I'm a bit disappointed! Ok, not just a 'bit', but a lot!
A) My self-assesment In my self-assesment on the form. I tried to be as precise as possible, I emphasized that most of the materials and the web-page is in Macedonian and I expected...I don't know...maybe...that someone would even open the links. B) Reviewing the sent document The document I reviewed was very slim. My colleague marked theirself mostly with highest marks (A LOT) but didn't provide suitable evidence. I tried being kind, offered suggestions and I believe that when and if they read it, they'd find it a supportive and useful review. C) Received review I'm sorry, but I don't find the single sentence comment, 'Your work is interesting for the new methodologies used: the only problem is that I don't understand your language', neither useful or supportive! Especially since they didn't bother to attach the document back.

I nailed it! Scored 100% in the first attempt.
As for the review...hmmm...not received one yet. I'm sure it'll come soon and that would mean another post. On another matter, some great reads are placed in the Module 1 library. I think I'll go back to that lots of times, if nothing else then just to refresh my memory. Thanks to Sonia Ruiz for sharing this with everyone on the MOOC.
DEFFINITION Key competences for lifelong learning are a combination of knowledge, skills and attitudes appropriate to the context. They are particularly necessary for personal fulfilment and development, social inclusion, active citizenship and employment.
Watching the video (and then reading the transcript) really made me think which of these eight key competences I possess.
I've just started PBL in my classroom and so far it's great! Students want more, they ask questions, and if before their parents were just the people they were trying to please, now they have to talk to their parents, gather information from them, sort it, draw conclusions etc. They love it, I love it and I really think it's going to give great results. Of course, there are students that still resist by not finishing their activities, but this is just the start. I believe that the majority that enjoy it will pull the resistant ones along and by the end of the PBL we'll all be satisfied. About the assessing I've used rubrics for assessment for about 8 years. It allows me to keep my students in check, but also to keep myself in check. I remember when I first started using rubrics, parents often asked why their child had lower grade than they expected. After getting introduced to and familiar with rubrics for different tasks, there were no more objections. They preferred my rubrics to vague reasons from some of my colleagues everytime. I considered myself average, and I really am! I'm not surprised or disappointed. After all, I'm here to learn and I know my post-self-assessment will be great! |
