Course description

Since there can be no learning without assessment: this course will help teachers to understand assessment from the viewpoint of education and competencies. Competent assessment means that the assessment is part of the teaching and learning process and its aim is to assist the student body to know their real learning level: their levels of comprehension and skills. We assess so that pupils may learn more and better. This new approach to assessment requires a variety of tools and helps to gain an understanding of mistakes as a source for learning and to view the development of pupils from a mindset focussed on growth.

Objectives

Deepening the understanding and significance of a competent educational assessment to achieve inclusive education.
Viewing assessment as a learning tool.
Exploring more fully the assessment of skills within the LOMLOE framework.
Becoming skilled in the use of different tools and instruments for carrying out successful assessment processes.
