  6. Why do we grade? II. MOTIVATION - Motivate students to work hard, so they can receive a good evaluation. - Motivate students for future rewards.

  10. Objectivity and subjectivity in grading II. SUBJECTIVE GRADING - “we like it or we don’t” http://www.invaluable.com/catalog/viewLot.cfm?afRedir=true&lotRef=551c4e27c2&scp=c&ri=10

  11. Objectivity and subjectivity in grading II. Subjective grading cont. - Allow our personal impressionof what has been learned. - Based on our knowledge and opinion

  12. Objectivity and subjectivity in grading Ups and Downs - Rating criteria/ rubrics - Equality while grading subjective work - Have justifications and explain (www.carla.umn.edu)

  13. Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading

  14. Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading I. NORM-REFERENCED GRADING Students are evaluated in relation to each other( top 10% get an A, next 30% get B’s).

  15. Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading I. NORM-REFERENCED GRADING CONT. Advantages: • Easy on the teacher • Groups students to see which ones can move on to higher levels in given subjects Disadvantages: - Grades based on relation not personal achievement. • Pins students against each other and discourages collaboration.

  16. Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading II. CRITERION-REFERENCED GRADING - measures students test scores based on pre-determined performance levels (95%-100% is an A, and 85%-89% is a B+)

  17. Norm-referenced and criterion-referenced grading II. CRITERION-REFERENCED CONT. Advantages: • Students grades aren’t based on each others performances • Encourages collaboration between students Disadvantages: • Teachers need experience to determine what’s a fair scale. • They can become more like Norm-referenced grading. (www1.umn.ed)

  18. Checking for understanding • Name two reasons given for ‘purposes of grading.’ • Name one difference between subjective and objective grading • List one disadvantage of norm referenced grading
