Thoughtful Assessment
Thoughtful Assessment
Introduction
We can't manage what we cannot measure. Therefore, we
need to find effective and efficient ways to measure what we
need to manage.
Assessment is one of the major parts of instruction that helps
determine the goals of education. It influences decisions about
how students should be taught, and it also helps determine the
instructional needs of the school. Assessment inspires
educators to reflectively consider the following questions: "Am
I teaching what I think I am teaching?", "Are students learning
what they are supposed to be learning?", and "Is there a better
way to teach the lesson?"
Nowadays, learners must not only learn the basic reading,
writing, speaking, and problem-solving skills, but also the skills
that will allow them to see both real and virtual worlds vis-a-vis,
for them to adapt to each continuous change. Therefore, one must
be able to think critically, analytically, and inferentially.
Changes require new learning goals; learning goals that improve
learners’ knowledge and skills from basic to complex and alter
the relationship between assessment and teaching-learning
instructions. Hence, educators must take an active role in
making decisions in terms of identifying the purpose of
assessment and the content itself that is being assessed.
