1. Explain in 5 sentences the meaning of the figure below.
The figure shows the significant relationship between how people learn,
technology innovations, and globalization that corresponds to the current stage of 21st
Century learning as a whole. People are learning differently in this era compared to
previous generations; they are one click away from information and knowledge because
of the access to the internet and computers. As a result, technological innovations have
skyrocketed because of the advancement of human minds. With this, globalization
exists where the economy, politics, culture, and civilization grow and expand. These
three major aspects of learning in the twenty-first century are how people learn,
technological innovations, and globalization.
2. How do teachers and students benefit from the results of formative
assessments?
When teachers constantly monitor student growth and adjust instruction to ensure
continuous improvement, they find it easier and more predictable to progress towards
meeting the standards on summative assessments. The strength of formative
assessment lies in the critical information it provides about student comprehension
throughout the learning process and the opportunity it gives educators to provide
students with timely and action-oriented feedback and to change their own behavior so
that every student has an opportunity to learn and re-learn. Monitoring student progress
regularly helps keep learning goals top of mind, so students have a clear target to work
towards, and teachers can help clear up misunderstandings before students get off
track. Practicing formative assessment helps teachers collect information that indicates
student needs.
Once teachers have an understanding of what students need to be successful, they
can create a rigorous learning environment that will challenge every student to grow.
Providing students and teachers with regular feedback on progress toward their goals is
the main function of formative assessment that will aid in increasing academic
achievement. Formative assessment helps students close the gap between their
current knowledge and their learning goals. Because formative assessment involves
setting learning goals and measuring the progress towards those goals, motivation
increases.
Descriptive feedback should highlight gaps in understanding and specifically inform
students on how they can improve their learning rather than listing what they got wrong,
thus facilitating a reciprocal learning process between teachers and students. A close
analysis of formative assessment data allows the teacher to examine their instructional
practices in order to determine which are producing the desired results and which are
not.
3. What are the factors affecting the teachers’ classroom assessment? Identify 5
factors and explain each.
These are the five factors that we chose that can influence a teacher's classroom
assessment:
Teachers' values and beliefs- teachers' beliefs and values about learning,
teaching, and assessment are so important to modify teachers' assessment
methods, according to a study paper that we used as a basis. When it comes to
teachers views we consider that it can be have a huge significant for the learners
because for what the instructor believes it will mirror to his or her students.
Teachers' beliefs influence how they teach, how their students develop, how they
make decisions, and how they engage with their students. Teachers use beliefs
to help them prepare lessons, make curricular decisions, and choose what
should be taught in the classroom. As a matter of fact, teachers with more
positive beliefs and good attention will produce more effective learners, whereas
teachers with more negative beliefs will produce less effective students.
Teachers' jobs include instilling confidence and fostering positive relationships.
Teachers' values are one factor that can influence their assessment because a
teacher's attitude reflects on her students as well as her career. A well-mannered
educator is more likely to obtain an excellent teaching assessment.
Professional Experience and Teaching- Teachers with proper training and
experience in the teaching field can make reliable assessments. They are also
knowledgeable about the various types of assessments that are appropriate for
students. Their experience gave them the freedom to pursue learning goals that
suited their students.
Attitudes, skepticism, and opposition among students- Learner attitudes
have an impact on the level of language proficiency achieved by individual
learners. Thus, learners with positive attitudes (motivated ones) will experience
success. Similarly, learners with negative attitudes (a demotivated one) will not
experience success but rather failure. So when it comes to the teacher’s
assessment, the student’s behavior is a big factor in the assessment. Another
thing with it is when students' past experiences with summative assessment
cause them to have a negative attitude toward the teacher's assessment. This
discourages students from using and giving feedback to teachers and their
peers, which decreases the classroom interactions and the teachers' motivation
to use it. The students' poor attitudes, excessive absenteeism, unsupportive
approach, and variety of student abilities discourage teachers from adopting.
Internal Policy and the School Environment- Teachers may base their tests or
assessments on internal policies and school environment. They can decide to
use the same assessment types available on what the policies require. They can
also use any kind of test they made according to the standard of the school or it
is also easier for them to grade students because materials are related to what
they taught. The environment of the school can also influence teachers. For
example, a well-lit classroom can motivate students to do well in their tests, but a
crowded and a noisy learning space can distract them and can therefore affect
the evaluation results of teachers.
Parents' perspectives- The views of parents have a significant impact on
teacher assessments, simply because teachers must communicate with parents
in order to conduct the performance reviews they desire. However, it is often
unavoidable that a teacher's and a parent's viewpoints be directly opposed,
resulting in the failure of some assessments that should have been undertaken.
Apart from that, parents' involvement in their children's academic performance
serves a valuable purpose. There are some parents who are very hands-on in
helping their children learn more, in which case some teachers find it easier to
teach students who have a deeper understanding, but it also has a negative
impact in that some students who have non-hands-on parents will be left behind.
That is why teachers will consider students' situations, and he or she will be the
ones to adjust for the assessment plan to take effect.
