Self-Reflection
Questions
1. 1. What did you want the class to learn from your
teachback presentation?
In this teachback, I wanted the students to learn
about the two different forms of assessments which are offensive and unfair
penalization. I wanted students to know and understand the approaches to
reviewing assessment for bias, which are judgmental and empirical approaches. I
also wanted the students to accommodate all students for enhancement of student
learning in the classroom.
2. 2. How did you assess what they learned?
Throughout my teachback, I assessed what the
students learn through formative assessment. Several formative assessments I used
was role play, commercial time, questioning, discussion, and observations.
3. 3. I am proudest of these components of my teachback
presentation, which are the activities.
The activities that I set up for the students were well
engaging, that will keep the students interested. With the students I have
observed, I made sure it matches what they are interested in. For example, the
role play activity for the two forms of assessment bias was engaging. The
students came up of creative scenes and showed understanding of the content.
4. 4. I can improve my teaching in time management and
presentation.
With the time allotted to my presentation, timer
would have been a wonderful and effective tool to manage time. I did last
minute changes to my lesson due to time. I did not thoroughly go through the
other activities that would have been engaging. I also feel that my
presentation skills still need a lot of improvement. I need to try and relax
while doing a teachback. When I’m nervous, it really affects my effectiveness
of teaching the students what I was suppose to teach them.
5. 5. Ideas to contemplate?
The chapter presented to me was based on assessment
of bias. I seriously did not realize about assessment bias referring to not
only offending people, but also unfair penalization. Unfair penalization is the
unfamiliarity of some students that haven’t even been exposed to those kinds of
content.
6. 6. Why is it important to study this chapter?
It is important to study this chapter because it
will help teachers identify and understand absence of bias and wiping out
assessment bias in the classroom. Assessment bias will affect student
performances. Teachers need to be able to know and identify these forms of
assessment bias, including offensive and unfair penalization, so they know what
to look for and how to make a test that does not involve assessment bias. All students
have the rights to learn.
