Journal Entry.
11/11/2020
About two more weeks and the school will end. This time, I
was doing the marking of the examination papers. I marked my students’ health
and Physical examination. This exam is considered as the summative assessment
because everyone is assessed through doing the examination. And, this summative
assessment is very important for both the teacher and students for keeping records and reporting students' learning progressions.
While I was marking, I found that most of my students
reached the pass benchmark. This means that their learning achievement is
improved in which that they could answer the questions in the examination
paper. More than 10 students reached above 80% of the examination and this is
an amazing outcome that students made in this subject. Not only that but also
it is clear that the teacher also reached the benchmark in her teaching. What I
felt today was amazing and I was proud of my students in making great efforts
in their examinations.
However, a few of them did not make it to reach the pass
mark. This sounds bad for those kids and what I felt is feeling sorry for them.
After marking their examination, I evaluated what I have been doing in this
form. I looked back to the way I taught them, the way I behave and the way I
attended their classes. What are the weaknesses and the strengths of the
teaching and learning process? After evaluating, I found so many things which
are considered as weaknesses of the teaching and learning process. One of those
weaknesses is based on the students’ attendance. Most of the times those kids
who failed in this examination have poor attendance in my class. What I was
thinking of is that maybe because my teaching approach is not engaging so next
time, I will make the use of teaching methods that are more engaging and
productive. I believed that by doing this, there will be more participation in
the learning process. From the weaknesses that I discovered, I am now thinking
of what I should do in order to create improvement on those weaknesses.
Therefore, summative assessment is very important since it can assist teachers
to develop their teaching and learning strategies and that would be useful in
making students success in the learning environment.
To conclude, even though I have a weakness this time, but I
will never give up to make things better in the students’ learning process. I
will try my best to find other way so that I make betterment in students’
academic results. I will put a lot of efforts to make this happen and in the
future, they succeeded in finding their jobs so that they can have a good life.
