CONTENT

            The standard student evaluation of learning must change. This is justified by the fact that not only has the new generation changed into digital learners, but the traditional world has metamorphosed into a digital world. Teachers must adopt a new mindset both for instruction and evaluation. Evaluation must be geared to assessment of essential knowledge and skills so that learners can function effectively, productively and creatively in a new world. It must use evaluative tools that measure the new basic skills of the 21st century digital culture, namely: solution fluency, information fluency, collaboration fluency, media fluency, creativity fluency and digital citizenship. These six fluencies reflect process skills. On the other hand,   the change in evaluation approach is referred to as mass amateurization, a term which implies a mass reach of student outputs. Our teacher and we wants to be flexible, analytical and creative in our own way of teaching in teaching process. Teachers facilitate and evaluate us with the use of technology learning.
