Assessment

DEFINITION

Analyzing and determining the the nature and quality of students' achievement through means appropriate to the subject. "Assessment" has come to us from the Latin word assidere, which means, ?to sit with.? That is very apt indeed. In art education there are many instruments used in assessment: rubrics, check-lists, games, and tests are among them. Contrary to the opinions of some, a "testicle" is not, nor ever has been, a humorous question on a test.Also see art therapy, bias, effort, examination, interesting, masterpiece, monitor, Praxis, and webucation.
