I was so excited to know that I was going to have Wednesday and Tuesday as my free day for fifth semester. So when my lecturer canceled our Monday class, I decided to go back to UMS on Wednesday. Unfortunately I miss one Language Testing Assessment class because of that decision since I just found out that they were actually a class on Wednesday at 8.00 am on Tuesday night. So I didn't make it that day. However, since my lecturer is nice enough to upload everything on LMS, I was able to catch up with what they learn for that day and for the whole week.
For week 1, I mainly learn about all the basic word that I'm sure I have to hear a lot through the whole semester for this Subject. I just think that it is very crucial to remember all of the term in order for me to be able to really understand about what am I aiming to learn for this subject. So, I figure, I should list them all here.
1). Assessment > Any variety of procedures to measure students performance.
> divided into two type. Measurement (e.g testing) and non-measurement (e.g informal observation).
2) Test > Instrument for measuring a sample of behavior, usually involves posing a set of questions in a uniform manner.
3) Testing > A systematic procedure for the measurement of behavioral change.
> Involve 3 stages. Preparation (test specification), implementation (test administration), and examination (scoring).
Beside this important term, I also learn about the connection of teaching, assessment and testing. Frankly, I knew that this three thing is absolutely related to each other but what I don't really understand yet is how to produce or prepare the best assessment for the students. Is it by what I think is better or is it by following everything that the ministry of education ask us to do.
