Hindamissõppimismudel

Hindamissõppimismudel, sometimes translated as assessment-driven learning model, refers to an educational approach where the design and implementation of assessments play a central role in shaping the learning process. Instead of assessments being merely a final evaluation of knowledge, they are integrated throughout the learning journey to guide instruction and student engagement. This model emphasizes that assessments should not only measure what students know but also inform them about their progress and areas needing improvement.

Key principles of the hindamissõppimismudel include formative assessment, where ongoing checks for understanding are used to adjust teaching strategies in real-time. This also involves providing timely and actionable feedback to students, allowing them to actively participate in their own learning. Summative assessments are still present but are viewed as a culmination of the learning process, reflecting the insights gained from earlier formative activities. The model often encourages self-assessment and peer assessment, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility for learning among students.

The overarching goal is to create a dynamic learning environment where assessment is a continuous cycle of teaching, learning, and evaluation. By aligning assessments with learning objectives and using assessment data effectively, educators can better cater to individual student needs and promote deeper understanding and skill development. This approach contrasts with traditional models where assessments might be seen as separate events primarily for grading purposes.
