#Principles of non formal education plus#
The mission of Nonformal Education (NFE) in the Philippines is to empower the Filipino with "desirable knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that will enable him/her to think critically and creatively, act innovatively and humanely in improving the quality of his/her life and that of his/her family, community and country." NFE aims to reduce the number of illiterate out-of-school youth and adults with need-based literacy programs, plus continue education through basic development projects. If we want to use assessment to monitor students’ progress and help them maximize their own learning, or use assessment to improve instruction, then we can use the informal assessment. For example, if we want to assess the students’ academic achievement and compare it with other students, then we can use the formal assessment. The type of assessment we should use should match the intended purpose of the assessment. We can use either type (depending on the intended purpose) to improve teaching and learning. We need both, as one complements the other, in depicting accurate pictures of our students. Informal assessment cannot completely replace the formal assessment. should preferably be interactive (should elicit response and interaction from and among students).should be unbiased (should maintain objectivity record only what is actually observed and heard without missing the minute details).should be clear (should manifest true purpose of assessment identify target behavior/skill).should be constructive (should be able to point out strengths and weaknesses of students to provide direction for improvement).should be able to provide feedback (to improve student’s performance to modify instruction and teaching styles to re-teach if necessary to apply necessary interventions and accommodations).should be practical and appreciated by students should be able to motivate students.should be appropriate to target population.should be relevant (should be pertinent to the content as well as applicable to real life).should be fair (should give students with diverse backgrounds equal opportunity to do well in the assessment should have clear procedures for scoring and interpretation should make use of set criteria and rubrics).should be able to provide information that can be used for comparisons (comparing student’s performance against national standards like in standardized tests comparing students against other students like in norm referenced tests or comparing students against pre-determined criteria like in criterion referenced tests)Ĭharacteristics of good informal assessment:.should be apt for the intended purpose and target audience.should be c omprehensive (should cover all areas/topics taught).should be well-timed (should give students ample time to answer the test and demonstrate what they know.should be reliable (should provide consistent results).should be able to provide strong evidence if the student has achieved the learning objectives/outcomes should be aligned with the objectives and outcomes.should be able to measure the student’s knowledge of the intended content.should be valid (should measure what it’s supposed to measure).should be able to answer the questions: What does the student know? How competent is the student based on the targeted learning outcome? How much knowledge and skills has the student attained and retained from studying a specific lesson/course?.Informal assessments are content and performance driven.Ĭharacteristics of good formal assessment: Informal assessments are those spontaneous forms of assessment that can easily be incorporated in the day-to-day classroom activities and that measure the students’ performance and progress. Formal assessments determine the students’ proficiency or mastery of the content, and can be used for comparisons against certain standards. Formal assessments are the systematic, pre-planned data-based tests that measure what and how well the students have learned.
