The 02.10 Discussion-Based Assessment

understand in this lesson. In the next session we go back to the board and re-cap on to check their understanding about what they said.

In my point of view assessment is a testing tool by which a teacher or assessor can use to detect the outcomes of teaching, learning or assessment process with the learners by

Questioning is a method of testing knowledge by asking the learner a series of questions related to the performance criteria. It is important that the assessor plans the questions beforehand, ensuring that open questions are used, and identifies the means of recording them, whether it be written; voice recorded or videoed. Questioning can be a very useful assessment method used alongside other methods. With observation, in particular, ‘what if’ questions can be used for evidence that might be hard to obtain, for example.

> Think about any vacation or any place that you visited in the past. Let me know the name of the place and 3 things that happened. also review the following questions.

In Honors English (3rd and 5th), ask students to turn in yesterday’s assignment. They have a test on “A Problem” today, so they should log into their pearson accounts online and take the test. I will check their scores and put them in Skyward asap. Once their test is finished please have them read pages 78-79 in the literature book. Their assignment is to read “Like the Sun” (pgs 80-84) and “The Open Window” (pgs 85-88). They should be looking for instances of paradoxes and irony during each reading. They need to complete the critical thinking questions on pages 84 and 88.

This study guide prepares you for the Final Examination you complete in the last week of the course. It contains practice questions, which are related to each week’s objectives. Highlight the correct response, and then refer to the answer key at the end of this Study Guide to check your answers.

Reading Assignment: I completed all readings & note taking on Saturday 24 February 2018, 8:00 AM. (12 Hours)

Explain the purpose and benefits of letting other people know work plans need to be changed

The roles of the assessor may not be strictly that of a teacher but more of a mentor guiding a Learner to there eventual goal of gaining the qualification by giving appropriate feedback.

Hospitals started to be penalized by CMS in 2012 for high readmission rates that could add up to one percent of what Medicare paid the hospital. This affected two thirds of all hospitals in the United States. Now, the penalty has gone from one percent to three percent. The purpose was to increase the focus on the discharge process that will lead to better outcomes with a decrease in readmissions (Polster, 2015). The purpose of this post is to discuss two learning objectives that Tina would be able to meet at the end of receiving discharge instruction. With each objective, this post will discuss the content of instruction, method of instruction, rationale for the chosen method, the time allotted for the task, resources needed, evaluation method, evaluation criteria, what specific criteria needs to be achieved for the objective to be met, potential barriers and a plan to deal with these barriers.

1.1 Assessment measures the learner’s progress towards or the completion of, the learning aim and criteria, and can be used at any point during the learning cycle. It can provide information to adapt the delivery to suit the learner’s needs and abilities; a learner may need more help or time on some aspects, or has progressed quicker than planned and requires additional goals. By standardising the assessment process this creates uniformity for all learners.

This study guide will prepare you for the Final Examination you will complete in Week Six. It contains practice questions, which are related to each week’s objectives. In addition, refer to each week’s readings and your student guide as study references for the Final Examination.

Indirect assessments involve the gathering of information from the individual or those close to them through the utilization of structured interviews, rating scales, checklists, or questionnaires (Cooper et al., 2007). The objective of the indirect assessment is to clearly identify the behavior; under what circumstances it is most likely to occur; what the individual gains from engaging in the behavior; what interventions, if any, have been utilized previously; and what antecedents, both immediate and more distant motivating operations, occur prior to the display of the behavior. Further, when conducting the indirect assessment, concerns regarding medical or psychological issues may present which may require further investigation or referrals prior to initiation of services and may influence the course or need for treatment. Through the gathering of this information a tentative hypothesis concerning the contingencies that

Evidence needs to be authentic and actually related to the performance of the learner being assessed and not that of another learner instead.

I do have some questions for you regarding the proposal for the final paper. The content in the final paper might overlap with the capstone project that I will be working next semester. The final paper proposal and capstone project might be related to function-based cognitive assessments. I am still working with Dr. Yda to finalize the topic for the capstone project and I wanted to check with you if it's okay that they overlap.
