Section 1: Experiential Learning
- The psychological educational assessment context
Questions
1) I chose the educational context because it is something I have personal
experience with. I obtained information from the textbook, along with my
own experience.
2) Career counselling involves a qualified professional career counsellor
conducting a series of activities and questions designed to highlight the
client’s strengths and weaknesses. Once the information has been fully
obtained, the counsellor will make recommendations as to what sort of
career fields would be most advantageous to the client based on their
current or potential skills and strengths. There are several approaches which
involve various techniques and activities. People involved are usually in high
school or adults.
3) Reasons for testing in this context are numerous. However, one notable
reason for testing in this context is to improve educators in their teaching
approach as they will have gained a more holistic understanding of learner’s
strengths and weaknesses and educators will be able to refer learners with
special needs for appropriate help. furthermore, testing in the context of
career counseling is important because it provides crucial guidance to those
feeling lost and confused about what career would suit them best. Guiding
individuals towards their most suitable career path will improve their
overall job satisfaction and therefore future life satisfaction. furthermore,
psychological assessment in education can be used to hold teachers
accountable as it provides feedback on what school learners should know
and be able to do at various grade levels. This will ultimately improve the
overall quality of education provided by schools. OK the potential of a
learner’s abilities can be observed through dynamic assessment which is a
more inclusive approach to cognitive based testing. Lastly testing in this
context assists in university admissions decisions and the information
gained can be used to guide program planning and the development of
student support initiatives.
4) The people who are tested in this context are usually children or young adults.
5) The test materials are stored in a safe and discrete location.
