Student Assessment: Practices
Trends
1) As national curricula increasingly emphasise ‘key competencies’ or ‘21st century competencies’ for lifelong learning, countries are seeking to adapt their assessment systems in order to capture such broader types of learning.
2) Research evidence on the benefits of using assessment results to inform teaching and learning has increased policy attention to formative assessment. 18/29 systems have central policy frameworks for formative assessment in place.
3) Summative assessment and reporting remain important at key stages of schooling in all countries. 21/29 systems had policy frameworks for internal summative assessment in place to ensure transparency in marking and reporting.
4) Concerns about the quality of learning and assessment across schools have led to a renewed focus on central standards and large-scale assessments to ensure high standards for all students. 26/37 systems have central standardised examinations in place.
Student Assessment: Analysis
The potential of student assessment
Formative assessment:• Diagnose learning needs and differentiate teaching; • Provide timely feedback to students• Actively engage students in their own learning; strengthen their self-monitoring • Help teachers and students adjust teaching and learning strategies
Summative assessment:
• Signal high standards and expected performance
• Motivate students to increase effort and achievement
• Provide information about performance to students, parents and others
• Certify learning and award qualifications
Student Assessment: Analysis
The challenges of student assessment
• Governance: Lack of alignment between central curricula, standards and assessment approaches; lack of clarity of purposes; tensions between summative and formative functions
• Procedures: Assessment formats tend to remain more traditional than curriculum goals; national assessments focus mostly on literacy and numeracy and predominantly use multiple choice and written tasks; limited use of ICT
• Capacity: Limited focus on students’ own assessment competencies; inadequacies in teachers’ and school leaders’ preparation and training
• Use of results: Parental concerns about inadequate reporting information; lack of transparency when using assessment results for high stakes decisions
Student Assessment: Policy Options
Governance: Establish a coherent framework for student assessment• Balance between formative and summative; internal and external assessment • Based on well-aligned reference documents (curriculum, standards, learning progressions, criteria to judge performance and exemplars illustrating different levels of achievement )• Clarity of purpose
Procedures: Ensure a comprehensive approach to student assessment• Draw on a variety of assessment types to get a rounded picture of student learning• Promote assessment formats that capture valued competencies• Build on innovative approaches to assessment, and tap into the potential of ICT• Provide tools and guidelines to support effective teacher-based assessment
Capacity: Make the assessment framework participatory and build assessment competencies across the system• Build student capacity to engage in their own assessment• Promote teacher professionalism in assessment;• Develop central expertise related to student assessment
Use of results: Ensure assessment is useful and informative• Provide clear reporting guidelines to ensure transparency and fairness in reporting results• Engage parents in education through adequate reporting and communication• Promote regular use of assessment results to foster further learning

Teacher Appraisal: Analysis
The potential of teacher appraisal• Provide feedback to teachers, identify suitable professional development
• Allow teachers to progress in their career and take on new responsibilities based on solid evaluations of their performance
• Allow school leaders to be accountable for the quality of education in every classroom; move on persistently underperforming teachers
Teacher Appraisal: Analysis
The challenges of teacher appraisal• Governance: High stakes teacher appraisal may lead to a climate of stress and anxiety; tensions between professional learning and
accountability function of teacher appraisal
• Procedures: Lack of a professional profile or standards to guide appraisal in some countries; overreliance on one or two sources of information; insufficient guidance for classroom observation; appraisal may increase workload for teachers; inadequate use of student results to evaluate teachers
• Capacity: Limited preparation of teachers to benefit from their appraisal; school leaders insufficiently trained for HR management and appraisal; lack of legitimacy of evaluators
• Use of results: Difficulties in ensuring systematic follow-up with professional development; absence of career opportunities for teachers; controversies around the use of appraisal results for rewards.
Teacher Appraisal: Policy Options
Governance: Establish a coherent framework for teacher appraisal• Consolidate regular developmental appraisal at the school level• Establish periodic career-progression appraisal involving external evaluators • Resolve tensions between the developmental and accountability functions
Procedures: Ensure a comprehensive approach to teacher appraisal • Establish teaching standards to guide teacher appraisal• Use multiple instruments and sources of evidence• Provide support for effective classroom observations • Avoid simplistic use of student assessment results for teacher appraisal
Capacity: Build capacity of both evaluators and evaluatees• Prepare teachers for their role in the appraisal process • Strengthen the capacity of school leaders for teacher appraisal • Ensure that designated evaluators are qualified for their role
Use of results: Feed results into professional development, career advancement and accountability• Ensure that teacher appraisal feeds into professional development and school development • Establish links between teacher appraisal and career advancement decisions• Ensure that underperformance is identified and adequately addressed

