The uniqueness of each student’s learning trajectory necessitates a more nuanced approach to assessment. Given that students of the same age often exhibit varying cognitive development stages and non-linear learning progressions, reliance solely on traditional summative assessments presents significant limitations. To address these discrepancies, schools must adopt a holistic and equitable assessment framework that accurately reflects individual progress.

Adaptive assessments, which adjust in real-time to a student’s ability level, offer a promising solution. The presentation will share the principles of adaptive assessments, their growing adoption in educational institutions, and their role in providing personalized insights into student performance. The session will address key questions, including the determination of a student’s baseline, measurement of progress, and engagement across diversed student populations.

Furthermore, a case study from Yew Chung Yew Wah Education will highlight the effective implementation of adaptive assessments and their impact on informed educational decision-making.

Expected Outcomes:
The audience will take home a clear idea about what is adaptive assessment and agree that it is an indivisible part of the adaptive learning.

The audience will also have opportunities exchange ideas with speakers from Cambridge and Yew Chung Yew Wah Education on how adaptive assessments benefit both students and schools, and how to turn towards adaptive tests as part of whole-school approach.
