MODULE 3: ASSESSMENT FOR
QUALITY LEARNING
UNIT 9 STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPING LEARNER CENTERED ASSESSMENT
PRACTICES
Assessing children’s achievements and progress in their studies has taken on a significant focus in recent years so that
much more emphasis is given to the role of assessment as an ongoing part of the daily teaching and learning process.
This unit asks teachers to audit their current assessment practices and provides insight into different ways of finding
out what a child or class knows and understands at different stages of a topic. This will enable the teacher to plan
more effective and targeted lessons. It also discusses the importance of giving feedback to children about their
achievements.
UNIT 10/11 QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES TO PROMOTE FORMATIVE
ASSESSMENT PRACTICE FOR STUDENT LEARNING (DOUBLE TDU)
This unit is a double unit as the questioning as part of the teaching and learning cycle is so important. How, when and
what kinds of questions a teacher uses can have a dramatic impact on the lesson and successful learning out comes
for children. Too many teachers ask closed questions where a child has to just give the correct answer. This unit
explores how by asking more open-end questions a teacher can help children to think more deeply and become more
interested in a range of topics. Children can also be encouraged to ask their own questions about a topic which they
can then try to answer through investigation. Such approaches stimulate much more participation and success in
learning.
