Development of capacity building model on teachers’ assessment information use based on collaborative immersion approach

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this research were 1) to study the current situation and teachers’ needs in the use of assessment information, 2) to develop the capacity building model on teachers’ assessment information use based on collaborative immersion approach, and 3) to investigate the effectiveness of the implementation of the capacity building model on teachers’ assessment information use based on collaborative immersion approach. Samples for the study of the current situation and teachers’ needs in the use of assessment information consisted of 250 elementary school teachers. Samples for experimental design were 17 elementary and secondary school teachers. Data were analysed by using content analysis and descriptive statistics. It was found that 1) the information that exists in most schools was information on teaching, whereas academic information on the physical or behavioural flaws of students and life skill were rarely exist and rarely used. Moreover, teachers needed to develop knowledge on the analysis of data obtained from assessment information. 2) The developed model was based on collaboration, networking and sustainable development principles. It consisted of three operational stages, (1) getting ready (2) data driven decision making, and (3) follow-up and evaluation. 3) After the model implementation, teachers had more knowledge and skill in assessment information use as well as more positive attitude toward assessment information use. Teachers perceived that overall, the model had its utility, feasibility, accuracy and appropriateness at a high level.
