MAIN CONCEPTS
RUBRIC: is a method of assessment to express learning, where the different sections or premises are broken down and listed, represented with rows and columns in a table, the rows where the different standards or guidelines are placed and the columns where the mark you have achieved is marked. These are a large set of criteria imposed, either by the teacher, by the school or by the decree. These can make the rubric cleaner and more orderly, where the achievements of each student can be clearly seen. In this activity, we have made a rubric about the roles that we have been playing throughout the course, so we have put different achievements or steps that have to carry out this role, then we have exposed this rubric in class with our classmates and we have made a feedback of each group. I think that in this case, having made the rubric and having understood its mechanism, will help us a lot in the future when we face the different methods of evaluation.
ASSESSMENT:The evaluation is the identification and analysis of how a person has internalised certain knowledge, not with a quantitative purpose of assigning a number as a mark but to measure learning based on others, it aims to see to what extent the objectives are being met and is a way to evaluate everyone equally, with equal possibilities because except for some students who have a disability, such as dyslexia, who have a test a little easier to understand, children who do not have difficulties are all treated equally with the same opportunities and the same rigour.Some of the problems that assessment can cause are that every student is different, and not all students have the same abilities to memorise, or to solve mathematical problems, therefore this can cause demotivation and rejection of school for many students and make them not want to study.
ROLES:roles are like different identities adopted by a number of people in a given situation. It aims to represent what is imposed and thus create a situation. In this course with our respective groups we have been exchanging roles every week and doing different activities, adopting different roles in each one of them, to represent the set of criteria, rules and behaviours that each one of them had to carry out. At the beginning it was a complicated task as it was very different from what we used to do, but little by little we understood how we had to do it and it was a very interesting practice. The concept of social roles is well known, which is very similar to what we have done, as social roles are the behaviours or conduct that a person has after personal experiences, and what is expected of them due to their sex, age, culture...
Is it important to evaluate to learn?
Evaluation is an important concept in education, it is not always beneficial, for some students the qualifications and the different elements of evaluation can be a challenge to carry out and that motivates them to move forward and improve themselves every day. . On the other hand, there are other children who, not benefiting from the different evaluation elements, are frustrated and reject all kinds of things that have to do with school. That is why obviously the evaluation is important to learn since it measures your level of knowledge and also because it allows us to regulate learning and detect the possible difficulties that our students may encounter in learning and, from there, help them solve them.That is why I believe that evaluation has both its advantages and its disadvantages, this is because all children are different and it is difficult to find an evaluation model that is equally fair for everyone, since not everyone is going to be good at doing the same things.It is very important that the teacher knows his students well and their situation both at home and at school, their strengths and weaknesses and their sensitivity, as this will help the child to be in a good environment in the classroom. Returning to the above, I believe that evaluation, to a certain extent, does have a lot to do with learning, since without it there would be no real learning, since it guides this process and guarantees the improvement of teaching.To finish, it would be a great advance to create different lessons for different students, and adapt them to the one that suits them best, however this process is very laborious and can be a bit unfair.
