O abordare inovativă a evaluării în educația timpurie
AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO ASSESSMENT DURING EARLY EDUCATION

Summary/Abstract: IDELA (International Development and Early Assessment of Learning) is an assessment tool developed following a three-year activity by Ivelina Borisova; from Save the Children; with the help of Vidur Chopra. It allows to evaluate the development and early education of young children (3.5-6.5 years). The assessment tool resulted after three years of verifying and modifying the instrument; in several locations in 12 different countries. The tool includes 24 items; is easy to translate and manage and presents levels of high fidelity and validity.When applied in different countries; the instrument has been adapted taking into account the feasibility of administration; the relevance of the instrument and policy at country level; as well as its applicability at international level.In Romania; the application of the instrument was made face to face during the initial evaluation of 300 children aged 3 -6 at the Kindergarten “Căsuţa Bucuriei” no. 11 from Braşov. The innovative dimension of the application was the final assessment: it was conducted in a “virtual classroom” with 230 children; but adapted to the pandemic context in which the learning took place; either in a hybrid scenario or exclusively online.
