3. 3. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy Map To be aware of the assessment tools that are
used in the classrooms, I will findinterest in observing teachers’ assessment practices.To hit
my Target, I will work my way through these steps: Step 5. Reflect on your experience. Step
4.confer with your FS teacher your assessment list. Step 3. Describe how each assessment
method was used, including your personal observations. Step 2. In your list, classify
assessment methods as to conventional and authentic/alternative. Step 1. Observe at least
two classes and make a list of the assessment methods used by teachers.My Tools As I visit
schools and observe assessment practices in at least two classes, Idocumented my
observations using the activity form provided for me. For my pen-and-paper test items, I
customize a table of specification, and prepare the test material basedon the prescription of
the school where I do class observation. CLASS 1 OBSERVATION SHEET (To be used

Authentic/Alternative Types: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSESSMENT METHOD WAS
USED (Please include your personal observations and comment below the description) 1.
Oral Questioning The teacher asked question to the students during their discussion to
assess their understanding and reasoning skills about the topic. The teacher encouraged the
students to express their ideas and thoughts regarding the topic. 2. Exercise It was used for
self assessment. Every student was given a photocopy which consists of statements that
assess their inherited traits and physical attributes. [15]
6. 6. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy Analysis 1. Was there a variety of assessment
methods used by the teacher? How relevant as/were the assessment method/s used? Yes,
there was variety of assessment methods used by the teacher simply testing on isolated skill
or capabilities by giving them different activities. They engaged students in discourse and
social learning and they empowered students by choice to direct their own learning. They
give also quiz/test to examine their academic performance. Assessment tools was being
used by the teacher as to assess the student learning from the lesson that was being
discussed and the assessment tools were relevant for it was based from the objectives of the
lesson as well as with interest of the learner. 2. Do you think the expected students’ learning
behaviors indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through
those assessment methods? Yes, because exposing students to others with diverse
backgrounds and experiences also serve to help students focus on their awareness of
themselves. When they see how others are different, students are given reference points or
comparative perspectives which sharpen assessment of their own attitudes, values and
behaviors. The teacher always consider the objectives of the lesson as to what assessment
tool that she is going to use before, during and after discussion. [16]
7. 7. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy ReflectionWrite your personal reflection of thoughts
and feelings about the importance in theuse of appropriate assessment methods in the
classroom, including what studentsand teachers can gain from appropriate assessment
tools. Assessment is a vital tool used by the teacher in determining if the lessonpresented is
well transferred to the learner. Assessment is very important thing toconsider in education
because through assessment you can measure the understanding ofthe learner based on
the lesson presented. As a teacher, you must be fair in assessing your students’ capability
since everylearner possesses a different intelligence and learning styles. Various methods
should beimplemented so that each of your learners expresses what is in their mind. Some
studentsare good in written but then they cannot express their self orally vice versa. So as
ateacher, you must consider the weakness and strengths of your learner so that
everybodyhas the opportunity to reveal their potentials or express their thoughts. By: Sheryl
Mae D. Gamiao [17]
8. 8. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy ReflectionWrite your personal reflection of thoughts
and feelings about the importance in theuse of appropriate assessment methods in the
classroom, including what studentsand teachers can gain from appropriate assessment
tools. Assessment should be targeted towards different learning styles of students.
Forexample, some students may be great or good in theoretical or knowledge
basedquestions; whereas other may be better at showing that they understand
somethingthrough practical means like creating something. It is a must for every teacher to
use an appropriate and variety of assessment toolin his/her class. And must be correlated
and based on the aims and objectives. Theteacher has a wide variety of assessment tools to
measure learning outcomes. Teachershould give the equal opportunity for the students to
interact in the classroom in terms ofacademic performance. A teacher must give equal
chance for the students to express theirselves in the classroom. By: Jingky A. Pacis [18]
9. 9. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy ReflectionWrite your personal reflection of thoughts
and feelings about the importance in theuse of appropriate assessment methods in the
classroom, including what studentsand teachers can gain from appropriate assessment
tools. As individuals develop, there are different opportunities and constraints forlearning.
Learning is most effective when differential development within acrossphysical, intellectual,
emotional, and social domains is taken into account. Students learn best when material is
appropriate to their developmental level andis presented in an enjoyable and interesting way.
Because individual development varies,achievement in different instructional domains may
also vary. Teachers/Educators need to be concerned with facilitating motivation bystrategies
that enhance learner effort and commitment to learning; and to achieving highstandards of
comprehension and understanding. Effective strategies include purposeful learning activities,
guided by practices thatenhance positive emotions and intrinsic motivation to learn, and
methods that increasepositive learners’ perception that a task is interesting and personally
relevant. Becauselearners have different strategies, approaches, and capabilities for learning
that arefunction of prior experience. Teachers need to be sensitive to individual differences,

