My Analysis

1.Which assessment method/s did I observe to be most often used? Least often
used? Whatcould explain such observation?
Base on our observation regarding on how the teacher assess her students, she
usedmostly on performance tests. Learners did a lot of activities base on their
lesson on meter reading. At first, the teacher just asked a few questions merely
definition and then suddenlyafter a little discussion they engage themselves in
doing group activities. On the other hand,the least assess method used by the
teacher is on the part of written response instrument,she just only manifest giving a
simple test to her pupils just before the end of doing allactivities.But by through
examining the assessment method used, cooperative learning isreally an emblem
for a better understanding to the learners because they learn a lot if theyengage
themselves more on doing rather than in writing.2.

2. If I were to re-teach the same lesson would I assess learning in the same way as
myResource Teachers did? Explain?

4. How does traditional assessment differ from authentic assessment?

In the Traditional assessment the curriculum drives assessment. "The" body of
knowledge is determined first. That knowledge becomes the curriculum that is
delivered. Subsequently, the assessments are developed and administered to
determine if acquisition of the curriculum occurred.On the other hand in Authentic
assessment is an assessment that drives the curriculum.That is, teachers first
determine the tasks that students will perform to demonstrate their mastery, and
then a curriculum is developed that will enable students to perform those tasks well,
which would include the acquisition of essential knowledge and skills. This has been
referred to as planning backwards.

My Reflection
I.

Is there such a thing as best method or an assessment method that is

appropriate for all types of learning?

Base on our point of view, we think that theres no such thing as best method of
assessment on the ground that all types of assessment method has its ownfunctions
and own characteristics. In one thing to another they are different, theres specific
or appropriate when to use the assessment method.
For example if theres only a limited time left then youll make use of true
-false type, not the multiple choice or even completion test because as we all know
it needs a lot of time to answer on that particular case. Second, in every method
theres intended purpose which means you only input that kind of method if it is
really suitable for your subject matter. Third, as a future teacher you may
usealternative assessment methods but it must complement always to your goals

andobjectives.Thus, for preparing an assessment method it must complement to

thelearning objectives, but make sure that the assessment method to be used
isappropriate to its functions so that you will able to evaluate immediately the
scoresof the learners.

Assessment Method Appropriate use (When to use it)1.

Written response instruments

Generally appropriate in assessing a varietyof levels of hierarchy of didactic
objectives

their understanding about a certain topic.From here, they choose several
possibleresponses and they select the appropriateanswer.
b.

True-False
When theres a limited time period left in the
particular subject. It is easy to administer andeasy to determine the score of the
learners.
c.

Matching
Selecting second statement that bestcomplements by each presented
statement;this is to correlate a specific thing related tothe other wherein this
measure knowledgekeyed to specific learning outcomes andcompetencies.
d.

Short answer

Appropriate to use when emphasizing moreon factual knowledge or only

rememberingrather than higher order thinking skills performance or attitudes.
e.

Completion test
This is suitable for determining the cognitiveskills of the learners, and this is a one
way to

Write the most appropriate use of each assessment method. To complete the Table
do nothesitate to do further research.enrich and nurture their minds on facts.
f.

Essay
For relating real life situation this is the mostappropriate assessment method.
2.

Product Rating Scales (for book reports,projects, other creative endeavors)

It is appropriately used when rating projects,notebooks, written assignments etc. to

be able todetermine if the learners really understood thelesson or not.
3.

Performance tests (Using microscope,solving Math word Problem)

Used to determine how imaginative they are inrelating problems to real life
situation. More onapplication or more on doing rather than simplywriting.
a.

Performance Checklist
Allows for testing of complex integrated skills,to check whether they comprehend or
not.
4.

Oral Questioning
Appropriate to use during discussion morespecifically because this is to determine
the
learners ability to communicate ideas in a
