My Analysis
 Guide Questions:
 Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant
was/were the assessment method/s used?
 Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviors indicated in the objectives
were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?

There were a variety of assessment methods used by the

teachers I observed. They combine the traditional and the
authentic assessment tools in a single subject matter in order to
develop the pupils holistically. They used different assessment
tools which is relevant to the subject matter and the level of
learnings of the pupils.

The expected students’ learning behaviors indicated in the

objectives of each subject was attained because of the process of
delivering the instruction and the assessment methods used were
properly and appropriately assessed. The teaching-learning
process was effective and efficient because the assessment tools
are enjoyable.

My Reflections

Guide Questions:
  What are my thoughts and feelings about the importance in the use of
appropriate assessment methods in the classroom?
 What students and teachers can gain from the appropriate assessment tools?

Using the appropriate assessment methods in the

classroom makes the teaching-learning process effective and
efficient. Because students will easily identify well the subject
matter and they will participate or cooperate to the classroom
activities, and teachers can gain knowledge in how he/she going
to deliver his/her next lesson and he/she will understand well the
nature of his/her learner, what student knows, what he/she can
do, and how he/she going to do the certain task.

           So as a future teacher I must be familiar to the different

assessment tools because I believe when these assessment
methods will be utilized effectively,

the students’
us to act more appropriately and effectively promote learning.
My Objective
At the end of this activity, I will be adept in designing, using, and interpreting results of
objective tests.

What to Do
I should be able to do the following:
 Observe a class on a subject area of my choice.
  Study the teacher’s objectives of the lesson. Observe his/her class, focusing on the
evaluation part of the lesson.
 Make a Table of Specification and construct pen-and-paper test items on the subject
observed.
 Conduct pen and paper test in a class.
 Analyze and interpret the data obtained from it focusing on target competency.
 Reflect on my experience.

My Activities
Observe a class, study the teacher’s objectives, formulate test item, and interpret results,
make a clear documentation of tasks using the activity forms provided.
For your pen-and-paper test items, customized a table of specification, and prepare the test
material based on the prescriptions of the school where you do the class observation.

DESIGNING PEN-AND-PAPER TEST

To prepare my pen-and-paper test which will soon administer in the class I have observed,
I will remember the following instructions:

1. Make a two-way Table of Specification. I will MAKE SURE THAT I focus on the current
subject matter of the class I observed, and target the higher levels of learning behaviors.
Adopt the TOS format prescribed by the school where I was assigned. If the school has
TOS templates, I will ask permission to use it.
2. Show my TOS to my Resource Teacher, I will get his/her comments and suggestions and
improve my TOS.
 3. With approved TOS, I will formulate their test. Write each test item in an index card,
indicating the subject matter and the desired level of learning behavior to be assessed,
among others. (Please use pencil in writing your test items to economize the use of index
cards.)

(27% ×16) who got the lowest scores. The item numbers 4, 6, and 10, the level of difficulty is
easy while the item number 5, the difficulty level is average. But the item numbers 4, 6, and 10
are needed to be revised.

My Reflection
The term assessment is generally used to refer to all activities teachers use to help students
learn and to gauge student progress.[2] Though the notion of assessment is generally more
complicated than the following categories suggest, assessment is often divided for the sake of
convenience using the following distinctions:

1. initial, formative, and summative

2. objective and subjective
 3. referencing (criterion-referenced, norm-referenced, and ipsative)
4. informal and formal.

As a future teacher I must design a test which is appropriate, valid, reliable and fair.
Fairness

the learning objectives so that it will bring a good learning outcomes. The validity of
assessment tool talks about the purpose of the test. To improve the learning outcome is always
the purpose of the assessments. The content of the test determines whether the number of
items is adequate regarding the result of the test to give basis for the decision-making. The
adequacy of the items to be included in the test can be reviewed based on the learning targets
that are intended to be included in the test. There must be a table of specification so that we are
guided in making the number of items adequate. A reliable test would show similar
performance at different times and different conditions. Just like for example: the same set of
the test questions are given to two different sections at different time and if the result of the
test are almost the same then that’s the time that we can say test is consistent or reliable.

Today, as a student I must enhance my knowledge in designing a test and interpreting

results of objective test so as to achieve a high quality assessment.
Task 3
Log Me

My Objective
At the end of this activity, I will be informed on the principles of authentic assessment and
usefulness in the classroom.

What to Do
I should be able to do the following:
 Read articles on new trends of classroom assessment.
  Observe a class and interview teacher on his/her experiences in using authentic
assessment.
 Write a reflective journal on the activity.

My Activities
For this task, I documented my engagement in the task using the Activity Sheets provided.

Selected Articles Read on the New Trends of Classroom Assessment.

