Lesson 7:
Evaluation of Technology Learning
CONTENT- The
traditional world was now changing into a digital one. Because of this,
assessment should conform or cope up with the new literacy of the 21st
century and not anymore to the literacy of the past century. The evaluation
must be based on the assessment of skills and knowledge that would help
students to function effectively, productively and globally competitive
individuals. The use of standardized paper- pencil test would not be enough to
assess students learning. The learning of students should be evaluated through
the basic skills or fluency such as media, solution, information,
collaboration, creative fluency and digital citizenship. Mass Amateurization
consists of students’ outputs. This will measure the knowledge and skills of
students in terms publishing, visual creation, audio- video recording, internet
website postings and multimedia productions.
EXPERIENCE-
During in primary and secondary level, our teacher used traditional assessment
such as quizzes and periodical exams. But now in tertiary level, we shifted to
digital world. For example, in our English subject,our teacher grouped us and
let us come up with research papers and present it in the class. In that way,
we had developed information and media fluency. In our IT and EdTech subjects,
we’ve developed creative and media fluency by researching topics, creating
cartoons using the MS Paint, making power point presentation. These serves as
evidences that we are already in a digital world.
REFLECTION-
As future teachers, it is important that we would know how to assess our
students. They are the 21st century learners and are at the digital
world. For us to be able to assess fully their learning, we should use
performance based or output based activities and projects and not the
traditional assessment which is the paper- pencil test. We should be knowledgeable
enough with the subject matter we are going to teach and also the skills so
that we would be able to become efficient teachers for the 21st
century learners.
APPLICATION-
In assessing the students’ learning, we should not just limit on using paper-
pencil test because it is not sufficient; it cannot assess all areas of
learning of students. The following are the things that we should remember when
assessing student’s learning.
Ø
Make
use of output or product based activities as one way to assess students’
learning.
Ø
Involve
or integrate the multimedia in the class or as assessment tool.
Ø
As
future teachers, we should set goals or objectives that would lead to the
development of skills of our students.
Ø
In
assessing them, we must also make sure that they had a meaningful learning
because when there is fun while learning, the knowledge will stay in their
hearts and will not be forgotten.
