23/09/2021 Formative assessment

1.      1. Description of the class

This session dealt with the differences between assessment and evaluation so we discussed in pairs and with the the whole students. The class concluded that the first one refers to more global aspects of the student and the second is based on exams (testing). In addition, the teacher mentioned formative assessment, an instrument that evaluates the process in a holistic form with the aim of learning. Therefore, teachers have to evaluate their performance in order to improve teaching so It is a beneficial manner to work correctly with childen.

2.      2. Describe what you learn in the class

I learned the importance of creating a good atmosphere in class because sometimes children are exposed to high pressure due to the exams or to be wrong in their answers, so the teacher must compare the old teaching paradigm with the new one to be aware of what he or she wants and not to encourage in the students.

3.      3. Opinion about the class

In my opinión I think thar the most relevant thing is to make childen enjoy what they learn without feeling afraid of faliling, so it is a complicated task since many of them feel stress about exams and do not focus on learning.
