Ms. Vijayalakshmi asks her Grade 5 students to write an essay on 'Myself'. Post the assignment, which of the following questions would MOST help use this exercise for "assessment as learning"?

Option 4 : How did you decide which things about yourself to include in the essay?

Assessment is a process of collecting, receiving, and using data for the purpose of improvement in the learning process. It assesses both scholastic and co-scholastic aspects of a child's growth.

Assessment as learning:

• It is entirely student-controlled and emphasizes the role of the student as the critical connector between assessment and learning.
• This practice helps learners to identify their knowledge gaps, adopt appropriate learning strategies and use assessment as a tool for new learning.
• It encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning. It requires students to ask questions about their learning and encourages peer assessment, self-assessment, and reflection.
• Questions - How did you decide which things about yourself to include in the essay? would MOST help to use the essay-written exercise for "assessment as learning" as this question will involve students in monitoring their thinking and assessing their performance by reflecting on results.

Hint

• What is your most favourite activity? - This is just a question that will not involve students in any type of assessment. The rest two questions are not related to assessment as learning as one question is asking students to compare with others while the rest question is asking to include more points in the essay.

Hence, it is clear that How did you decide which things about yourself to include in the essay is the correct answer.
