“Strengthening Teacher Capacity in Relation to School and Classroom Based Assessment: Bilkent University UNICEF project”<\/p>\n
Assessment is central to learning as widely accepted by many educators\/researchers. If it takes a formative processes than it creates more opportunities than summative assessment for students to feel included in the classroom during the teaching-learning activities. Black and William (2009) indicated that if formative assessment supported with a pre-assessment based on which teaching is planned it will very much help to improve learning outcomes. However, this process does not provide much help to students learning unless teachers use evidences from the assessment to adapt their teaching to meet students’ needs.<\/p>\n
In light of all these, this presentation aims to give an insight of the project accomplished by Bilkent University Graduate School of Education about school and classroom based assessment (SCBA) in Turkey. The project aimed to achieve the following:
\n\u25cf Strengthen teachers’ capacity to implement classroom and school based assessment;
\n\u25cf Conduct needs analysis in relation to problems\/issues faced by disadvantaged students during the assessment process;
\n\u25cf All students are assessed fairly in regard to their characteristics;
\n\u25cf Improve teachers capacity to develop and implement alternative assessment strategies and tools;
\n\u25cf Develop participated teachers’ (including recruited and novice teachers’) knowledge and skills in conducting formative and summative means of assessment;
\n\u25cf Identify the bottlenecks in current practices of assessment strategies and ensure that some improvements are made in schools;
\n\u25cf Monitor and evaluate the pilot implementation of SCBA program developed.
\n\u25cf Develop a teachers’ guide about SCBA in 10 subject areas.<\/p>\n
The project completed in about 18 months and aims are mostly met.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
