My Reflection

Dhevin Jan L. Murillo BEED-SpEd 3x2 Reflection Choosing an appropriate assessment tools for assessing student’s learning is really an important one. I agree with the statement or from the answers of our interviewed teachers. I also agree in the quotation “Appropriateness in the use of any method of assessment is an indispensable principle of fair assessment practices”. Fair assessment is the center-point of the statement. Without fairness, the evaluation of teachers about students learning in different areas will be erroneous misleading and unfair. There should be a combination of subjective and objective judgment in order to have a better evaluation. You must consider that you are assessing the whole class and not only one child. With that it is important the teacher is creative and flexible. Creative in a way that he can modify the test for better understanding of the takers. Flexible in a way that he can accept all the responses of his students. Evaluating a child is not a joke and is not an easy job. You must take extra care in choosing what would be a suitable assessment tools for them. It should be a tool that will measure the child’s learning and not on what he is memorizing.
