Economics & Management Sciences - Term 1 - Week 10

Assessment is the process of evaluating or measuring a person's understanding or skills in a particular area. Reflection, on the other hand, involves thinking about what you have learned and how you can improve. For example, after completing a project, you might assess how well you did and reflect on what you could do differently next time. This helps you grow and learn from your experiences.

Imagine you took a test on money management. After receiving your score, you assess your performance by identifying which questions you got wrong and why. This assessment helps you understand your strengths and areas for improvement. For instance, if you struggled with calculating change, you know to practice that skill more.

Let's have a class discussion about a recent project you completed. Think about the following questions: What did you learn? What challenges did you face? How did you overcome them? Share your thoughts with a partner, and then we will discuss as a class. This will help us practice reflecting on our learning experiences together.

For this mini-project, you will create a poster that reflects on a recent lesson or project you completed in class. Include the following: 1) What you learned, 2) What you found easy or difficult, 3) How you can improve next time. Use drawings, words, or both to express your thoughts. Be prepared to share your poster with the class and explain your reflections.
