EPISODE 1
MY ASSESSMENT LIST
|
My Target
At
the end of this activity, you will be competent in identifying and naming
different assessment methods used in the classroom.
My Task
·
Observe at least three classes and
make a list of the assessment methods used by teachers.
·
In my list, classify assessment
methods as to conventional and authentic and alternative.
·
Describe how each assessment method
was used, including my personal observations.
·
Confer with my FS teacher for the
assessment list.
·
Reflect on my experience.
My Tools
As you visit
schools and observe assessment practices in at least three classes, document
your observations using the activity forms provided for you in this reference.
For your pen-and-paper test items, customize a table of specification, and
prepare the test material based on the prescriptions of the school where you do
class observation.

Analysis
1.
Was there a variety of assessment
methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the assessment method/s
used?
Yes there was a validity of assessment
methods for the teachers applied different methods in assessing their students.
The assessment methods used were relevant with
the learning objectives and they are applied properly.
2.
Do you think the expected students’
learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately
assessed through those assessment methods?
Yes, because the teacher applied the
different assessment methods fairly with its validity and alignment with the
learning targets.
My Reflections
Assessment is a
need in education.Through this, teachers would be able to assess their selves
if they really attained their learning targets. It is also a big help to them,
because they would be able to know their students strengths and weaknesses.

Analysis
1.
Do you think the teacher’s learning
objectives was appropriately assessed by your test items?
Yes, because the
test items used to assess the students is correlated to the teacher’s learning
objectives and test items was equally divided with different domains of
learning.
2.
Why do you have to study the teacher’s
learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool?
Because the assessment tool to be
develop will always depend on the set learning objective and should always be
associated with them. This will enable us to choose the appropriate assessment
toolsto be use and it helpus to have better understanding on how they will be
applied.
Reflection
Write your
personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace Concept on Focus.
Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
EQUALITY in education can
lead a peaceful and better learning process. As the students to their best
while they are being assess, teachers must have fair and appropriate way of
assessing them. They should always consider the learning the targets and the
assessment tools to be used.
And
as a future educator it is not a challenge for me but an OPPORTUNITY. That I
should not only teach and make sure that my students understand the topic but
it is an opportunity to show my love and respect to them, through exercising
EQUALITY in all circumstances.
EPISODE 3
LOG ME

My Target
At the end of this activity, you
will be informed on the principles of authentic assessment and its usefulness
in the classroom.
My Task
Authentic
assessment is an alternative way of assessing students’ learning to be able to
use it, you must have a deep understanding of it. To help you reach your goal,
do the following task:
1.
Visit a classroom and interview the
teacher on his/her experiences in using authentic assessment.
2.
Describe how the teacher uses the
authentic assessment.
3.
Write a reflective journal on the
activity.
My Tools
For this learning
activity, please document the information gathered from the interview with the
teacher on authentic assessment. Write your documentation using the activity
form provided for you.
MY INTERVIEW
NOTES
his subject matter
requires different skills to be learned. So as a teacher I choose to apply
the authentic assessment. Because through this my students will have an
experience in real world environment. They learn as they put it into action
the given task to them.
|
1. What is Authentic
Assessment?
This is the assessment that
concentrates in the existence of fact and deals with sensibility. This means
that this assessment focuses on the application of task in real world setting. Authentic assessments,
students are given tasks to perform that have applications in real life rather
than just selecting an answer, as is the case on a standardized test
2. How was authentic
assessment used? Was it used to measure learning through the product?
The
teacher used authentic assessment by letting his students make their own
garden. The students cultivate the soil and plant seed. They are the one who
experience or put into action the task had given to them. Yes it was used
to measure learning through the product.
Reflection
What are your insights and feelings
about the use of authentic assessment?
For me the application of authentic
assessment is one of the best ways in assessing the students, because through
this they can relate much they are the one directly do the action.
Describe
how the teacher used the authentic assessment?
The
teacher used authentic assessment by letting his students make their own
garden. The students cultivate the soil and plant seed. They are the one who
experience or put into action the task had given to them.
How did you feel about the teacher’s
experience in the use of authentic assessment?
I
feel great because I am now more knowledgeable on how authentic assessment
can be applied and on how it contribute to the development of one’s life, for
its gives true to life experience.
What
could be the gains of the students and teachers in using authentic
assessment?
Authentic
assessment can give the teacher more direct evidence about how the student
arrives at an answer and takes some of the guesswork out of trying to
understand how much a student has really learned. And it allows students to
find a way to demonstrate their knowledge that best suits them.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Which part of the teacher’s use of authentic assessment do you
feel like improving or revising?
The teacher should put an innovation on using authentic
assessment, which still provides learning to all the students. Ensuring the
fairness to all the students to be assess.

