- Summary:
-
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)
