Maimo constructivism videos

Maimo Natalia Gisel.

The aim of this essay is to show the evaluations on the videos at the platform.

The videos are about authentic material, alternative assessment and students project. In these videos we can see different evaluations referring to constructivism.

On the first video the teacher evaluates the oral production and fluency of her students using authentic material. On the video we can see different authentic material such as realia (objects), printed texts, images and multimedia. These are tools to develop our classes but they are also a way to evaluate our students productions.in this video the focus is on the material that we choose for students.

On the second video the topic is alternative assessment in which you can directly evaluate the learner language skills by using their language to communicate or for a purpose . we must take into account that the evaluation criteria will differ depending on the level and the aim of the lesson. for example, the portfolio is a way to evaluate the progress of students by collecting their material and showing them their progress.

On the last video the children make a project of a plane and this is how they are evaluated. The teacher guides them but the idea is theirs. Students are proud of their own progress and teachers too.

Finally, the videos used to evaluate the progress of students. That is the aim of constructivism. Every student has a unique way of building their knowledge and a different time for it. Evaluating their progress is the best way to give them a feedback because here we take into account that they are all different and their progress will be different too. The feedback is about the process in which they get into the result and not focus just on the result.
