What is the full form of SBA test?

School Based Assessment (SBA) Preparations for NAS 2020 (Pre NAS 2020) interventions have been initiated to reach out to all the districts of different States and UTs. In this context, a School Based Assessment (SBA) is proposed to be conducted throughout the country to assess the Learning Outcomes of all the children at the Elementary level.

• The purpose of the SBA is to empower the teachers to improve the learning levels of the students.
• A framework to improve the quality of learning through SBA in the schools is being prepared which would focus on bringing in its ambit school leaders, teachers and the whole network of officials at blocks, DIETs, SCERT and the Directorates of Education in different States ad UTs.

The key features of the School Based Assessment are:

It is proposed to be a decentralised test where the preparation of the test papers will be done at District level for which training will be given by NCERT and administration of the test will be at the school level.

Non standardized assessment would be used to link to individual learning styles of each child. Emphasis will be on portfolio, self and peer assessment used in conjunction with teacher assessment. Assessment of personal social qualities along with cognitive competencies will be encouraged. A strong and relevant feedback mechanism will be inbuilt allowing the teacher to give immediate and constructive feedback to students. SBA would have an online reporting system of both school and teacher level performance which can be monitored at the District, State and National level. Guidelines, handbook, videos, e-books and e-learning materials will be developed for conduct of SBA and shared with the States and UTs. SBA would involve in its framework ‘a whole school approach’ which involves the participation of the community in the learning process. Students’ progress would be discussed with the parents and shared with the SMCs and suggestions would be sought. In implementing the SBA, emphasis will be on on-site mentoring by the Cluster Resource Center Coordinator (CRCC). The CRCCs would nurture and support the teachers on a regular basis. Teachers would be encouraged to participate in quality circles within the clusters. Sample checking by an external agency will be done to validate the data from the schools.

What is the purpose of SBA?

Overview of SBA Organization and Senior Leadership – About SBA The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) was created in 1953 as an independent agency of the Federal Government to aid, counsel, assist and protect the interests of small business concerns, to preserve free competitive enterprise and to maintain and strengthen the overall economy of our nation.

We recognize that small business is critical to our economic recovery and strength, to building America’s future, and to helping the United States compete in today’s global marketplace. Although SBA has grown and evolved in the years since it was established in 1953, the bottom line mission remains the same.

The SBA helps Americans start, build and grow businesses. Through an extensive network of field offices and partnerships with public and private organizations, SBA delivers its services to people throughout the United States, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and Guam.

• 10 Regional Offices
• 68 District Offices
• 900 Small Business Development Centers
• Over 100 Women’s Business Centers
• Over 350 Service Corp of Retired Executives (SCORE) Chapters
• Approximately 5,000 lending partners

The organizational chart for SBA is currently being revised. The Open Government Plan will be updated in the near future to include an organizational chart. About the Administrator Karen G. Mills was sworn in April 6, 2009, as the 23rd Administrator of the U.S.

Small Business Administration. Since 1983, Ms. Mills has been an active hands-on investor in and successful manager of small businesses. Ms. Mills also has distinguished herself as a passionate advocate for small business policy that encourages innovation, economic development and job creation. About the SBA Senior Leadership and Staff The executive leadership team at SBA reflects a diverse cadre of experienced professionals who bring many years of experience in starting and/or growing small businesses.

The SBA team consists of about 2,000 hardworking employees at SBA Headquarters (Washington, DC), other SBA centers, and about 68 SBA field offices in all 50 states as well as U.S. territories. Appendix 2 Overview of Records Management Program The purpose of records management is to make information available in the right place, at the right time, at the lowest cost.

1. Records management controls official records from the time they are created or received until they are either destroyed or archived.
2. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) must identify, preserve, protect, and make available the historically valuable records of the U.S.
3. Government.
4. The head of each Federal agency shall establish and maintain an active, continuing program for the economical and efficient management of the records of the agency.

The program, among other things, shall provide for:

• effective controls over the creation and over the maintenance and use of records in the conduct of current business;
• cooperation with the General Services Administration and the Archivist in applying standards, procedures, and techniques designed to improve the management of records, promote the maintenance and security of records deemed appropriate for preservation, and facilitate the segregation and disposal of records of temporary value; and
• compliance with sections 2101-2117, 2501-2507, 2901-2909, and 3101-3107, of this title and the regulations issued under them.

