About Assessment


Last meeting of PETA before midterm test was very special. We had a guest lecturer, Ibu Warih, to share us more about Assessment. in a big class, we were divided into more than 10 groups. Each group consisted of 4 students. This is our first time also to be in a class with 2012 cohort. It was so nice.

We discussed about the general definition of Assessment, the specification, and the tools of assessment itself. To assess our student is not as easy as I thought before. I do understand in the explanation of what assessment is, the type, and the function. I just knew that assessment is only a result of student’s work and it is served by number of score. Assessment is an important part of our teaching.

I still need to improve my understanding about the tools of assessment. It is because the time limited us to explain about that. I want to know deeper about rubric, and his friends. It is so important to know about that. They are the things that we need to complete our assessment. They help us also to make a good standard of measurement of our students’ work.

No doubt anymore, the class with Ibu Warih was so interesting. We were grouped and we had our own jobdesk In group. My job was as a leader of group. I had to ensure that other part of job did well. We also had a presentation of our finding about the definition of formative and summative assessment. Then, we had an observation toward the two groups of our friend and criticize the differences.

It is important to teacher candidate to understand well the whole thing about assessment. as I stated before, we can’t separate assessment with our teaching. We need to sharpen our assessment tool to make our best assessment. Assessment is not only in the end of lesson. When the process of learning, it also a good time for us as a teacher to assess our students.

My expectation is reached in this session. I got a wide knowledge about assessment. I also learn much about the thing we need as a teacher candidate to prepare our assessment. I also had my chance to observe some questions from the general assessment like ICAS.

I hope, in the next session I can get the more complete and detail about the new knowledge of teaching.
