Reflection 9

We did not much talk about the topic discussion but our lecture , Ms soinim asking for our assignment which is assignment one and two. our lecture also told that in week 8 we will present our work of assignment two, to make sure where is wrong about our assignment, she can told us to do the correction before submit. She also told us to submit this assignment (blog) in week 10. Ms soinim also discuss about how to do the second assignment and all the components that must have in second's assignment.

So , I almost forgot about the evaluation the progress of our assignment which it was our project based on group to design and develop a curriculum according to our own field ( ECE ) .

 So all students will present their progress of  this assignment. Our lecture, Ms Soinim want to see how far we have done of our second assignment and she also want to see either our work is correct or not. Then our group show our work in front of the class and she told us that our work is okay but in component 4 which is the evaluation our group should give the example and write down the formative and summative based on assessment that we use.

And , I should do some evaluate the progress of our group struggle during this assignment , which we just have 3  members for  this assignment and just 2 of us ( Me and Sharafina) who DO this assessment without any help from the other member. Its kinda weird because , when Ms Soinim ask our group to present , and suddenly she ask us “ How about our assignment ?”meanwhile she didnt do anything or help us. 

Reflection 8

CURRICULUM EVALUATION: CURRICULUM ISSUES AND TREND

WHAT IS EVALUATION?

Evaluation is the process or group of processes that people perform in order to gather data and that will enable them to decide whether to accept, change, or eliminate something. Concerned with relative value and statements of worth. Order than that, it is determining whether the expected or the planned has occurred or is occuring in relation to the intended. What i understand about these evaluation is  something that i setup for children like the activity in class i guess whether it is good or not. Other than that, it is also similar on what i do when i provide the lesson plan. Such as the children or i have already achieve the goals or not. My lesson that i provide are effective or not for children or i have already achieve the goals or not. The evaluation also can be informal or formal assessment. Other that that, when we do the evaluation, it should be based on 5 question which is Intrinsic value, Instrumental value, Comparative value and Idealization value and decision value.
