Report
Katie
started the session by asking us to list down words/terms related to the word “assessment”. After a brief discussion, Katie introduced us
two types of assessment, formative and summative.
Then, we had a class discussion on both
assessments. The next activity was to
draw a cat. Then, the drawings were graded based on the Continuous Assessment
Progress Chart. Katie then collected all
the drawings which were graded with ‘green’ mark. The whole class discussed on the reliability
of the ‘green label’ awarded.
Next, she
suggested us to use the progress chart to monitor the students’ mastery level
by using the smiley emoticons or colour coding.
Upon completing the session, we were given a worksheet to test our
understanding on different types of assessment.
In this activity, we were asked to match the types of assessments to the
list given.
Reflections
We
felt that the Continuous Assessment Progress Chart is very beneficial and
practical to be used in our classrooms.
The session with Katie refreshed our schemata on different types of
assessment. We realized that formative
assessment does not come solely from the teachers and peer, but self-assessment
can also be part of the assessment.
Recommendations
We
recommend educators to use the Assessment Progress Chart extensively to monitor
students’ progress.
