Assessment can play a vital role in ensuring the success |
|
of citizenship education. Assessment should be an on- |
|
going process that informs about the progress and |
|
development of students. Guidelines are presented for |
|
designing and planning assessment activities, and several |
|
formats for assessment are described. Basic guidelines |
|
for assessment are suggested: identify instructional |
|
goals, communicate instructional goals to students, |
|
integrate assessment with instruction, assess often, and |
|
use a variety of techniques. Some of the following |
|
techniques can give more meaningful and accurate data |
|
than multiple-choice and true or false tests: (1) group |
|
projects; (2) interviews with students; (3) essay |
|
questions; (4) informal observation; (5) formal |
|
observation; and (6) projects to help students realize |
|
the connection between instruction and the real world. |
|
Carefully planned assessments that reflect clearly |
|
defined objectives can enhance instruction. Four |
|
references are listed. (SLD) |
