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.
