Assessment

Throughout this series of Teacher Resources, examples of assessment as, for and of learning are included as appropriate. See Effective assessment for an explanation of these assessment terms.

The Teaching Notes section provides the context for assessment at various points during this learning sequence.

Assessment as learning: When students have used Kata-kata dasar several times, ask them to work with a partner to self-assess and peer-assess the understandings they have gained by using the learning object against some criteria (in Word or PDF).

Assessment for learning: When students have had a chance to explore the learning object more than once, assess students understanding of:

• what a Me-verb is
• the rules for creating Me- verbs from base words
• how to identify base words when given a Me-verb
• how to use the dictionary to find out the meaning of a Me-verb
• how to use a Me- verb correctly in a simple sentence.

This is easily done by giving students a Me- verb and asking them to explain to you how they would look it up in a dictionary, or working with their partner to complete a table similar to that done in the PeN-prefix extension activity.

Students' proficiency in Indonesian can be assessed against the Key Performance Measures for Indonesian Years 6/7 (in Word or PDF). A blank Master copy of the Key Performance Measures is available in the Resources section.
