MEASURING ASSESSMENT

EFFECTIVENESS IN EDUCATION

Well-designed assessments should:

 Provide feedback on students’ knowledge base

 Evaluate student progress

 Motivate performance for both students and teachers

 Help stakeholders in education set standards

One assessment type isn’t necessarily better than others ― they all have unique characteristics and serve different purposes in education.

When choosing the appropriate assessment type, a classroom teacher should consider the learning goals, instructional context, and students’ needs.
