Hello, Mrs. Sibanda

I've been studying strategies about learning and teaching in management courses. Thus, I believe that the "flipped classroom" is a good way to assess the student during assessment for learning. Another good strategy is the "peer instruction", the class is conducted mixing quick lectures, brief tests, debate about the aswers when students argue about them, and the teacher explanations.

Thank you so much Prof Kruel for an informative answer.

Yes, I agree with Prof Kruel too. Another way especially with school children, use games as interesting way to access them with presents for some high scores.

Yes, Prof. Ghazali, I agree. The games can be a good option, even in the university. In management courses, we can adopt games as business simulators, specially in the two final years, when the students can use their knowledge, experiences and skils to conduct their "virtual business".

For me, the best assessment for learning was observation and questioning each and every day. Any other form of assessment tended to be confirmatory or corrective.

Assessment methods are the strategies, techniques, tools and instruments for collecting information to determine the extent to which students demonstrate desired learning outcomes. Several methods should be used to assess student learning outcomes. See the Assessment Methods Table in the following link

Which methods can be used to access students during assessment for learning?

Lwazi Sibanda : From my point of view, I prefer more on blended learning due to multi methods that can access students according to their level of understanding. Nowadays there're lots of free apps and tools to explore such as padlet, moodle, comix and slideshare.net which can beat the collaboration among them. Teacher as facilitator by their side can let them enhance themselves in terms of enduring the assessment with their creative mind,

Thank you so much Sharul for such an informative response.

Thank you Thomas for such a good answer and quite helpful link.

All previous answers to this important topic are useful.

Overall there is formal assessment, just like tests, essays, reports.

There is also informal, such as portfolia, discussion, self-reflection.

Both are necessary in different cases.

Thank you so much for informative answers, they are helping me quite a lot

Estimada Lwazi:

Existen varias técnicas: evaluación formativa, evaluación auténtica, autoevaluación.

Which assessment method should be used for assessment?

Each program will select the assessment methods that will provide the most useful and relevant information for the purposes that the program and its faculty have identified. When selecting which assessment methods to use, consider what questions need to be answered, the availability of resources, and the usefulness of the results. Programs may find it valuable to identify what information currently exists in the program that can be utilized as well as what assessment methods have been used for past assessments.

Lwazi Sibanda For me, given the the nature of what is being assessed regardless of the tools for as long as I measure what is exactly to be measured. This perhaps is a call for creative and innovative assessments for learning that a teacher can design for his or her target classes based on specific purposes.

Thank you so much for informative contribution Reynold.

As addition to the given answers, assessment methods should consider the toxonomy level that we want to assess or measure, depending on the learning outcomes.

Nice Dear Reynold Padagas

Drilling, either questions or explaination among students. This will energize their mood to focus and analyze their own knowledge, tq

Thank you Sharul, quite informative

Assessment for learning means when assess the progress of our students at high school level. For this purpose we must try to get individual attention on each student. we must have to involve our students in our teaching. more and more participation of our students his must. It will help us to assess their progress and can have the knowledge about their learning difficulties.
