Summative Assessment

Assessment 1: Educational Artefact
 This presentation is based on Reflection as it allows students to present certain skills and ideas
that may be missing from their other artefacts.
 With the help of reflection, the students and teachers both can express their experience,
feelings and thoughts.
 With the support of reflection, I can easily develop my academic skills as now I can know
about my strengths and weaknesses.
 Reflective practice in teaching involves examining one’s underlying beliefs about learning and
teaching with actual classroom practice, during, before and after a course.
 As we all know that by using reflection practice while teaching, instructors think critically
about their way of teaching and look for evidence whether they are able to provide effective
teaching to students or not.
