Methodical recommendations outline approaches to assessing the learning outcomes of students in grades 1-4.
One of the key changes in evaluation is the approach to the expression of evaluation. In particular, to replace the generalized score assessment of student’s academic achievements in the subject/course, the Ministry of Education proposed to use verbal assessment of individual learning outcomes, which in addition to evaluating the achievement can also name the level of learning outcomes.
The recommendations introduce the concepts of verbal evaluation (evaluation judgment) and level evaluation (evaluation judgment indicating the level of the result).
“Verbal and level assessment can be expressed both orally and in writing. It is recommended to determine the level of learning outcomes taking into account the dynamics of its achievement and to mark with letters – “initial” (P), “intermediate” (C), “sufficient” (D), “high” (B), – said the Ministry of Education.
It is recommended to express the results of the assessment of personal achievements of students in grades 1-4 by verbal assessment, objective learning outcomes in grades 1-2 – verbal assessment, in grades 3-4 – or verbal or level assessment at the choice of the institution.
The recommendations also contain an indicative framework for assessing the learning outcomes of students in grades 1-4. It allows to ensures the objectivity and accuracy of the assessment result and is designed to help form evaluative judgments and determine the level of learning outcomes.
At the same time, the institution can develop and record general provisions for assessing the learning outcomes of students in the educational program and specify them in the provisions of the internal system of quality assurance in education. Features of the organization of assessment in a particular class can be initiated by the teacher and approved at a meeting of the pedagogical council of the institution.
Student assessment is confidential information that should only be available to the student and his or her parents.
