What does mean to assess writing?
One of the major purposes of writing
assessment is to provide feedback to students. We know that feedback is crucial
to writing development. The 2004 Harvard Study of Writing concluded,
"Feedback emerged as the hero and the anti-hero of our study−powerful
enough to convince students that they could or couldn't do the work in a given
field, to push them toward or away from selecting their majors, and
contributed, more than any other single factor, to students' sense of academic
belonging or alienation".
What does mean to assess writing?
Assessment is the gathering of information
about student learning. It can be used for formative purposes−−to adjust
instruction−−or summative purposes: to render a judgment about the quality of
student work. It is a key instructional activity, and teachers engage in it
every day in a variety of informal and formal ways.
Assessment of student writing is a process.
Assessment of student writing and performance in the class should occur at many
different stages throughout the course and could come in many different forms.
At various points in the assessment process, teachers usually take on different
roles such as motivator, collaborator, critic, evaluator, etc., (see Brooke
Horvath for more on these roles) and give different types of response.
