As I continue to learn about assessment I am now more
knowledgeable of how diverse and complex assessment could be. From Bloom’s
Taxonomy to Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Theory I am seeing the inter-connectivity of theories and as they relate to assessment. They
are also showing that assessment is not a standalone concept or practice. It is
linked to teaching and learning and it is almost impossible to accomplish without the occurrence of teaching or learning .
Hence while there might not be a set pattern in all cases that dictates
which comes first, in the classroom situation the three cannot be separated.
For me, a critical part of assessment can be seen as
‘assessing how students learn’. It should be done in all schools if not all
classes, since many teachers struggle or fail to first understand how their
students’ best learn.