New Trends in Classroom Authentic Assessment
by Katherine Bradley, Demand Media
Authentic assessment refers to the practice of assessing student mastery via the completion
of real world tasks in which the student applies knowledge and skill acquired in the instructional
process. Authentic assessments may include writing assignments, completing individual or
cooperative projects, portfolios, teacher observations, performance or demonstration assessments,
or any other assigned task that will provide evidence of competency. It is a good idea to provide a
selection of assessment types that will match a variety of learning styles.
Demonstration or Performance Assessments

Authentic assessment may take the form of demonstration or performance. This means
that a student has the opportunity to demonstrate, through practical means, that a standard has
been mastered. For instance, a student might provide evidence of mastery of a theater standard
focused on blocking, upstage, downstage, center stage, monologue and projection, through design
and performance, rather than via a paper and pencil vocabulary test. Such assessments can be
used in other classes and tailored to different subject matter.

Portfolio Assessments

Portfolio assessments are often used when units are large or cover a number of standards.
Assessment pieces contained in the portfolio provide evidence of mastery of individual standards
or may provide evidence of increasing depth of comprehension of materials. For instance, a
science portfolio may contain written vocabulary words associated with mollusks, drawings that
outline structure and function and a three-dimensional model created by the student. This type of
portfolio's value is that it allows students to demonstrate mastery by a variety of means --
collecting written information, drawing and through creative manipulation.

Oral Assessments

Oral assessments are popular with students who do not possess high level writing skills.
Oral assessments can take the form of storytelling or focus on documentation of question-and-
answer periods in class. A teacher may use a student's oral responses to determine whether the
content has been mastered. Student mastery can be assessed as part of a group exercise or
individually, in a private testing session. This type of assessment can be used informally with or
without student knowledge, thus eliminating testing anxiety.

Project Assessments

Project assessments provide the opportunity to demonstrate competency through completion of a

project. Project assessments can be performed individually or collaboratively. Students may work
together to complete a project in math that indicates proficiency in probability concepts. For
example, student may use a set of dice and record the results of rolls to learn about probability. A
deck of cards might also be used to learn about probability.

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
Guide Questions:

 What were your personal strategies in choosing relevant articles to

read?
 What are your insights and feelings about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
  What is your most meaningful learning from this activity?

 My personal strategies in choosing relevant articles to read are:

1. I browse different articles that are based on the topic and then I will choose the

very popular and based from the different articles I summarized them in order to

get the main theme or idea.

2. I read newspapers, magazines especially “The Modern Teacher” and then I will

choose the most relevant to the topic given to me.

 With this new trend authentic assessment I found out that these assessments will really

help the pupils as well as the teacher to have a good performance in everyday

activities. Pupils will participate actively because they can express their ideas, thoughts

and feelings about the subject. As a future teacher also, I must be familiarize to these

authentic assessment because I knew that these will be helpful to me in teaching the

pupils today or the 21st century children.

 My most meaningful learning from this activity is that I learned that there were so

many authentic assessment tools that will match to the variety of individual learning

styles. I also learned that if I will keep browsing I will see the big picture of teaching.
Points to REMEMBER

Before interviewing a teacher on his/her experiences in using authentic assessment, please go

over your Review Notes. Based on these, please draft possible question you will ask the teacher. When
the questions are finalized write them down on the sheet below. Spare some space between questions
where you will write down the teacher’s response to each question.

MY INTERVIEW NOTES

1. What do you think is the usefulness of authentic assessment?

 Authentic assessment are direct measures. I wanted the students to use the

acquired knowledge, skills and values in the real world so my assessment have also to

tell if student can apply knowledge. If the students done well on a test we might infer

that the student could also apply knowledge but that is rather indirect evidence. I could

directly check for the ability to apply by asking the student to use what they have

learned on something in a meaningful way.

2. What advantages you’ve gained in using authentic assessment?

The advantage I have gained using the authentic assessment are pupils become

attentive and participate in the class. My students gain more knowledge that long last.

It is also developed the multiple intelligence of my pupils and it determines the

preferred learning styles of my pupils.

REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
Guide Questions:

 How did you feel about the teacher’s experience in the use of
authentic assessment?
 What do you think have been the gains enjoyed by the teacher and
his/her students from using authentic assessment?
 Which part of the teacher’s use of authentic assessment do you fell
like improving or revising?
  I am so glad that I were able to observe teachers that uses authentic assessment. I
learned that the teacher’s role was to assist or facilitate the students during the activity.
The teachers gives feedback to the students with regards to the activity that they are
performing. In a process based assessment specifically the problem solving in different
subjects, I learned that I must consider the utmost effort of students in solving the
problem especially in Mathematics though the final answer is not correct because it is
the process of the solution that we are ought to assess.
 Based on the teachers that I observed who are using an authentic assessment I think
that they gained knowledge on what are the pupils’ strengths and weaknesses. They
also gained an easy delivery of instruction. While the pupils, I think they gained
enjoyment with knowledge. They also gained on how to interact with their group mates
that will developed their confidence to belong with others.
 There is no criteria presented during the activity which should not be because students
may deviate the expectations of the teacher with regards to the activity. But I fell there
is no such part of the teachers’ use of authentic assessment that is needed to improve or
revise because I know that they are veterans to their profession.

