Reflection
For the previous week, all the groups
present their own textbook evaluation using their own checklist and from that
we can see all of them come out with different views regarding to the
checklists. In addition, for this week we are given a task to evaluate the
English textbook by using the checklist and for my group we use the Grant
checklist. For the Catalyst test section, we did not encounter with any problem
and everything went smoothly as the criteria are quite direct.
However, when come to the
questionnaires part, we found that some of the questions are not clear enough
especially part 2 and part 3 of the questionnaire. We admit that, it is time
consuming for us to evaluate the textbook and some of the questionnaire is
regarding to teaching experience, thus we are unable to give a suitable answer
for that part because we do not have any experience in teaching.
From this task, I learnt a lot of
things especially when come to evaluation process where at this stage all of
our group members are giving out our own opinion regarding to certain aspect in
the checklist. We cannot deny that every of us have different views and because
of that by doing discussion regarding to the checklist, we are able to broaden
our knowledge. Moreover, for the Grant checklist, all of us share the same
thought that this checklist can help teacher to evaluate the books more easily
because it is not so detail like the other checklist.
In addition, from this task we are
exposed to many useful checklists which can be used to evaluate the books.
Thus, I am pretty sure that all of us have a clear guideline especially on
using which types of checklist in the future later on. Moreover, I also realize
that evaluation process is not that easy thus a careful decision should be made
so that a suitable checklist can be choose because by doing so we are able to
see what criteria of a good book should have.
