4th reflection PETA - Mustika Hati

            In the previous meeting of PETA, there was a general course with guest lecturer, Ibu Warih Wijayanti, from Madaniyah School. She taught about Assessment. Before coming to the class miss Ine already divided us into small group that consist of four people and I learnt in some  group with Geby, Sinta and Ponco.

Based on my understanding, assessment is a kind of tools to assess the students and I should pay attention to the assesment since it is important to know. According to Wiggins and Mc Tighe, effective assessment is like a scrapbook than a single shot. It means that the teacher have to assess the students based on the whole process in learning using a variety of formats and methods. Assessment itself divided into two, summative and formative assesment which can be used to measure our students understanding and it can be as reflection also.

            Based on my understanding summative assement  has low feedbacks possibility and can be done at the end of learning process. On the other hand, feedbacks are the most important parts in formative assements and it can be done along the learning process and it is not merely the scores.

            I think, the previous meeting was quite interesting because we work in group and I also could study with 2012 cohort. Group work always made me curious on what to do because it must be interesting and fun. However, there are some times when I felt sleepy because the lecturer’s voice is too soft and slow. I hope I could learn more about the assessment.

            This session was really fulfilled my expectation. I could learn a lot of things about assesment. My expectation for the next meeting is, I can present my group lesson plan well and learn new many things again.
