Types of Assessment

As a child, I have never thought that class activities have purpose and significant.
All I know was in school – during classes – I am learning and having fun. But as I study
to become an educator, I learned that those are called assessment. An assessment is
significant in order to determine whether academic skills, learning objectives or the
educational needs of students have been met. They become an important factor in
facilitation a student’s learning and an educator’s teaching method.

To be honest, the only assessment I know was the summative assessment or


assessment of learning. I know that this assessment is mostly done at the end of the unit
or semester. The perfect example are exams and tests. This is the time where all the
knowledge and understanding of a student in a lesson are being assess. During this time,
I yearn to study or review the lessons of the entire unit or semester. However, I did not
know how crucial this assessment can be. Aside of the result is being publicize it will also
often contribute to the grading or ranking of the student. Therefore, the assessors,
teachers need to report accurately and fairly.

Another assessment that I recently become aware, is the assessment for learning
sometimes referred to as formative assessment. I was barely aware that classroom
activities are a form of assessment. Although it occurs throughout the teaching and
learning process – a day-to-day basis – it is still student friendly. Because, it provides the
belief that all students can improve and achieve better and involves formal and informal
activities, such as classmate discussion and seat work. This assessment also involves
not only the teacher and the student but as well as the parents. In addition, this type of
assessment helps the teachers determine the next step or the strategy they must do to
assist students’ academic advancement. Finally, the assessment as learning. Unlike the
previous approaches this type is being assessed by the students themselves. It supports
a learner’s metacognitive skills. According to Merriam Webster, it refers to the awareness
or analysis of one’s own learning or thinking process. This is the part where I, as learner,
reflect with information and knowledge that I obtain during my learning process. Through
this, students also develop sense of ownership to their learning and improve what they
understand by asking questions either to the teachers or to their peer.

To improve myself as a student I must understand the purpose of each


assessment I encounter in the class. That also goes the same as a future educator, it is
important that I should have a holistic comprehension to the basics of assessing a
student. And going through the matter and principle to become an educator made the
word assessment no longer foreign to me.
