Difference between assessment and feedback
Answers
Explanation:
At the sharp end of education, assessment and feedback are often, unhelpfully, conflated. This has been compounded by the language we use: terms like ‘assessment for learning’ and ‘formative assessment’ are used interchangeably and for many teachers both are essentially the same thing as providing feedback. Clearly, these processes are connected – giving feedback without having made some kind of assessment is probably impossible in any meaningful sense and most assessment will result in some form of feedback being given or received – but they are not the same.
It’s worth giving some simple definitions:
Assessment is the process of judging or deciding the amount, value, quality, or importance of something.
Feedback is information given on the amount, value, quality, or importance of the thing being judged or measured.
Assessing students’ performance is a complex business. It might seem obvious that we could simply ask students questions to find out what they’ve learned, but how do we know we’re asking the right questions? Our questions often prompt students to give particular answers and are unlikely to reveal the full extent of what they know. Any inferences we make about what or whether students have learned are likely to be flawed unless we have a decent working knowledge of reliability and validity.
