DESCRIPTION OF
HOW THE ASSESSMENT METHOD WAS USED

Traditional (pen and paper)
Oral Report
Oral
assessment
Informal Assessment
|
It was
used as a formative assessment to track their learning progress about the current
lesson.
The teacher grouped the class and
assigned a topic for each group. Representative in every group present their
topic in the class. Reporters were assessed according to their knowledge regarding
their respective topic, while the non-reporters, according to how they use
the information in answering some exercises.
Questions are posed by the teacher to
determine if students understand what has been presented. The strategy is also
used to develop the students’ courage in expressing themselves orally.
Teachers watch students respond to
questions and listens as they speak and discuss with others. They also observe
the students’ behavior, their gestures and body languages such as
attentiveness to the lesson and signs of boredom.
|

1. Was there a variety of assessment
methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the assessment method/s
used?
Yes, the teacher utilized a variety of
both formal and informal assessments. Through it, she was able to monitor and
track the students’ level of understanding. The data gathered serves as a basis
in making a decision as to whether she is going to re-teach the lesson and give
enrichment activities for better improvement, or will proceed to the next
lesson right away.
2. Do you think the expected students’
learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately
assessed through those assessment methods?
I think the instructional objectives set by the teachers
were appropriately assessed through the assessment methods that they used
because the two were inclined with each other. This is shown as students
respond to the question raised by their teacher. They are not merely receivers
of knowledge, but also contributors of information which helps in a better acquisition
of knowledge.

Reflection
Finding out what students
know and can do requires multiple sources of information and different types of
assessment. As I have observed, most of the assessment used are assessment for
learning, which is done before and during instruction. It is a combination of
both traditional and authentic form of assessment, but mostly they use the traditional
form. Assessments were conducted to determine the needs and ability levels of
learners for possible adjustments, and also to find out how learners are
progressing in their understanding.
With this observation,
I was able to identify the assessment strategies utilized by the teachers and
how it affect the learning behavior and acquisition of knowledge by the
students.

Teacher’s Learning Objectives:
At the end of the lesson, the students shall be able to:
a. Use the periodic table of elements to identify atom properties such as groups and electron configurations
b. Write the predicted electron configuration of elements.
c. To draw the orbital diagram based from electron configuration of elements.
|
Desired conditions and criterion levels of the learning objectives:
Learning Objectives guide the teachers to pursue the right aims. They provide the basis of the tests and examinations to be prepared. The objectives must have the SMART characteristics. When the objectives are specific and formulated in terms of student behavior, they are more understandable. It is easy to get the meaning of a particular objective.
|
Other notes:
It is important to use assessment tools and strategies that is aligned with the given learning objectives. Though it, teachers can determine the students’ strengths and weaknesses and can evaluate their progress.

1. Do you think the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately assessed by your test items?
Yes, I think the learning objectives were properly assessed by the test items because there was congruency between the learning objectives and the assessment tool that was used.
2. Why do you have to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool?
The assessment tool to be used must be always aligned with the learning objectives because they are always related in terms of improving the leaning outcomes. It is very much needed to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool for it will serve as a guide as to what assessment tool that is appropriate and should be used as the strategy for the presentation and discussion for a good interaction. Through the use of assessment tool we can determine if the learning objectives are achieved or not, and will serve as a basis for the revision of the instruction if the learning objectives are not achieved.
Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
PEACE CONCEPT ON FOCUS
Assessment is a way to evaluate the understanding and learning of students. The assessment to be used must be fair, appropriate, valid and reliable in order to have a high quality assessment.
In assessment, fairness is not only a matter of teachers’ attitude towards students. It also involves the use of assessment tools that are appropriate, valid and reliable. A fair assessment provides all students with an equal opportunity to demonstrate achievement. Students should have knowledge of the learning targets and assessment, they must be free from biased assessment task and procedures.
The assessment to be used must always be appropriate to the level of the learners and of course with the lesson to be discussed on the subject matter. It is a must also that the output of the assessment will be known in order to know if they understood the lesson or not.t
As teachers, we must be skillful in designing a test and interpreting the results of objective test so as to achieve a high quality assessment.
EPISODE 3
LOG ME
Name of FS Student: Jasmin B. Del Rosario
Course: BSE

Resource Teacher: Mrs.
Lorna Obedoza
Cooperating School: Isabela National High School
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
Questions:
1. Why do you
think using authentic assessment important?
2. How does
it differ from other forms of assessment?
3. How
effective is authentic assessment as an assessment tool?
4. How can
you say that authentic assessment is accurate and valid?
Responses:
1. Using
Authentic assessment is important because it shows how the students are
performing in the class. We can say that a students is learning or had
learned something if they exhibit the competencies and behavior expected from
them.
2. Compared
to other forms of assessment, authentic assessment does not have a single or
short correct answer. Thus, it is not confined to what is written in the book
or the information given to them by the teacher. Students may discover or
unlock their hidden abilities as they go through the tasks.
3. It enables
the students to become active and thoughtful learners as they involve
themselves in the different activities required for them to do. As much as
possible, I give them tasks where they can relate their own experiences so
they may know what to do if ever they encounter it in real life.

Analysis
1. What is Authentic
Assessment?
Authentic assessment is the form of assessment where students undergo in meaningful performance tasks which are similar to what they encounter in the real world as contrast to what is encountering only in the school. Students acquire a first hand experience by engaging themselves in performing the tasks, which can either be process or product-based.
2. How was authentic
assessment used? Was it used to measure learning through the product?
Authentic assessment used by the teacher is a portfolio, where students compile all their written outputs and works. It is a dynamic process of gathering information about the learners'achievement and development.
