[|A4L in ICT] - a series of blog posts on effective uses of assessment for learning When teachers are asked how they assess their students, they typically talk about tests, examinations, quizzes and other formal methods. When they are asked how they know whether their students have learned what they have taught, the answers are very different. They talk about homework, classwork, the things students say in classroom discussions and even the expressions on their faces. //Ref: ETS Europe Breakfast Seminar: Professor Dylan Wiliam's Speech "Does Assessment Hinder Learning?" - 17/10/2006// For the 60% of studies that found a positive impact on performance, Kluger & DeNisi (1996) found that the biggest impacts occurred when feedback told not just what to do to improve, but also how to go about it. //Kluger, A. N., & DeNisi, A. (1996). The effects of feedback interventions on performance: a historical review, a meta-analysis, and a preliminary feedback intervention theory.
