The strengths of comparative judgement
Did you know that teachers differ up to 8 points on a 20-point scale when they judge the same student? Our comparing tool offers guidance. It:
- simplifies assessments
- bases scores on multiple assessments
- combines assessors’ expertise
Students can learn a lot from assessments. The Comproved comparing tool improves learning by:
- giving students insight in the quality of their work
- lets students compare their work with that of fellow students (through peer assessments)
- facilitates qualitative feedback
The Comproved comparing tool is the result of five years of thorough academic research. Comparative assessment:
- is more accurate than other assessment methods
- makes the best use of teachers’ expertise
- is easy to apply
- encourages feedback on complex skills
- provides valuable data for teachers and students
The Comproved comparing tool is perfectly suited for educational settings. It:
- integrates easily with other tools (LTI)
- delivers interactive results
- encourages collaboration with other teachers
Clients
This is what users of the comparing-tool say
"The biggest advantage of comparative judgment? I think there are several big advantages. To sum up: comparative judgment is fair, natural and efficient."
"How do you rate the quality of an interactive installation for a theatre festival? Assessments with rubrics are not appropriate here. Holistic assessment with the comparison tool offers a solution."
"In the Construction programme, we assessed the personal brand of students using the tool. That was a success. Other subjects are now also interested. The reliability is particularly appealing. Teachers are getting more and more complaints, so they have to be self-confident. The use of the comparison tool helps in this respect."
"Comparative assessment is a good alternative to analytical assessment. The overall time investment is probably smaller because assessors do not need intensive training. The comparison tool is user-friendly and offers additional possibilities because it can also be used for various educational, assessment and analysis purposes."
"This takes some getting used to. It looks like Tinder for improvement work, but Comproved is really great!"