School performance measures
School Evaluation: Practices
• External school evaluation is established in the vast majority of OECD countries (Except: FIN, GRC, HUN, ITA, JPN, LUX & MEX)
– Typically devised by central or state authorities and conducted by Education authorities and/or specific bodies (e.g. School Inspectorate, School Review Body)
– Publication of comparative school performance measures• Almost universal focus in national policy to stimulate school
self-evaluation (No requirements in GRC, ITA, MEX and ESP)
– Requirements vary significantly in nature, e.g. conduct self evaluation; produce specific report on school development; account for school quality
– Providing comparative information to schools on performance and other measures
School Evaluation: Analysis - governance
• Fitting school evaluation policies to the wider governance context– Public demands for school performance information– Optimising use of resources for external school evaluation (cycles,
proportionality)
• Articulating external school evaluation and school self-evaluation
• Risks that compliancy dominates school evaluation– Multiple forms of school accountability– Demands for evidence in external evaluation / administrative burden in
schools– Documentation v. classroom observation– Requirements for schools to develop specific reports

Education System Evaluation: Analysis - procedures
• Reference standards may be many– Broad goals for education system; Student learning objectives / standards;
Objectives set for specific education policies– The use of targets for system performance
• E.g. European Union benchmarks• Improvement or decline over time in specific assessments
• Monitoring trends in equity and quality – Availability and reliability of contextual information– Prioritising reliability of national assessments, but validity?
• Multiple choice (27); Closed-format short answer (21); open-ended writing tasks/calculations (17); Performing a task (7); oral elements (6)
• Broader curriculum coverage with sample surveys v full cohort
– Capitalising on technology– Tensions: monitoring trends and holding schools accountable– Specific reviews on aspects of the school system
Education System Evaluation: Analysis - capacity
• Capacity to produce evidence on system performance and use results– The creation of specific bodies– Credibility and objectivity of evidence and reporting underlying policy
development– Capacity to synthesise and disseminate results
• Evaluation capacity at sub-national level may vary significantly– Local monitoring and school use of data
• Aligning goals• Building trust
Education System Evaluation: Analysis – reporting and use of results
• Communicating education system evaluation results clearly and comprehensively– Reporting principles: relevance; credibility; timeliness; accessibility and
interpretability– Avoiding media misinterpretation– Engaging key stakeholders in discussion of results
• Making better use of results in planning and policy development– Too much information! Findings ways to better channel results– Overall summative report on the education system– Political urgency versus availability of broad research base– Research and empirical analysis– Information systems to promote use of results at local levels
Education System Evaluation: Policy Options
Governance: Being systematic and strategic for better informed policy making• Ensure a broad concept of education system evaluation within the E&A framework• Ensure policy making is informed by high-quality measures, but not driven by their availability• Situate education system evaluation in the broader context of public sector performance requirements
Procedures: Developing an approach to learn from a broad evidence base• Develop a national education indicator framework • Design a national strategy to monitor student learning standards• Ensure the collection of: qualitative information; and contextual information to monitor equity• Assure the monitoring of changes over time and progress of particular student cohorts
Capacity: Ensuring continuity and credibility• Establish and secure capacity for education system evaluation• Promote the development of evaluation capacity at the local authority level• Ensure objectivity and credibility in education system evaluation activities
Use of results: Strengthening analysis for system improvement• Strengthen analysis of education system evaluation results for planning and policy development• Communicate key results of education system evaluation to stakeholders• Support feedback for local monitoring
