My reflection.

 

Greetings guys!

This is my reflection about our Learning assessment course.

During the course I understood that assessment happens every moment and it is a complex process that I as a future teacher have to develop in the communicative competence context.

This process of assessment involves several concepts that help their construction as Summative and Formative assessment. Those are the main types and points in assessment, also these types of assessment have sub-topics like rubrics, portfolios and concept maps which a base of Formative assessment and test, the base of Summative assessment.

Every topic in this course was interesting because I had no idea of what was assessment but by developing each topic now I have a new view of what my teachers had been evaluating and what they must do now.

Another thing that I want to comment is that the most difficult and incomplete experience of this course was and is developing a test. I thought that develop a test was just to take many topics of the program and make exercises base on these (I was laughing about this opinion). Now I know that develop a test is to take into account specifications for each skill (listening, speaking, reading and writing) by specification I mean state the content, types of items, timing and the most important what I want to measure. When my classmate and I were developing our test we started doing the test instead of test specification.

Group work is a concept that we listen all the time, in this course most of the time we were working in group and it was a good experience because everybody collaborate with tasks like create a speaking activity and develop a test. Sometimes work in group is a mess and in my opinion it happens because members of a group do not have a responsibility in charge.

In conclusion this Learning assessment was completely helpful for me, now I know what I must do with my future students how I have to teach and assess them whit these new features.

Thank you teacher and classmate to share this course and experiences with me!
