It's been a while since I've last developed my own classroom assessments, but I always wanted to improve on how I make them. Last time I felt my assessment/test was effective was when I strictly followed the assigned weight of each Bloom's taxonomy level based on our curriculum. I hope to learn from you based on actual experience.
Over the past few semesters, I have implemented a pedagogical strategy in higher education that has demonstrated positive outcomes. Following the first assessment—which consists of practical activities and group seminars—I introduce a self-assessment process in which each student evaluates their own contribution, taking into account the grade assigned by the instructor and the in-class group discussions. This stage has produced a noteworthy effect: students become more aware of the importance of active engagement and consistent study habits. Consequently, I have observed a significant improvement in their performance on subsequent assessments, which are conducted individually.
