In education, assessment is collecting, analysing, and interpreting data related to the student to determine learning progress. The assessment tools are the instruments and techniques that are used for evaluation and measurement to inform on the progress of knowledge acquisition.
The competency-based education system comes with many tools that can be used to assess learners’ knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes for real-life application.
The assessment tools can be formal or informal, they can be used to measure qualitatively or quantitively.
The main assessment tools that are used include tests, checklists, rubrics, portfolios, oral questions, projects, learner profiles, and journals among others. In this article, we will expound more on these tools.
The new CBC curriculum introduced in 2017 for Kenyan learners aims to reduce the over-emphasis on theoretical examination to competency. The examination under this new curriculum is called the Competency Based Assessment (CBA). The CBA evaluates four main values, application of knowledge, skill, values, and attitude to solve real-life situations.
The curriculum was developed by the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) which is mandated to develop all curriculums for basic education in Kenya. However, the assessment issues are the mandate of the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC)
The CBC curriculum uses formative and summative types of assessments. The KNEC exams in CBC are KEYA in Grade 3, KPSEA in Grade 6, KMYA in Grade 9, KILEA, and KCBE in Grade 12.
Like any other country, the history of learning and education in Kenya is as old as human. Even before the formal education system was introduced people used to learn. The young generation used to learn from elders by word of mouth and apprenticeship in different art and skills.
