Assessments are an ongoing process. Where are learners going?Where are they now?
-performance tests
Summative assessments: Come after instruction usually are informal and insufficiently documented.
Informal assessments:"On the fly". Do not involve systematic ways t record, analyze or report student responses.
Performance assessments: offers students a wider range of options for communicating what they know.
Performance task useful in assessing the planning and implementing of inquiry procedures in science.
State assessments: designed,administered, and scored outside the specific context of classrooms. Not available to provide formative information.
Preparing students for tests at a specific grade level is not only the responsibility of the teacher they have but the ones they had in earlier grades.
Evaluation is not the same as assessment . -using data in judging students performance -making decisions about learning and instruction.
Standards are the most important element in the science education system because they make explicit the goals around which a system is organized. (Wilson and Berthenthal 2006)
