Assessment

          

                Last week in the class PETA we learn about assessment again, but it was interesting. We know that assessment is important for us as a teacher in the future to assess our students.  In this course we learn about the domain of classroom assessment. There are cognitive, affective, and psycho motor assessments. I think three of them are important to use by the teacher because as a teacher we can not assess our students based only their cognitive person, but also from the value of their affective and psycho motor. How the students was talking to the teachers and their friends, their habitual, and the other. I think it has to assess by teacher.

                When we talk about cognitive, affective, and psycho motor it was remembering me when I was in the Junior High School. In my school the teacher use most of them to assess the students. In my school the value of cognitive person is the second to be assessed. The firs is affective the students, it can be consideration has the students pass or not their graduate is. In my school the characteristics of students is more important to be attention by students because my teacher said “If their attitude is good to the teacher and they have fun with their teachers, then they can easy to learn about the lesson”. In the school the relationship between students, teacher, and parents is very near.  Do you agree with my Junior High School?

                It can be my experience that never forgotten by me because I really felt the relation between teacher and students that very near, like mother to their children. I will do that when I’m to be a teacher in the next future, but we did not forget how to assess our students. In the class PETA last week we also learn about kind of assessment. There are portfolio, checklist, anecdotal record, and grading. Unfortunately, we can not discuss about that. In my team we discuss about anecdotal record. I think it was interesting. The teacher knows more about the students, and their improvement in the learning process. To assess the students, the teacher list what the students said, and then the teacher gives feed back to them. It is like Miss Puti do in the class UET. I like this way to assess the students because we are really know our mistakes when speaking in English.

                In this class I learn more about assessment. As a teacher we did not only planning lesson plan, teach, and give more test, but also after test we have to look the result of students,  then test again and give feedback. It is remembering me when I did the portfolio assessment when learn about IELL 2 by Miss Susi. She always gives feedback to us when do it, and I’m very proud of whom because she gives feedback personally, one by one. Then, the second, third, and the next portfolio she gave feed back in our paper. It makes me happy because I know that my tasks have been read.    It can be my experience that gives feedback can make students feel happy.

                I want to say Love you and thank you for PETA class that make me understand what I have to do in the class when I teach, especially about effective teaching and assessment. Thank you for all that have been learn with me and we share about the lesson. Thank you Miss Mima ^^