The SBA’s records management program ensures that records are properly documented and preserved and that records no longer needed are properly disposed of or retired. Records management consists of three lifecycle stages:

• Creation or receipt of a record or document
• Maintenance and use of records
• Archiving and disposing of records

The SBA staff responsible for overall records management reside within the Office of Management and Administration. The staff provides oversight and guidance to SBA employees to ensure that each stage in the lifecycle of records is recognized, preserved and properly disposed.

The Records Management staff also interacts regularly with NARA to ensure all Federal records management policies are followed. The Office of the Executive Secretariat is responsible for managing the records of the Administrator, Deputy Administrator, and Chief of Staff. Due to the sensitivity and nature of many of the documents, Exec Sec handles the retrieval and temporary repository.

The coordination for archiving is done through the Agency’s records management specialist in the Office of Management and Administration under the Administrative Information Branch. Records are collected on a quarterly basis with a schedule that ensures appropriate handling for each year.

Based on guidelines regulated by the National Archives and Records Administration, a determination is made on which records are the Administrator’s records, and which are not. Records that are stored in our electronic tracking system will either be transferred to another holding area or destroyed. Vital records, those that come from the Administrator, are packaged and sent to the National Archives and Records Administration.

Appendix 3 Overview of the Freedom of Information Act Program The Freedom of Information/Privacy Acts (FOI/PA) Office has the responsibility of managing the appellate function for the SBA as well as developing policy and procedures for the Agency regarding both Acts.

• Both Acts contain two administrative levels, an initial and an appellate review.
• The initial review is conducted by the program or field office(s) that maintain the requested information.
• The FOI/PA office conducts an appellate review should a dissatisfied requestor submit an appeal of the initial response.

In addition, the FOI/PA Office provides guidance and training to SBA personnel, agency clients and the general public regarding the Acts. The FOI/PA Office, located within SBA’s Office of Hearing and Appeals was established in December of 1976. The FOI/PA Staff consists of one supervisory paralegal specialist and two paralegals.

Fiscal Year	No. Of FOIA Requests	No. of Appeals Processed	No. of Requests Backlogged
2008	2,640	22	8
2009	3,898	39	8

To support greater transparency across the agency, the FOIA office will be a permanent member of the SBA Data Oversight Review Board. The Review Board will meet quarterly to review candidate high-value datasets to post on Data.gov. As part of his or her role in this group, the FOIA representative will identify and present to the group approved FOIA requests which relate to high-value data which could potentially be made publically available on an ongoing basis.

Such requests will be evaluated by the Review Board against established criteria (e.g., value, quality, privacy concerns, etc.). Data sets which meet these criteria will be posted on www.sba.gov and, if applicable, forwarded to Data.gov as high-value data sets. Appendix 4 Summary of Congressional Requests for Information The mission of SBA’s Congressional & Legislative Affairs (CLA) is to assist in the development and enactment of SBA legislative proposals and to serve as the liaison for SBA’s communications on all legislative and congressional activities with Congress and the agencies that support Congress.

The Assistant Administrator for CLA reports directly to the Administrator in carrying out this mission. The principle functions of CLA include:

1. CLA sends and receives all official communications with Congress and all of the agencies that support Congress, including but not limited to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Congressional Research Services (CRS). It furthers the goals of the SBA by ensuring that all requests are properly met and enables Members of Congress to best serve their small business constituency by promptly providing accurate, current and continuous information to Members of Congress, congressional committees and others interested in SBA programs and small business issues.
2. CLA monitors legislation and policies introduced by Congress and proposed by Government agencies to determine their effects on the SBA and small businesses.
3. CLA devises and implements legislative strategy and has primary responsibility for all matters relating to the congressional and legislative functions of SBA. It is responsible for communicating SBA’s policies to Congress. It serves as a liaison with legislative personnel at the White House, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and various Federal departments and agencies.

What does SBA mean student?

