Purpose of Portfolio
“Learning is a skill, and this skill ensures the first step of success”
This portfolio helps us to identify the steps and measures we took during
learning. It consists of the work which I performed during the class and
semester. The tasks, assignments and reflections are included. The
portfolio marks my path to a successful session at the course overcoming
flaws, adapting to different methods, and strengthening my goals.
With the help of this portfolio, I will be able to seek my weaknesses and
strengths during the sessions. This course helped me to use the different
methods of assessment in classrooms. I also produced reflections on
some of my classes where I was able to learn some of the unique lessons.
I was able to create tests by making different tests using the Blooms and
SOLO taxonomies.
Myself
My name is Anas Ahmed Shahid, and I am currently studying
B.Ed. from Iqra University. My aim is to become a successful
teacher who teaches students with grace and experience. I want
my students to be future leaders of the society so that they can
bring change in the society. I am very responsible person, and I
would want my students to learn from me as much as they can.
With the current program, I am studying how to implement
different methods and ways to make an effective learning
environment.
Life in A bag
As a student I learned many things and keeping records of my
learning is one. This portfolio is an evidence what I learned,
where I lacked and where I should improve during the sessions.
Keeping this portfolio will not only help me to learn my
mistakes but to improve accordingly to make an impact in my
learning. The reflection of my teacher makes me motivated to
improve and learn more and more. The artifacts and evidence
compiled makes me seek and sort documents of sessions
accordingly.
My Professional Beliefs
My Professional Beliefs
Please read the article, Inside the Black Box Raising Standards Through
Classroom Assessment - and write a summary of the key message discussed in
this article. Also suggest what is the role of assessment in raising students
'learning standards.
The Black and Williams have considered that the assessments can help improve the
education system. They consider that formative assessment can help the teachers to
better understand the student demands and come out with a suitable solution to the
education and raise its standards. They argue that teachers in the classroom can stand
a better chance to understand situation of the students and this can be the key to
effectively raise the standards. They also say that assessment is way to learn and
modify the education accordingly and its improvement can bring a change in
education overall. They gave an important point that the current classroom
assessments are resulted in marking or scores which also draws a negative impact in
the class even though the intention was to look for flaws and modify in accordance.
I agree with them that assessment’s main intention is to modify the teaching or
deliverance of knowledge but somehow the inconsistency in the measurements, test
or evaluation draws the arrow away from the target. The point they raised of
teachers being the head or key to change is very much appreciated because the
curriculum designers or assessment designers are not present in the class during the
session which makes them completely unaware of the tested subject. Even though
the results can be used to modify the education process,a but the examination board
sees the bigger picture not the detailed picture for this we need to empower the
teachers so that the assessments can help us improve the structure and raise the
standards.

The fourth session was about the questioning. The session was started by the teacher asking from students
about the questioning that how the questions are asked by the teacher and what is the proper way to ask
questions from the teacher. The teacher further explained that questions have a way in which the teacher
should ask questions from students. She also told that the questions asked from students should be in a way
from easy ones to complex ones. The teacher should ask the question one at a time. The teacher told what the
responses would the teacher get if she asks the question in a proper way.
Reflection:
In the fourth session the teacher firstly asked from the students that what they think should be the proper way
for a teacher to ask questions. After getting the response from some of the students the teacher explained
about the questioning and told the way and criteria for asking the questions. I learned that questioning is a
process for monitoring and checking students’ progress and learning so we should question students in a
proper way so that they answer the teacher and do not get confused.

Reflection 4
Session 4
Description:
This session was about analyzing the test items with different methods. The teacher told us that two things are
very important to analyze a test, that are Difficulty Index and Discrimination Index. Using this method, teacher
introduced us to how these indexes help in identifying the different aspects of the test item. The teacher also
tested our understanding by giving different tests to analyze and asked us to write what we understand about
the item by the indexes. By the end, teacher notified us that these indexes are very important in test
development as these help us to make a better item which can be difficult and easily answerable.
Reflection:
In this session, the teacher introduced us with the definitions of the two indexes. She told us that they are very
important in test deigning. Moreover, she taught us the way to calculate the difficulty index by giving examples
of the question. Next, she displayed us a table of different items, with the help of which we answered teacher’s
question. She introduced us the way and formula to calculate the discrimination index of test item. Later, she
showed us that how this index helps us to categorize the item according to the level of students. She showed
us a chart with different test items and number of students attempting the item. With the help of data, we
solved teacher’s question. In the end, we learned the importance of the two indexes.
Reflection 5
Session 4
Description:
This class was conducted by Miss Razia, first she reviewed previous class learning i.e.: rules of testing and then
she explained seven characteristics of making test i.e.: reliability, validity, practicality, avoiding socially sensitive
topics, student/candidate friendly, objectivity, and norms reference. The teacher introduced us how the
different assessment designing procedures are used and how are they different. She taught us how to utilize
the different designing methods to improve the standards of testing.
Reflection:
Through this online class, I have learnt many new things. Characteristics of making test help us to provide
relevant details for making a test like validity is the purpose of the test (to assess learning or concept),
practicality is the distribution of mark which should be easy to mark, setting time for test according to each
MCQ, difficulty level (if four options given then difficulty level is high, if three options are given then difficulty
level is middle), Avoid socially sensitive topics means we should not place any topic which can cause conflict
e.g. any wrong concept on caste, creed, religion or gender, student friendly means proper instruction for
attempting questions should be given in test, objectivity is used at the time of marking which should be free
from bias, reliability is the scoring criteria (consistency of test scores gives the vision that test is reliable), norm
reference is comparing test scores with performance. So, I will apply these characteristics at the time of
preparing test and at the time of scoring
