Thrive 47 - Assessment literacy vs Feedback Literacy - What is the difference?

Conceptualisations of assessment literacy (Smith et al. 2013; Winstone, Nash, Parker, et al. 2017)

Conceptualisations of feedback literacy (Carless and Boud, 2018)

The part is the cultural shift that the school need to have to address the issue of school assessment illiterate among students who were stressed out with examination and the misconception of higher stake exam due to higher weightage of EOY exam.

The assessment objectives of the EOY exam should be given upfront together with the assessment plan and the assessment objective should not change if the syllabus did not change.

The so-called "topic" for the exam can be given at the teacher level depending on the student's readiness for the examinations. While the cognitive demand of the topic does not change, the scope (content) could. This is a shift from focusing on the content to the skills test that still requires knowledge of the content. Scoping the content help manage students' assessment load.

You see what we draw so we can improve our drawing - use a pen not pencil. In my research in 2018, it appears that student improves their sketching faster when they sketch with a pen. Why? they can't erase. They dare to explore  (1) Diagnostic assessment of sketching. Students at this age can identify if their observation sketch is accurate. When they are directed to evaluate their first attempt of sketching from observation using rules (isometric or perspective rule). All followed my instructions to improve. However, a 3 uses correction ta...

My reflection with AI about the STEM project

 I have just completed a STEM workshop with my students. I would like to reflect about this workshop to any of you. ChatGPT That sounds great, Joon Yong! How did the workshop go? What activities did you and your students work on, and what were some key moments or challenges you encountered? 4o We are working on building a chair using a cardboard. The requirement is to be able to withstand three kilos of weight, and also have a leg that is 15 cm long. However, based on my knowledge about knowledge building, I decided for them to make a wheelchair that the humans can sit on. ChatGPT It sounds like you extended the challenge to make it more engaging and relevant. How did your students respond to the new requirement of designing a wheelchair? Did they come up with any innovative ideas or encounter any specific difficulties? 4o Indeed, the outcome surprises us. Everyone is game to attempt, and all the groups have come up with a real-size chat at the end of the day. ChatGPT That's impres...
