At first I looked at the activity
and then went on to the readings to get a better idea of where I was going. The
readings were based on process and product assessment. In my view both
assessment methods are important in the teaching/ learning process. It is good
to assess students using the process method which gives a better assessment of
the students' work. This approach helps teachers to gather evidence of
students' abilities and performances; it diagnoses students' strengths and
weaknesses. Teachers can then employ a strategy approach to help students get
to the final stage which is the product stage. The Product assessment on
the other hand gives an overall evaluation by the teacher of the students’
progress, for example the Common Entrance Examination. At this stage the
students are evaluated based on what they have learnt throughout their primary
school years and the product assessment’s (Common Entrance) result shows their
overall performance.
