Types of Assessment As A Child

The document discusses three types of assessment: assessment for learning, assessment as learning, and assessment of learning. Assessment for learning occurs throughout the learning process and helps teachers understand what students know and tailor lessons accordingly. Assessment as learning involves students reflecting on and assessing their own learning. Assessment of learning, also known as summative assessment, evaluates student learning at the end of a period of instruction and contributes to grades. All three types of assessment serve important purposes in education.

Types of Assessment Reflection

As a child, I never thought that class activities have purpose and significance. All I know is in
school – during classes – I am learning and having fun. But as I studied to become an educator, I
learned that those are called assessment. An assessment is significant in order to determine whether
academic skills, learning objectives or the educational needs of students have been met. They
become an important factor in facilitation a student’s learning and an educator’s teaching method.

To be honest, the only assessment I know was the summative assessment or assessment of
learning. I know that this assessment is mostly done at the end of the unit or semester. The perfect
example is exams and tests. This is the time where all the knowledge and understanding of a student
in a lesson are being assessed. During this time, I yearn to study or review the lessons of the entire
unit or semester. However, I did not know how crucial this assessment can be. Aside from the result
being publicized, it will also often contribute to the grading or ranking of the student. Therefore, the
assessors and teachers need to report accurately and fairly.

Another assessment that I recently become aware of is the assessment for learning sometimes
referred to as formative assessment. I was barely aware that classroom activities are a form of
assessment. Although it occurs throughout the teaching and learning process – a day-to-day basis –
it is still student friendly. Because it provides the belief that all students can improve and achieve
better and involves formal and informal activities, such as classmate discussion and seat work. This
assessment also involves not only the teacher and the student but as well as the parents. In addition,
this type of assessment helps the teachers determine the next step or the strategy they must do to
assist students’ academic advancement. Finally, the assessment as learning. Unlike the previous
approaches this type is being assessed by the students themselves. It supports a learner’s
metacognitive skills. According to Merriam Webster, it refers to the awareness or analysis of one’s
own learning or thinking process. This is the part where I, as a learner, reflect on information and
knowledge that I obtained during my learning process. Through this, students also develop a sense
of ownership to their learning and improve what they understand by asking questions either to the
teachers or to their peers.

To improve myself as a student I must understand the purpose of each assessment I


encounter in the class. That also goes the same as a future educator, it is important that I should
have a holistic comprehension to the basics of assessing a student. And going through the matter
and principle to become an educator made the word assessment no longer foreign to me.

Assessment FOR Learning: This kind of assessment could be diagnostic or formative. These
assessments provide educators with an understanding of what their students know, what they need
to know, and how to make sure they can provide them with information they need. Assessment for
learning helps educators monitor the learning of their students so that lessons, future assessments,
and topics can be tailored directly to their students.

Assessment AS Learning: This is almost exclusively formative assessment tools. These assessments
provide students with opportunities to reflect on their own understanding, give their peers
constructive feedback, monitor their own progress, and make adjustments in their learning in able to
better meet their learning goals. These assessments can also help inform an educator for learning,
by presenting information regarding students’ self -concept in various contexts.

Assessment OF Learning: Also referred to as summative assessment, this type of assessment occurs
near or at the end of a period of learning and is the summary of a student’s quality of learning. This
assessment contributes highly to an evaluation (judgement) of student learning which is then
communicated to students, parents, and other education professionals as needed. Assessment of
learning is often reported as a grade or level to indicate a student’s learning achievements.
