7th Reflection-Assessment

This meeting is the last meeting of PETA in this year. In this last meeting, I learned about test, evaluation and assessment. Actually, those are not really new for me. In the previous meeting I also learnt about assessment with the guest lecturer. However, there are some new part about test and assessment that I got from this meeting. I learnt about assessment deeply, it was about effectiveness of the test, model of assessment, the element and domain of assessment. In this meeting Ms Ine divided the class into some groups, then we did group discussion and share the discussion with the other friends.

After getting explanation from my friends, I got a lot of new knowledge about assessment. Almost of the material that presented by my friends is understandable. I really understood the material about model of assessment. At the first, I thought that the model of assessment are summative and formative assessment like what I learned before. but, I was wrong, the model of assessment here are conventional model and standard-based model. Based on the discussion with my friends and my understanding, the pattern of conventional model is the first the teacher plan an instruction before teaching, then after teaching the teacher directly give the assessment or measure the understanding of the students and grading. There is no reflection in this model. The examples of this model are multiple choice and short essay assessment. The differentiation of conventional and standard based model is on the interaction between the students and teacher. There is an interactive between the students and teacher, but in conventional model is not. Actually, there is no good and bad one of model assessment. It depends on the context and situation, sometimes we as a teacher candidate also needs conventional model to assess our students.

            This meeting was very interesting and meaningful for me as a teacher candidate. I learned a lot about assessment as a provision for my future. Honestly, I did not really like this topic, always monotone and boring. However, I realize that as a teacher candidate this topic is really useful for me. I do not want to be bad teacher, I do not want my students do not like my way to assess them because I ever in felt in their position as a students. That is why I try to enjoy the class and serious in getting the material. The result was so amazing, I felt interesting in scrutinize the material. I got my expectation to enjoy the class. Thank you friends, thank you Bu Ine.. Have a nice holiday then J
