Abstract
This study examined the assessment literacy of primary/junior teacher candidates in all four years of their concurrent program. Candidates from each year of the program completed a survey pertaining to self ‐ described level of assessment literacy, main purposes of assessment, utilization of different assessment methods, need for further training, and suggested methods for promoting assessment literacy in university and practice teaching settings. Levels of self ‐ efficacy remained relatively low for teacher candidates across each of the four years of this program. Most candidates suggested summative purposes for assessment and only a minority expressed formative purposes. They favoured observational techniques and personal communication. Key words: classroom assessment; preservice education Cette etude porte sur la capacite d’evaluation chez les etudiants en pedagogie durant les quatre annees de leur programme de formation a l’enseignement au primaire et au premier cycle du secondaire. Des etudiants de chaque annee du programme ont rempli un questionnaire portant sur les sujets suivants : auto ‐ estimation de leur aptitude a l’evaluation, buts principaux des evaluations, utilisation de diverses methodes d’evaluation, besoin d’une formation plus poussee et suggestion de methodes pouvant aider a perfectionner l’aptitude a l’evaluation a l’universite et lors de stages pedagogiques. Les repondants dans chacune des annees du programme estimaient que leur capacite d’evaluation etait relativement faible. La plupart ont parle d’evaluations sommatives et seulement une minorite, d’evaluations formatives. Les repondants favorisaient les techniques d’observation et les communications personnelles. Mots cles : evaluation des eleves, formation a l’enseignement
本研究考察了小学/初级教师候选人在所有四年的并行项目中的评估读写能力。每年参加该项目的考生都要完成一份关于自我描述的评估素养水平、评估的主要目的、不同评估方法的使用、进一步培训的需要以及在大学和实践教学环境中提高评估素养的建议方法的调查。在这个项目的四年中,教师候选人的自我效能水平一直相对较低。大多数考生提出总结目的的评估,只有少数人表示形成目的。他们喜欢观察技巧和个人交流。关键词:课堂评价;职前教育:为学生提供能力评估课程,为教师提供能力评估课程,为初级教育课程,为初级教育课程,为初级教育课程,为初级教育课程。课程的学生不需要在问卷调查中填写重要的问卷:学生能力的自动评估和评估,但评估的原则,各种评估方法的利用,学生的形成和学生的建议方法,学生的完善,学生的能力评估和大学的阶段教学方法。答复者对方案估计能力和评价能力之间的关系是否可靠的问题提出了质疑。La plupart ont parle d ' evaluation somatives和seuement unminor, d ' evaluation formative。大多数受访者倾向于使用观察法和通信人员。主要内容:评估等级,形成等级
