My learners are age between 16 to 19 years not children.Select an assessment scheme from your own subject area. (My scheme of work is attached below).
Using appropriate assessment terminology and relevant theories, critically evaluate the scheme in terms of:-
• The overall purpose and type of assessment scheme used
• The appropriateness and effectiveness of the assessment methods.
• How assessment is recorded and used to promote learning.
• How inclusivity is maintained within the scheme.
Critically evaluate the effectiveness of the scheme to determine whether it is fit for purpose.
Explain your reasoning and justify any improvements that you would make.
Ensure that you include:-
• A copy of the assessment scheme ( or part of it) as an appendix.
• Relevant references and quotes (Harvard referencing).
Suggested Structure
1. Briefly explain your future teaching context (which is early years/childcare).
2. Select a course or module you have observed or teach on and explain why you are selecting it.
3. Explain what is assessed and how students are assessed on this course e.g. types (criteria based?), form e.g. Diagnostic to formative to summative assessment and methods (Q&As, exam, observation etc.). Explain how feedback is provided.
4. Evaluate the above, are the forms/types/methods appropriate? If yes justify your answer and if not, explain why not. Check it against your professional judgement AND the Race’s fairness in the assessment main principles. Do you feel they promote learning? Justify your answer.
5. Is there any room for improvement? If not why not? If there is and if you had the responsibility to update/ upgrade/devise any new ways of assessing what would you do? Would you change the form? Type? Methods? Justify your answers. If not why not?
6. Describe and evaluate the role of assessment data within the course observed/taught. Do they help towards assessment? How? Why/why not? Are they used effectively to plan the teaching and learning as well as providing essential performance indicators? Are they valid? Please ensure you are critical about the above (balance of arguments etc.)
7. Add a conclusion:- Summarise the main points made,. What have you learnt from this practice wise?
NOTES – Throughout the assignment you will need to show evidence of reading around the topic. Select a few key texts such as Tummons, Armitage etal, Petty and Race and explore what they say about assessment.
