MODULE 2: ASSESSMENT OF CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES
The learning objectives of the module :
(1) Assessment-identify the strength and weakness of a learner
(2) Plan the instruction to suit the child with learning disabilities

(5) Do projects on development and administration of teacher made tests.
class by SUDHEER K V
explanation :the strength and weakness of a learner- the three domains of learning- COGNITIVE - intelligence -ഭൗതികം,ബുദ്ധിപരവും -calculations / AFFECTIVE - feelings വൈ കാരികം / PSYCHO MOTOR - body movements-ശരീരിക ചലനങ്ങൾ -craft ,drawing pic,finger skills
THE PURPOSE OF ASSESSMENT-
-- screening,diagnosis,monitoring and measurement of student outcomes.
-- various types of assessment - FORMAL / INFORMAL
FORMAL ASSESSMENT - commercially developed tests
INFORMAL MEASURES - teacher made tests ,portfolios,checklists
Formal assessment is preferred here.
what is assessment ? It is the systematic process of collecting data that can be used to make decisions about children
The Purpose of Initial Evaluation-
(1) to determine whether the child comes under the purview of RPwD ACT 2016
(2) to gather information about the child"s educational needs.
(3) to guide to the appropriate educational program to support the child.
Procedures of assessment of LD
CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT IS IMPORTANT
*parental consent and preparation for interview
* gathering information from teachers / school psychologists
* examining the notebooks of the child and exam papers
* interview with the child
* observation of behaviour of the child in school setting
*collection of data through a variety of approaches
* review of previous grades
* testing ( 2 types )-
(1). criterion reference tests
eg - dictation and grading as excellent---average etc.., helps to identify social skills,the absence of efficient ,cohesive strategies-tests cognitive behavioural disabilities-
(2.) Norm reference tests-
no particular criteria; the test score of the child compared with the norm group to find out whether the child is performing at the average level,or above/below of his intelligence level-(drawback- norms vary in different societies)
examples- assignments to test academic issues- grades getting down- observing the fluctuations in grade upward or downward) - checking for biological problems( may be factors relating to multiple intelligence; may be kinesthetic )-a kind of data study process required-
[self note : major components of the tests for L D (1) testing for potential (2) testing processing abilities and comparing to those of peers]
informal and formal assessment
informal assessment
classroom leaning and the assessment following it
eg- teacher tests ,notebook ,checking and so on
continuous evaluation of reading and writing
formal assessment
- pre planned ,systematic attempt,
- tests the achievement of learning objectives
- measures how far the leaner has not achieved and tries to diagnose
-uses scientific standardised tests and analyses eg ( Nimhan's Grade level tests )
-done by an expert with psychological knowledge and license
AFTERNOON SESSION
Student Portfolio
A kind of assessment of learning progress over a time- students current best work-comparison of the best work to past work-development of self assessment skills - development of reflective learning- rates individual level and pace of work - evidence of learning to parents and others-amount of teacher student collaboration involved.
TYPES OF ASSESSMENT
(1) .Alternate Assessment
(2) .Authentic Assessment
(3) .Student Portfolio Assessment
(4) .Formative Assessment ( Continuous Evaluation) three rs
(5) .Summative Assessment ( Term end evaluation )
[A Discussion of ADHD: inattention + hyperactivity +impulsivity; cognitive or nurological disorder may hinder development
Impulsivity can not be disorder if learning takes place at the same time.Spot decision is not suggested.must resort to formal assessment.]
formative assessment means continuous evaluation.
purposes
* to provide feedback for teachers to modify subsequent learning activities and experiences
( is the teacher on he right track ? )
*to identify and remediate group or individual deficiencies
*to move focus away from achieving grades and onto learning process,in order to increase self effficacy(the ability to produce a desired or intended result.) and reduce the negative impact of extrinsic motivation(Extrinsic motivation refers to behavior that is driven by external rewards such as money, fame, grades, and praise.)
* to improve students' metacognitive awareness of how they learn.(Metacognition is "cognition about cognition", "thinking about thinking", "knowing about knowing", becoming "aware of one's awareness" and higher-order thinking skills. The term comes from the root word meta, meaning "beyond", or "on top of".)
* frequent ongoing assessment allows both for fine tuning of instruction and student focus on progress.( more on module-2 page 12 )
Benefits of CCE
(1) It is continuous and comprehensive.
(2) involves scholastic (പാഠ്യ പ്രവർത്തന ങ്ങൾ) and non scholastic areas( പാ ഠ്യേതര പ്രവർത്തന ങ്ങൾ)
(3 ) facilitates systematic correctional measures
to be continued in 2 more sessions.....
instructions by camp coordinator
(1) Assignment one to be submitted in the next class.
(2) We have to plan camps in primary schools to devise and administer individual education plans for the children with learning disabilities.
(3) Four groups of 10 members each will have to conduct these camps in four different schools.
(4) The job is to assess the LDs in the children with learning issues-not remediation.
(5) A half day camp is to be planned and conducted in January 2020.
(6) Classes will be held on Dec 8 ,Dec 14 and Dec 22 .No classes during XMAS vacation.
(7) A study trip to a special school at Coimbatore is being planned during the last week of January next year.
