New Semester : Journey begins... ๐ฅณ
Today was a special day...
Our second semester started.
The classes started about 8 30 am.
First class was Optional. Our new semester started with our Deepthi miss. We discussed about the syllabus, scheme and works of semester 2 and had some doubt clarifications. We officially just started our syllabus. We have given two works to be done.
Next class was Joju sir's. He is taking the subject "Assessment". He started the class with prayer and we started our first class of assessment. He said that, the basic tool for assessment is nothing but TESTS. And there are so many techniques for assessments like..interviews, group discussions, observations etc...
Also he discussed about the news about the suicide cases of IIM students....its because they were taught to study the materials only...not the life. So it implies that proper assessments on education in any level of class is vital.
The assessments can be found in BC 425 by Plato...BC 150 in Thakshashila....AD 450 Nalanda.... In India the details of assessments actually started in the age of Upanisheds and Vedas.
Next we discussed about key terms of assessments...like (1) Test or examination, (2) Measurements and (3) Evaluation.
The six main stages of assessment are: admission, process of learning, grading students, to send to higher education, to select for a job and progression.
Measurement is about quantifying something.
Next hour was Ancy teacher's. We greeted eachother after a long time. We saw eachother. Had some conversations. Then we discussed about the portions we are going to study in the new semester.
Next we discussed about Individual differences. About heterogeneous classrooms...gifted pupils...how we need to take care classrooms with different kinds of students.
