      Experience tells me that the motivated students will help develop the assessment process. You have to make sure there is accountabliity for all students involved
  • • When operating successfully can reduce a lecturer's marking load

      This is a true positive of peer assessment. A lot of the work gets done before the teacher looks over the product. I have seen some teachers use peer assessment as a replacement for their own grading process.
  • each group member completes an evaluation on his or her team members which is then submitted to the instructor. The instructor usually takes the average of the peer evaluations, and shares this grade with each team member which serves as the student’s grade in the peer evaluation portion.

      I like this idea, it most likely gives the most accurate assessment of a group member's contribution to the process. It also most likely provides motivation for the individuals to contribute.

  • Goal setting is essential because students can evaluate their progress more clearly when they have targets against which to measure their performance. In addition, students' motivation to learn increases when they have self-defined, and therefore relevant, learning goals.

      The goal setting process is important but I think wrongly implemented at times. Teachers have to make sure their students know how to write a good goal and you have to follow through and assess progress toward the goal. Good idea to model the goal writing process

      This is where teachers get to use their covert,'sneaky' skills. They have to figure out how to get the information necessary to assess where the students are while appearing to go about their usual daily business. You have to be able to track that info too, which can be hard if you are collecting data on the sly.

      This definition will be my baseline for the remainder of the article. Anybody have a different definition
  • “scaffolding

      Side bar here, I never really know what this means, I hear it bandied about by administrators and Curriculum Directors but have never really had it explained. Feel free to enlighten me

      Can't hit the target if you don't know what your are aiming at. I think a rubric has to show what you want out of student performance, the rubric is a road map
  • The argument against using rubrics While many educators make a compelling argument for sharing rubrics with students, others worry that doing so will encourage formulaic writing.
    • Dan Jones
      Dan Jones on 30 Jan 14
       
      Is formulaic always a bad thing. If the rubric allows the student to respond adequately, even if formulaic, is it a bad thing? I don't think you have to use a rubric for everything but when used, it should provide a clear path for the students.
  • t rubrics should be used in conjunction with other strategies,
    • Dan Jones
      Dan Jones on 30 Jan 14
       
      I think this is how I would incorporate rubrics, they would be used with other forms of assessment and not be the sole basis of assessment. I just wanted to respond to comments in article that suggest rubrics lead to "wooden" responses. If all you use is a rubric, then students will adapt and write in that fashion. Mix it up a little and allow students to keep their creativity
  • we need a meta-rubric to assess our rubric
    • Dan Jones
      Dan Jones on 30 Jan 14
       
      It is getting very deep or very scientific here. I am not qualified to be in the business of creating a rubric to assess a rubric I have created. I would like to know how to consistently make a good rubric for any task/project/thing I am assessing

  • considered questioning the accuracy of these tests
    • Dan Jones
      Dan Jones on 20 Jan 14
       
      I create very few tests as I am in special education at the high school level. I am most often proctoring, administering or trying to interpret test results. I actually find myself questioning the accuracy of tests more often than you would think. The students are often asking me what a particular question means. Without giving any clue to the answer, I find myself trying to clarify when I am asking the same question. The way tests are framed and questions are asked can affect the accuracy of tests. I think creating a test that provides accurate results is an incredibly hard task. Kudos to those that are good at it, we need more of you
