JOURNAL ENTRY

What have been the most powerful insights for me about student assessment?
 The theories I have learned in my subjects serves as a guide in the actual field of assessing the students
in the future. It facilitates learning and improving instructions in the teaching environment. It assign report card
grades; grades provide parents, employers, other schools, governments, post-secondary institutions and others
with summary information about student learning. Students will be motivated and confident learners when they
experience progress and achievement, rather than the failure and defeat associated with being compared to
more successful peers.

REFLECTIVE QUESTION
1. How do the theories I have learned in any subjects relate to the learning environment practice on
assessment?
 It is important to distinguish between two major uses of assessment. The first, formative assessment,
involves the use of assessments (usually administered in the context of the classroom) as sources of feedback to
improve teaching and learning. The second, summative assessment, measures what students have learned at
the end of some set of learning activities. Examples of formative assessments include teachers’ comments on
work in progress, such as drafts of papers or preparations for presentations. Examples of summative assessments
include teacher-made tests given at the end of a unit of study and state and national achievement tests that
students take at the end of a year. Ideally, teachers’ formative and summative assessments are aligned with the
state and national assessments that students take at the end of the year; often, however, this is not the case.
Issues of summative assessment for purposes of national, state, and district accountability are beyond the scope
of this volume; our discussion focuses on classroom-based formative and summative assessments.

2. What procedures and systems of assessment do I feel best enhance student learning? Why?
Performance assessment is the best assessment to enhance student learning. Performance
assessment requires students to demonstrate their knowledge, skills, and strategies by creating a response or a
product, rather than choosing from several multiple-choice options, students might demonstrate their literacy
abilities by conducting research and writing a report, developing a character analysis, debating a character's
motives, creating a mobile of important information they learned, dramatizing a favourite story, drawing and
writing about a story, or reading aloud a personally meaningful section of a story.
Beside of authentic assessment, traditional assessment is also important for me in enhancing the student
learning because we need also a written test for the learners. Thus, a teacher does not have to choose between
authentic assessment and traditional assessment. It is likely that some mix of the two will best meet our needs.

3. How can I keep learning about assessment?

 A person cannot keep learning about assessment. However, a student can participate in classroom
that use assessment for learning techniques. These techniques show students what they are supposed to be
learning for any given chapter or unit being discussed on a particular subject. The teacher will start off the unit
by determining what they student or students already know, and correct anything that student had remembered
incorrectly. As more information is learned through the unit being presented, the teacher will access how much
a student or students are picking up, and help them decide what else needs to be learned.