Introduction to School-based Assessment School-based assessment (SBA) is an assessment which is embedded in the teaching and learning process. It has a number of important characteristics which distinguish it from other forms of assessment:

It involves the teacher from the beginning to the end: from planning the assessment programme, to identifying and/or developing appropriate assessment tasks right through to making the assessment judgments. It allows for the collection of a number of samples of student performance over a period of time. It can be adapted and modified by the teacher to match the teaching and learning goals of the particular class and students being assessed. It is carried out in ordinary classrooms. It is conducted by the students’ own teacher. It involves students more actively in the assessment process, especially if self and/or peer assessment is used in conjunction with teacher assessment. It allows the teacher to give immediate and constructive feedback to students. It stimulates continuous evaluation and adjustment of the teaching and learning programme. It complements other forms of assessment, including external examinations.

In many educational systems, such as those of Australia, Canada, the UK and Finland, SBA is used extensively or exclusively to provide information about student achievement. In Hong Kong, SBA has been a part of the public examinations system since 1978, when it was first introduced into the HKALE AL examination for Chemistry so that there could be an assessment of laboratory work.

• By 2006, school based assessment had been implemented in 13 ‘A’ Level subjects and 13 Certificate of Education subjects, including English language.
• SBA became a core component of the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) in English Language in 2005-07, and was then revised and extended for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE).

SBA will be progressively incorporated into all 24 subjects. The school-based assessment in the Hong Kong public examination system can be accessed on the HKEAA website at: : Introduction to School-based Assessment

When was school based assessment introduced in Ghana?

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT IN KEEA DISTRICT IN CENTRAL REGION OF GHANA ABSTRACT The study examined the implementation of School Based Assessment in KEEA district in Central Region. The quota sampling procedure was used to select 200 basic school teachers in ten basic schools for the study.

• Five research questions and three hypotheses guided the study.
• Questionnaire was used for data collection for the study.
• The Cronbach’s coefficient alpha for the questionnaire was 0.85.
• The results showed that to a great extent, teachers agreed that, they have knowledge about School Based Assessment in carrying out periodic intervals for the purpose of improving the overall performance of students.

Teachers also reported positive attitude towards the application of School Based Assessment guidelines in schools. It was found that no significant difference existed among the length of service of teachers with respects to the application of SBA. It is recommended that public senior high school teachers are given timely in-service training in order to be abreast with contemporary issues on SBA such as the tasks involved it.

1. Additionally, periodical in-service training and workshops be given to teachers even though they have positive attitude towards the application of SBA guidelines.
2. Furthermore, Ghana Education Service and stakeholders should allocate funds for workshops, seminars for teachers on challenges of SBA.
3. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION The quality of teaching and learning processes in educational institutions is premised on assessment.

Assessment helps management, administrators and teachers in academic institutions to take appropriate decisions that would benefit individuals in such institutions. School Based Assessment is designed to provide schools with an internal assessment system that will help schools to achieve standards in achievement in subject area.

1. However, the introduction of SBA has led to several changes in the classroom.
2. Previously, in Continuous Assessment system, the total class score was 30% but in the SBA, it is 50% hence the study examined the efficacy, influence and challenges of the SBA.
3. Background to the Study Teaching and learning are highly interwoven processes in which their effectiveness depends on each another.

Assessment informs how well the students learn and how well the instructor is teaching. Some of the major purposes of assessment include examining students learning, identifying students’ strengths and weaknesses, assessing the effectiveness of a particular strategy, examining and improving the effectiveness of curriculum programmes, assessing and improving teaching effectiveness, providing data that assist decision making and communicating with and involving stakeholders (Zeleke, 2010).

1. Assessment occurs when one person through some kind of interaction with another, obtains and interprets information about that other person in terms of his/her knowledge and understanding, ability or attitude (Rowntree, 1987).
2. Assessment in education refers to the process of obtaining information that is used for making decisions about students, curricula, programmes and educational policy (Amedahe, 2003).

The most common means by which teachers attempt to assess their students are tests and examinations. Other ways by which students can be assessed include questioning them in class, observing them in action, interviewing them, giving quizzes, using systematic techniques and rating scales.

Assessment is the systematic collection, review and use of information about educational programmes to improve students’ learning. Assessment focuses on what students know, what they are able to do, and what values they have when they graduate (Kelly, 2004). Assessment is concerned with the collective impact of a programme on student learning.

