We found this unit very interesting because it really opened our eyes to some very important aspects of testing, like the importance of practicality, validity, and reliability of the tests that we use to evaluate students.
After reading the two texts about tests, we noticed that we cannot believe or trust in all institutions’ exams. We analyzed our own tests, and we had to recognize that they were not too bad, but that they could be better if we had known a little more about the differences and content of English testing. Now we are more aware of the different types of testing; for example, formal and informal testing, and the importance of knowing when to use each one.
Even though this unit was quite theoretical, we liked it and think that it contained essential and interesting information. This knowledge will help us a lot to create better tests for our students.
Thank you for the reflection.
ResponderEliminarThe only activity I did not find was the number 1.
I know this unit was kind of theoretical but I think sometimes we need to understand the concepts which will help us make a good test later on.
The activity number 1 is before the reflection because we couldn't move it