10. 10. Learning Assessment StrategiesMy PortfolioComplete the Table on Assessment
MethodsWrite the most appropriate use of each assessment method. To complete the
tabledo not hesitate to do further research. Assessment Method Appropriate Use (When to
use it) 1. Written response instruments Appropriate for assessing the various levels of
hierarchy of educational objectives. a. Multiple Choice Appropriate for efficient and reliable
result; allow a wide sampling content. Candidates select the appropriate answer from several
possible responses. b. True-False Many items can be administered during a limited time
period; and easy to administer and score. c. Matching Scoring is objective, measure
knowledge keyed to specific learning outcomes and competencies. Candidates select a
second statement that best complements with each presented statement. d. Short Answer
Tend to emphasize factual knowledge, rather than higher thinking skills performance or
attitudes. Candidate provides short answers to question or complete sentences. Requires
recollection of correct answer. e. Completion Test Use to test the students’ grasp of the
higher level cognitive skills. f. Theory Relate to real world situation. May test several
competencies at once. Candidates organize and write responses to problems usually
presented in a real-life context. 2. Product Rating Scale (for book, Use to rate products like
books, reports, reports, projects, and other creative maps, charts, diagram, notebook and
etc. endeavors) need to develop. [20]
11. 11. Learning Assessment Strategies 3. Performance Tasks (using a Use to determine
whether or not an microscope, solving Math word individual because in a certain way when
problem) asked to complete a particular task. a. Performance Checklist Provides “controlled”
sample of real- life and work activity. Allows for testing of complex integrated skills. 4. Oral
Questioning Use to assess the students’ stock knowledge and determine the students’ ability
to communicate ideas in coherent verbal sentences. 5. Observation and Self Reports Useful
supplementary methods when used in conjunction with oral questioning and performance
test. [21]
EPISODE 5: BUILD ME UP
My Target
At the end of this activity, you will be skillful in designing product-oriented performance assessment.
Your Task
Design a product-oriented performance assessment by going through the process through the following
steps:
1. Visit a class and identify product-oriented activities.
2. Choose one product-oriented activity and study the process.
3. Design a performance assessment plan for the product-oriented activity you have chosen.
4. Develop a portfolio of your assessment plan.
5. Reflect on your experience.
OBSERVATION NOTES
- The activity went well for it kept the students focus and assess their ability in creating their own real-world
problem with their collective efforts.
B. Making a Portfolio
- The teacher announced their requirement which is to make a portfolio in their subject Trigonometry.
- She then explained the purpose of the tasks.
- After presenting the objectives, she then told the students what they are about to do.
- After giving the specific tasks, she then informed the students about the criteria on judging their portfolios.
- She then gave them chances to ask questions and time for them to start preparing their requirement.
MY PLAN
Learning Objectives:
- The students will be able to provide reflections on their performances in Trigonometry for the assessment
of their progress for the whole school year.
- They will be able to develop process skills such as self-evaluation and goal-setting.
The task lets the students compile their activity sheets, quizzes and test papers in Trigonometry and reflect
on their performances for the whole school year.

The best features of my product-oriented performance assessment design are: (a) it shows the students’
progress over time; (b) it identifies their strengths and weaknesses and; (3) it will help them provide
reflections on their performances in Mathematics for the whole school year.
What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product-oriented performance
assessment design?
For my product-oriented assessment design to be successfully used – learning targets must be clearly
stated, specific and it must center on what is truly important. Then the task directions must be clearly
discussed for students to be able to know what should be done and criteria must be specified to be used in
rating their performance tasks to get a fair, valid and reliable measurement of the students’ growth and
development over the whole school year.
The user of this design must consider: (a) what to test; (b) if the assessment is relevant in the learning
process; (c) the students’ readiness for the assessment; (d) the students’ awareness of the materials to be
utilized, and; (e) what criteria are to be used for judging the students’ performance.
ANALYSIS
1. Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately
assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?
Yes, this product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning
objective because the design was based on the teacher’s goal which is to develop their process skills such
as self-evaluation and goal setting.
2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need
to assess them?
Teachers need to assess the students’ product-oriented tasks to know if the students are meeting the
learning objectives and if they can assess their own learning skills in the teaching-learning process.
3. In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?
Product-oriented performance assessment can be used more appropriately when the teacher’s assessment
aims for authenticity and it requires the use of complex procedural skills and techniques for making the
product wherein the assessment is more concern to the outcome or the performance of the learner.
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 base it on the learners and the learning objectives for it
to be successfully done.
Students learn in different ways and vary in their abilities to perform certain tasks. Understanding that
each student has unique strengths and weaknesses related to the ways in which they approach learning is
an important component of effective education. A teacher is able to choose the most appropriate and
effective learning assessments and strategies to be able to recognize students varying background
knowledge, readiness, preferences in learning, interest, strengths and weaknesses, and to assist them in
the learning process.
Assessors use authentic assessments in evaluating students’ abilities upon applying what they have
learned that is likened to what is encountered in real-life setting. Open-response questions are conducted
during discussions, activities that demonstrate what they have learned like solving and group works are
administered, portfolios and other tasks that promote self-assessment. Assessors assess the students
through the use of rubrics.
