Got kicked out of class so got the definitions offline.
Authentic assessment is the measurement of
"intellectual accomplishments that are worthwhile, significant, and
meaningful," as contrasted to multiple choice standardized tests.
Authentic assessment can be devised by the teacher, or in collaboration with the
student by engaging student voice.”
Formative assessment, including diagnostic testing, is a
range of formal and informal assessment procedures conducted by teachers during
the learning process in order to modify teaching and learning activities to
improve student attainment.
Summative assessment (or summative evaluation) refers to the
assessment of participants where the focus is on the outcome of a program. This
contrasts with formative assessment, which summarizes the participants'
development at a particular time.
If I had to make an
authentic assessment I would do it for the lesson I did on perimeter and area
for fourth grade. It would be something like giving them a picture with the dimensions
and ask them to find the perimeter and the area and find out why they say it is
what they said it was.
I like that you would relate examples you did in class to make an authentic assessment. That would really help the students understand what is expected of them. Also, I like real world examples because it makes the students relate more personally with the lesson.
ReplyDeleteI saw an authentic assessment done when I was observing where they used Cheese Its. It was pretty interesting and the kids got a kick out of it. I think having things that students relate to and real life scenarios can make assessments more fun.
ReplyDeleteI too thought of how I could utilize my own lesson assessments using authentic assessments. I really feel that authentic assessments make more meaningful outcomes.
ReplyDeleteI loved your first line! In future years people will want to know what you did to get kicked out of class!
