Презентация на тему Diagnostics of teaching

the classroom and in providing motivating activities for students,

we believe that they should then aspire to reach the next level: diagnostic teaching.
Diagnostic teaching reflects the dual purposes for which the procedure is used:
Diagnostic – allows the collection of additional information in order clarify and test hypothesis about what the reader needs.
Instruction – provides opportunities to try out methods for working with a student.

to attain lasting improvement of instruction. This process consists

of four phases: determining individual needs, selecting goals, prescribing and guiding learning experiences, evaluation.
Diagnostic teaching is a method that integrates assessment and instruction. The process of diagnostic teaching can be described in terms of three related tasks: a) planning b) executing c) evaluating

curriculum, pedagogy and assessment cycle.  It involves collecting evidence

about student learning, interpreting information and making judgments about students’ performance with a view to providing feedback to students, teachers, schools, parents, other stakeholders and to the education system

be summarized as follows:
For students to
understand the learning objectives

from a different perspective and how well they are progressing towards their objectives;
understand what they need to improve on the next stage of learning; and understand their strengths and weaknesses in learning and how to take steps to improve and to self-regulate their work.
For teachers and schools to
understand the strengths and weaknesses of students in learning;
recognize the effectiveness of learning and teaching practices and make adjustment to their teaching;
monitor the standards and quality of the education they are providing and guide students towards appropriate future learning.

the assessment data to identify strengths and weaknesses in

student performance, and to improve the quality of teaching and learning.
- Assessment is the process of gathering data
3 types of assessments:
diagnostic, formative, and summative

process, while learning is taking place, and while
learning is

occurring. Formative assessment is the act of
collecting evidence of student learning (e.g. classroom
observation, class activities, homework, quizzes) and providing
feedback to promote better learning.
Types of Formative Assessment
 Observations during in-class activities; of students non-verbal feedback during lecture
 Homework exercises as review for exams and class discussions)
 Reflections journals that are reviewed periodically during the semester
 Question and answer sessions, both formal—planned and informal—spontaneous
 Conferences between the instructor and student at various points in the semester
 In-class activities where students informally present their results
 Student feedback collected by periodically answering specific question about the instruction and their self-evaluation of performance and progress

been
completed and provides information and feedback that sums up

the
teaching and learning process. Summative assessment is usually
carried out at the end of a teaching unit/ school term/ school year in
order to sum up what students have learnt (e.g. end-of-unit test/ task).
Types of Summative Assessment
 Examinations (major, high-stakes exams)
 Final examination (a truly summative assessment)
 Term papers (drafts submitted throughout the semester would be a formative assessment)
 Projects (project phases submitted at various completion points could be formatively assessed)
 Portfolios (could also be assessed during it’s development as a formative assessment)
 Performances
 Student evaluation of the course (teaching effectiveness)
 Instructor self-evaluation

to clarify misconceptions before teaching takes place.
Knowing students’ strengths and weaknesses can help you better
plan what to teach and how to teach it.
Types of Diagnostic Assessments
 Pre-tests (on content and abilities)
 Self-assessments (identifying skills and competencies)
 Discussion board responses (on content-specific prompts)
 Interviews (brief, private, 10-minute interview of each student)
Like formative assessment, diagnostic assessment is intended to
improve the learner’s experience and their level of achievement

tests

given some teaching in an unfamiliar topic or field. 

An example might be assessment of how much Swedish is learnt in a short block of teaching to students who have no prior knowledge of the language. One purpose of dynamic assessment is to determine if a student has the potential to learn a new skill. Assess child's current performance

Dynamic assessment generally uses a repetitive process of pretest-teach-retest. A pretest is given to discover what information the student already knows. A teaching time on the unknown material follows the pretest, and then another similar test is given.

more modules of undergraduate study into a single assessment.

The word ‘synoptic’ means ‘viewing together’. Such an assessment may help students to make connections between modules, increase the level of student engagement and provide teaching staff with the opportunity to adopt a holistic approach to delivering modules. The general aim of a synoptic assessment is the “undoing” of the increasing modularization of the curriculum. The importance of the process of learning as distinct from the outcome of learning is given more attention within this model. 

Synoptic assessment – is a form of assessment which requires a learner to demonstrate that they can identify an use skills, techniques, concepts, theories and knowledge across a whole vocational area

judgements of whether or not a specific criterion has been met.
Reliability and validity should be assured through processes such
as moderation, trial marking, and the collation of exemplars.

the form
of oral advice or written comments, and may be incorporated in
reports or portfolios. Feedback does not mean “praise” or “blame”
and it is not the same as “guidance”. It should provide information
on students’ performance with regard to the expected learning
outcomes and enable students to take action to close any gap
between their performance and the outcomes.
