EXPERIENCES WITH TESTING, ASSESMENT AND EVALUATION

EXPERIENCES WITH TESTING, ASSESMENT AND EVALUATION

During all our lives, we are evaluated about the things we do and we do not do. When we were at the elementary school, the evaluation was one of the things we scare because if we did not have enough score, what a big problem we were going to have with our parents. The pressured to obtain the best outcomes made the students fear of the teachers and fear of the parents, sometimes.

With the pass of the time we continued being evaluated, I am talking in this case of high school, in that case the way to evaluated was a little bit different, I mean that in those ages we are more responsible, more independent and more conscious about what we are doing at school. 

When we get at the university, we know a different ways of evaluation, here the teachers focus in the way you analyzed a text, what are your arguments, how you use what you learn in context, the way you work and the tools for evaluating are very different. As conclusion many years ago my concept of evaluation had relation with fear but now I have a new concept about the word evaluation, assessment and testing.
