Lesson 17

Assessment in a Constructionist, Technology-Supported Learning

It says that some students memorize very much for the test fit their style of test preparation to the kind of test and study only for passing score and a passing grade.
                 Authentic assessment is most appropriate for the constructivist classroom. Authentic assessment measures collective abilities, written and oral expression skills, analytical skills, manipulative skills like computer skills integration, creativity and ability to work collaboratively.

                                      

               Students learned based on the teaching methods that teachers had/have presented nor taught. Students study and learn based on the way they are tested. Assessment should had to influence how and what they learn. They learnes from and with technology in atechnology-supported classroom. Technology serves as a source of information where the students learn from in the same way that the teacher are a source of information.

              In a constructivist classroom, learning transcends memorization of facts. These facts should be put together, form concepts and make meaning out of them. Facts and Concepts interconnect each other to daily life.

             Nowadays,people need to be computer literate and fluent or else we get lost or become helpless.

             By using transparencies and OHP to demonstate the assigned topic/title or by the use of a powerpoint presentation. therefore, learning is active, constructive, intentional, authentic, realistic, reliable, concise and cooperative process. To assess students manipulative skill, conduct a direct assessment with the help of a SCORING RUBRIC.
