Assessment of learning (14-16 april)

Before our course session Irma Kunnari give for us questions about assessment, I think she tested our knowlodge about assessment, it is like pre assessment.
At the bigining our lessons she underlined key words our discription about assessment then told about Finnish system of assessment. Assessment main part of education process. In Finland also as Kazakhstan function Formative and Sumative assessment system.
I'm interested with Self assessment, it is new approach in the education and totaly will change assessment system. It is huge work with student and it is give more possibility for students.
"Self assessment one of the key skills in a way to avoid"

Aisberg model assessment, this is model graphicaly discribe how many knowlodge, skills and attitude under the sea, we can see it is diffucult to find right assessment tools for assess inside the student.

It was so interesting for me and I ask question about new  national curriculum for Finnish school and how they prepare teachers for working with new curriculum.  Teachers union takes part early in the planning for teachers. They improve own skills, knowledge throw courses, seminars, support materials.

Perhaps in the new curriculum will be include new subject and for this subject University prepare the course where could study teachers and students.
