Assessment: Past, Present and Future

My past misconception: Assessment = Grades. That’s how I looked at assessment
before I took EDS 113.
Again, I feel sad and happy. Sad because I know that many teachers out there don’t
fully understand what assessment is; happy because I know there’s hope for our
educational system. I am more convinced that current teachers and teachers to-be
should go through the teacher-education program, get this course alongside the basic
Professional Teaching Certification, and continue to learn through seminars, training,
and workshops, or even through online learning. (If I may mention, studying through
UPOU made me more aware of the vast, rich, and useful information we can get from
trusted educational sites of the internet; merely browsing through the educational
websites will help teachers learn more.)
I once thought I was ready to teach, that I was competent enough, but ugh, while
studying this course, I realized I definitely had a lot of limitations. For one, I was one
of those who didn’t fully understand what assessments are for. Thanks to EDS 113,
this has changed.

What have I learned from this course? Today, I am endowed with new learning.:)
 Assessment is not all about grades.
