Assessment (2)
In the second lesson of this theme we continued to have an earlier lesson in the assessment article, and we remembered a reminder of the previous lesson, and some teachers participated in general.
In this lesson we are talking about assessment methods/tools, we discussed some questions about this subject Here we learned that there are several types of assessment methods, including a set of strategies, techniques, and tools to collect information for and why using various methods is important for assessment, and we understood that using one way is difficult to achieve a proper assessment.
In response to what way to be used to evaluate, reminding what students want to use is to decide what way we can use it.
And what questions need answers to get experience and knowledge from it, having resources and results should all be considered.
The sources should be cared for whether students are available to look for it and care about how useful it is for students, and we also talked about evaluating students directly and indirectly, which includes exams, presenting a subject or speech demonstration by learners, while indirect  methods such as surveys and interviews learners reflection on their learning.
About the guidelines for selecting assessment methods:
Collect information to answer the program's questions and use different ways to evaluate and learn the result, and these assessments include both direct and indirect fields for the way they evaluated, Consider both quantity and quality points in the evaluation and also choosing a way to allow evaluation to include both strengths and weaknesses.
We also talked about evaluating information that allows students to decide whether they are ready to practice or not.
And this is why it is like a feedback for the student to show us the weak and strong side of our student and gives a feedback to the student, and to benefit the foundation itself, and gives a feedback to the teacher himself too and we learned that another person of this assessment would eventually be given a document to reuse.
Then a lot of talk was made by the course participants on Multiple Choice, The opinions were different, some of them were in the evaluations, but others were not with that view, according to my experience, when I am a teacher, this method of evaluation has harmed the student because it has decreased the student level in terms of expressing writing when the student goes to university, and i have the problem of expressing a problem writing and with the opinion that the various questions are followed.
About the short answer, the questions were close to each other as filling the opinion spacing, and I thought it was important and the questions should have a variety of questions, then single essay question and the project group which is now being done in the world on the basis of the evaluation project.
We talked about the experience of evaluating that the learner would apply if he had a complete understanding of the skill come to a complete test.

In the third week and those in the seventh lesson talked about assessment, real evaluation in a way that is appropriate and we talked about some types of evaluation.
It is worth mentioning that most of the developed countries in the world, such as Europe and the United States, have gone to learning based on projects. And that is because they believe that teaching based on projects is one of the most effective methods of teaching that can change teaching from an annoying process to an active and effective system, to be able to get students for the 21st century.
One of the questions that came forward that we were asked as participants of the course was why do we assess or evaluate?
Some points were mentioned including guiding the learning process or helping learn the process  and to have evidence in the end and to determine the level of student information, we understood some of this article and finally when you give it a certificate, how much it knows how far it has gone through some processes that have received some experiences and information.
What I understood in this section is that we evaluate it to do a form of justice, students believe in the rate that they have achieved their rights and duties, and they have had good results, and they can develop their experience through the evidence that they have achieved at the end.
One of the questions is what do we evaluate? I learned that students were evaluated to encourage and discuss learning information as an experience with that success.
Another question of how we evaluate it? It became clear to me that students should start at a low level of information that students know and then go to a higher level that the student may not know, and then and we learned how this is achieved. Students should express themselves in front of their friends and in front of their teacher in a professional way. Through it, we can evaluate the soft skills.
Then through another question how do we do a good assessment?
We have to focus on some points including:
Reliability, validity, the testing format and content validity and educational impact.
To evaluate between a weak and good student, the assessment must be reliable, and the scale must be considered, format tests and validity of the content and educational effect. Then we were answered  to add some more points. I suggested that teachers should be introduced to the subject of a proper assessment by opening the course.
The comment that was interesting to me was not just a measure of a student's evaluation, because students could have a problem, and the assessment would not be a measure to make the student's scientific level weak. Another comment from group 3 that was important to me was to evaluate the level of student listening to the scientific side in different ways. Another comment, in my opinion is that Be loyal and his passion is very important for his work which has some ways and teaching methods.
One of the questions we discussed was when we do assess (Timing)?
One of those points are Summative assessment, summative evaluation, or assessment of learning is the assessment of participants where the focus is on the outcome of a program, this way will be done at the end of the course.
Formative assessment is an organized systematic evaluation process that occurs during teaching with the aim of helping the teacher and student to improve the learning process and find out how advanced the student is. Assessment for learning (formative) this method will be done during the course.
Assessment as learning will evaluate this at any time.
One of the changes in the evaluation style.
In Pedagogical change in assessment, I learned in section the aim is that in the past the old way of assessment is to control the management but, now supports learning.
Another change is that the evaluation has been done separately in terms of preparing the test, but the evaluation has now been included in the learning process. Another change in the previous test was the only way to evaluate, but now a variety of ways and tools are used.
The evaluations were done at the end of the course in the past, but now we have some types of evaluations such as: self –assessment, peer- assessment and assessment and feedback from networks.
I learned that various methods should be used to evaluate because students' interest in experience and learning increases.

