1. What is your definition and description of assessment strategies and tools in assessing
curriculum?
Okano, as cited in Cohen et al. (1997) stresses that assessment is being used,
on the one hand, for educational improvement, increase school effectiveness and
curriculum reforms, and on the others, for political control of teachers, students and
curricula, centralized policy making, narrow accountability, credentialism, educational
selection, and the determination of life chances in competitive markets.
4. What does your description imply in terms of your beliefs and values?
Our definition and description implies that in assessing curriculum, you should
not only base on cognitive-based assessment but also to affective-based assessment.
You should also consider the affective characteristics and or qualities as factors towards
a comprehensive assessment.
5. How do your definition and description differ from the rest of the groups?
Our definition and description of assessment strategies and tools are not very
different to the other group. We have some similarities, because, we all depend on fixed
information, general facts and truths about curriculum development through our
experiences, observations, and also because of different resources.
6. How else can you describe the different assessment strategies and tools?
We think that it is the only way can describe the different assessment strategies
and tools because its already very common to us specially to the teachers side.
