Translated into Belarusian work of British scientists Paul Black and Dylan William, "Inside the Black Box: raising standards of learning through paisley bedding evaluation" - educational bestseller of our time. The authors call the leading experts in the methodology of Active Assessment (Formative Assessment) in the world, and their work is "superknigay for those who want to improve learning." English Professor compare school class with a black box, which is the most important - learning - which can be improved by applying the technique of AA. Examining hundreds of articles, scientists have come to the conclusion that only an innovation raises the achievement of training in all areas, especially in those who are weaker paisley bedding in education. In their paper, the researchers paisley bedding set out the basic principles of a participatory assessment, as well as ways of its introduction into practice.
Strong evidence suggests that the active assessment - an essential component of classroom work and that its use can raise standards of achievement, celebrate gentlemen Black and William. Indeed, they do not know any other way of raising standards for which you would find as much evidence of serious. Inside the Black Box: raising standards through assessment in the classroom
Raising standards of training, which provides schooling, is an important national paisley bedding priority. paisley bedding In recent years, paisley bedding governments paisley bedding around the world, more and more resolutely carry out reforms in order to achieve this goal. National, state and regional standards, setting goals, expanded program on an external paisley bedding monitor student progress, conducting research, such as NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress) and TIMSS (Third International Mathematics and Science Study); initiatives to improve school planning and management; more frequent and thorough - it's hard to achieve the same result. But the sum of all these reforms is not an effective policy because something is missing here.
Education is defined by the fact that teachers and students are doing in class. Teacher to work is not easy: in the classroom raises difficult situations, teachers are experiencing emotional paisley bedding and social pressure of 20-30 young people and at the same time they need to succeed in school and help to become better students in the future. Standards can be raised only if teachers can solve their task more efficiently. What is missing paisley bedding in the above-mentioned efforts - direct assistance paisley bedding to teachers in this task. This problem is clearly shown on the video lessons: "Focusing paisley bedding on standards and accountability that ignores the processes of teaching and learning in the classroom, teachers do not show the right direction paisley bedding to improve these processes."

Using the language paisley bedding of the system design, the current approach to education is the United States and many other countries is characterized by the ratio of the class to the school as a black box. At the entrance to a box placed students, teachers, and other resources, regulations, and requirements management, parenting experiences, standards, tests with prizes, etc. It is expected that the output will turn some results: students who are richer than ever, knowledge, and are more competent, better will be the results of tests, happy teachers, etc. But what happens inside the box? How can I be sure that a specific set of components of the educational process will lead to better results paisley bedding if we do a little research what is going on inside? And why most of the reform initiatives mentioned in the first paragraph is not intended to assist and support the work of teachers in the classroom?
The answer that is usually given to these questions - the case of teachers: they have to improve the work inside. That answer is not good enough for two reasons. First, as a minimum, it is likely that some changes at the input can be counterproductive and will make it more difficult for teachers to raise standards. Secondly, it seems strange and even unfair to leave the hardest piece of work to raise standards fully master. If there are ways to direct assistance and support in the daily nastvnikav improve learning in the classroom by the developers of reform and others, then, of course, they need to be strongly guided.
This article is about what is going on inside the black box. We focus our attention on one aspect of learning: active evaluation. But we show that this aspect is the engine of effective learning.
We start with the obvious, obvious position that teaching and learning should be interactive. Teachers need to know about the student's progress and difficulties in training so that they can adapt their own activities to the needs of students - p
