What are the best features of my product-oriented performance assessment design?


The best features of my product oriented performance assessment design are that it is clear, specific and concise for the students.



What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product-oriented performance assessment design?
The specific condition that are necessary for successful use of this product oriented performance design is it must be planned carefully before implementing this task so that the intended learning objective will be achieved.





What basic points should the user of this design consider?

the basic points the user of this design must consider is that this design requires the students to develop their skills and competencies in baking cookies, also the task is aligned with the learning competencies of the students


Analysis

1.       Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?

Yes, because this design is efficient and effective for the students. This design also assess the students behavioural domain the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.

2.       Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?


The teachers need to give attention to the students product oriented task to avoid misconceptions on the outcome that is based on the criteria and on what particular skills and competencies the students must employ. We need to assess them to provide the necessary feedback and coaching for the students, also to track the student’s growth and progress.


3.       In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?
The product oriented performance assessment is needed on every task which requires the student’s skills and competencies to enhance and improve their capabilities in real world setting.

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.

After accomplishing this field study, I’ve learned that as a future teacher someday, we should provide the necessary scaffolding for the students, and communicate with them the learning objectives for them to be guided and for them to achieve and develop their skill and capabilities.. We should plan carefully when we are assessing and evaluating them with the accompaniment of the scoring rubrics to avoid subjectivity and bias assessment. We must also consider the different strategies and assessment tools for the students to assess them appropriately and for them to cope-up in every lesson and topics, we must also bear in our minds that every child is unique in their own way so we as a future educator we must focus and commit ourselves on guiding them and on how we as a teacher can make difference on their lives.

       LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND STRATEGIES
EPISODE 4
WORK ON ME



Name  Of FS Student:  Josephine  M. Gaspar
Course: BSE- 3
Resource Teacher: Sir Marcelo G. Simon
Cooperating School: Isabela National  High School

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 classes. The rubrics are part and parcel of this assessment plan.

Grade/Year Level: Grade 7 (Amethyst)
Subject Area: TLE (AGRICULTURE)


What are the best features of my process-oriented performance assessment design?

The best features of my process oriented performance assessment design are that the task is aligned with my instructional objectives, the skills and competencies are clearly stated to the student for them to be guided.


What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my process-oriented performance assessment design?

 The specific conditions that are necessary is that the instruction  must be well explained or discussed to the students before engaging the students to this activity and also with the accompany of rubrics  that helps us on giving the standard , accurate , and fair assessment in evaluating the students performances.
  

What basic points should the user of this design consider?

  The basic points the user of this design is that this design is efficient and practical for the students with regards on their skills and performances on the on-going process of the activities.



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, provide the necessary scaffolding so that when the students will perform the task they will be guided, it is also important to communicate with them to avoid miscommunication on what specifically task you are requiring with them. We need to assess them with accompany of rubrics so that we are able to make decision and judgements for them based on their skills and performances.
2.  In what conditions can the process-oriented performance assessment be used appropriately?
Process oriented performance can be used appropriately by employing performance-based assessment which is directly observable trough demonstrating the process or steps as they occur ant the competencies involved when the performance is on-going which is then evaluated and judged by the teachers.

Reflection
Make reflections on your feelings and thoughts about the observations made in this FS.
Our resource teacher is very approachable he gives time for us when we need to ask some questions regarding to our field study even though he is busy, I admire most is whenever he gives the performance activity he does and demonstrate the activity, for the students to be guided on what specific task they are required to do, he also communicate to the students the learning task and criteria to be accomplish by them, to avoid misconception with the students
As a future educator, assessing the students with the performance based assessment, first, it is a must that you have to construct or design a your plan and objectives also the task and competencies that the students must achieved and also by communicating with them the rubrics and criteria in evaluating them so that they know what they are going to do.
