The most important thing from activities in the class is assessment. This post I will share basic about assessment in the class. First we have to know essential of assessment. I will explain it with different way, I will provide questions and answers that will explain about assessment.
Why we do assessment?
- to measure students knowledge
- to know the skill that students have mastered it, and master it yet.
- to know how students to do the assignment, the processes to do it.
- to know their motivation ( we can do personal approach ).
Now you know why we have to do assessment because it is important to us to know better about our students, and we can give good feedback to develop students' ability.
What should we assess ?
- Students progress in learning.
- Students' work step by step ( final assessment at the end ).
What kind of assessment ?
- Day to day observation, it something like personal observation. We can observe not only in the class but also outside the class.
- Pencil and paper test/quiz, traditional assessment, bu sometime it works well.
- Rubrics, this is the most fair assessment, because students can develop their work based on the rubrics and teacher assess objectively.
- Project work, this belong to product assessment, students have to make a product.
- Portofolio, teacher know it better.
Assessment not only for teacher but also for students (peer assessment) better if we provide the rubric, so the students can assess objectively.
The last, what will we do after we did assessment?
- Use it to make future lesson plan.
- Improve our teaching skills.
- Focus to the students' strength and weakness.
- Report to the parent and the school.
