Évaluation formative
Les concepts d’évaluation formative et sommative ont été apportés par Michael Scriven en 1967, dans le contexte de l’évaluation de programmes éducatifs (curriculum evaluation). Pour Scriven, une évaluation formative devait permettre à un établissement scolaire d’estimer la capacité de ses programmes scolaires à atteindre leurs objectifs, de façon à guider les choix de l’école pour les améliorer progressivement, au contraire d’une évaluation sommative qui cherche à poser un jugement final sur les programmes : « marchent-ils » ou pas ? Et en conséquence, faut-il les maintenir, les étendre ou les abandonner ? Benjamin Bloom reprend dans les années suivantes cette distinction pour l’appliquer au processus d’apprentissage, notamment dans son ouvrage Handbook on formative and summative evaluation of student learning.
Electronic assessment
Electronic assessment, also known as digital assessment, e-assessment, online assessment or computer-based assessment, is the use of information technology in assessment such as educational assessment, health assessment, psychiatric assessment, and psychological assessment. This covers a wide range of activities ranging from the use of a word processor for assignments to on-screen testing. Specific types of e-assessment include multiple choice, online/electronic submission, computerized adaptive testing such as the Frankfurt Adaptive Concentration Test, and computerized classification testing.
Educational assessment
Educational assessment or educational evaluation is the systematic process of documenting and using empirical data on the knowledge, skill, attitudes, aptitude and beliefs to refine programs and improve student learning. Assessment data can be obtained from directly examining student work to assess the achievement of learning outcomes or can be based on data from which one can make inferences about learning. Assessment is often used interchangeably with test, but not limited to tests.
Standardized test
A standardized test is a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or "standard", manner. Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner. Any test in which the same test is given in the same manner to all test takers, and graded in the same manner for everyone, is a standardized test. Standardized tests do not need to be high-stakes tests, time-limited tests, or multiple-choice tests.
