EDU555 CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION:

CURRICULUM IN MALAYSIAN SCHOOL

Today in class we learn about assessment and evaluation during the class. I gain a new knowledge from today's class. Today i learnt about assessment. Assessment is the ways instructors gather data about their teaching and their students learning such as pre-tests, observations, and examinations. What I understand is assessment is the systematic process of documenting and using data on the knowledge, skills, attitudes and beliefs. By doing assessment, teachers can try to improve student learning. While evaluation is to make judgment to determine the overall value of an outcome based on the assessment data.  This topic very important because to determine the outcomes of the program,  to help in future development of the curriculum material and to improve methods of teaching and instructional techniques. Evaluation focuses on grades and may reflect classroom components other than course content and mastery level.If we think our  method of teaching is not relevant to apply we can change our method to improve our lesson. On this topic, we also learn the types of assessment which are formative and summative  assessment. Formative assessment is about assessment that we need to do when on going program and summative is assessment that we need to do after the program. Intended curriculum refers to the objectives set at the beginning of any curricular plan.  Teacher must complete the goal, specific purposes and immediate objectives to be accomplished in classroom. Most thank you to madam fitriah for the knowledge i get today :)
