Evaluation
collecting information, including data obtained from testing and assessment, and interpreting that information in order to make decisions. (Brindley 2003). Figure 1: Relationship and purposes of evaluation, assessment and testing Assessment is formative when it takes place while the course or program is in progress. The information collected can help to shape what happens in the classroom and have a positive effect on learners’ ongoing development. It is summative when it takes place at the end of a unit of instruction, a course or program and provides information about the learners’ achievement. Evaluation of a course or program should be both formative and summative so that, based on formative data, the course or program itself can be adapted as it is in progress. Characteristics of effective classroom assessment Valid The assessment assesses what it is intended to assess; for example, an assessment that is intended to assess oral proficiency must involve learners speaking the language. Using a written format is not valid because a person’s ability to write does not provide information about his or her speaking ability. Geared to learning targets Instruction is geared toward learning targets: assessment is aimed at finding out how well the learners are achieving the targets. The learning targets address the competences
Evaluation Purpose: to collect information about a particular course or program in order to evaluate its effectiveness and make decisions about it
Assessment Purpose: to collect and interpret information over time about students’ abilities and knowledge in order to help them improve
Testing Purpose: to measure a specific set of behaviors or skills at one point in time

Objectives
• Measure – Get objective information about learners’ performance (students take a reading test).
• Assess – Analyze and interpret information about a learner’s performance (teacher corrects the reading test, analyzes which questions were difficult for learners, how different learners performed and how the whole class performed).
• Evaluate – Make decisions based on information about a learner’s performance (teacher gives learners a grade based on their performance on the reading test).
. What is the purpose of assessment?
• Diagnostic assessment :• Done before the teaching process begins, at
the beginning of an academic year or unit of study.
– Diagnostic assessment helps teachers prepare to teach a group of students.
Formative assessment Formative assessment
• Done during the teaching process,• to see if the instructional techniques are
effective.
Summative assessment Summative assessment
• Done after the teaching process, to see what students have learned.
• Learners are usually evaluated on summative assessment results.
Assessment vs testingAssessment vs testing
• Bob Adamson argued that “testing does not equate with the assessment.”
• Testing is apart of the assessment, but it is only
one means of gathering information about a student.
• The focus in testing is on finding the norm.
• Assessment is broader than testing.
• It implies evaluation based on a
collection of information about
what students know and can do.
• The teacher is looking for progress over time in a variety of contexts.
Good evaluation can motivate learners to study.
Poor or unfair evaluation techniques may
make learners less motivated to study.
The word assess
comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere’
meaning ‘to sit with’.
In assessment one is supposed to sit with
the learner.
This implies it is something we do with and
for students and not to students.

What is formative assessment ?• If we think of our children as plants …• Summative assessment of the plants is
the process of simply measuring them.• It might be interesting to compare and
analyze measurements but, in themselves, these do not affect the growth of the plants.
• Formative assessment, on the other hand, is the equivalent of feeding and watering the plants appropriate to their needs - directly affecting their growth.
… and a Cooking Analogy
“When the chef tastes the sauce it is formative assessment, when the customer tastes it, it is summative”

Question : why assess ?
We assess to help pupils learn
(formative assessment)
And to judge how much they have learned
(summative assessment)

Assessment for learning is the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go and how best to get there.’
Assessment Reform Group, UK 2002
‘Assessment is formative when the evidence gained is actually used to adapt the teaching to meet the needs of the students.’
(Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam)
