Reflection PETA in week 10th

In last week meeting, Ms Tika taught us about effective assessment. There are many types of assessment, and we learned how to choose appropriate assessment. Assessment also useful to choose an instructional method that the teacher will use.

At the beginning, we did brainstorming together and class discussion. Every students thought, what are the purpose of doing assessment and how the assessment will achieve the learning objectives. In next activities, Ms Tika gave us two cases and we analyze it. The first case is a story about Nancy. Nancy is a teacher who her students feel unmotivated in class and their grades are low. Nancy think, what is wrong with her way of teaching. Then Nancy think that she have to change her way of assess her students, from the common type like multiple choice to do a presentation. the result shows that her students can perform better.

From Nancy case, we learned that the purpose of assessment includes, create an appropriate instructional method to achieve the learning objectives.

Second case is Devonne story. Devonne give students some exercises about prior knowledge her students. Devonne do repetition on giving exercises because she saw that her students not really understand about the material.

From Devonne case, we learned about the types of assessment and the time to use the assessment.

At the end of class, we did a group discussion to decide what are the characteristic of effective assessment

Well, this is my reflection, sorry if this reflection incomplete
