to focus their learning in the most effective way possible.

Validity – evaluate the skills or characteristics that represent the course's learning outcomes.

Establish and clearly identify labeling parameters that are consistent with the course of study's learning outcomes, making the evaluation process objective, precise, and repeatable.

Authenticity – Consider the expertise and skills that are applicable in the workplace and that employers respect.

Educators can only achieve this if they collect, record and report on specified assessment activities.
