Assignment:
Directions: Answer the following questions.

1. What is meant by assessment?


o In education, the term assessment refers to the wide variety of methods or tools that educators use to evaluate, measure,
and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of students. While
assessments are often equated with traditional tests—especially the standardized tests developed by testing
companies and administered to large populations of students—educators use a diverse array of assessment tools and
methods to measure everything from a four-year-old’s readiness for kindergarten to a twelfth-grade student’s
comprehension of advanced physics. Just as academic lessons have different functions, assessments are typically
designed to measure specific elements of learning—e.g., the level of knowledge a student already has about the concept
or skill the teacher is planning to teach or the ability to comprehend and analyze different types of texts and readings.
Assessments also are used to identify individual student weaknesses and strengths so that educators can provide
specialized academic support, educational programming, or social services. In addition, assessments are developed
by a wide array of groups and individuals, including teachers, district administrators, universities, private companies,
state departments of education, and groups that include a combination of these individuals and institutions.

2. What do you feel about assessment as a pre-service teacher?


o As a pre-service teacher, I feel the difficulties and also the pressure when conducting an assessment because it evaluates
if the learning objectives are met through the learning competencies during lessons. Assessment is essential to monitor
my progress as an education student. For example, when I got scores in every quiz or examination, sometimes I compute
its percentage to determine if I passed or I failed. I realize self-assessment and derive a sense of progress towards
“learning goals” as distinct from “performance goals”. Assessment encourages me to nurture professional development
and make readiness for the teaching profession in the near future. For teachers in general, assessment affects decisions
about grades, placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and a way to teach the subject better to promote
better learning. To all educational institution, one of the most vital benefits of assessment is that it helps in evaluating the
student’s performance.
