  13. Using evidence for learning The collection and analysis of data

  14. Using evidence for learning http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning The collection and analysis of high quality evidence is an essential component in the ongoing cycle of inquiry that is central to improving teaching and learning.

  15. Gathering evidence http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Gathering-evidence Gathering evidence involves understanding about: • Types of evidence: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Gathering-evidence/Topics/Types-of-evidence • Using a range of assessment methods: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Gathering-evidence/Topics/Assessment-methods • Formative and summative assessment: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Gathering-evidence/Topics/Formative-and-summative-assessment • Involving students in assessment processes: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Gathering-evidence/Topics/Involving-students

  19. Reading and analysing datahttp://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Reading-and-analysing-data It is essential that educators are able to accurately read and interpret data, so that they know where students are in their learning, and are able to best set goals and plan for optimum teaching and learning. The topics in this section cover: • Commonly used graphs: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Reading-and-analysing-data/Topics/Common-graphs • Data reports from assessment tools (e-asTTle, PAT, and STAR): http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Reading-and-analysing-data/Topics/Data-reports-from-assessment-tools • Data reports from SMS including KAMAR & Schoolmaster: http://assessment.tki.org.nz/Using-evidence-for-learning/Reading-and-analysing-data/Topics/SMS-data-reports
