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.

Describe in bullets the performance-based activity you observe.           Determining the Basic Work Place Calculation of an Area such as the surface working area of the gymnasium, Adelan building, vegetable garden etc.             Demonstrate  how to use farm tools such as the proper use of shovel for the boys and rake for the girls            Differentiating the functions of farm tools, equipments and farm implements.            Identifying farm inputs and farm labour requirements by class participation.

Based on your observation, make a checklist of the important things you wish to consider in your performance-based assessment plan.

NOTES ON MY PROCESS-ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN

Name of the School Observed: Isabela National High School School Address: Claravall St. Sn. Vicente , Ilagan City, Isabela 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.
