When we were in High school, we don't even know what is assessment of learning all about. We just only take exams not only for our grades but also for our performance if we have achieve and understand the topics that was given by the teacher. We have just a little knowledge about the types of knowledge because we have encountered it during our elementary and high school days. As we have tacked the different assessment of learning we undergone difficulties because we haven't encountered in our previews subjects. As we go on the topic that we have, now we understand why there are so many different types of evaluation and assessment that the teachers given to the students. It's all about how the students perform in the class and how they acquire learning. Assessment is all about gathering, describing or quantyoungmentors.blogspot.comifying information about the student performance. Including paper and pencil test, and giving some essays for extended responses. And now we understand on how the teachers interprets the students performance in the relation to classroom instruction. There are two ways in how they interprets the students performance. The norm-referenced test and the criterion-referenced test. The norm-referenced test is a test design to measure the performance of a student compare with other students. The purpose of this is to rank each student with respect to the student achievement of others in broad areas of knowledge and to discriminate high and low achievers. While criterion-referenced test is a test design to measure the performance of the students with respect to some particular criterion or standard. The purpose of this is to determine whether each student has achieved specific skills or concepts.
Therefore, assessment of learning is very important to us as a future teacher because it plays a big role in assessing, evaluating, measuring and testing the student performance. It helps us to determine if the students have acquired the learning and develop their knowledge skills.
