Assessment

The last meeting of Principle of Effective Teaching and Assessment (PETA) was about assessment. After making six reflective journals, finally this is the last part of it. Actually I am happy when writing E-Reflection as my assignment because it can help me to share what I have got for my Lecturer to measure whether I understand or not. When I wanted to share something but I could not say to my lecturer that was the using of E-Reflection Journal for me to convey my feeling or idea. It also could help my lecturer to know what I feel and what I need so that’s why she could help me to solve my problem in understanding about the lesson.
I do love the previous meeting of PETA class because I could share or convey my idea to my class. Recently, I have bravery to deliver my idea in front of the class. I was happy about it. Moreover, it has been supported by the lecturer. I am a type of person who is spirit if some people give motivation to me. Thus, it gives bad influence for my personality.
The last meeting, we learnt about assessment, it really helped me as a candidate of teacher to know what assessment is and types of assessment and also why assessment supports teaching and learning process. The part that I love the most is when we shared our opinion about the answers of the lecturer questions which have been written in a paper. There was a question which asked our opinion about the assessment in PETA course and I took the chance to answer it. I answer the question confidently that the assessment in PETA course is complete. It includes the five skills, for example reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Why did I said like that because the lecturer gave me reading material, asked me to write reflection journals, asked me to share or present the material and we have to listen the lecturer explanation or our friends when they are presenting. I do agree with miss Ine’s statement that assessment is effective when it is given feedback from the lecturer or teacher. It could be my reference for my next teaching students to be.
By writing the reflection journal, I can share my idea and problems which have to be solved together. Actually there still so many things that I want to share after studying PETA. Yet, this is the last reflective, I cannot share anymore after next meeting to my lecturer. I also do not forget to say thanks to Miss Ine again and again who always gives me feedback after writing the reflection journal. It really helps me to improve my writing skills. Once more I say, thank you Miss.
