3rd - What’s your call on the following? Assessment in education must, first and foremost, serve the purpose of supporting learning.

Without assessment, education could not be measured properly. Even with assessment, education and learning is not measured properly… imagine if assessment would not exist.

It is an essential part of learning, and it is a clear support of learning. When students are told to talk about assessment, they immediately think about exams and evaluations, and for sure, they are afraid of them.

In this chapter number 3, the book mentions that we need or must put assessment due to it (assessment) helps, encourage and motivates learners to develop every single skill by their own. The new system of evaluation leads to this: the student to be independent.

The two most common types f assessment are Peer-assessment and Individual-Assessment. The two of them are equally and achieve the goal teachers want if they are done appropriate.

We need to assess our students for some purposes:

• Gives the students a idea of what the teacher expects.
• Helps the students to be aware f their learning.
• Measure (in some way) the learning of students.
• Tells teachers if they are achieving or not the goal they have set.
• If something is not working you can notice it trough assessment.

As I already stated, assessment is an important and immovable part of the teaching process learning.
