Analysis
1. Do you think the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately
assessed by your test items?
Yes, the test items were appropriately
assessed because the test items are aligned in the teachers learning
objectives and in the test items we've done are based on the high quality
assessment which is valid practical and efficient to the
students.
2. Why do you have to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to
developing an assessment tool?
It
is very much needed to develop the assessment tool, because this will serve as
guide on what assessment tool and method we are going to used that is
appropriate to the lesson and to the capabilities of every student, this is
important in order to achieve the learning outcomes and objectives which is
designed and aligned for the learners.
Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace
Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
As a future educator the
assessment tools must be aligned to the level of the learners there are some
teachers that uses an specific assessment method such as quizzes and activities
in order to get the attention of the students and also to assure if they
understood the lesson or not.

Analysis
1. Was there a variety of
assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the assessment
method/s used?
Yes, there is a variety of assessment methods that is used by the teacher such as performance based assessment, pencil and paper test (essays,quizzes) and oral strategy(oral recitation). These assessment methods are relevant most specially the performance based assessment because of their field of specialization which is Technology and Livelihood Education which has different shops that requires skill and performance, the assessment methods are also relevant because they are based and aligned from the instructional objectives.
2. Do you think the expected
students’ learning behaviors indicated in the objectives were
properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?
Yes , because every assessment methods has different tasks to
achieve the expected learning behaviors for the students, these assessment
methods has different qualities to assess the students for making decisions
and judgments that is suited for every learners .
Reflections
As we observe the class , the
teacher discuss and delivers his lesson very well, he makes the class
discussion always alive by inserting some jokes that is related to the lesson.
I have learned that as a teacher you must always consider a healthy
psychological climate in the class , a good and effective communication with
the learners and also assuring that the students had learn and understand
the lessons by using assessment methods that is appropriate for the
learners. These assessment methods must be aligned with the
instructional objectives that can be attained by the students.

MY
INTERVIEW NOTES
Students
Interview with the Teacher
Student: Good morning Sir!
Teacher: Good morning too, what can I do for
you?
Student: Sir may I have a short interview
Teacher: Okay. Please take your sit first. What
do you want to know from me?
Student: Thank you sir, may I know sir your
complete name and the subject your teaching?
Teacher: My name is Marcelo Simon, and I am
teaching T.L.E. (Agriculture) subject Grade 7 students.
Student: Great sir. How many years you are in
service sir and what are those different methods used in recording
your student’s progress?
Teacher: This is actually my 32nd year of teaching in this institution and I am
using a
Class
record, checklist as a guideline listing skills, behaviors, or characteristics
to record my observations of
students as they perform certain tasks. There are also student checklists used
by students for self-assessment purposes.
Student:
Do you have a time saving tips in checking
your student’s papers?
Teacher: For me, I usually check the papers
during my free time in school so that I would not
be bothered to do other things when I am at home or outside the campus. Sometimes we check the papers just
after the recorded activities.
Student: Sir, how do you score the papers,
projects and other written assignment? Do you have certain procedures?
Teacher: I am scoring their output depends on
what kind of assessment that I used. For instance, I gave them a quiz and
mostly a set of objectives and an essay so in objective, it is easy because you
have just to count how many correct answer they got but in essay or any other
written assessment in form of paragraph, I am using a certain criteria to make
it fair.
Student: Sir, when do you conduct the test and
how do you the results filed?
Teacher: In here, we are giving the test
quarterly. Of course, we do checking and recording but we let the students see
their papers and return it to us for our file. If in case a problem will occur
with our students, we have evidence, so the parents of the learners are open to
see also the record of their child.
Student: How can a variety of assessment
strategies co-exist in one classroom? What do students need to before a teacher
uses various assessment strategies?
Teacher: I my case as a T.L.E. teacher, I need
to assess the learners in their verbal and non- verbal performance. So I am
using a variety of activities inside the classroom and the important things the
students should know are what would be the use of these assessments in their
subject? How do the assessments help in their improvement?
Student: Sir, what are the benefits of using
authentic assessment and what are the challenges have you met with it?
Teacher: There are many benefits of authentic,
it resemble reading and writing in
the real world and in school; students are learning and practicing how to apply
important knowledge and skills for authentic purposes and for us teachers, it guarantees
that we are concentrating on worthwhile skills and strategies. The most
important challenge for me is how can I inculcate authentic assessment within
the individual differences of the learners?
Student: Okay sir, thank you very much for the information
and giving your time to me. God bless!

Analysis
1. What
is Authentic Assessment?
Authentic assessment focuses on students
application of knowledge and skills in real life setting, it involves direct
examination of students ability to use knowledge that is likened to what is
encountered in real life setting, it moves beyond learning by rote and memorization
of traditional methods and allows student to construct response, it also
captures aspect of students knowledge ,understanding, problem-solving skills,
social skills and attitudes that are used in real world or a simulation of a
real world situation. Authentic assessment s set a meaningful and engaging task
in rich context, where the learning applies knowledge and skills and performs
the task in a new situation. Authentic task helps students rehearse for the
complex ambiguities of adult and professional life.
2. How was authentic assessment used? Was it used to
measure learning through the product?
Yes. Authentic assessment is used to measure
learning trough the product it is used to provide realistic context that can
make problems more engaging for students, it is used to measure learning trough
the product because product oriented task requires the student to employ the behavioural
domains which is the cognitive, affective and the psycho-motor. These product
oriented assessments with regards to authentic assessment require the use of
complex procedural skills and techniques for generating products that will be
created by the students.
Reflection
What are your insights and feelings about the use of
authentic assessment?
Incorporating authentic
assessment in assessing students is an alternative way to assess the students
performances, for me it is the best way to assess the students learning
competencies and skills of students for they are exposed in real context
setting, therefore they as every individual can solve problems that are
encountered in real life . Engaging real life learning from the learners perspective
is engaging, self directed and meaningful to the students.
Describe how the teacher used the authentic
assessment?
Our resource
teacher used authentic assessment for evaluating the skills and competencies
of students he establishes activities that is aligned with the instructional
objectives such as performance based activities and let the students to
discover and learn, for example is the teacher let the students to design and
build their own example of vegetable garden in the schools simple backyard
and the yields are being sold to the market. The profit is being shared by
the other group mates. This strategy of the teacher will also develop the student’s
entrepreneurial abilities which will be their guide in real life application
to have an additional income and allowances.
How did you
feel about the teachers experience in the use of authentic assessment?
I appreciate the way our resource teacher use of authentic assessment
because he totally engage and commits his self in planning employing
authentic assessment for the benefits and progress of students skills and
competencies.
What could be the gains of the students and teachers in using
authentic assessment?
The gains of
the students in using authentic assessments is that they are exposed in real
life context that will provide learning experiences for them to be knowledge
producers, knowledge users, and socially responsible citizens .
In the part
of the teacher the results of authentic assessment will be their guide and
data in evaluating the student’s performance and abilities. Also to improve
their instructional plan and strategies so that the students can easily
achieve the targeted outcomes and competencies and for more holistic approaches
in evaluating students.
|
Which part of the
teacher’s use of authentic assessment do you feel like improving or revising?
For me there is nothing to revise
but to improve his use of authentic assessment for the benefit of the students
and for him to measure the learning extent of the students
