Chapter 7c

Chapter 7c (288-303)


Assessment is the area that I have the least experience because I don't get the chance to assess students during my observations. This chapter was really useful in exposing me to something that I've never actually used; something I thought was pretty straight forward, but can actually be really complex. For example, I wasn't aware that there are 12 types of assessment items, but now I can assess my future students in many different ways. That's really useful because, just like how every student learns in a different way, they also have their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to assessment. If a students has terrible test anxiety, they likely won't do well on a test, but that same students can convey the same understanding and comprehension through other forms of assessment to avoid that anxiety and the negatives that come with it.
