Formative Assessment in Affective Areas 20 & 21 November 2013 (2-day workshop) This November, Dr Ong is presenting the above new workshop in an area of need for teachers. Current trends in assessment focus on judging students’ learning progress - not just how well they perform in the traditional summative evaluations. Assessment of students on how well they progress along the learning journey is a perspective that is underpinned by the belief that learning should be developed and assessed through various forms of formative assessment for learning and assessment of learning. Assessment in the affective areas poses a challenge to many teachers - how do they know that their students have learnt and are growing in the affective domain? Workshop Details Objective This workshop addresses the question: How do I know that my students are achieving the desired affective outcomes and making progress in the affective domain of holistic development? Participants will learn to implement formative assessments of students’ affective learning such as in the learning of values, character, etc. The workshop will provide hands on opportunities for participants to work in their content areas to devise formative assessment strategies and construct rubrics for a range of affective learning outcomes For whom? All teachers who are want to know how to help their students develop affective learning and assess the extent of their learning progress in the affective areas.
