Assessment purposes and processes

I’m sorry, because I’m very late to posting my reflection because my mother was sick, so I’m must  go back to my home town, no connection internet in my house and I couldn’t do anything . So that, last midnight I arrived to Jakarta.

In the last meeting, my class learnt about assessment again. At those meeting, each group discussed about different topic of assessment and after that we did 2 stay 2. In my reflection, I’ll share about the purposes and process of assessments.

As we know that assessment is an important thing in learning. So, we must know about what the purposes of assessment. It are planning for instruction, adjusting instruction, diagnosis, expertise and evaluating, and comparing. From the purposes, I concluded that assessment used before, during and after learning.

The processes of assessment are preparatory phase and do the assessment. In preparatory phase have 4 stages. First, we arrange the method, instrument, activities, type and evidence for learning. Second, discuss with other assessors if we have partner in our class. Third, discuss with learning facilitator if we didn’t do assessment in our class. And the fourth, decide on the timing of assessment. Whereas in the assessment has 3 stage. First, inform the learner about the requirement. Second, evidence collected and presented. And the third, explain roles and responsibilities of the learner.

The topic is very important to me as the next generation of teacher because assessment is a part of learning which help us to evaluate our learning.  I think is enough,, see you in next reflection........ J

e.Reflection of group 3 (Domains of Classroom Assessment)

My e.reflection for this episode will be discuss about domains of classroom assessment from group 3.
Actually when we talk about domains of assessment, unconsciously we ever heard it, do, and undergo it before at our school.
Domains of assessment itself consist of  cognitive, affective, and psycho-motor. This case we usually find in the raport.
When we talk about the cognitive, then we talk about how students think and their intelligence. Key words of this can refer to cognitive stages in Bloom's taxonomy, like knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation.
When we talk about the affective, then we talk about how students attitude, their emotion, and their feeling. Key words of this domain are receiving, responding, valuing, organizing, and characterizing
when we talk about the psycho-motor, then we talk about how students do, their skill, and their physical. Key words of this domain are imitation, manipulation, precision, articulation, and naturalization.
And I as a generation of teacher, I hope I can assessing my students well based on domains of assessment. 
I hope :)

A Brighter Insight, ^^

Last tuesday, I do the gallery walk to be explained about some topic of assessment and there is a topic that grabe my attention more. it is not because of the explanation, but it is because of the focused topic. The topic is about domains of classroom assessment. The poster displayed that there are 3 domains of classroom assessments, they are cognitive, affective and psychomotor. I just do realize that when we do the classroom assessment, it is not always about how to assess their knowledge, their comprehension or another their cognitive development. I was conciously reminded that there are affective and psychomotor categories that should be assessed too. The mastered knowledge, the deeply comprehension is nothing without the right purpose of its application and implementation which is in affective categories. The ability to respond a phenomena, the ability to give an appropriate value of some issues is also the important ability that should be undertaken in classroom assessment. We can not generalize that students who have deeply comprehension and able to make a new pattern and solution, are the best learner because there are others categories that should be noticed.

Reflection about Our Activity (2 Stay 3 Stray)

Well,, I am sorry for late to publish my reflection because i was confuse about the topic which I got. But, after i read in internet (goggling), i was understand about the topic. Well, I will explain my reflection about the domain of assessment.

Assessment have 3 domain for assess students, there are cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. We have know about what is assessment. It must assess students in cognitive aspect. It means when we as teacher want to assess students, we must make that assessment tools to assess their understanding (cognitive), like paper and pencil test, group presentation, etc. After that, in assess students we must look their attitude not only their self but also interaction to another students and teacher. The last one is psychomotor, it assess their skill such as when students make a presentation, students who have art skill, they will give their idea to make their presentation to be good.

But, that is important thing about that domain, its must make students' ability (skill) must improve in that domain (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor) because one student and another students have different characteristics. It have done with me when I school in Senior High School. The teacher have more than one assessment tools to assess our based on our skill.

The Element of Classroom Assessment

The Element of Classroom Assessment

Here is my reflection about our last meeting..

Firstly, I want to reflect our presentation last day. It was interesting discussion because we have made a poster and then told to another friend about the materials. I can improve my self in delivering the main idea in poster.

As we knew, the element assessment in the class is not only paper and pencil test which commonly happened in several school. The measurement is presentation, worksheet, experiment, etc. the purpose of the assessment it self is depend on the aspect of assess in place. The criteria of the characteristic which assess are the main point to determine the assessment that is used. For example, the vocational school is needed the student potential and also want to be. But we are familiar to face the test from kindergarten until now as student in university. So, the function of assessment is to be feedback tool or evaluation in every process of teaching and learning. So, the use of assessment for diagnoses or grade the result of understanding levels the students.

Many old teacher have used this but for the teacher in the future is the assessment have to be assess the all of multiple intelligent of the student who different each other. But they are has same right to develop their skill and also potency in school.

That’s all my reflection

Thank you

Hello guys, back to reflection..

Last week we still study about assessment. Assessment is not as simple as I think before. Assessment is not only giving the test and take the score at the end of learning process. Assessment is on going process that we can measure to know the progress of student comprehension and skill.

It is accordance to explanation from group 4 that present about assessment in the context of instruction. There are two type of assessment. Conventional model and Standard Based Model.

Conventional Model is assessment that only held on the end  of learning process. Most of old teacher often use  this kind of assessment. This kind of assessment is of course not effective to be applied in teaching and learning process because we can not measure the progress and development of students' comprehension and skill. We only measure whether the goal of learning is reached or not without concern about the process how we facilitate students to reach the goal of learning process itself.

And Standard Based Model is assessment that held on before, during and after the learning process. I think this is the real meaning of assessment. Assessment not only measured the result of learning process. We also have to concern about the process. How we facilitate the students in reaching the goals by instruction method and media that we use in teaching and learning. As a teacher we also can measured about the effectiveness of our instruction, so we can choose the most appropriate instruction for our students based on their characteristic. We also can see the progress of students' comprehension and skill, if there is any student who does not show positive progress, we can do reflection about our instruction and choose what we will do next to solve this problem.

That's all my reflection for this week ^^,

“Assessment is not only about the score”

PPRI No 19 In 2005 NSP Pasal 1 ayat 17 show that Assessment  is a activity that search, collect, and processing the information to achieve the aims of learning process.  And then the part of assessment are test, evaluation, measurement, and score.

In school,  we look that teacher’s only give assessment in test or show in score mostly.  Usually, the process of that start with teacher give explain and example, after that he/she give the exercise, and next give the score of exercise. So, in here can we look that mostly the teacher that asses students based on score, but can’t the learning process. if this case continue in school, teacher don’t know about the student development or students understanding

For  example, there is my friend did chit when we were senior high school. Finally She got the good score. But one day, she asked by teacher to solve the exercise, but she can’t  answer. So we can get conclusion that get the high score is not mean teacher know about the students understanding.  Because of that, teacher has to make a strategy to make assessment become activity that on going process. in asses, teacher is not only focus in score, but the process from the first until the end. So, it can help for teacher to develop and make them more understanding when teacher know what are needed by students.

Teacher can make a learning process that creative, asses is not only paper and pencil test, but it can show by presented, exhibition, focus group discussion, or quiz in run robin, etc.  Instead of that the evaluation is important to do, because it can help us to do better activity, asses , find innovation to make way of teaching. So, if teacher can asses students based on process student development, teacher can help students to motivate or keep spirit, because the asses is not only about the score.
