Reflection
When collecting data in the pre-assessment, one of the key aspects I considered was one of the ways that would allow me to provide an assessment that would be appropriate for each of the students. Although I was able to collect a significant amount of data using from the pre-assessment, I would argue that the data was not effective when I was creating the summative assessment. That was because the pre-assessment I conducted on the student focused on a different lesson, which varied from the lesson I was intending to give out the summative assessment. Consequently, that meant that the data that I was able to collect did not apply in the overall process through which to creating a summative assessment that would match my intended expectations during the summative assessment.
The summative assessment I created was focused on trying to determine how well students connected with the information that I provided them as part of the lesson, which I believe was key to determining the extent to which they understood the lesson. The idea was seeking to establish a front through which to ensure that the students are assessed based on their capacities and knowledge while considering the fact that they have different areas of interests. That was one of the key aspects that I needed to consider during the overall process of creating the assessment while considering that the summative assessment needed to provide me with a better picture of how the students are performing. My expectation was that the summative assessment would help me identify some of the areas where students needed help as part of their engagement in the learning process.
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
One of the greatest challenges that I encountered when creating the summative assessment was that it was somewhat hard for me to determine the exact areas of interest for the students that I would use as part of the assessment. I chose to engage in an assessment that involved both paper and project as a way of ensuring that the students are not only able to build on their creativity but also work on their writing skills. Using this approach, I was able to overcome the challenge that I had experienced taking into account that it provided me with a space through which to determine how well students understood what had been taught as part of the lesson. In other words, the paper and project combination provided me with a holistic understanding of the students’ strengths and weaknesses with regard to what they were taught as part of the lesson.
In my future practice, I intend to use this approach, especially after I have engaged in patient education, which I believe is one of the key areas defining success in health care service delivery. After providing patient education, I intend to engage in summative assessment of the patients with the sole intention being towards getting a clear picture of the extent to which the patients have connected to the information I may have provided them. An example of a summative assessment approach that I believe would be of great value for me is asking the patients a few questions with regard to the information I have provided them. I will be in a much better position of having to determine areas where the patients may need help while reviewing their responses to the questions asked.
