Final Reflection (Transcript)

 
Hi  everyone.  ​Ammm​…  This is my final reflection video of evaluation… ​and ​well​. I’m 
going  to  ​explain  you  what  I  have  learned.  What  is  evaluation ​and what implies a real 
evaluation.  ​And​,  ​and  then  I’m  going  to  give  you  my  perspective  ​from​,  from  all  this. 
And​ what I have u ​ nderstand​ from all this course. 
 
Explain: needs the preposition “to”
Understand: I must use the past participle for this expression.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, and, well, from.

I  must  confess  that  a  the  beginning  of  the  course.  I  have  no  idea  of  what  evaluation 
involves  ​and what implications it has. So for me evaluation ​it was​, it was not much to 
work  on  it.  It  was  not  a big deal, because to be honest, when I hear evaluation, ​amm​, 
the  first  thing  that  comes  to my mind it was an exam, a test ​and that was all. A test in 
which  students  must  ​sussed  or,  ​amm  achieve  let’s  say,  ​ammm​,  a  determined  level. 
But  I’m  going  to  tell  you  the  definition  of  evaluation.  Evaluation  in  the  context  of 
learning  is  the  act  of  giving  feedback,  following  the  analysis  of  a  process, 
accomplishment  or  a  combination  thereof.  ​And  what  does  this  means  because  ​it  is 
very​...  It’s  so  easy  to  get  confused  with  this  definition  or  ​wer​,  well,  to  get  ​confuse 
with just the term of evaluation.  
 
Sussed: I should use “be sussed”, because of the modal verb “must”.
Confuse: I should say this verb in past simple. 
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as and, it was, amm, it is very,
wer.
 
This  means  the  more analysis the more feedback we will have ​and if we have a deeper 
analysis  we  will  have  a  deeper  feedback.  ​And  ​we  would,  we  would  ask  ​to  ourselves. 
Why  is  feedback  so  important  for  this  process?  Well,  feedback  ​help us to know how 
much  our  students  have  learned.  This  reflects  the  knowledge  that  they  understand 
and  this  helps,  this help us as ​teacher to know ​and to be aware of ​how much or what​, 
how  much  we  are  teaching  to  them  ​and  how we are teaching them. ​So, for​… During 
the  course  was  realizing  that  evaluation  is  not  the  same that a test ​and evaluation has 
a  lot  of  implications  that  ​we​,  we  usually  don’t  understand  or  we  don’t  want  to  be 
aware  of  it.  ​So  yes,  ​emm​,  evaluation  involves  a  set  of  factors  that  are  needed  to  take 
into account. 

Help: Should be on third person “helps”

Teacher: for this phrase, Teacher needs a determiner “a” before .
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, and, we would, to, how
much or what, so, for, we, emm.
 

 
As  we  know  languages  have  been  taught  by  grammar,  spelling,  structures  and 
theoretical  knowledge  that  students  have  ​learn​, but it’s necessary that students know 
how  to  use  those  structures  ​and  grammar  on  ​real-life  communication  of  a  different 
language.  In  this  case  in  English.  So  it’s  necessary  that  we  help  our  students  to 
develop abilities for that determined, ​eh​, language. ​So​, ​amm​, if we consider that there 
are  some  ​aspect  that…  aspects  that  standardized  tests  cannot  measure.  For  example 
the  fact  that  students  memorize  information  because,  ​ah​,  ​for  example,  they  have  at 
the  next  day  a  test,  they  only  memorize  the  information,  ​so  we  don’t  know  if  they 
are,  they  are  a  significant  learning  or  they  are  just  memorizing.  ​And  that,  that, those 
are  some  ​aspects  that standardized tests can not measure. ​And also we as teachers, eh, 
as a result, we cannot ​realized if they are really understanding, if they are really having 
a  learning,  a  good  learning  process  or  not.  ​And  ​so  that’s  why  we  as teachers must be 
aware  of  how  we  teach,  according  to  make  our  students  have  this  significant 
learning.  Because  on  the  way  we  teach  is  going  to  ​depend  how  we  are  going  to 
evaluate them. 
 
Learn: I should say this verb in past participle form.
Real-life: I should say the determiner “the”, before real-life.
Realized: I should use this verb on present simple.
Depend: I should use a the preposition “on” after depend.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as aspect, ah, for example,
amm, eh, so.
 
Thi  is  how  I  get  to  the  next  point  because  I  started  thinking  that  the real problem it 
was  the  tests  that  we  applied,  for,  ​emm​,  to  evaluate.  I  thought  that  tests  are  not 
useful  because I started to consider that even though we are trying to apply the use of 
the  technology  ​to​,  to  evaluate  our  students,  it  was  just  the  same,  ​amm​,  We  realized 
that  applying  tests  with  technology,  we  were  making  the  same  mistakes,  because  it 
was  nothing  more  than  a  test  but  instead  of,  instead  of  a  piece  of  paper  it  was  in  a 
computer, ​so​ it was not a difference, and the problem was tests, for me. 
But  then  we  started  to  analyze  ​in  how  actually  tests  must  be  planned  ​and it involves 
many ​aspect​ that I consider that many teachers d ​ oes​ not take into account.  
 
Aspect: The singular countable noun aspect follows the quantifier many, which
requires a plural noun.
Does: I should use “do” for the plural noun.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as ah, erm, amm, in, to, so.
 
