Your Reflections
1. Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about
the importance in the use of appropriate assessment
methods in the classroom, including what students and
teachers can gain from appropriate assessment tools. Share
your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
Assessment is really helpful not only for the teacher but especially for the
students. Assessment is really important for the teacher to know if the learners
really understand the lesson. In assessing, teacher must use appropriateness of
choosing what method he/she will use not only to enhance the knowledge and
skills of the students but also to prevent biases and unfairness for the students.
Choosing the right assessment method will reinforce the strengths of the learners
and develop their weaknesses. Use of variety of assessment method must use to
cope the different abilities of the learners.
