AREA4_ASSESSMENT – Pla Digital Educatiu

Area 4. Assessment

Assessment can be a facilitator or bottleneck to innovation in education. When integrating digital technologies into learning and teaching, we must consider how digital technologies can enhance existing assessment strategies. At the same time, we must also consider how they can be used to create or to facilitate innovative assessment approaches. Digitallycompetent educators should be able to use digital technologies within assessment with those two objectives in mind.

At the same time, digital technologies can contribute to directly monitoring learner progress, to facilitating feedback and to allowing educators to assess and adapt their teaching strategies.

4.1 Assessment strategies

Description. To use digital technologies for the design of diagnostic, formative, and summative evaluation means and instruments, and implements them in compliance with security measures and protection of personal data. To enhance the diversity and suitability of evaluation formats and approaches.

Theoretical knowledge and guided use of digital technologies to evaluate teaching and learning processes.

Autonomous application and adaptation to new contexts of digital media and instruments for the evaluation of teaching and learning processes.

Research and design of new models, means and instruments for evaluating teaching and learning processes through the use of digital technologies.

4.2 Analysing and evidence

Description. To generate, select, critically analyse and interpret digital evidence on the activity, performance and progress of students in order to improve the teaching and learning process, respecting current regulations on data protection.

Knowledge of digital media for the management and interpretation of data from educational evaluation under ethical and pedagogical criteria and supervised application of procedures.

Autonomous use of the digital technologies of data analysis of the centre, in the processes of evaluation of teaching and learning, and transfer of its application to new educational strategies.

Investigación aplicada sobre la gestión e interpretación de datos para la mejora de la evaluación de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje utilizando las tecnologías digitales.

4.3 Feedback and planning

Description. To use digital technologies to offer feedback to students respecting the privacy and security of the information provided. To adapt teaching strategies and provides specific reinforcement from the data obtained. Informs students and families and facilitates the understanding of the evidence of learning provided by digital technologies, so that they can be used in decision-making.

Knowledge of the digital technologies used to inform evaluation processes and guide teaching and learning accordingly.

Autonomous use of the centre’s digital technologies to make decisions and offer feedback, information and guidance on the development of teaching and learning processes from the data obtained in the evaluation processes.

Evaluation, configuration, and development of new systems, using digital technologies, to offer feedback, inform, and guide teaching and learning from the data obtained in the different evaluation processes.
