Assessment Defined
Assessment is the systematic
collection, review, and use of
information about educational
programs undertaken for the purpose
of improving student learning and
development.
Learner-Centered Assessment on College Campuses:
shifting the focus from teaching to learning
(Huba and Freed 2000)

Assessment Defined
Assessment is the process of gathering and
discussing information from multiple and
diverse sources in order to develop a deep
understanding of what students know,
understand, and can do with their knowledge
as a result of their educational experiences; the
process culminates when assessment results are
used to improve subsequent learning.
University of Oregon, Teaching Effectiveness Program (2008)

Assessment Defined
Assessment of student learning is a participatory
and interative process that:
Provides data/information needed on students learning
Engages the teacher and others in analyzing and using this
data/information to confirm and improve teaching and
learning
Produces evidence that students are learning the outcomes
intended
Guides in making educational and institutional
improvements.
Evaluates whether changes made improve/impact student
learning, and documents the learning and teachers efforts.
The Higher Learning Commission , 2013

Changes in classroom assessment


Classroom assessment practices are
deeply rooted in societal expectations
Graduates are expected to be proficient in
complex critical thinking, problem solving and
effective communication
Learning as a process of constructing
understanding
Students become highly motivated when they
experience progress and achievement, rather
than being compared to their peers

Changes in classroom assessment

Classroom assessment plays a


major role in how students learn,
their motivation to learn and how
teachers teach

Changes in classroom assessment

Identifying the purpose of any


classroom assessment is critical
for it to be productive and efficient
