 Criticism 

 "... Within a formal education setting, a 1994 study found that students were more responsive to feedback from a teacher than they were to peer feedback. However, another later study showed that training in assessment techniques had a positive impact on individual student performance."

Training in assessment techniques encompasses various methods to evaluate learning and performance. It aims to ensure that assessments are effective and fairly, providing valuable feedback for both learners and instructors. These techniques can be broadly categorized into formative and summative assessment, with different approaches for different purposes. 

Key Aspects of Assessment Techniques Training:

Types of Assessments:

• • Formative Assessment: Ongoing assessment used to guide learning and provide feedback during the training process. 
  • Summative Assessment: Evaluates learning outcomes at the end of a training program or unit, often used for grading or certification. 
  • Authentic Assessment: Evaluates learning through real-world tasks and scenarios, reflecting how knowledge and skills are used in practice. 
  • Rubrics: Detailed scoring guides that define criteria for evaluating performance. 
  • Observation: Directly observing learners performing tasks or demonstrating skills. 
  • Self-assessment: Learners evaluating their own performance against pre-defined criteria.

 Authentic Assessment Examples

1. Creating models: A physics teacher has students work in teams to design and construct a paper bridge and then see how much weight it can support.
2. Using scenarios from the workforce: The final exam in a radiology course involves students being given a set of 5 X-rays that they have to sort in terms of priority of treatment.
3. Engaging with the profession: A business administration professor may require students to construct their own employee satisfaction survey, collect data, and produce 3 graphs that display the key findings.
4. Pitching ideas to professionals: Advertising majors are required to design a comprehensive ad campaign for the product of their choice and then pitch it to a small group of faculty.  
5. Demonstrating practical skills: Music majors are required to give a recital at the end of the course as part of their final exam.
6. Engaging in mock-up scenarios: Students in a criminology course are taken to a mock crime scene and tasked with looking for clues and formulating an initial theory of what happened.
7. Creating reports on real life scenarios: Students in a home economics course make a comprehensive budget for a middle-class family of five that includes all utility bills, insurance fees and taxes, and disposable income allocations.
8. Creating a valuable program or app: Computer science majors are given a specific period of time to program a cyber-security firewall that can stop at least 3 out of 5 viruses set to attack their computer.
9. Collecting samples from the field: Biology students are sent into the field where they must collect three soil samples at different locations on a farm and then analyze the nitrate and phosphorous levels of each sample.
10. Getting real customers: Instead of just creating a business plan, going the next step and creating the business and getting real customers, then being assessed on implementation rather than just planning.

• Assessment Strategies:

  • Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs): A wide range of techniques used to assess student understanding and learning in real-time, such as "think-pair-share," "exit tickets," and "one-minute essays". 
  • Peer Assessment: Students assess each other's work, providing feedback and learning opportunities. 

  Peer assessment is a method where students evaluate each other's work, offering feedback and, sometimes, assigning grades.
