 WHAT IS A CHECKLIST?
A checklist is an assessment tool that set out specific criteria, which students and
educators use to measure skills development or progress.
This type of assessment set out skills, attitudes, strategies, and behaviours for
evaluation and offer ways to systematically organize information about a student
or group of students.
It is related with the completion of learning aims.

The purpose of checklists:

IMPLEMENTATION OF CHECKLISTS

learning process or performances.
Teachers use checklist to assess the final
process of a learning activity or perfomance.
Teachers can encourage students to use

 REFLECTION
We consider that the use of checklists in the classroom is a great tool for
both teachers and students, because it gives control and order to the
learning process, task performing, and we can check on students needs.
Students can also use checklists to self-assess their work and progress in
certain tasks and check if they achieve what was expected.
For all these reasons, we think and we will implement this assessment tool in
the process of making rather than to evaluate the final performance of the
student.
