During the first week we went through different concepts related to evaluation and assessment. Several concepts were brand new within my particular teaching experience. Besides, we analyzed different words to understand the meaning as well as the appropriate usage of them.Afterwards, we were assigned a couple of readings from the textbooks which would enhance and give support to the concerning topic.
For the second session we were involved with some interesting activities. For instance, we watched a video clip called "Another brick in the wall". It gave us a picture of the particular way most of the teachers used tp work in the past. Nevertheless, there are still some old-fashion teachers who resist to change. Again we faced several core terms such as backwash and stakes which can be high or low. Besides, the class went through the different types of tests in order to identify the main differences among them.
Finally, as a group, we were asked to review a colleague´s exam. This activity was extremely productive. It was tiring though since each one of us had his/her own opinion. Fortunately and with the excellent help of Dr. Hernandez, we came to an agreement on several aspects a test must contain.
