Today was the last meeting of this year, I learnt many things
on that day. It was about the test, it consists of assessment and evaluation.
Actually it was not really new thing that I learnt, because the material ever
taught by a guest lecturer, she is Ms. Warih. When I joined on general class, I
only learnt the test based on the huge part. I thought new things which I
learnt today were about the effectiveness of the test, model of assessment, the
element and domain of assessment. The class activity on that day was about
group work and presenting the result of group discussion.
The parts which I understood clearly on that day were about
all of the material which was given by the lecturer except the affect of
assessment in the students’ motivation. Based
on my understanding assessment is a tool to measure the students’
understanding. The assessment will be effective if complete the criteria such
as validity, reliability. The validity means that the assessment must be
appropriate and related between the tool and the students who want to assess by
the teachers. Then the reliability means the consistency of assessment which is
used to assess the students. The next material about the model of assessment,
those are conventional and standard based. Both of them are available to be
used, but it depends on the students and the situation. Assessment has element
and domain. The elements of assessment are purpose, measurement, technique of
the teachers, and the process of doing assessment. Those parts are really
important, because when the teachers want to conduct the assessment, they have
to know about the purpose and the steps to do that. The domains of assessment consists
of cognitive, affective, and phycomotoric. Assessment is not only about paper
and pencil, so it consists of many domains here.
The part which I did not understand was about the motivation
of assessment, I tried to understand about that but it was really hard. The motivation
divides to be some points, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. I found the
difficulty when I clarified my understanding. I think I need much of reading
the material, so I can achieve my understanding about the material. I think it
was also my bad, because before joining the class I did not read the material
first. Perhaps for the next meeting, I will read the material first before
joining the class. So I a bit build my schemata about the material.
I thought the class activity today was interesting, because
the activity attracted me to be spirit students. Actually the class activity
was about group discussion and presenting about the result like usual. The
interesting one was when my lecturer ask us to count one up to five, I got
number one. I was the same group with Mamal, Nawan, Rema, Ais and Ayash. It was
interesting session I thought, because in that session I could share and get
the knowledge and understanding from my classmate. It was really awesome, my
friends could share about their understanding about the material.
I think the material which I learnt today is really meaningful
for me as teacher candidate. I think assessment is one of the most important
things which I really need for my future teaching. Thought the assessment I can
know about my students’ understanding, whether they understand or not with the
material which I gave to them. I think assessment also can be the reflection
for the teachers because the effectiveness of teaching can be seen from the
result of students’ test. Learning about the variety of assessments is really
helpful for me as teacher candidate, because that knowledge will help me a lot.
I understand that the students are different each other, so the variety of
assessment are really important to support my students in my future.
I thought today I did not complete my expectation, because I
still found the blank when I learnt the material. For the next meeting, I
expect that I can join in the online class meeting. Actually it will be hard
for me, because I will be at my hometown.
