Outcomes
On completion of this module participants will be able to:
• compare assessment 'for' learning, 'of' learning and 'as' learning
• compare the purposes of diagnostic, formative and summative assessment processes
• describe examples of assessment processes appropriate to each of the 5Es phases and embedded in PrimaryConnections curriculum units
• describe appropriate questioning techniques for diagnostic, formative and summative assessment processes in PrimaryConnections.

Assessment ‘for’ learning
Gathering information about the gap between where the student is and needs to be.
Students learn best when they:• understand clearly what they are trying to learn and what is expected of them• are given feedback about the quality of their work• are given advice on how to make improvements• are fully involved in deciding what needs to be done next and who can help if needed.
7 7
Assessment ‘of’ learning
Gathering and working with evidence to enable teachers and the wider assessment community to evaluate students’ progress.
Judgements about the extent and quality of student learning need to be:
• based on sound criteria negotiated with and known to students
• reliable and accurate.
8 8
Assessment ‘as’ learning
Reflecting on evidence of learning and the processes of learning.
Reflecting on the learning process helps students focus on:
• what they have learned
• how they have learned
• what processes help them to learn.

The PrimaryConnections 5Es teaching and learning model uses ongoing and embedded assessment to enhance teaching and learning.
Ongoing and embedded assessment
PHASE FOCUS
ENGAGEEngage students and elicit prior knowledge
Diagnostic assessment
EXPLOREProvide hands-on experience of the phenomenon
Formative assessment
EXPLAIN
Develop scientific explanations for observations and represent developing
conceptual understanding
Consider current scientific explanations
Formative assessment
ELABORATEExtend understanding to a new context or make connections to additional
concepts through a student-planned investigation
Summative assessment of the investigating outcomes
EVALUATEStudents re-represent their understanding and reflect on their learning
journey and teachers collect evidence about the achievement of outcomes
Summative assessment of the conceptual outcomes

‘More effort has to be spent in framing questions that are worth asking: that is, questions which explore issues that are critical to the development of children’s understanding.’

Questioning and the 5Es model
• ENGAGE: Broad questions that encourage students to discuss their ideas and
experiences
• EXPLORE: Questions that encourage students to discuss their ideas and to
express common experiences
• EXPLAIN: Focused questions that reinforce the explanations of the concepts
• ELABORATE: Questions that help students understand the concept in a new
situation
• EVALUATE: Questions that assess students’ understanding.
