Assessment (FOR/ AS/ OF) Learning

Last week in PETA class, I have learned about assessment. There are 3 kinds of assessment, assessment of/ as/ for learning.  All of them should be applicable in the class. Actually, I got difficulties to find the differences between 3 kinds of assessment.
·         Assessment of learning
From discussion with my group in PETA class, I knew that assessment of learning just like evaluation. It is because this assessment can be applied at the end of the material. So, this assessment measure the students’ knowledge about the material.
·         Assessment as learning
This assessment tells about students’ ability. It is also on going process. So, teacher give feedback on learning process to the students and the students can reflect based on tecahers’ feedback and they also know how to be better. This assessment is not only about scoring but it also assess the students’ attitude etc.
·         Assessment for learning
Assessment for learning is almost same with assessment as learning, but this assessment is continuous. It means that the teacher give question or exercise that can measure the students’ knowledge about the material. And it is not only one time to give them exercise but it is also continuous until the end of the material.

As a future educator, I need to know about this material, assessment. Because, I should construct lesson plan for teaching. Teaching is not only about deliver the material, but I have to be responsible with my students’ comprehension. So, when I want to know about my students’ characteristics, I should use assessment as learning. But, when I want to know about my students’ ability, I should use assessment for learning, because from this assessment, I can know my students’ ability, is it growth or lower than before. And then, when I want to know whole of students’ knowlegde, I should use assessmet of learning.
