Assessment Theory and Practice

http://golddust.bdplearning.com/assessment_for_learning/assessment_theory_and_practice.php
Assessment for learning should be part of effective planning of teaching and learning.


“A teacher's planning should provide opportunities for both learner and teacher to obtain and use information about progress towards learning goals. It also has to be flexible to respond to initial and emerging ideas and skills. Planning should include strategies to ensure that learners understand the goals they are pursuing and the criteria that will be applied in assessing their work. How learners will receive feedback, how they will take part in assessing their learning and how they will be helped to make further progress should also be planned.”
