+ Assessment

In this post, we attach the slides which correspond to the videos for reflecting about the assessment for learning.




Vídeo 1

1. The way assessment for learning was delivered in the video.

In this video, teachers use the following ways of assess the learning:

* Peer assessment.

* Self-assessment.

* Teacher make questions to students.

2. The benefits this strategy had for the pupils in the lesson.

We believe that, self-assessment help students to reflect about their own learning. It is a key strategy to involve students in taking more responsibility for their own learning. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that it requires greater involvement by the teacher.

On the other hand, peer assessment can be considered part of peer tutoring. As with other forms of peer tutoring.

3. Any planning or resources that had been prepared by the teacher.

The resources that had been prepared by the teacher are: self-assessment sheet.

4. what ideas or thoughts the video has provoked for your own lessons.

We think that the teacher shouldn’t the only person that assess the process of teaching-learning but children have to be aware of their learning acquisition, for the learning be more effective.

 1.  The way assessment for learning was delivered in the video.
    
  In the video the teacher uses two different ways of assessment:

             * Peer assessment

             * Self assessment

 2.  The benefits this strategy had for the pupils in the lesson.

The children are more confident, responsible, and independent. They also realize what and why they are learning, and how they can improve it. Moreover, they can see what’s wrong and how they can correct their own mistakes.

 3. Any planning or resources that had been prepared by the teacher.

Traffic lights, they have a notebook with different traffic lights. The red means 'I understand this work. I think I am ready to move on'. The yellow means 'I understand some part of this. I would like more time to work on it. And the red says ‘ I found this very difficult to understand I would like more help with this’.

- Looking for mistakes of a reading.

 4.  what ideas or thoughts the video has provoked for your own lesson.

Not only the teacher is the factor of the class what have to evaluate the learning, also children can and have to reflect on their own learning because in this way they could look for strategies to improve their learning. On the other hand, if something goes wrong we can adapt our lesson, in order to make meaningful the teaching learning process.

1.  The way assessment for learning was delivered in the video.

In this video, teachers use three ways of assess the learning:


 Observation: teacher does this assessment when she observes how children reflect upon the     new knowledge that they have acquire.

*   Peer Assessment: it has to do with the assessment that the teacher does when she asks them in which way can improve the performance of their classmates.

* Self-assessment: in the video we can see this kind of assessment when children have to put their thumb up, medium or down depending of the difficult that the activity has for them.

2.  The benefits this strategy had for the pupils in the lesson.

In our opinion, with this strategy children can be aware of their teaching-learning process and reflect on it.


3. Any planning or resources that had been prepared by the teacher.

In this lesson, the teacher has considered a good resource bring to class a woman who represent the Queen, when children ask her the questions, it will be more motivating and funny than read the information in a document.
Another good point is performances, through them children can acquire knowledge and also it is very useful to make pair assessment.

     4. What ideas or thoughts the video has provoked for your own lessons.

For us, the video shows a lot of ideas of how make children participate of their learning process. For this aspect, pair assessment and self-assessment is very important.