EPISODE 4
WORK ME ON
Name of FS Student: Rochelle S. Balmes
Course: BSE
Resource Teacher: Mrs.Ameliana Rodriguez
Cooperating School: INHS
My Target
At the end of this activity, you will be skilful in designing
process – oriented performance assessment.
MY TASK
After your observation experience you now have a deeply and principled
understanding of the concepts of authentic assessment used in the classroom.
You can now go through the process of designing performance assessment by the
following these steps:
1. Visit a class and identify performance-based activities.
2. Choose one performance-based activity and study its process.
3. Design a performance assessment plan for the activity you have
chosen.
4. Collect samples of performance-based assessment tools.
5. Reflect on your experience.
MY TOOLS
In observing a class, take note of important observations of the
performance-based activity in the classroom. Make a checklist of the important
things you want to consider in your assessment planning. Use the activity form
provided for you. You may use format of process-oriented assessment that you
have taken in your assessment 2 class. The rubrics are part and parcel of this
assessment plan.
Based on your observation, make a checklist of the important things you wish to consider in your performance-based assessment plan.
ANALYSIS
1. Why do teachers need to give attention to the
students’ process-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?
Teachers
need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented task, because for me
performing the given task is very important matter that reflects a learner. The
teacher needs to monitor the students as they perform the task so that he could
be able to guide and correct them if they fail to follow instruction. For a
single miss or mistake in following the procedures can lead to failure of the
task.
2. In what conditions can the
process-oriented performance assessment be used appropriately
Process oriented performance can be used to measure students’ ability to follow instructions. It also measure students’ psycho motor domain on how students able to perform the desired task following the given procedures. Here are some conditions to be made directly or indirectly:
The
purpose of the assessment should benefit the learners and must be aligned to
the learning objective. If the learners’ competencies where enough to sustain
the activity.Instruction or directions in doing the task must comprehendible. And if the learning environment was suitable
to them.
Reflection
Make reflections
on your feelings and thoughts about the observations made in this FS.
.
Student performance evaluations are an
important way for teachers to assess the effectiveness of their instruction.
However, teachers should first determine what information they want to gather
from their student performance evaluations. By setting goals for the
information you want to gather from your student performance evaluations, you
will be able to better tailor your class to the learning styles of your
students.
Process-oriented performance assessment emphasis on student’s ability to
perform tasks by following instruction with their knowledge and skills.
Future educator we must always put in our mind how important assessment
is. Whatever type of assessment we will apply, we need to consider its fairness
and effectiveness.

EPISODE 5
BUILD ME UP
Name of FS Student: Rochelle S. Balmes
Course: BSE
Resource Teacher: Mrs.Ameliana Rodriguez
Cooperating School: INHS
My Target
At
the end of this activity, you will be skilful in designing product-oriented
performance assessment.
Your Task
Design
a product-oriented performance assessment by going through the process through
the following steps:
1.
Visit a class and
identify product-oriented activities.
2.
Choose one
product-oriented activity and study the process.
3.
Design a performance
assessment plan for the product-oriented activity you have chosen.
4.
Develop a portfolio
of your assessment plan.
5.
Reflect on your
experience.
Analysis
·
Do you think your
originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately
assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?
Yes,
because as long as the task designed is justifiable match for the targeted
content and applied in most appropriate way.
·
Why do teachers need
to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to
assess them?
The
teacher needs to give attention to the students product oriented task, because
the teachers’ guidance and assistance to the students can lead to proper
performance of the task. Giving attention to them can help them a good quality
and well- refined product.
The
teachers need to assess students because assessment is not just a part of
education. But it is an umbrella concept that encompasses different teaching
strategies and uses.
·
In what conditions can the
product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?
The product-oriented performance
assessment is can be used when the teacher wants to assess the students
different learning competencies in making an output.
Reflections
Write
your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights
or new understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment. Then
share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates. Also draw some
insights from your classmates’ sharing.
After
answering all the questions in this field study I realized that as a future
teacher we should be more observant and give more attention to our
pupils/students because all of them have a different characteristics and
capabilities that we should enhance through the use of different methods,
strategies and assessment tools. Also, after answering this field study I
understand how a teacher should be in dealing his/her pupils. And through this
I have learned many things that I can use when I am already in the field of
teaching. That in giving assessment is a task that we need to think and examine
carefully and we should based it on the learners and the learning objectives
for it to be successfully done.
The Field Study 5 serves as an eye opener for
me, because through this, I now understand how important the role of a teacher
to his/her students’ life. Our role as educator could change the future of this
generation.
The FS5 which is entitled “Learning Assessment
Strategies” erudite me on how can I give a high quality assessment to my future
students. It also clarifies the things I should consider in designing and
applying a task. Assessment is not just a basis in giving grades but a key to
develop one’s strength and improve one’s weakness. Education without assessment
is stagnant.
To our future students we should give not only
knowledge but wisdom, not only courage but boldness, and not only a change but
a transformation. We should not just teach them but we must love them.
