Teaching-Learning and Assessment

ICT and Assessment in Learning
Computer based concept mapping with automated scoring can be used for
summative assessment of critical and creative thinking about complex
relationships.
The use of ICT can help teachers by storing and recording information about
how students are developing understanding of new material; and by taking
over some of the role of assessing and providing feedback to students so
that teachers can focus on other aspects of supporting learning.
Feedback from the computer during the use of test material improves
student performance in later use of the same test material.
Several studies showed that interacting with a computer provides feedback
that supports better performance even if this only reflects back to the
students the moves and links they made in a visual representation of
relationships.
For developing countries ICTs have the potential for increasing access
to and improving the relevance and quality of education. It thus
represents a potentially equalizing strategy for developing countries.
However, the reality of the Digital Divide—the gap between those
who have access to and control of technology and those who do not—
means that the introduction and integration of ICTs at different levels
and in various types of education will be a most challenging
undertaking. Failure to meet the challenge would mean a further
widening of the knowledge gap and the deepening of existing
economic and social inequalities.
Assessment tools are techniques used to measure a student’s
academic abilities, skills, and/or fluency in a given subject or to
measure one’s progress toward academic proficiency in a specific
subject area.
An educational assessment tool is used for evaluating students’
performance and their level of knowledge in a particular subject.
Educational assessment tools can be used during the learning
process or on an ongoing basis.
