Formative assessment is very important during discussion because this is the way I can see if they truly understand the lessons. It also serves as a tool to monitor their progress and identify areas that need improvement. I remember during my teaching internship I tend to ask questions
to my students to track if they fully understand my discussion and if they failed to answer I try to explain more in a way that they can easily understand before I proceed to assessment.
This experience showed me how valuable formative assessment is. It allows teachers to immediately check students' comprehension and provide the necessary support. Through this process, misconceptions can be addressed right away, ensuring that no students are left behind and that learning becomes more meaningful for everyone.
Assessment guides my teaching and my students’ learning by helping me understand what they already know and what they still need to improve. It gives me a clear idea of their strengths and weaknesses so I can adjust my lessons and use strategies that fit their needs.
Through assessment, I am able to give meaningful feedback that supports their growth and learning. It also helps me improve my teaching so I can better support my students in reaching their learning goals with confidence. I also use assessment results to identify students who need extra help and those who are ready for more advanced tasks. In this way, learning becomes more focused and effective for everyone.
The most useful teaching resources are both digital and non-digital because students learn in different ways. Some students are visual learners, while others learn better through hands-on activities, listening, or reading. Integrating digital tools during my discussion is very effective because it easily catches their attention and makes the lesson more interactive, engaging, and interesting. I can observe that more students actively participate when technology is used in the classroom.
At the same time, non-digital resources such as printed materials, real objects, and group activities are also important because they support students who learn better through direct experience. Using a combination of both helps me address the needs of diverse learners and ensures that no student is left behind. This balanced approach makes my teaching more effective and inclusive.
