What are Student Assessments?
An effective assessment tool allows learners to demonstrate their skills and knowledge according to set learning objectives.
It is necessary to assess students’ progress and understanding of concepts. To do this, trainers and assessors rely on both formative and summative assessments.
Formative assessments are used during the learning, whereas summative assessments are used at the end of the learning journey.
Formative assessments provide feedback on students’ progress in their learning process, whereas summative assessment is meant to measure their mastery of the content and also to demonstrate their competency in a training product. They can be given through online portals (learning management systems) or in-person training sessions. The formative assessments can include quizzes, homework, tests and interactive class activities. The summative assessment tools can include knowledge-based questions, projects, practical observations, portfolios and so on.
The need for an assessment tool is to assess all the knowledge and information that students should have learned from the course.
How are we changing our student assessments?
We continuously update our learner and assessment resources to ensure we stay up to date and current with all the changes happening in the VET industry and RTO sector. Therefore, we have recently updated a number of our assessment resources to include the following:
- A new user-friendly template that is comprehensively redesigned
- A separate unit requirements tool to capture all training package requirements
- Detailed benchmarking of projects and skill tests
- Comprehensive mapping document showing how the training package criteria has been addressed
We have systematically and compressively updated all our assessment and training resources.
