1.traditional assessment is using pencil and paper to do test while alternative assessement use other forms such as requesting students to do a portfolio.
ReplyDelete2. three types of assessments are: diagnostic, self and portfolio
3. (i)the absence of bias does not cause offense to the student based on the topic, gender, issues etc. (ii)the test reflects what has been taught in class- fair.
4. criteron validity measures the mastery of content area while content validity test assesses the students knowledge in the content area.
5. two types of reliability assessments are:formative - during the different testing stages the overall results should be consistent
and authentic - given the same conditions all the time the results should yield the same
1. Traditional assessment has to do with using pencil/pen and paper to do a test. Alternative assessment done in various forms example, crossword puzzle and portfolios.
ReplyDelete2. Three types of assessment are, pre and post test, crossword puzzle and using games such as jeopardy.
3. Absence of bias makes an assessment fair as no student at any point will be cheated of doing their best, and while not affect a students, beliefs.
Fairness - suggest that students will be tested on what was being taught, not including things which were not, also on the basis that they were all treated equally in terms of the teacher ensuring that they receive the content of the lesson.
4. Content validity deals with testing the students in the area that was taught to then
Criterion validity determines how much of the content was mastered by the students.
5. Formative assessment has to deal with consistency in results.

ReplyDelete1) Traditional assessment is any form of test that involves the use of pencil and paper. One example of traditional assessment is multiple choice test. However, alternative assessment involves the use of test instruments that do not require the student to use paper and pencil. As its name suggest it is a different/ form of assessment that the teacher uses creatively to gather information on the students' knowledge. One example of alternative assessment is cross word puzzle.
2) Three types of assessment are authentic, formative and summative.
3)Fairness of a test means that students are tested on what they have been taught. It also means that all students are treated fairly .When a test does not show discrimination then it means that its content does not offend the assessee on the grounds of gender, religion, sex, race et cetera. Simply put, the test is not structured in any way where the assesees are forced to compromise their beliefs and identify by the questions they are asked on the test.
4)Content validity tells us that the test deals with what it is set out to do. That is, the test is connected to the content that is being taught.Criterion validity on the other hand makes prediction on students performance in light of the criteria set out.
5) In order to see if the results from a test is consistent then it is best if ongoing assessment takes place. This ongoing assessment is known as Formative assessment. This type of assessment is reliable as students are assessed more than once. Another reliable type of assessment is the one that encourages natural behaviour. This known as authentic assessment. With authentic assessment students are assessed in real life setting.
Teneica Barnaby's responses:
ReplyDelete1. Traditional assessment is the paper and pencil test, while the alternative are all forms of assessment that is not a paper and pencil test. One example of the paper and pencil test is multiple choice items. One example of an alternative assessment is the portfolio.
2. Three types of assessment are diagnostic, formative and summative.
3.Absence of bias makes an assessment good as students will not be put to any advantage based on gender or age. Fairness makes an assessment good as it looks at the level and abilities of students and assess them according to that.
4. Content validity examines the extent to which a test covers or assesses the information that it was intended to or that was taught. Criterion validity measures how a person performs in relation to different subjects.
5. Two types of reliability evidence is split-half and test-retest. Test retest reliability measures the extent to which the same scores are given on a similar test given at different times, while split half reliability measures how a student performs on a test that is divided in two halves.

ReplyDelete1.Traditional assessment has to do with the traditional mode of assessment which is paper and pencil tests, set by the relevant group or individual and is done within given time. One example is multiple choice questions. Alternative assessment on the other hand is strategies that are different from the usual regular a paper and pencil test. One example is portfolio.
2.Three types of assessments that can be used to asses students are formative, summative and performance.
3.Fairness has to do with the fact that every students should be given an equal opportunity in the exam in terms of the content that was taught so that all students can have the chance of doing their best.
Discrimination has to do with the student’s personal lives and beliefs and as such an assessment should not offend or criticize these beliefs.

5. Two types of reliability evidence are the test – retest method and alternate method. The test retest method is where the same test is given twice within a specific period with aim that students will perform at the same levels in both sittings. The alternate form is where two different types of test are given on the same concept to test if students understand the concept regardless of how the assessment is designed.
