Reflection 5

The fifth week of our lecture session is where we are discussing about test construction, multiple-choice test and also competency assessment.  These topics are elaborated where all of them is really important in constructing children's development. We were told how to construct a test by their categories which are fill in the blank, match the Alphabets or Numbers to the picture, true or false and essay.

Next, the lecturer ask us about formative and summative assessment. By the notes that I have written, formative assessment is for learning. It is taken at varying intervals throughout a course to provide information and feedback that will help improve the quality of student learning and course itself. Next, summative assessment is also for learning. It is generally taken by students at the end of a unit or semester to demonstrate the sum of what they have or have not learned. The methods of summative assessment are the most traditional way of evaluating student work.

By this lecture session, I understand that student should share what they learned towards their peers. It is important to make the teachers' sampling went well and ease them to record the children's development in  a time. Moreover, the development of the children themselves will be meaningful when they further their next stage of education. Thank You.
