EDUT 5213 Assessment in the Arts
Assessment in the Arts
Using the strategies from this course, you’ll ensure your students take away what you intended, and will develop a long-lasting, and meaningful, appreciation of the arts. Applying traditional assessment to art instruction can pose challenges because what matters in the art classroom is: instilling a love of art, creativity, experimentation, and other things that can’t always be measured! The nature and diversity of art-based disciplines means assessments like multiple-choice tests and essays often can’t adequately measure student learning. In this course, you will evaluate and create a variety of formative and summative art assessment strategies for your classroom. You’ll explore techniques for evaluating student performance based on your learning objectives, including journals, portfolios, and integrated performances. In addition, you’ll learn how to sequence activities that build in opportunities for students to reflect on their creative art experiences.
