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.
