Module 4
Activity 4A and 4B Reflection
Assessment is a very
vital element in the learning process so teachers need to be aware of the
different diversity that exists in relation to assessment procedures and
methodologies. As teacher we need to be aware of the different learners we
encounter on a daily basis, and what suitable methods that can be utilize to
integrate Information and Communication and Technology in assessment, or which
devices are most suitable for the activities you have to conduct, also we need
to be aware of the different skills that will be assess and reasons why we are
assessing these skills etc. Even though the
activities constituted a lot of reading the information received provided a meaningful
insight to me. Some of the information was previous knowledge to me while
other were new or shed new light in the
way I looked at the information previously.
I was particularly interested
in the aspect which dealt with the theory of multiple intelligence by Gardner.
Also the guidelines provided demonstrated to teachers more constructivist
methods or approaches of assessment they can follow for e.g. group
assessment, self assessment and peer assessment, summative and formative
assessment. I found the information on the types of peer assessment to be
very useful to me.
The activities comprised
of two sections where five(5) Information
and communication Technology standards were compose and a set of assessment
guidelines for assessment were develop after which colleagues provide immediate
feedback on what we have presented.
With the information
gained so far from this module I will definitely put it into practice.
