| Summary: | SABER-Student Assessment is a component
of the SABER program that focuses specifically on
benchmarking studentassessment policies and systems. The
goal of SABER-Student Assessment is to promote stronger
assessment systems that contribute to improved education
quality and learning for all. Jordan has focused on
increasing student learning outcomes by improving the
quality of education in the country. An effective student
assessment system is an important component to improving
education quality and learning outcomesas it provides the
necessary information to meet stakeholders’ decision-making
needs. In order to gain a better understanding of the
strengths and weaknesses of its existing assessment system,
Jordan decided to benchmark this system using standardized
tools developed under the World Bank’s Systems Approach for
Better Education Results(SABER) program. SABER is an
evidence-based program to help countries systematically
examine and strengthen the performance of different aspects
of their education systems. The SABER-Student Assessment
framework is built on the available evidence base for what
an effective assessment system looks like. The framework
provides guidance on how countries can build more effective
student assessment systems. The framework is structured
around two main dimensions of assessment systems: the
types/purposes of assessment activitiesand the quality of
those activities. The key policy areas for this student
assessment status are as follows: (i) Classroom Assessment;
(ii) Examinations; (iii) National Large-Scale Assessment
(NLSA); and (iv) International Large-Scale Assessment (ILSA). |
