Self-assessment of the course

The Technique is questionnaires; ranking preferences and short answer questions.

About the Assignments:

1. - Did all the assignments = 2

1. Less than 50% 2. 100%

2 - Did your assignments on time (group or individually) = 2, I did all assignments, but two of them was out of time.

1. Less than 50% 2. 75% and up. 3. 100%

3 - Did you respond to the forum on time? = 2

Total: 9 points

What was difficult to follow?

The assessment and evaluation, there are a lot of “related elements”, and at the beginning we were a little bit confused, we imagined that the course was an easy or simple way of evaluation, like in a test or another printed form, but the purpose of this subject is “to know the correct way, and to know how many possibilities we have to evaluate language students”. We sincerely think that this course is quite complete and useful in order to discover a lot of alternatives to evaluate and analyze the students’ process on language learning.

What worked well?

Everything worked well. From now on, we think we'll be using these techniques.

What could be omitted?

Maybe one or two activities, the course has a lot of activities (one per week). And many of them was to complicated. We had to work so hard.

Did I like the interaction with my classmates and the tutor?

Yes, we enjoyed the interaction between our classmates, and would be better if next time you give us more time to interact with them, and with you. Thanks teacher!

validity...

Validity: it is the extent of a test in measuring the skills that were said to be measured. It is necessary that a test is valid in order to interpret and use the results of a test correctly and accurately.
Validity is the evidence of a recorded data. There are several forms of validation.
Content validity: This one validates the content of a test. This test must be made by the material previously taught in the class, if the test contents the right information, it will give us an accurate measure.
Criterion- related validity: This category refers about the assessment of the candidate's ability. There are two kinds: Concurrent validity and predictive validity. Concurrent validity is when the test and the criterion are administered at about the same time, which it will lay on the functions to be test.
Reliability: Consist in coherent results, in other words, the results shown by a test should be similar when it is applied to different students with the same level in the use of a language in different occasions.

Practicality: A test has to be practical,it has to be economical and easy for both, teacher and student, but without stopping being effective.

Backwash effects: It is how students see the test and how they are going to work with it. This perspective of the test will depend on how the teacher manage the instructions and the use of the test with the students; if they feel the test is just another tool for learning, or improve learning, they probably will acquire a positive idea or concept of a test, if not, the results could be the other way around.

Comment on self-assessment
Be aware of what you are integrating and developing within yourself. And that is exactly how a questionnaire works; by making specific questions to make the student analyze his/her own development.
