Assessing skills practical components

Students should make the relevant comparisons and answer the questions
according to the activity guide, and send the final product for the corresponding
environment.

 Comparisons

Evaluation
The evaluation is used to get
information about the learning and
teaching. It is an interaction
between students and teacher to do
changes and to get better the
learning skills.
Assessment
The assessment is used to get
qualification about the quality, here is
take in account different abilities,
cooperation and other aspects.

constructs and no others variables.

Quantitative Qualitative assessment

Here, the numbers are used to
interpret data. The main idea is to
examine a large numbers of
individuals. The questions are
simples.
The kinds of questions are more
specifics and a quantitative
assessment alone might not be
appropriate. The idea is find more
deeply explore students knowledge.
  Reflection about one kind of the next assessments:

Proficiency test
Achievement test
Diagnostic test
Placement test

Placement test

I consider very useful this test because it is important that the student can
demonstrate that he has the necessary knowledge to gain the best results in an
appropriate course. Many times the teachers have to choose if continue in the level
of the course or to repeat topics seen before only for one or two students, affecting
the learning process of the most students.

 Reflection about one of the next dichotomies:

Informal Formal Assessment

Assessment
Classroom External
Assessment Assessment
Pedagogic Administrative
purposes purposes

Standards

Classroom assessment

This dichotomy is still used by the teachers as a final step, I think is time to change,
this is a continuous activity and it has to be used as such, because is through this
method that the students show what they have learned and are able to do, but
actually, many teachers don’t want to understand it is necessary to gather
information to know if the students are learning, in what quantity and what they
have to improve, both students and teachers.

 Answer to the question:

“Which advantages do you think Assessment through computer technology

has over traditional assessment?”

There are many advantages, the students are in constant change and they are
focus in the innovation, thus to use computer technology to assess has many
advantages over the traditional assessment. The first advantage is that it helps to
reduce the stress, second, the development of new competences, third, the use of
didactic process, fourth, strengthen the autonomy and the motivation.

Creation of a checklist or tally sheet about the aspects which have to be

taken into account when testing the skill or competence chosen in Moment 3
