Features: This book is a practical manual designed to provide convenient references for readers with diverse experiences in classroom assessment. The primary task for readers may not be to read the entire book cover-to-cover, but rather to first gain a general understanding of the purpose and role of classroom assessment. Then, they can proceed directly to the most appropriate and interesting classroom assessment techniques for their subject and teaching objectives for detailed reading and exploration. To achieve this, the book is organized into three parts. Part 1 can serve as an introductory overview of classroom assessment for readers with varying levels of prior experience, or as a comprehensive review for those already familiar with the topic. Part 2 compiles 50 different classroom assessment techniques, all of which are very easy to use. Part 3, consisting of the last two chapters of the book, mainly focuses on reviews and prospects. The core of the book is found in Chapters 7-9, which showcase 50 classroom assessment techniques, some of which are entirely new, while others are significant modifications of the original 30 techniques based on classroom application. All three chapters include several sub-techniques, broadly categorized by assessment object: Knowledge and Skills (Chapter 7), Attitudes, Values, and Self-Awareness (Chapter 8), and Teaching Feedback (Chapter 9).
