CLASS ACTIVITY 1

INTRODUCING THE CONCEPT OF EVALUATION

Activity 1: work in groups, read the questions and write an answer that the entire group agrees on (20 minutes).

1.- In what way would evaluation serve you as a teacher? What would you use it for?

It would serve for us, to know if the students achieve the purpose that we set before. Also with the result of the evaluation we can monitor the progress that the student has had. After we made the evaluation we can realized of the weakness and strength of each student and at the same time help to improve the ones who need it. With the result of the whole class the teacher can realized if his method of teaching is effective or if he need to change it.

2.- In an ideal school, how do you imagine student´s evaluation would be?

Something in which the teacher not only let knows the grade to the student but also guide them so they can continue improving.

3.- Think in a moment in your school/university life where an evaluation was pleasant. What were the characteristics that made it pleasant?

We remembered an English class, because the teacher was always motivating us and she trust on us. Also she told us as why we had that grade and in which aspect we were weak.

4.-  In general, what do you think students expect from an evaluation?

We think the students expect from an evaluation that teachers evaluate that they taught and not other content. Also the results of the evaluation reflect what they learnt.

  

5.- What types of evaluation do you know?

        The types of evaluation that we know are formative, accumulative and summative.  Also these types could be applied in pair, individual or group of students. Using items multiple choices, true or false, and open question.