Mzokwana (2008) holds the view that the assessment programme ought to be able to meet diagnostic problems during which learning difficulties may be inspected and classified so that proper corrective measures can be used and direction can be provided.

The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NCCA, 2004) explains that assessment is integral to teaching and learning as it relates to all aspects of the curriculum and encompasses the cognitive and affective domains and can play a critical role in the early identification of learning difficulties.

This means that assessment makes it necessary for schools to implement procedures both at school and classroom levels for recording and reporting assessment outcomes. Assessment may generally be used for formative or summative purposes. Formative assessment, is designed to help the teacher to make effective teaching and learning decisions throughout the period of teaching.

It provides continuous information or feedback to the teacher as well as to the student about their respective performances in teaching and learning. The information is then used for improving the quality of instruction. Formative assessment is also concerned with identifying the capabilities or strengths and weaknesses of pupils.

Formative assessment uses a variety of assessment formats. The appropriateness of a format depends on the nature of the tasks to be performed and the age of the pupils. Some of these formats include checklists, portfolio, projects, individual and group presentations, short tests and quizzes (Zeleke, 2010).

• Under formative assessment, positive achievement of students is recognized and discussed and the appropriate next step are planned and finally, summative, for the recording of the overall achievement of students in an orderly manner.
• The summative type of assessment involves an overall assessment or decision concerning the worth of an educational programme.

This summative description, however, could be used to evaluate the effectiveness of programmes, school improvement goals, alignment of curriculum, or student placement in specific programmmes (Garrison & Ehringhaus, 2007). Summative assessments which are conducted at a particular point in time, usually at the end of a course, or a programme, provide information that can be used during the teaching and learning process.

• Summative assessment was found to be inherent with a number of problems. Some of the problems listed by Miller, Linn and Gronlund (2009) are:
• Test anxiety; test anxiety was so great that it interferes with test performance.
• Lack of provision of feedback and remediation needed to improve students’ weakness.
• Creating self-fulfilling prophecies; test score creates teacher expectations concerning the achievements of individual students which force teachers to teach in accordance with those expectations for students to respond to their expected level.

Due to the problems encountered by the use of terminal assessment, continuous assessment was introduced into the Ghanaian educational system in 1987. Continuous assessment is the type of assessment, which takes place in more or less systematic form throughout a course (Amedahe, 1991).

It involves taking into account a learner’s performance over the whole period of study on a course of education in a variety of ways and situations in determining the final grade. The prefix continuous as applied here appears to be a misnomer in that it is impossible to assess all students all the time without a break (Rowntree, 1987).

Rather the term continuous refers to the frequency of assessment as compared to terminal assessment, which occurs mainly at the end of a course or term or year as the case may be.

1. Nitko (2004) described continuous assessment as an ongoing process of gathering and interpreting information about student learning that is used in making decisions about what to teach and how well students have learned. Nitko highlighted some merits of continuous assessment as follows:
2. It promotes frequent interactions between pupils and teachers to know the strengths and weaknesses of learners and to identify which students need reviews and remediation.
3. Pupils receive feedback from teachers based on performance that allows them to focus on topics they have not yet mastered.

Airasian’s (1991) definition stressed that teachers who use continuous assessment should use a variety of data collection instruments and methods which in turn help them to interpret the synthesis information about learners. Moreover, the information collected from the continuous assessment helps teachers to plan and monitor the different components of the teaching and learning processes.

Continuous assessment is not simply continuous testing. Continuous assessment does not solely depend on formal tests. Continuous assessment is more than giving a tests. It involves every decision made by the teacher in class to improve student’s achievement. The assessment of students’ learning in the classroom is an integrated component of the teaching and learning processes and continuous assessment is subjective, informal, immediate, ongoing and intuitive.

The teacher’s role is to determine student’s current level of knowledge, skill, or understanding, diagnose problems that students may be encountering, make decisions about instructional steps and, evaluate the learning that is taking place in and outside the classroom.

Continuous assessment (CA), also known as progressive assessment or assessment for learning involves testing to measure pupil achievement at regular intervals in order to ascertain the level of learning so that appropriate remediation can be provided as the need may arise (Onuka & Durowoju, 2013). In other words, it offers a methodology for measuring students’ performances and using the resulting findings to improve the students’ future performance.

