Assessment. What is in your mind when you hear assessment?
Yup, that is what I have learn last week. Its question is also asked by Mam Lidya for us at the opening of class.

Before, when I hear assessment, I always imagine about test, score, examination, rubric, etc. I think it is similar to evaluation that aimed to measure students' comprehension. But, after having discussion and getting more explanation from Mam Lidya about what assessment in the classroom is, I know that both are different but very related.

Assessment is more about measuring the learning process included students' comprehension, the effectiveness of instruction by using so many ways. It can be an observation, quiz, game, open question, etc. While Evaluation, lies at the end of process it self. It is more about grading the learning result by using test or examination as a concrete proof that the examination can be designed as creative as possible. Like what my lecturer often do at SSE examination.

Why did I say that both are very related? Because by doing assessment intensively, as a teacher we know what we have to do next, what we can do for enhance students' comprehension to reach the goals or objectives of learning by getting a good score in evaluation process

That is my reflection for this week. Can't wait for study more about making effective assessment on the next session. I want to make an assessment that can stimulate their critical thinking to develop their ideas in fulfilling the goals and objectives of learning.

Thank You