NOTES ON MY PROCESS-ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN

Name of School: San Miguel Elementary School
School Address: San Miguel, Panganiban, Catanduanes
Grade/Year Level: VI Section: B
Subject Area: Science Subject Matter: Force
What are the best features of my process-oriented performance assessment design?

The best features of my process-oriented performance are that efficiency of student

behavior on how they come up the output effectively. Finding a task that would be interesting

and enjoyable for the student where they activity involved and also jives to my learning

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

A successful use of process-oriented performance assessment can be achieved in a way

that, it correlates with the learning objectives. It is necessary to be linked with the learning

objective; this will help in guiding a particular task. When making a particular activity (e.g.

Dancing), a teacher should prepare a criteria/ rubric as basis for evaluating students’

performance. Thus, it serves as a guide on what students need to develop a performance.

What basic points should the user of this design consider?

The user of this design should consider that the learning objective is relevant in the

process-oriented performance. The user should keep in mind the process-oriented

performance is suited and appropriate in all kinds of subject matter.

My Analysis
Guide Questions:

 Do you think your originally designed process-oriented performance

assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objectives?
Why? Why not?
 Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented tasks?
Why do they need to assess them?
 In what conditions can the process-oriented performance assessment be
used more appropriately?

 I think my originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can

appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objectives because there were bases or
observations during the task.

 Teachers need to give a full attention to the students’ process-oriented tasks because
students exert their utmost effort just to give a correct solution. That effort of the
students must be given points because it is a way of motivating students to exert more
 effort and to increase their level of interest. The students will recall their previous
knowledge and apply it on the task and since there is application, there is also
understanding and retention. It is important that teachers need to assess them because
the process or steps is highly prioritized in a process-oriented performance assessment.
It also gives a sort of justice to the efforts of students. Some students may come up

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

The best features in my product-oriented performance design are the following:

 The instructions are clear and easy to understand

 There is enough time given for the students to finish the task

 It caters the needs and nature of the students

 There is a criteria on how to check the product or output and serves as basis for giving
grades.

 It arose the students’ interest.

 The product-oriented task is consistent to the learning target

  The materials are provided and complete.

What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product-oriented

performance assessment design?

The product-oriented performance assessment design requires the students to show a work
that will demonstrate their level of understanding about a concept. My product-oriented
performance design is time bounded and attainable. It is effective to use if I have a rubric that
will clearly show how student’s performance will be evaluated and it increases students’ sense
of responsibility for their group work.

What basic points should the user of this design consider?

The user of this product-oriented performance assessment design should consider the
learning targets if it is consistent or relevant because the learning target and assessment tool to
be used are dependent to each other.

The user should also consider the subject matter if it is appropriate or suited because not
all subject matter are applicable for a product-oriented performance assessment.

The user should also consider the use of rubric because it provides benchmark as basis in
measuring progress and students become aware on how to improve their performance.

My Analysis
Guide Questions:
 Do you think your originally designed product-oriented performance
assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objectives?
Why? Why not?
 Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks?
Why do they need to assess them?
 In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be
used more appropriately?

 It is appropriate to the learning objectives of the teacher because the design on the plan
of this product oriented activity was based on the goals of the teacher for his/her pupils.

 Teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented task because they
generally represent deep understanding of the concepts, principles and theories, and
they also provide evidence for the knowledge and skills that are learned in the
 instructional process. Those works, projects, outputs and even performances of the
students are considered as product-oriented performance that help students record for
their learning by seeing the outcomes and product of their academic engagement and it
motivates students to keep in the learning process. Teachers need to assess them
because it shows the students’ works that demonstrate their level of understanding
about a concept and it is how students apply the knowledge that they had learned in a
particular lesson by showing an output, project, work or even performance. Through
the use of rubric the teacher becomes more objective in assessing the product of the
students and it brings justice and fairness on the part of the students.

 The product-oriented performance assessment can be used more appropriately when

the teacher wants to measure how students apply the knowledge that they had learned
in a certain lesson because it is an assessment that requires the students to show a work
or product that will demonstrate their level of understanding about a concept. This
product-oriented performance assessment is more applicable in doing research paper,
film making, portfolio, journals, slogan, posters, drawing, verse choir, assembled series
and parallel circuit, oral recitation, role playing, demonstration, drama recital and etc.

My Reflections
 Write your thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insight or new
understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment.

Based on my experience in using authentic assessment, I learned

that authentic assessment is used to assess what students know and what
they can do. It is used to demonstrate higher order thinking skills (HOTS)
because the task is given at the right level of difficulty and related to real
life situation. It is also capable of generating learning outcomes that are
observable and useful to those who use the information especially the
teacher gathered from the assessment method.

            One of the principle of authentic assessment states that “it enhance
learning rather than simply serving the purpose of accountability.” It
