Class Assessment For Prospective Teachers

 

Evaluation and Reflection

Assessment is an important part of teaching and learning. Assessment helps teachers and students set new goals through reflective thinking by determining what students know, understand and can do at different stages of the learning process. The results recorded as a result of the evaluations provide feedback to students, teachers and parents with the reports prepared. Regular evaluation of the program with the participation of teachers and school management contributes to the development of the program over time.

Many measurement and evaluation tools are used to measure what the student has learned and to direct their future development. Kindergarten and primary school students' activities are constantly monitored and observed. Every stage of the learning process is followed by pre-evaluation, process evaluation and result evaluation. Preliminary assessment; process assessment in determining the student's current knowledge, interest and learning style; Result evaluation in determining the incomplete learning that the learning process continues; It plays an important role in measuring what has been learned. In addition, students' understanding of a topic is evaluated with different assessment-evaluation tools and strategies such as rubrics, scorecards, checklists, entry-exit cards, brainstorming, mind maps, presentations, projects, observations. Irmak Schools tries to help students learn better by measuring their learning, informing students, teachers and parents about the learning situation of students and improving the curriculum. Information obtained from assessment and evaluation is shared with parents and students through parent information meetings, parent-teacher meetings, student-managed portfolio interviews and interim reports, development reports and inquiry unit reports.

While evaluating students, measurement results, students' participation in classroom activities, scientific attitudes and behaviors, observation, research-examination, scientific thinking, the wealth of ideas they have and exhibit, taking responsibility, their tendency to teamwork, sharing Knowledge and findings, and many other observational student activities can also be evaluated. is included. Parents are notified of the portfolio meeting times to be held at the kindergarten and primary school level. These interviews are an important process that the student shares with his family by reflecting what he has learned. Therefore, portfolio days and hours cannot be changed except for very important excuses (doctor report, out-of-town and business travel).

In my opinion, the most important thing is the feedback given to students after this portfolio and assignments. Thanks to these feedbacks, the student can clearly see his deficiencies and mistakes. Finds the opportunity to learn and develop the truth.
