Assessment principles and practices - Quality assessments in a digital ageOverview
Table of contents
This resource has been designed to have many routes through, depending on the interests and needsof the reader. The following table of contents is intended only as a reference list of all the chapters
rather than a suggested order in which they should be read. We would encourage you to start with the chapter on Using this resource, to understand how to navigate to the sections which are most important to you.Foreword
"Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted. - (Albert Einstein/William Cameron 1963) "Clearly, if the other criteria are less reliable than the examinations, greater reliance on them will lead to less reliable selection decisions. - (Mike Cresswell 1986) These two quotes indicate the scope of the challenge that we face with assessment. Many of the objectives for an International Baccalaureate (IB) education are not easy to assess, but withoutdetailed assessments of our learners, important decisions that will affect their lives will be made on
less fair and reliable grounds. IB programmes are taught in over 140 countries by schools representing a wide variety of educational contexts and traditions. In some of these contexts, the philosophy and approaches adopted by the IBin assessing their students will seem familiar, while to others, the system might seem mysterious and
obscure. In this document, we are seeking to explain the principles the IB has adopted to make sure that the assessment we undertake is meaningful, fair and in the best interest of the students involved. 5 Assessment principles and practices - Quality assessments in a digital ageOverview
Such clarity is even more important during a period of change, and the impact of technology on education, including assessment, will continue to be felt over the next decade. We strongly believe that technology should support assessment and the move towards computerized on-screen examinations will not change our principles; but it may open up new possibilities in turning these principles into practices. More details on this can be found in the chapter on Assessment using technology. We believe that it is important that everyone in the IB community understands how our external assessment process works, what its strengths and limitations are, and the reasons why decisions aretaken. Increased transparency can only lead to better understanding and ultimately a better education
for our students. By using the opportunities offered by on-screen resources, we hope to provideteachers with a clear guide that is accessible but also contains the depth of information they need to
understand IB assessment.Figure 1: All assessments are a balance
6 Assessment principles and practices - Quality assessments in a digital ageOverview
All assessments are a balance between conflicting demands and many concerns about testing processes fail to take this into account. An example might be the tension between reducing the assessments burden and the risk of candidates only having one opportunity to show what they can do. For more information on this see the section on validity.Need to balance between conflicting priorities
Another aspect of balance is the fact that the focus of the IB is to develop students through a holistic
programme of study, and we must reflect this in our approach to assessment. This means we should make decisions about the impact on the overall programme, not a narrow focus on one subject, discipline or assessment. In order to understand the nature of the IB assessment philosophy and operation, it is necessary to provide some background on the historical and theoretical development of assessment practice. Many significant issues are only briefly touched upon, but it is important to highlight them as they have a significant impact on current practice. For readers who wish to find out more, the academic papers quoted in the text will make a suitable starting point for further investigation.We started by recognizing the difficult task the IB sets itself; to focus on what is important to assess
and not what is easy. This is perhaps most eloquently expressed by Alec Peterson, the first DirectorGeneral of the IB:
"What is needed is a process of assessment which is as valid as possible, in the sense that it really assesses the whole endowment and personality of the pupil in relation to the next stage of his life, but at the same time sufficiently reliable to assure pupils, parents, teachers, and receiving institutions that justice is being done. Yet such a process must not, by its backwash effect, distort good teaching, nor be too slow, nor absorb too much of our scarce educational resources. - (Peterson 1971) We hope the rest of this resource explains how we believe we can deliver on this challengingobjective and support the wider educational intentions of the International Baccalaureate in providing

a world class experience for its students. If you have further queries which are beyond the scope of this resource please contact IB assessment staff, by emailing assessment@ibo.org.Why read this document?
Because assessment results have an impact on students' lives The majority of the content of this document refers to the way in which the IB assesses candidates to award Diploma Programme (DP), Career-related Programme (CP) and the optional Middle Years Programme (MYP) outcomes, which are then used by students to progress into further education or work. Like everything else, assessment is only a tool which can lead to positive or negative outcomes for those being evaluated with them. As a teacher, parent or student, you are involved in assessments and should understand the strengths, weaknesses and decisions that those offering and using assessment need to make. Below are some of the common questions and comments we receive from teachers and how this document will help answer them. "Why would the IB do that?" This is the heartfelt question that we often hear from teachers and students when faced with external assessment. By reading this document you should understand the principles that drive our assessment practices. "It's not fair sir, I needed a higher grade!" For students, a great deal will depend on their examination results, such as university entrance and future career; and they need to understand why decisions are made. Assessment is all about balancing conflicting and competing demands and this document will help you to explain to students the wider implications of bending the rules in their case, and maybe even convince them that their grade was "fair". "I had not thought about it like that before." 8 Assessment principles and practices - Quality assessments in a digital ageOverview
Even for teachers who have worked in education for many years, external assessment can often seem a mysterious and opaque process. No part of an education, particularly an IB education, should be "done to" someone, and so we need to be able to explain to students how and why they receive the results they have. "I only want to use assessments to inform better teaching." An understanding of what makes good assessment, and what decisions need to be made, is important even if you are intending to use assessment for formative purposes. Poor quality assessments willlead to poor quality outcomes, and this is equally true if the outcome is to support learning or some
other internal school purpose as if it is intended for selection or formal recognition. This document
will help understand how the IB meets its objectives to provide high quality assessment to support its
educational goals. Using this resource - different routes through the document•The range of topics in Assessment principles and practices is so that it is helpful to provide a
framework to guide readers to sections which are of particular interest to them.•The topic questions below can act as a starting point for learning about those aspects that are most
important to the reader.What are these topic questions?
Assessment principles and practice is intended as a comprehensive overview of the way that the IB approaches assessment. Many teachers will not want this breadth and are looking for specificinformation about part of the process. To help do this we have prepared a number of separate lists of
sections which concentrate on particular questions that teachers may have. What difference will on-screen assessment make to IB assessment? Intended for teachers who are familiar with IB assessment but are interested in how the IB will handle them, move to on-screen assessments.Typical questions include:
