My Reflection

            “For the next meeting we will learn about assessment” that is what Bu Mima said in previous meeting. After we try to do assessment in our meeting, last meeting we learn about assessments as, for and of learning. If I interpret the meaning of each title I can get a basic assumption that assessment as learning, assessment for learning and assessment of learning are relevance with teaching and learning process. Firstly hear about that I did not know what the differences among three of them are. So I guess that I will hard for me to understand about that because I think the purpose is same.

            First activity Bu Mima gave us article about assessment as learning. Honestly I did not focus read my article maybe was because I was tired or because I was bored about my article, it is only contain some quotes. However I tried to understand the content of that article.  Unfortunately I only understood one quote about assessment as learning that is how the students do self-assessment and pair-assessment and even after Bu Mima explained about it and I did group discussion I still confused.

            When reading the material about assessment as learning I did not focus and still confused. When read the second material which is about assessment for learning I was more focus so can get the point. I was always hesitant when reading article or anything in English language. I afraid I will misunderstand the content and I could not get the same point with other. I like assessment for learning, because that is continuity so the students and teacher can review and make reflection for the next meeting.

             All of members in my group read about assessment for learning so Wirman from the other group explained to us about assessment of learning. If I was not mistaken Wirman said that assessment of learning is about how teacher make a plan for the future assessment based on the characteristic of students in the classroom. So I conclude that assessment is teacher activity to make strategies and design the activities in learning process. So this assessment happens before teacher starts the lesson.

However when I found the website which list the differences between assessments of, as and for leaning I read that assessment of learning happen in the end of learning process. That is make me confuse I do not know about when is the assessment of learning happen. However, I am sure that assessments of, as, and for learning happen during teaching and learning process.

After our activities in last meeting I found out that it is not difficult to differentiate between those assessments. However certain I must learn more about that. The last as I know if I want to understand the material during the class I must focus to the lesson.  :)
