The various forms of assessment that we can use with children at the foundational stage are:pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment, formative assessment, summative assessment, confirmative assessment,norm- reference assessment, criterion reference assessment and ipsative assessment.
ReplyDeleteAt the foundational stage, other than the paper pencil test,we can adopt the following types of assessment-
ReplyDelete1 Diagnostic assessment-it is to help to determine the best learning strategy.
2 Formative assessment-it is to track progress and adjustments to the learning strategy.
3 Interim assessment-it is to see the entire learning team , are moving forward and learning the material.
4 Summative assessment-it is to review performance ,progress and how to improve for the next stage.
Assessments help the teacher determine what to teach, how to teach, and in the end, how effectively they taught it.
The types of assessment used for children at the foundational stage are rating assessment, portfolio assessment, norm referenced assessment, etc. They can be used to examine the children's skills and their exploration areas.
ReplyDeleteFormative assessment to check the improvement in performance in a continuos basis, Diagnostic assessment in order to correct the problematic area of the learner specifically n rectify it, Sometimes we can take help of Portfolio assessment to assess the overall development of the particular child or we either assess through or while in conversation with the child , etc.

2 Formative assessment-it is to track progress and adjustments to the learning strategy.
3 Interim assessment-it is to see the entire learning team , are moving forward and learning the material.
4. Finally, summative assessment is done to test the overall performance at the end of the year.
All of this assessment are done in time so that learning become holistic in nature for over all development of the student.
Without paper-pencil, we may use (1) oral based assessment (2) play/toy based assessment (3) peer based assessment going parallel with formative, diagnostic and summative assessment for children at the foundational stage.
ReplyDeleteAt the foundational stage we may use diagnostic assessment, formative assessment, summative assessment, confirmative assessment and so on

ReplyDelete1 Diagnostic assessment- in this assessment the teacher will identify the learning problems of students and rectify it accordingly.
2 Formative assessment-it is to track the progress and made necessary changes to the learning strategy.
3 Interim assessment-it is to see the entire learning team , are moving forward and learning the material.
4 Summative assessment-it is to review the overall performances, progress and how to improve for the next stage.
In the foundational stage assessment should be light and interesting. It should not be a burden. So apart from pencil paper test we can arrange simple tests like oral one eg. narrating a story and then asking them simple questions based on the story.
ReplyDeleteFormative, diagnostic, summative assessment, etc are all known and heard assessments. But for this foundational stage we have to adopt different methods.

ReplyDeleteThe various types of assessments that we can use with children at the foundational stage other than paper-pencil tests are --spontanous observation of children's work and play with their play material and children's literature. In fact observation in how children are grasping it and how the child is moving towards achieving each of the learning outcomes related to that particular concept/skill. Informal assessment is more adjusted with the children at the foundational stage.
ReplyDeleteThe various types of assessments that we can use with children at the foundational stage
ReplyDeleteother than paper-pencil tests are
1. Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment
Before creating the instruction, it’s necessary to know for what kind of students you’re
creating the instruction.
2. Formative assessment
Formative assessment is used in the first attempt of developing instruction. The goal is to
monitor student learning to provide feedback.
3. Summative assessment
Summative assessment is aimed at assessing the extent to which the most important
outcomes at the end of the instruction have been reached.
4. Confirmative assessment
When your instruction has been implemented in your classroom, it’s still necessary to take
assessment.
5. Norm-referenced assessment
This compares a student’s performance against an average norm.
6. Criterion-referenced assessment
It measures student’s performances against a fixed set of predetermined criteria or learning
standards.
7. Ipsative assessment
It measures the performance of a student against previous performances from that student.

Both methods are effective and can help inform educators and parents about a child’s progress.
ReplyDeleteApart from pen and pencil we have to be a keen observer . We have to do a diagnostic assessment if we think a student is facing problems in a particular area . Apart from this we should also perform formative and summative assessment according to the situation.
ReplyDeleteAssessment other than paper pencil test are self assessment (observational assessment
ReplyDeleteperfomance assessment )
,peer assessment
group assessment
oral assessment etc.It should be stress free and informal assessment.
Apart from paper- pencil test assessment, there are various forms of assessment that can be used with children at the foundational stage. Because every child is unique, having their own strengths, abilities and areas of growth.
ReplyDeleteAssessment is to support the children's holistic learning, and here in the context of FLN, the first and most important purpose is to use assessments to provide teachers working at the foundational stage with concrete feedback about the children’s learning levels in literacy and numeracy.
This learner-centred timely assessment would help children in preparing for school, and develop them into healthy, cognitive and emotionally competent individuals.
And teachers also need to enhance their knowledge in ‘Assessment for Learning’ and improve foundational literacy and numeracy skills of children through various different methods of assessment across the foundational stage.
The regular and continuous assessments help in significant reduction of the number of such children who actually experience difficulty in achieving literacy and early numeracy skills.
Assessment in foundational learning should be of concrete feedback to children so that they would be able to make out their mistakes and also teacher could bring about appropriate plan for development of children from different backgrounds and upbringing and so increase learning activities and decrease the drop-out level of students.

ReplyDeleteThe type of assessment that we can use with children at the foundation stage:-
ReplyDelete- Observations can be made with minimal or no intrusion into children’s activities. Educators can observe all facets of development, including intellectual, linguistic, social-emotional, and physical development, on a regular basis.
- Portfolios are a record of data that is collected through the work children have produced over a period of time. The collection clearly shows the progress of a child’s development. Portfolios can be an important tool in helping facilitate a partnership between teachers and parents.
- Educator Ratings are useful in assessing children’s cognitive and language abilities as well as their social-emotional development. These ratings can be linked to other methods of assessment, such as standardized testing or other assessment tools. (See the next question below.)
- ParentRatings integrate parents into the assessment process. Parents who are encouraged to observe and listen to their child can help detect and target important milestones and behaviors in their child’s development.
- Standardized Tests are tests created to fit a set of testing standards. These tests are administered and scored in a standard manner and are often used to assess the performance of children in a program.
The simplest way and more effective way need to be used in assessing the children especially during the foundation stage. Some of the assessments that in my opinion are appended below;

ReplyDeleteAssessment provides educators, parents, and families with critical information about a child’s development and growth.Methods of child assessment can be informal - 1.Conducting natural observations, 2.Collecting data and children’s work for portfolios, using educator and teacher ratings.
ReplyDeleteA form of assessment other than the pen-pencil test - NEP2020 clearly makes a shift from ‘rote memorisation’ to ‘competency-based assessment’. The aim of the assessment now will be ‘for learning’ instead of ‘of learning’. The formative nature of the assessment will help learners to continually build their knowledge and skills through a variety of ongoing activities and assignments that will keep the teacher and learner both informed of the learner’s progress. The aim of assessment will be to go beyond testing the content, to testing skills- such as reading writing numeracy, mathematical thinking, and higher order thinking skills of the learner along with their communication and collaboration skills.
