Why We Should Learn About Assessment?


What do you think about good assessment for our students later? Or just only assessment? I never think that assessment has many parts. And I should study about assessment. Because when I saw my teachers at junior or senior high school, I thought that become a teacher it is easy, every day teacher teach me and give me score is very simple. But in PETA class I get something new, very important part when teaching and learning process and also useful when we become a teacher later.
                Last week, I’m learning about A2FOL, anybody know what A2FOL is? A2FOL is Assessment As, for, and Of Learning. Honestly, it is my first time knows that assessment has many part. The part of assessment are aassessment as learning, assessment for learning, and assessment of learning. Using assessment of learning, we can know students abilities or understanding and in here teacher should assess students in fair. After that using assessment for learning, we can assess, give feedback to student about strength and weakness in a result, so the students can do better next time. And the last using assessment as learning, we can self assessment and peer assessment to assess students. From all assessment I knew that when makes assessment should in appropriate with students needed. I believe using three of them assessment can fulfill students needed.
                So, when we assess our students. Not only assess for measure understanding or ability students. But also we should make good, fair assessment. And in the assessment can measure, improve, develop, and motivate all ability or understanding students to be better. How we make assessment like that? Let’s study PETA and try to apply all lessons we get from all PETA class and another subject. Don’t forget to think out of the box, creative, innovative. Let’s keep spirit for new generation of teacher.

  3. good reflection silut,
    that's why we have to learn PETA because we will be a good educator not only in transfer knowledge but also to assess students' understanding.

    I don't know I will apply A2FOL or not because I not yet really understand, our lecturer didn't give us strength yet, but I know that we have to support our students to learn and be better, assessment is not for judge students are smart or stupid but for evaluation.

  4. same like asih, your A2FOL makes me easier to remember this topic. haha.

    Good reflection, and yeah, we finally know that assessment has so many function. one of them is to make me know about students' ability. by knowing that, we can give vary tasks that appropriate with their ability.

    by using vary task, that fulfill students' need, the assessment also be vary and it will be fair for them.
