My Reflective Journal

I feel so amaze when I realize that the new trends of classroom assessment are now using more on the authentic assessment than merely conventional assessment. These assessments are realistic and requires student to perform, create and produce outputs based on their learning.

The teacher uses portfolio to document or showcase students works, test results and any other outputs that measures student’s strengths and weaknesses in a particular subject matter. It is basically a modern way of assessing student’s learning that requires interaction, performance and productions.

I really felt the importance of authentic assessment as we interviewed the teacher. It really gives her benefits in assessing students learning. She comfortably uses this technique to avoid bias in evaluating her students.

The gains enjoyed by the teacher and her students from using authentic assessment are the exposure of the students in actual activities, the teacher’s learning of her students not only in the academic field but also to the things applied in real-life situations. The teacher was able to extend her knowledge through organization and socialization, to make the assessment more accurate and reliable and develop teacher’s strength in creating and implementing assessment tools.

The part of the teacher’s use of authentic assessment I feel like improving or revising is the way the delivery of instruction is done and the great participation of the students which helps teachers assess their students learning.
