My Refection

            One year we did not meet each other, of course with PETA class. What do you say to your friends? Say hello, hi or how are you? How if in PETA class you got a question do you still remember what we learned in the last meeting PETA class? Actually, two weeks is a long time. So, do you still remember with the material? We should still remember, right?

            One of activity in last meeting PETA course before New Year holiday we discussed about tools of formative assessment in group such as anecdotal records, checklists, rating scales, portfolio, etc. But we have not shared to each other. So, when we meet again we review about that material. Actually I interest about rating scales. When Wirman said that rating scale not fair and can make decrease students motivation to get perfect score because they are just need to get the standard score. Yes sometime and some students think like that and that is one of the weakness rating scales. But as student I think we do not think like that. We learn for get the knowledge not to get the standard or high score. So whatever pettern of assessment we must try to do the best.

            After we reviewed and discussed about tools formative assessment we discussed about rubric. Like we know rubric can we use to assess students objectively not subjectively. One of activity in our last meeting is make a rubric. Actually not easy to make rubric although make it in group, but I still confused to make characteristics of criteria. I think everyone can not directly make a perfect something like rubric, but I believe occationaly we practice it can make our skill increase.

So, if we have a good rubric that can assess objective correctly it can make easy to give score or result for our students.