Continuous assessment, according to Adeoye (2010), is a system of assessment which is carried out at pre-determined intervals for the purpose of monitoring and improving the overall performance of students and of the teaching/learning environment. The introduction of CA into the education system by West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) member countries almost three decades ago helped the education system in Ghana.

The CA was structured such that teachers knew their clearly defined roles and responsibilities when it comes to assessing students. However, some educators and researchers recognized and identified some challenges associated with this implementation. For instance, Quansah (2005) described the CA system as being essentially based on only frequent test taking.

In similar studies, WAEC (1993) examiners’ report discovered that teachers appeared to be more generous in the award of marks to their students. In most cases, students had more marks in the CA than their achieved marks in the external examination in all subjects investigated.

It was also observed that CA scores were usually clustered together with the teacher manifesting a conscious effort to make each student getting closer to the maximum mark. These findings raised concerns on the credibility of the CA and those concerns informed the decision to reduce the weighting of CA from forty percent to thirty percent.

Etsey (1992) identified workload as a limitation of the CA system in Ghana. He further said that increased number of exercises increases the workload of teachers and this affects their output since they find it difficult to score all work given to students at the same time.

Amedahe (1991) also reported that one of the complaints teachers gave was that there were variations in the approach to CA from school to school. Therefore, in order to reduce the workload of teachers and to bring uniformity in the processes and procedures of achieving it, CA was changed to School -Based Assessment (SBA).

What is the main aim of assessment?

Free CTET Paper 1 – 16th Dec 2021 (Eng/Hin/Sans/Ben/Mar/Tel) 150 Questions 150 Marks 150 Mins Assessment is always considered an integral part of the teaching-learning process. The assessment reflects how well classroom instruction has been organized by teachers and how far learners have progressed in their learning.

The main purpose of assessment is to help to identify gaps in student’s learning and what remedial measures should appropriate to reducing the learning gaps of the students that are needed to be taken for continuing or improving their learning. It gathers data during the learning process when the class progresses through a unit of study to determine a student’s knowledge and skills, including learning gaps. Provide feedback about the work the students have completed using the atlas and provide ideas for adjusting, rethinking, and articulating their learning. It informs students about what they have done well, where they have had difficulty, and what they need to do differently to improve their work. It expects students to make errors and directs them to examine these errors to improve their learning. It also measures the achievement in learning and decides if the student should be promoted to the next class.

Hence, we can conclude that none of the above statements are the main purpose of the assessment. Last updated on Apr 1, 2023 CTET Notification 2023 Is To Be Out Soon! The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the CTET Result for December 2022 cycle on 3rd March 2023.

Who administers the assessment?

Administering an Assessment is the process whereby the Educator or Organisation Administrator makes the Assessment available to Learners, and facilitates the Learner taking the Assessment. After the Assessment has been taken, the results of the Assessment, in the form of reports, will be available to the Learner and to those Educators that have been authorised to view the Learner’s Reports.

In order for a Learner to take an Assessment, four criteria must have been met.1) The Assessment must have been created in the Assessment Tool.2) The Learner must have been assigned to the Assessment, which presupposes that they have already been added to the Assessment Tool.3) The Learner must have been given their Assessment Code (the unique code that gives access to the Assessment for that specific Learner).4) The Assessment must be Active Note: Writing Assessments and all Non-Adaptive for Printing Assessments are Active by default, but Adaptive and Non-Adaptive Reading, Numeracy, Vocabulary and Snapshot Assessments need to be made Active after they have been created.

Beyond this, there are some differences between Online and Offline Assessments that are dealt with under Administering an Online Assessment and Administering an Offline Assessment, respectively.

Who are involved in conducting assessment?

Assessment is done with the student, not to the student – As is the case with teaching and learning, assessment is a collaborative endeavour between the teacher and the student – where both want to determine what the student knows and what might be learnt next.

1. Therefore, a major role for the teacher is to manage the learning culture of the classroom in order to maximise students’ motivation to engage keenly with assessment.
2. If the student is not motivated to try with the assessment, it is likely that the results will not really show what the student knows or can do.

Such a result will not help either the teacher or the student to plan next steps.
