On the Mechanism and Path of Promoting Learning Through Assessment
Currently,the view of promoting learning through assessment is increasingly recognized but learning and assessment are two different activities.To facilitate the promotion from concept to action,it is necessary to study its mechanism and practical path.Analyzing the question of"how summative assessment promotes learning",it is found that the mechanism is to integrate"proving existing learning value"with"creating new learning value",so as to improve summative assessment to"assessment of learning"in practice,play the summative,diagnostic and formative function of assessment,develop feedback into feedforward and expand space for"creating new learning value".Analyzing the question of"how formative assessment promotes learning",it is found that the mechanism is that students,supported by teachers,identify and cross the best gap between current learning level and expected learning outcomes relying on learning value rationality,thus surpassing the limitation of formative assessment in the form of frequent tests and carrying out"assessment for learning".At the same time,teachers and students talk about identifying and crossing the gap and teachers develop a series of assessment tools to help students cross the gap.Analyzing the question of"how students promote learning through assessment",it is found that the mechanism is to regard assessment as student activity of understanding,reflecting and regulating learning.In this way,assessment becomes a special learning activity and moves toward"assessment as learning",which helps students play the role of"learners"and"assessors"at the same time and understand,reflect and regulate their own learning in a personalized way.
