| contents | The Case against Grades Kohn, Alfie Evaluation Methods Student Evaluation Grades (Scholastic) Tests Alternative Assessment Grading Student Motivation Academic Achievement Curriculum Performance Based Assessment Enough has been written about academic assessment to fill a library, but when one thinks about it, the whole enterprise really amounts to a straightforward two-step dance. Collect information about how students are doing, then share that information with the students and their parents. Gather and report--that's pretty much it. Collecting information doesn't require tests, and sharing that information doesn't require grades. In fact, students would be a lot better off without either of these relics from a less enlightened age. Why tests are not a particularly useful way to assess student learning, and what thoughtful educators do instead, are questions that must wait. In this article, the author takes a hard look at the second practice, the use of letters or numbers as evaluative summaries of how well students have done. |
