Reflections week 5

Dear friends,

We can start by saying that project-based learning, the use of proper rubrics and alternative assessment can indeed help the student to become more autonomous. First of all because project-based learning provides the students with complex tasks based on challenging questions or problems in which they have investigate, reflect and come up with solutions, decisions and possible alternatives. All this process has to be done by themselves with the guide of the teacher.

                                         

We have to remember that the assessment of student learning is the process of evaluating the extent to which the students have developed their knowledge, understanding and abilities and a simple score does not give us that. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on a continue assessment; on other words, to assess our students in a daily basis, assess the students in their daily accomplishments, a reading task, a conversation practice, on their communication skills.... There are other ways of assessment for example peer, w e also can use check lists, and rubrics what is important is to focus on how on our students’ accomplishments ……
Rubrics are also the key for a good performance students have to know exactly what they are going to be graded on so they can do their best on the different tasks they are asked to do.
