Reflection what I have
learned from my friends had presentation about assessment and
testing on 21July 2014. Assessment and testing is among an instructor’s most
essential educational tools. Teachers who develop useful assessments, designing
corrective testing, and give students second chances to demonstrate success can
improve their instruction and help students learn.
They
talk about assessing and testing. Assessment has 8 types such as formative,
summative, informal, diagnostic, placement, progress, achievement and proficiency.
Although as teacher we sometimes feel that we don’t have a lot of influence on
the design of public exams, we often find ourselves writing process and
achievement test. Basis of designing and making test, First, decide on our
assessment criteria. Second, test need to have validity. Third, list exactly
what it is we want to measure. Forth, decide on the balance of items in a test.
Fifth, have to be extremely carful to write Rubric. Last one, give theme to
colleague or student to try out. Direct and indirect are 2 types of test item. Direct
test items based on 4 macro skill as speaking, listening, reading and writing.
An indirect test items have 8 kinds as gap fills, cloze, multiple choice,
true/false, jumbled sentence, sentence transformation, proofreading and
matching. And another thing that's important is rubric. Rubric is a multi-purpose
scoring guide for assessing student products and performances. A rubric
involves 4 components; task description, scale, dimensions and description of dimensions.
In
conclusion, assessments and testing as tools for accountability and measure the
knowledge and ability of students. Moreover, the assessments and testing can be
a vital component in our efforts to improve education.
