Assessment is Very Important

At the school in advance or even now, what do you guys think when they hear the word test? Dizziness? Headache? Confused what to do? And what do you imagine when they hear the word test? Problems that are difficult? The value to be achieved? Study until late at night? And so forth? The things is exactly what I think of when hearing the word test. What about you?

As prospective teachers, when talking about the test then it will be related to the assessment because the test is one way to take an assessment of the student. Learn and discuss with professors and friends, I get a lot of lessons about assessment. During my first school, the assessment is a very scary because everything we have learned will be assessed by tests conducted by the teacher to find out how our understanding of the lessons that have been given by the teacher. And the test is to determine an absolute value of the students in the learning process.

 after I learned about and discuss in class MAP assessment, there are many ways to assess students, not only using a test / exam only to students because when teachers do a lot of assessments and by using many ways, teachers can better know / control the detailed understanding of each each student so that students' understanding of assessment of a teacher is not considered something that scary anymore.

In making or regulate the process of assessment of students effectively, we as a prospective teacher must also consider the methods of valuation that we use, whatever the value of the student teacher can be, and how to cover all students to know each student's understanding. This is what needs to be considered by a teacher. Where to take the assessment, a teacher must prepare the rubric-assessment rubric that teachers can focus on what will be assessed from a student. And make judgments in various ways, for example: assessment of student activity in class, group work assessment, pre-test, post test, and so forth. Of them that can be used to assess students. So that students do not think that the test / exam is their absolute value in the learning process (something that is scary).

The most important thing in the assessment is that teachers can see the extent to which students' understanding in teaching and learning, the teacher can see whether the learning undertaken to achieve goals or not, and as a teacher evaluation in teaching and learning, as well as a benchmark for subsequent learning activities.

So, the assessment is important in teaching and learning activities.
