of Assessment
1.
Choose 3 quite different methods of assessment.
Assessment Type:
Worksheet assessment
Would this type of assessment be best applied when wanting
to give formative or summative assessment? Can be both.
Why? A worksheet can be given out at any time during a
lesson or term.
Is this type of assessment subjective or objective?
Objective.
Why? Because most the worksheet will have right or wrong
answers.
Could this type of assessment be classed as formal or
informal? Formal.
Why? Because there is a definite score at the end of the
worksheet. The score is formal but can be used informally.

Why? There are many different scenarios and many different
ways to reach a “correct” solution.
Could this type of assessment be classed as formal or
informal? Informal.
Why? The demonstration can give the teacher and learner an
idea of how the learner is doing on the subject.
Could this type of assessment be presented and applied

Assessment Type:
Assessment through Computer games
Would this type of assessment be best applied when wanting

Why? A game can be played at any time but is not really
used to give a mark to someone on a subject.
Is this type of assessment subjective or objective?

done in different ways depending on the situation.

Describe the methods of
assessment to be included in your artefact.
For each one, discuss whether it will be used as summative or formative
assessment, whether it is subjective or objective and how you will implement
and present it online.
Design/illustrations will enhance this.
For my artefact I will use Quizzes to give direct questions
to the learners and possibly some interactive games within PowerPoints that I
will use to teach.
The quizzes will be a form of Summative assessment as the
quizzes will be given at the end of a topic to see how much the learner
understands about the topics. It will be Objective as quizzes are mainly in
this format with only one correct answer in the questions. The results of the
quizzes will be Formal but given in a more Informal way to give encouragement
to the young learner.
For the interactive games within PowerPoints it will be a
Formative assessment as it will be given at during the lesson. It is possible
that this will have a mix of both objective and subjective assessments with the
questions. And the results will be Informal as it is seeing how the learner are
doing on the topic.
