Assessing Science Knowledge: Summative Assessments for Years 1 to 6

Description

Focus Education has produced summative assessments for science in Years 1 to 6 that take account of the knowledge children are expected to have at the end of each academic year. The assessments are end-of-year summative assessments. This follows the Education Endowment Foundation's view of not assessing too close to the point of learning. Therefore, the tests take account of long-term memory.

The starting point for each age group is the respective National Curriculum programme of study. A set of year-group expectations has been created from the programmes of study. These appear at the beginning of each age group's assessments. They are, in reality, the key knowledge pupils need to take with them as they move through Key Stages 1 and 2.

The assessments follow these key knowledge statements, and pupils must effectively attain a pass in each section to be deemed to be meeting the national expectations. The marking system, outlined at the end of each year group assessment, shows how many marks pupils need to attain in each section to meet their age expectations.

The assessments have been created to require minimal marking. Pupils usually enter a number, letter, pre-prepared phrase, or word into a space provided. In this way, marking should be straightforward and not time-consuming.

This book is sold in several formats:
