Assessment for Learning
Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow Concept
• Perceived challenges, or opportunities for
Action, that stretch (neither overmatching nor underutilizing) existing skills, a sense that one is engaging challenges at a level appropriate to ones’ capacities
•Clear proximal goals and
immediate feedback about the progress being made
Vygotsky - ZPD
the distance between the actual developmental level as determined by independent problem solving and the level of potential development as determined through problem solving under adult guidance, or in collaboration with more capable peers[1]
Connectivism
Learning occurs as part of a social network of many diverse connections and ties- Network made possible by various tools and technologies which are not as important as the connections made possible by them.
Black and Wiliam
• Frequent short tests are better than infrequent long ones.
• New learning should be tested within about a week of first exposure.
• Be mindful of the quality of test items and work with other teachers and outside sources to collect good ones.
• Comments alone have more impact on student achievement than comments and grades or grades only.
