In the fourth meeting, I learned
about assessment. There was a general course with guest lecturer at that time.
Before coming to the class, there was a grouping arrangement. The group was
combined from section H, G, and from 2012 cohort. I thought it would be
interesting if we learned the course in a group like that. I thought it would
be more fun and understandable. When coming to the class, I expected a lot of
things related to effective assessment. I expected the kinds of assessment that
will suit and good for our students. Honestly, I am not a person who really
care of assessment method that will be effective. Previously, I simply thought
that I should more focus on the content and pedagogy in teaching. However, now
I understand that I should also pay attention to the assessment since it is
also important to know. Assessment itself can be used for various things, it
can be used to measure our students understanding, and it also can be a method
of evaluation for us as a teacher whether our teaching already effective or
not.
From the course, I learned that
there is summative assessment and formative assessment. Based on my
understanding, summative assessment is the assessment that based on content. It
could be done to really measure our students understanding. This kind of assessment
is really good to be done by teacher. This assessment can be done every end of
one topic or material that being discussed. The second assessment is more to
reflection method. This is the assessment that used to push our students to
learn more and to know the attitude of our students toward our teaching method.
However, I did not really understand
about strategies of assessment. I feel confuse because it seems like the
lecturer feel a bit worry because of the time factor. It made me a little bit
hard to catch the content of the assessment.
I think, the previous session was
quite interesting because we work in group. Group work always made me curious
on what to do because it must be interesting and fun. However, there are some
times when I still feel sleepy because the lecturer’s voice is too soft and slow.
It made me a little bit boring and sleepy. I hope I could learn more about the assessment
because I want to make myself realize that I should not only pay attention to the
main activity of teaching but also how to measure my students’ understanding
with effective assessment.

hi erma! Bingo to me that you were sleepy during the activity at that time. I recognized it from your dark aura. hahaha..
BalasHapusEr, I got from your writing that you are separating pedagogy and assessment, is it?
I think assessment is a part of pedagogy itself..
I think... still need confirmation from the expert.. XD
about the part that you haven't understood yet, I think if you read carefully to the presentation from Bu Warih that Ms. Ine sent through our e-mail you will see a white light about it.. ;)
as always, your writing is simple and understandable! even there's still a very small mistakes.. like, "grouping arrangement", I think it supposed to be "group arrangement". eheee..
hwaiting !! b^0^d
Nice reflection Rema :D, I think this is a good reflection, it is not too long and understandable. I can understand clearly about the reflection.
BalasHapusPerhaps I want to add a suggestion, I think your reflection will be perfect if you use grammar structure consistently. When I read your reflection, I still found some sentences which use grammar inconsistently, for example this sentence “I think, the previous session was quite interesting” it will be better if you use one grammar structure “simple past tense” because you want to express the past event. Overall your reflection is good. . Keep writing. . ^___^ . . Just feel free to remind me if I was wrong. . hehehe. .
