Evaluation and assessment

Hello everyone, i hope you are doing well.
This week topic is about evaluation and assessment. We know that assessment is an important part in educational system. Assessment is a methodical way of acquiring, reviewing and using information about students to make improvement where is necessary. Assessment is an interactive process where both the teacher and students are involved. The process involves setting up goals, collecting information and using it for increasing quality. We as teachers collect this information about students progress and compare it throughout a period of time. Assessment make students feel better and encourage them to do more.
Different types of assessment are :
 Summative or Formative
 Traditional or alternative
Assessment help students build confidence in their ability to learn. Recognizing that there are many different ways to assess learning and become skillfull at Self-assessment are important lifelong learning skills. Self-assessment help us to take responsibility for our learning and make further improvements. Also as teachers we should not assess our students based on a semester exam they not always may give their best , so continuous assessment is really important for them to work step by step and encourage them to participate in every lesson.
Evaluation
Often both of them are confused with each other but are not the same thing .
Evaluation is very important and closely related to the aims of the students. The outcome of the evaluation process is the result.  Evaluation should be based on : 
Clearly stated objectives
Comprehensive
Continuous and integral part of teaching and learning process.
The assessment is done to provide constructive feedback and motivate or improve students, while evaluation is done to judge.
That was all for this week , feel free to add any suggestion,  enjoy the week 😊.

 Hello everyone, i hope you are doing well. Today's topic is about constructivism and DDD-E model. Constructivism is a theory in education that recognises the learner's understanding and knowledge based on their own experiences. The essential is that learner actively construct their own knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Constructivist teachers motivate independent learners and develop their critical thinking.

So the teaching and learning process must be related to the practical real world so that classroom can share knowledge and experience actively. Constructivism encourage and accept students autonomy and ...

Extraordinary situation

Hello everyone, i hope you and your families are doing well in this difficult situation. This is my second post and as we had to choose a free topic i would like to write about the current situation we are living in. That is unexpected not only for us but for the whole world. We had never thought that we would live under such conditions. Restrictions are put in place around the world, the impact that it will have in our lives can be troubling and confusing. As it might continue to spread some people work from home,some go out with permission and in limited hours. Schools have already been forced to close,places where people can gather are not allowed anymore, the borders are closed for most of states allowing only humanitarian flights. Governments across the globe are taking tougher measures to contain this crisis. That is a good way to stop spreading the virus and to save lives as much as it is possible,to protect as much as we can people who are older and can't handle this situat...