Before we started the course, we were given a record on YouTube the day before we started to discuss it the next day, and the record was about how to teach and learn.

The record under the title of (Teaching in the teaching methods for Inspiring the students of the future) process presented by( Joe Ruhl)

After listening to the record, many students in the course expressed their opinions on the subject, I also participated in the article according to my own interpretation of (Joe Ruhl), saying That I am used to working with enthusiastic and creative people between the ages of 14 and 18, according to Joe, so teaching for that age can be inspiring and effective. He thought it was difficult for adults to influence them , as he says when He says when I don't know how to deal with my elders.

He also mentions that 37 years of education experience, there are two things we need education through learning and the relationship between teachers and students.

He talks about the old teaching system that teachers stand in front of students and give information and students are not allowed to talk to each other, the teacher transfers information to students and then through testing the students will determine the measure of intelligence and weakness.

In his clear opinion, in the 21st century, we need to pass this method of teaching and follow a new way of teaching how to inspiration students and the way students desire to follow what they like, noting that students like when they stand in the cafeteria.

Something interesting to me was that the students told Joe Ruhl that he doesn't like your subject that you tell us but we like the children of the class, And one of his words was that he said that they often forgot that I was in class and thought that this was a very good thing.

He also talks about that the teacher should transfer himself in the middle class to have a more effective and direct role not a judge on the stage and this allows students not to learn but as a training, In the fields of critical thinking, sharing, contacting, and changing information with the student and with the teacher himself.

According to my understanding, so we need to reduce the control role we have in class so that students can add inspiration to teaching, If today's global system is going to spy in the field of air, traffic, and military, but this cannot be done in education because education if it does not produce a healthy generation in education.

Another side of the lecture, we talked about time management, Many of my colleagues have said that time must be considered, in a way that if a problem arises, it must be saved to the end of the course because the ability to solve it will be easier and will not take time in the course.

In my opinion, in managing time, we should consider that we should keep the field for asking questions.

We also talked about flipped learning and also the Traditional of teaching Which has a big role in teaching and learning.

We talked about the best way of teaching to consider time, first greeting students, and also in a way that we first show a summary of the previous topic, then introduce new lessons and talk about the content for a subject if we don't understand, to bring them back to them as my new topic. Let's finally leave a few minutes to ask.

Students can be asked to look for an analysis of a question that will be searched outside the institution.

Learning Environments
Mariwan Abdalla
In the second week of the fourth lesson, we studied the learning environment that the subject was presented by Dr. Karwan.
Learning environment refers to the diverse physical location, contexts and cultures in which students learn. Since learners must do the learning, the aim is to create a total environment that optimizes the ability of students to learn.
Many teachers have expressed their opinions and notes on this subject, we talked about library, freedom of student .
One teacher criticized the fact that we have many laboratory problems in universities and libraries in general, which he thought was impossible to do, for example the electronic library, and that libraries had not become a place to learn and search. Another participant pointed out that in his experience studied abroad, the government cares a lot about this issue and in his opinion,our government has neglect in this regard.
Although I am with their opinions, how can one have a hand in creating a problem and can solve it. From that point of view, I learned as I did, we have to show the problems to find a solution for them. In my opinion, no problem is impossible to solve.
Then Mr. Dr. Karwan showed us a video about what we mean, the environment of learning, about how we create a suitable environment for students to learn.
I understood that the learning environment is not just a class subject related to the student himself, it's related to the environment that he gives information from, and the student asks why he's looking for the source and the idea is created for him and talked about how the learning paths are, what is the class, what is it, they are context.
The video also discussed the teacher's behavior, how it fits your class with your culture, also talked about how students can search for information and practice.
We talked about the facilities that make students like to get information, the various sports to entertainment because if the learning environment is inappropriate, you will not receive any information by the student. Here we mean the reasons for giving comfort to students besides learning.
In my opinion, hobbies and motivation are one of the most important reasons for learning, because unfortunately, as far as we destroy our surroundings, we don't have enough encouragement to learn success  in a way that a student in developed countries who is weak can become an inventor, but in our country, we try to destroy a successful person.
A group of respected teachers also talked about the environment of our universities, which is very inappropriate for learning and thought it was good to study outside, not in Kurdistan, but to be very tired of research, in terms of lack of adequate resources and the reasons that make students comfortable in providing laboratory needs for their special departments.
I completed my study in Turkey and the needs needed were provided in terms of comfort, learning, sports and accommodation for students and food.
I learned that in this subject  that teacher should aim to encourage students to try if they do the teaching process properly.
We also talked about the results of learning to create a proper learning environment; we need one of the ways of teaching to learn in a proper way, how do you arrange class details?
We talked about the details of the class and I learned that the details of the class start from the smallest thing in your clothes that do not have a student's attention and influence on the student environment in terms of boards and class decoration seating. A point that is very important should be honest with students because the opposite will have a negative impact on student. Give it on time because if you eat the student's rest then the students feel unhappy and cannot obtain the information properly.
Finally, I say that the learning environment should be provided for students to provide their interests because it is clear that in the future they will become a pillar of community management and development.

