Assessment and Evaluation

I learned about assessment and evaluation topic by natural approach in the previous session. Why did I suggest like that? It is because Ms.Ine taught me and my friend about that by game which make us did learning and acquiring. First, she asked us to describe about our feeling that day into picture, and then we should share it to another friends. Second, we were asked to make a picture about our sense, if the teacher gives us examination spontaneously.  Actually, some of us drew unhappiness pictures, because in our opinion, examination is the bad part in teaching and learning activity. Third, she divided us into some groups and gave a piece of paper which content by some questions. I have known that she wanted to examine our critical thinking by that question, such as “Is examine the part of assessment, if we related it into last activity?”, “What is the definition of assessment actually?”, and “What are the differences between assessment and evaluation?”.

Honestly, I have learned about assessment and evaluation in LTM course before, so I did not feel blank when answered those questions. I know that assessment is the way to get information about our students in varieties ways and evaluation is broader way to get information about the students than assessment. The teacher measure the students’ progress, but it cannot vice versa in assessment processes. In contrast, evaluation can be done by two ways between teacher to students or vice versa.

Ms. Ine also asked us about her assessment ways in PETA course. In other hand, I have confused either why did she ask me like that? Is it because she feels unconfidently with her assessment ways? Or are there any issues about her assessment ways?
