RELEVANCE OF ASSESSMENT TO STUDENTS

If the students are able to know their level of performance in their studies, they will become more determined to have achievement in their studies. They will be actively engaged in the learning process. They will be responsible and they will monitor if they do good or bad in their studies. They will be rebound to higher levels of motivation, self-concept and self-efficacy and better student achievement. Those are ways how assessment relates to students.

What is assessment? Assessment is the process where the teacher collects and interprets data about students learning. In assessment, the teacher does measuring, testing, and evaluating. If these happen and the outcomes of those will be told to the students there is really an effect. As Hornachoz (2015), a student said, assessment relates to students for this is a way to know the capabilities of a student, how determined the student to finish his/her studies and became successful, and also to know if the student is a fast or a slow learner.

Finally, assessment is important for students. Assessment tells what things that the student has or has not learned yet. It identifies the level of knowledge of the students. This information will become a sign about what sort of things a student needs to study more.
