Your Target

At the end of this activity, you will be keen at identifying and naming different assessment methods used in the classroom.

Your Map

To be aware of the assessment tools that are used in the classrooms, you will find interest in observing teachers’ assessment practices.

To hit your Target, work your way through these steps:

To hit my Target, I will work my way through these steps:

Step 1: Observe at least three classes and make a list of the assessment methods used by the teacher.

Step 2: In your list, classify assessment methods as to conventional and authentic/alternative.

Step 3: Describe hoe each assessment method was used, including your personal observations.

Step 4: Confer with your FS teacher your assessment list.

Step 5: Reflect on your own experience.






Your Tools

As you visit schools and observe assessment practices in at least three classes, documents your observation using the activity forms provided for you. 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.

(Bulleted description of how the Assessment method is used relative to subject matter

levels of learning behavior length; etc,)

1. Teaching Behavior of the Teacher/Learning Behavior of the Learner as Proof of the Application of the Principle of Learning

2. As I observed in the midst of discussion, the teacher asked question to the learners and occurrence of ideas or exchange of knowledge were being noticed. This is one way to evaluate the understanding of the learners to the topic introduced to them.

3. . Assessment tool/activity should match with performance objective.

As I observed in the classroom, the activity that was given by the teacher is consistent to the performance objective. The teacher also introduced and viewed to the students some examples of contraceptives in order for the teacher to reach her objectives and for the learners to understand well the lesson.

1. Give some positive feedback with not so good ones.

During the discussion, different opinions of students were raised; some opinions were well accepted and some were far beyond to the question thrown but then the teacher managed it. If the answer of the learner was not exactly the point was she accepted and tried to elaborate so that the learners understand it well.

2. Emphasize on self-assessment. The teacher assesses herself before entering to the classroom because self-assessment is very important especially for her because it is one way to evaluate if the strategies used is effective.

3. Assessment of learning should never be used as punishment or as disciplinary measure.

Assessment of learning was not used to punished students instead it is used to measure the knowledge and understanding of the learners.

4. Emphasize on real world application that favors realistic performances over out-of-context drills.

I observed that the teacher favors realistic performance because she gives activities that the learners develop their skills such as drawing in relation with their lesson. The learners enjoyed their different activities.

5. Results of learning assessment must be communicated regularly to parents.

The teacher practice keeping accurate records and communicate them to parents in the best mean way possible. Records of the students’ progress were sent to the parents quarterly or every grading period.






Your Analysis

Your Reflections

Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/ were the assessment method/s used?

Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviors indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?






Peace Concept on Focus

APPROPRIATENESS

Appropriateness in the use of any method of assessment is not just something that teachers wish to consider, but rather an

indispensable principle of fair assessment practices. If taken for granted, our evaluation of students’ learning is erroneous,

misleading and unfair.

Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the important use of appropriate assessment methods in the classroom, including what students and teacher can gain from appropriate assessment tools. Share your reflection wit your FS teacher and classmates.

One thing was on my mind whenever I read or heard the Principles of Assessment of Learning

because of the scenario happened way back in my high school days. The principle no. 5 of

assessment of learning which is the “Give some positive feedback along with not so good”, was

violated by my teacher in chemistry. In the midst of our discussion, she called my name to

answer the question thrown to the class. I tried to answer the right thing I know and best way I

possibly do but then unfortunately I did not got exactly the point was. She then got mad and

uttered improper words inside the class that spoiled our remaining time in that subject. A word

like “idiot” was cursed in my face in that moment of time. That word affects me so much; it

degraded my confidence. This scene always in my mind whenever my teacher asked a question

most especially when they call my name until this moment of time. I don’t have the guts

anymore to express my idea because

I doubt and

I always think that what is in my

mind is not appropriate and it is

wrong. I don’t want to be

embarrassed inside the class again

just like what had happened in my

high school time.
