Schools can share the results of an assessment with students and their parents using the Student Report. The customisable report is available as a PDF and provides detail on how individual students have performed at topic and/or question level, including comparison with school and cohort outcomes. Calculated scores such as percentile ranks, grades and raw percentages can also be included.
Opening the report preview
In Smartgrade, go to Assessment Analysis, find the relevant assessment family and click Student.
The report populates with a preview of the report for the first student in the class for the selected assessment:
As usual, the selectors at top of the page will enable you to move between assessments. The "NEXT" and "PREV" buttons towards the bottom of the screen will enable you to navigate through the preview of the students' reports.
Customising the report
The Student Report can be customised using the "Options & Filters" button:
The preview will update dynamically as you make selections in the Options and Filters slide-over:
The following customisations can be made:
- Grades - any calculated grade can be displayed at the top of the report. By default the raw score, raw percentage and school/MAT percentile rank (if calculated) is included.
- Parts - by default the report will print one report per student for the whole test. Selecting "Part level report" will print a report for each student for each part of the assessment. Selecting "Test and part level" will print both a report for each part and for the whole test for each student.
- Topic nesting levels to display - if an assessment uses nested topics, you can choose which level of the topic hierarchy to display. For example, you might view broad curriculum areas at Level 1 or more specific topics at Levels 2 and 3.
- Topics - this selector enables you to choose which topics you would like to include in the report. Note that removing topics will also remove any associated questions in the Questions section.
- Sections - the report is made up of 2 sections: "Section 1 - topics", "Section 2 - questions". This selector enables you to choose which section(s) you would like to include in the report.
- Averages to display - this determines the average columns that are shown in section 1 AND section 2. Note the "School Average" is the average achieved by students within the school; the "Cohort Average" is the average achieved by students in either the global sample for a partner assessment, or within the MAT for a custom MAT assessment.
- Question identifier to display - choose how questions are displayed. You can display either the question number or the question name used within the assessment.
- Section 2 details - choose which information is displayed for each section in the analysis. Select All details to show every available field, or customise the view by selecting only the information you want to display, such as Topic, Potential Marks, Score or School and Cohort Average.
- Section 2 questions to include - this selector enables you to choose whether you would like to include all questions in the report or only the incorrect questions.
- Result format - by default values in the report are displayed as percentages, this can be changed to numbers if required.
- Page layout - select either "Portrait" (default) or "Landscape".
