The definition of Curriculum-based Measurement (CBM) is an alternative assessment that improves the quality of “education decision making.” As teachers use CBM assessment tool, teachers can know how much the students understand academic areas such as math, reading, or writing and how much the students reach their academic goals.. If teachers find out that the instructions do not work well for the students, CBM gives some ideas for teachers for changing their instructions. According to the article, when teacher use CBM assessment tool, they should be ready for collecting data, preparing materials, time consuming, having standards for judging performance and analyzing the recorded information.
Because CBM assessment tool provides high quality of information for teachers, they can analyze about what are some problems with the students well. CBM has some advantages such as “efficiency,” “alignment,” and “ usefulness in progress monitoring.” Because CBM is quite simple to use, teachers can understand easily and save their time to get it. With CBM, teachers easily can figure out what the students can do or cannot do. Because CBM sample can be repeatedly used in anytime, it is very usefulness. In our country, South Korea, most of our school system is Curriculum-based Measurement and I have grown up with the assessment tool. Based on my experience, because I took a lot of exams daily, weekly, and monthly, I was encouraged to study daily. In my opinion, if it is not too much, it is a good way to lead students to study well.
