In a teaching through competences perspective, a teacher’s challenge is that of identifying assessment methods which truly enable a pupil’s level of mastery and generalisation of knowledge to emerge: a true, educational, reflexive and recursive assessment.
Moving in this direction, this book constitutes a complete, practical tool, offering material, programmes and assessment models which have been tested and proven to be effective, in line with national guidelines and new models of certification at the end of primary school.
Specifically, competence tests which allow pupils to engage in meaningful learning and in undertakings which are contextualised in everyday life, performing real world tasks.
Each competence test comes with a self-monitoring sheet for the child and with assessment indexes, which enable detailed and articulated examination of levels reached, with clear explanations of the indicators to observe:
– Mathematics competences index
– Real world tasks index
– Observation of cognitive processes index.