 
If  we  say  that  during  the  course  we  were  preparing  our  students  ​to​,  to  give  an  oral 
presentation.  ​Well​,  we must know that we can not give them just a test in which they 
fulfill  all  the  information  of  all  the  theoretical  information  of  what  it’s  needed  for 
giving  an  oral  presentation.  ​Those  ​aspects  probably  they  will  succeed  the  test  and 
that’s  not  enough,  because  we  also  need  that  they  show  to  us  as  teachers,  that  they 
know  how  to  give  an  oral  presentation,  not  just how to, not just what is need to give 
an  oral  presentation, it’s how they can apply an oral presentation, how they are going 
to  perform  that  knowledge  that  has  been,  ​amm​,  has  ​being  ​teached  into,  during  the 
course.  
 
Being: I should use the correct form of the verb “been”.
Teached: I should use the correct past participle of the verb.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as erm, amm, to, well, those
aspects.
 
So  going back to the point of tests, ​well​, we, if we are going to evaluate with a test as I 
just  mentioned, we must know how to plane ​what is going to come to the​… What we 
are  going  to  put  on  this  test.  We  can  not  just  prepare  exercises  that  they  just  fulfill 
and  that’s  all  the  test.  They  must  have  context  and  have  a  real  and  useful  context. 
They  must  know  how  to  use  what  they  are  learning  during  the  class.  They  must 
know  how  to  use  it  when  they  are  not  in  the  class.  Let’s  say  if  students  are  learning 
how  to  use  some  structures, ​Well in the test we must make them to demonstrate that 
they  can  use  those  structures  in  formal  and  informal  conversations.  ​So  that  we  as 
teachers  know  that  they  really  understand  what  we  try  to  teach  them.  What  we  are 
teaching them. 
 
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as the, erm, amm, to,what is
going to come, well, so.

 
So  amm​,  ​for  the  next  point,  I  must  say  that  I  consider  that  evaluation  it’s  very 
affected,  amm,  with  the  environment.  Because  it’s  different  on  each  country  this 
process  of  evaluation,  because  of  the  culture.  I  mean  in  our  culture  we  are  not 
familiar  with  some  aspects.  For  example  that  our  teachers  demonstrate.  I  mean, 
demand  to  us  as  students  punctually  and  constancy,  because we are not accustomed 
that  they  ask  to  us  those  different  rules,  ​so  we  don't  know  how  to  accomplish  with 
those points that they expect that we fulfill. 

For: I should use the preposition “to” according with the context.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as amm, so.
 
So  we  as  students  face  ​to  different  problems.  for  example,  as  I  just  mentioned.  Our 
teachers  ​doesn’t  used​…  Don’t  ​used  to  ask  to  us  or  demand  to  us  some  of  those 
aspects.  
That’s  the  reason  why,  when  a  different  teacher  comes  and  tries  to  demand  those 
aspects  when  he  tries  to  evaluate  with  a  different  way  for  example with a project, we 
don't  know how to fulfill their expectations. ​And it's a ​really problem for our culture 
because it affects how, how students develop, different skills. 

Doesn’t: I should use “don’t” for the plural noun

Used; I should say “use” in present simple because of the helping verb “do”.
Really: I should use “real” because modifies “problem”.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as so, to, aspects, and.
Finally,  I  think  that  we  as  teachers  have  a  really  huge  responsibility because we must 
make  our  students  be  aware  that  what  they  are  doing  right  now  it’s  affecting  them 
for  the  future.  ​And  ​well  firstly  as  teachers  ​also  must​.  We  must  be  aware  that  this 
depends  ​of,  on  us.  On  how  we  teach  ​to  them.  How  we  make  them  ​to  be  motivated 
during  the  class,  during  the  course,  and how we manage those aspects, how we make 
them  to  understand  ​and  comprehend,  ​and  all  those  aspects  of test ​and that ​also they 
can, a​ nd​ that they can enjoy during the process.  

Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as of, to, amm, also must, and,
well, also.

So  well,  ​amm​,  for  me  the  whole  perspective  of  evaluation  has  ​change  ​for  all  my  life. 
so I will never s​ een​ evaluation ​at​ the same way as I used to see the… that point. 
So  I  thank  ​to  my  classmates  because,  we,  we  have  been  learning  together  during  all 
this  process,  and  I  need  to  say  that,  it  was  really useful to work with them because as 
we  learn  also  this  feedback  is  very  important.  So  the  knowledge  is  not  individual 
actually,  we  learn  together  and  we  comprehend  together  much  better  than  maybe  I 
could  comprehend  ​by  my  own.  ​So  I  thank  ​to  them  because,  ​amm​,  we  realized  ​of 
those aspects also together. So it was a good experience for me. 

Change: I should use this verb on past participle.

Seen: According with the context I should use the verb on its present simple
form.
At: According with the context the preposition “in” should be more appropriate.
By: According with the context the preposition “on” should be more appropriate.
Note: I should omit this words and pet words such as so, amm, for, to
 
Comments: I realized that at the moment of producing ideas, I commit many
mistakes. Also, I don't reinforce my ideas with strong arguments and I tent to
redound while trying to expressing them. I have serious problems to express
myself and what I'm trying to say. I know that's a problem of vocabulary and the
way I structure my ideas.
