 Assessment and Recordings

1. A. Work Samples and Portfolios are very important to know the progress of every child’s
learning. We gathered or compiled here every student’s work including quizzes,
worksheets, projects and quarterly examinations where it serves as proof that the
students are complying with your subject’s requirements and they are getting the grades
that they deserve.
B. Self-evaluation the ability to examine yourself to find out how much progress you
have made. It requires individual to monitor their own abilities and evaluate strengths
and weaknesses. It is a process by which teachers or students reflect on their practice
and identify areas for action to stimulate improvement in the areas of learning.
Evaluation is important to know which aspect or what skills of every individual needs to
improve or develop.
C. Formal/Psychological/Standardized tests are often used to select students for specific
programs. This is to identify learning differences among students or to inform
instructional planning. It is also serves as assessment in the early childhood education

2. Childhood assessment is the evaluation of child’s skills and abilities wherein educators
gathered informations about the child. Using gathered information educators learn about
children and they can give the proper ways to support the learning and development of
every child. Knowing child’s history is very important so that educators become aware of
child's strengths and weaknesses. Where are the areas of their learning and
development in which they may require further support and nurturing. Through
assessment educators can identify what learning techniques and strategies are best for
every students especially for those students who have learning difficulties and mentally
challenged so that they can give the appropriate teaching for the child.

3. Assessment is very important because it determines whether or not the goals of

education are being met. Assessment affects decisions about grades,
placement, advancement, instructional needs, curriculum, and, in some cases,
funding. Assessment inspire us to ask these hard questions: "Are we teaching
what we think we are teaching?" "Are students learning what they are
supposed to be learning?" "Is there a way to teach the subject better, thereby
promoting better learning?" Assessment is important in monitoring child’s
learning development. It helps educators to know whether the child’s absorbs
what is he/she teaching and if the child is improving or not.