In the first week and the second lessons we talked about some soft skills in question, What are the 21century skills?

We have been standing on this subject for five minutes to answer this question Some teachers participated in answering this question and gave their notes.

I participated in a comment as I did and thought that despite your experience in a field you should have experience in some other fields especially in the field of information technology. As computer use, the educational programs because all of them go to the training service and eventually becomes an experience for the expert teacher in the subject, time management is very important to me on time.

I looked at many of my comments, many of them were beautiful comments.

In my opinion, to be an active person as I mentioned, you need to have experience in some languages because you become a researcher, and researchers need to be followed up, and translation is very necessary in this field except for the mother tongue. Because learning methods do not only care about your expertise in your field, but also what other experiences you need in other fields.

One of the comments that attracted my attention was M. Jamaladdin's comment that he mentioned, patience and tolerance with students and acceptance of criticism on the condition of the creator's criticism. Creating a relationship between university and student families in a way that is necessary when there is a problem such as illness or anything else.

In the subject of critical thinking, a group of dear teachers participated in the best opinion for me, It was also mentioned that the teacher should have a curriculum to go on, but he can modernize and invent according to his experience in his field using learning methods, and in critical thinking, he should follow the criticism that I had the same opinion in the past that I mentioned.

In the first week and the first lesson we talked about some features about which is search and we talked about some information technology, One of the questions that was directed to the participants of our course was( What dose ‘pedagogy mean’ to you?

(The question was election) Many dear teachers participated in answering this question. I thought that the first choice was true, which was the art of teaching, and about 79 percent of the participants chose the same point, and 16 percent thought it was teaching methods, a view that the learning environment had achieved 5 percent.

Then M.Miran mentioned some programs that we can benefit from in teaching and learning as a padlet. I didn't use this program before, and it was a new experience for me.

Another program called Mentimeter that can be very useful in the field of questioning the form of elections

Then one of the other questions that some teachers commented and discussed (What would you expect to learn from innovative pedagogy and assessment module?

I liked the opinion that it was about getting information and developing capabilities on how to write and manage classes successfully.

We also thought that in this model we would learn the ways of teaching successfully, the problems facing the teaching and learning process, the use of learning tools.

And we thought that the way of managing the class through the environment that needs to be created to achieve the goal of learning is very important.

It was pointed out that students should be allowed to prepare a subject to play the role of a teacher and this makes the subject remain in the student's mind.

It was also suggested that e-mail answers be answered on time, so that we could find appropriate analysis for them in order to seek more solutions and problems.

Also, it was talked about which one is better than centering teachers and students.

In response, it was talked about that we can't give up one of them for the other for some information we need to center the teacher for others by centering students so that the environment of learning and teaching decides on this subject.
We also talked about learning language beside mother tongue that many teachers needed to know some languages so successful in the field of looking for new and modern sciences to reach a suitable way of teaching and learning through it.

There's a saying that says:(Every tongue in the truth is for women), It is true that we should respect our language but because we have a lack of resources in terms of translation, so we need to know other languages to avoid the development of human society in these scientific developments and the development of today's world of technology.

I thought besides what teachers generally talked about, I thought that the way the class was taught would be one of the options we're talking about, how to start, content, and the end of the subject in a way that the student's desire to be considered so that the lesson can be effective will create the desire to learn.
