My Map
To be aware of the assessment tools that are used in the classrooms, I will find
interest 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, I
documented 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 based
on the prescription of the school where I do class observation.

METHOD WAS USED
(Please include your personal observations and comment
below the description)
Pen-and-Paper Test It is the most familiar assessment tool. The
teacher gave a 10 item identification test to assess
how well the students understand the lesson.
I observed that the students understand the
lesson presented by the teacher because everyone got
high scores.

Grade/Year Level: I-2 & II-2 Subject Area: Science & Bilogy
Authentic/Alternative Types: DESCRIPTION OF HOW THE ASSESSMENT
METHOD WAS USED
(Please include your personal observations and comment

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. Learning Assessment Strategies
My 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.

7. Learning Assessment Strategies
My Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the importance in the
use of appropriate assessment methods in the classroom, including what students
and teachers can gain from appropriate assessment tools.
Assessment is a vital tool used by the teacher in determining if the lesson
presented is well transferred to the learner. Assessment is very important thing to
consider in education because through assessment you can measure the understanding of
the learner based on the lesson presented.
As a teacher, you must be fair in assessing your students’ capability since every
learner possesses a different intelligence and learning styles. Various methods should be
implemented so that each of your learners expresses what is in their mind. Some students
are good in written but then they cannot express their self orally vice versa. So as a
teacher, you must consider the weakness and strengths of your learner so that everybody
has the opportunity to reveal their potentials or express their thoughts.

8. Learning Assessment Strategies
My Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the importance in the
use of appropriate assessment methods in the classroom, including what students
and teachers can gain from appropriate assessment tools.
Assessment should be targeted towards different learning styles of students. For
example, some students may be great or good in theoretical or knowledge based
questions; whereas other may be better at showing that they understand something
through practical means like creating something.
It is a must for every teacher to use an appropriate and variety of assessment tool
in his/her class. And must be correlated and based on the aims and objectives. The
teacher has a wide variety of assessment tools to measure learning outcomes. Teacher
should give the equal opportunity for the students to interact in the classroom in terms of
academic performance. A teacher must give equal chance for the students to express their
selves in the classroom.

My Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the importance in the
use of appropriate assessment methods in the classroom, including what students
and teachers can gain from appropriate assessment tools.
As individuals develop, there are different opportunities and constraints for
learning. Learning is most effective when differential development within across
physical, intellectual, emotional, and social domains is taken into account.
Students learn best when material is appropriate to their developmental level and
is 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 by
strategies that enhance learner effort and commitment to learning; and to achieving high
standards of comprehension and understanding.
Effective strategies include purposeful learning activities, guided by practices that
enhance positive emotions and intrinsic motivation to learn, and methods that increase
positive learners’ perception that a task is interesting and personally relevant. Because
learners have different strategies, approaches, and capabilities for learning that are
function of prior experience. Teachers need to be sensitive to individual differences, in
general.

10. Learning Assessment Strategies
My Portfolio
Complete the Table on Assessment Methods
Write the most appropriate use of each assessment method. To complete the table
do 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.

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.
