ASSESSMENT AS A FEEDBACK

 Summative Assessment

• E-Portfolios: are working documents used by the students to describe and explain the learning process. In the portfolio the students will have the chance to develop the skill of summarize their thinking about their learning of marine biology and will include samples of materials: audio of the oral report, video, reflection and self-assessment.  The portfolio should explain what, how and why students learn. The final page of the portfolio a couse summary, focussing on the course's strenghts and weakness from the perspective of the students learning.

•  Science Notebook will be use to give stability and permanence to student work, along with purpose and form.  They help students link new information with prior knowledge and reflect on scinece content and understanding (Klentschy and Thompson, 2008)

Formative Assessment

• Self-Assessment, the student mark his own work, perhaps from a mark sheet or by you going through the quesetions with the whole class.

• Pop Quizz  is a short, informal test that is given without any warning. It is often given school to check if students have been studying.

 Yellow box feedback

• Yellow box techniques is the use a highlighter pen to draw a box around the seccion you will comment on and then just give feedback on that.  This way is much easier to monitor that the student has made the improvement.  It is also much easier to the student to know what needs improving without feeling overwhelmed.

Question as feedback

• Mini white board (Show me boards).  Here the students are issued with small white boards and markers.  They give their answer and then, at your signal, hold up the boards. You promote class discussion to reach a consensus.
