06/10/2021 How assessment should be focused

1.       1. Description of the class

We reviewed formative assesment that is an integral part of the learning and teaching process. In it, there are two elements: feedback and active engagement. On the other hand, the teacher explained us that assessment for learning should focus on how pupils learn, be recognised as central to classroom practice, be regarded as a key profesional skill for teacher in which he or she observes learning, be sensitive and constructive because it has an emotional impact,  try to motivate students, receive constructive guidance and recognise the full range of achievements of all leraners. Summative approach collects all the skills and attitudes and is more introspective and colud be a complement of formative approach.

2.      2. Describe what you learn in the class

The main goal of formative assessment is to promote student´s feedback in a continuous way so, the teacher uses some descriptors (quality) in order to improve the learning process. Summative approach focus on evaluation so is based on a quantitive system. However, both types of assessment could be complementary.

3.       3.Opinion about the class

I think that in this class we have learned about formmative and summative approach but some concepts of both I could nor understand as I found it confusing to understand the difference between these two methods of evaluation. Maybe I did not take the basic ideas of each of them.
