Assignment Report Title - Critical analysis of learning design
Task: Design a 20-30 minute assessment task to gather baseline data on a precisely anticipated group of diverse students (a year level within EC, Primary or Secondary stages of schooling.) Present a detailed and persuasive rationale that justifies the professional decisions made in this design with critical reference to the professional and theoretical literature.
Part 1: Design an Assessment Activity (approx. 2 pages or 1,500 words)
This is not a lesson plan but a detailed description of the activity itself: the ways in which students will engage in it and the teacher will use it to gather a range of data about the students' current levels of learning in a particular area.
Imagine you are undertaking a new topic of learning with your class. You have some understanding of their learning capacities generally, and of their literacy and numeracy levels. You need to understand their various learning level s in the new topic so that your program design will achieve measurable impact on the learning of all students. Create an engaging 'profiling' assessment activity that you would use in the first lesson of this topic to determine their learning levels. The activity may also involve some 'new' learning, but its primary aim is to allow you to gather assessment data.
Evaluate, select and apply suitable assessment and other pedagogical strategies to ensure that the assessment data gathered is fair, reliable and valid, and that students are engaged.
Part 2: Justify your Design Choices (approx. 4 pages or 2,000 words)
Write a coherent and persuasive rationale for your assessment design that identifies the ways in which your design demonstrates your understanding of the philosophical and professional contexts in which it is situated, the principles and practices of planning for learning and assessment, and your capacity to engage in reflective and ethical practice.
Support your claims with reference to the relevant literature relating to core and discipline specific pedagogical issues, policies and practices.
