It is a form of traditional
assessment that measures students
ability in selecting and analyzing
questions. It uses material that includes
paper and pencil where there is a
corresponding choice with only one
corrects answer. It is an effective tool
1. 2. Paper because it will help students how to
and Pencil analyze carefully the question by giving
Test them corresponding choices and they
(Completion type) will select the best answer. With these
assessments, students will measure
Ether Ofilan their mental abilities or how they
understand and retain their previous
lesson.
Group Anlysis
Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the
assessment method/s used?
There is a variety of assessment method used by the teacher because of the different kinds of
assessment method so there are differences among the assessment methods with regards to their
application to the students.
The assessment method use like interview and a paper and pencil test were relevant to
the subject matter through their application. Every assessment method has its unique and specific
purpose and focus upon the learning skills of students. They are also relevant to the learning objectives
through ways of measuring or evaluating the students understanding. Through assessment method the
learning objectives will be determined if it is accomplish or not in order for the teacher to have a basis or
standards to the revision of the instruction. The point is the assessment method must be appropriate to
the subject matter and to the learning objectives in order to have effectiveness in assessing the students.
Do you think the expected students learning behaviors indicated in the objectives were properly
and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?
The appropriateness of assessment method means that the purpose of assessment must match with the
learning objectives being measured, it simply means that they are anchored to each other. Without this
assessment method the learning behaviors that are indicated in the objectives will not be tested whether it
is accomplished or not. In our point of view the expected students learning behaviors indicated in the
objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods.
Group Reflection
Write your group 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.
The appropriateness of assessment method is highly needed inside the classroom so as to find out what
students know, what they can do, how students go about the task of doing their work and how they feel
about their work. Both teachers and students can benefit upon their appropriateness of assessment
method by assessing themselves that will provide information to be used as feedback to modify the
teaching and learning activities in which they are engaged.
We believe when these assessment methods will be utilized effectively, future teachers like
us will have a basis or standards for the students ability that will enable us to act more appropriately and
effectively promote learning.

Other Notes:
Teachers should formulate learning objectives in order to have a
basis to be followed when discussing a lesson. Learning objectives
are important when it comes in designing an instruction and
direction for the assessment to be tested. Learning objectives are
the basis if the students meet the required criteria in order to gain
higher grade.
Other Notes:
Other Notes:
The learning objectives must involve knowledge, reasoning,
skills, products and affects that are needed to be stated in
behavioral terms which denote something that can be observed
through the behavior of the students. As much as possible the
learning objectives must be specific, measurable, attainable, and
relevant and time bounded in order to achieve a high quality
assessment that is precise, accurate and dependable.
Group Analysis
Do you think the teachers learning objective was appropriately assessed by your test
items? Why? / Why not?
The teachers learning objectives were appropriately assessed by our test items because there was a
congruency between the learning objectives and assessment tool that we used. We follow the guidelines
and tips in constructing test items in order to have a good result and this good result indicates that the
learning objectives were achieved. In constructing test items we follow the principles of high quality
assessment in order for our test items to have a validity, reliability, fairness, practicality and efficiency.
Why did you have to study the teachers learning objectives prior to developing an assessment
tool?
Studying the teachers learning objective prior to develop an assessment tool is a must in order to have
relevance. The assessment tool to be used must always be consistent to the learning objectives because
they are always related to each other in terms of improving the learning outcomes. The objectives in the
assessment must be stated in behavioral terms which can be observed on the behavior students in order
for the objectives to be measurable. Through the use of assessment tool we can determine if the learning
objectives are achieved or not and we can have a basis or standards for the revision of the instruction if
the learning objectives are not achieved.
Group Refelction
Assessment is a way to evaluate the understanding and learning of students. The
assessment to be used must be fair, appropriate, valid and reliable in order to have a high quality
assessment.
The coverage of the test must be already taught so as to have fairness in assessment. It makes student
capable of passing the test because everything on the test are already learned and the checking of the
test must have a criteria especially if it is an authentic test to give the students ideas on how to improve
the learning on the next time around and there is reflection and metacognition because of the criteria.
The appropriateness of assessment tool with regards to the learning objectives will bring
relevance and 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 thats the time that we can say test is consistent or reliable.
We fully understand that we must be skillful in designing a test and interpreting results of objective
test so as to achieve a high quality assessment

Target
At the end of this activity, we well informed on the principles of authentic assessment and its
usefulness in the classrooms.
Tools
The main purposes of classroom assessments are to assess the degree to which students have grasped
material and to provide feedback to teachers to guide further instruction. Classroom assessments involve
several moral and ethical dilemmas concerning assessment validity, classroom equity and the degree to
which high-stakes assessments should impact a students education opportunities and progress. As more
and more states develop mandated standardized assessments, teachers are under more pressure to
evaluate the ethical dilemmas in classroom assessments.
1. History
Though moral and ethical dilemmas in classroom assessments have been present
since the foundations of public schools, public concern of ethical conflicts in assessment
wasnt widespread until the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s. Discussions of education
equity largely focused on equal access to educational resources, but concerns about
cultural biases within assessment were also including in the dialogue of desegregated
education. In 1974, the Buckley Amendment was passed, which prohibited the disclosure
of a students academic records to outside institutions; some scholars felt that limiting
access to assessments of student achievement decreased the validity of assessments
and reduced academic competitiveness. The more recent passage of the No Child Left
Behind Act of 2001 reignited the debate between the value of summative and formative
assessments as well as called into question the ethical conflicts associated with high-
stakes standardized testing.
Significance
Assessments are a valuable tool in education and learning. Assessments serve two
significant functions. The primary significance of classroom assessments is to assess a
students level of achievement in regard to a particular subject or topic. The second
function of classroom assessments is to provide instructors with feedback about the
effectiveness of their teaching. Because the significance of assessments is so high,
ethical dilemmas concerning assessment can have a serious impact on the quality of
education a student receives. If an assessment is deemed invalid or unreliable, then it
cannot be used to determine student success or develop further instruction. Discussing
the ethical conflicts of classroom assessments ensures that assessments continue to
serve as a valid means of providing performance feedback to students and teachers alike.
There are several types of ethical dilemmas associated with classroom assessments.
The most frequent dilemma concerns the role and value of high-stakes tests and
assessments. The No Child Left Behind Act mandates that standardized high-stakes
exams be given to students at regular intervals; the tests are used to evaluate the overall
performance of a school system. Opponents believe that using a single measuring
instrument to evaluate schools is unethical, especially because the results of such tests
are used to determine future funding to school districts. Teachers must balance preparing
students for the exam while including additional forms of formative assessments in
classrooms.
Another concern of classroom assessments is the need to provide quantitative data for statistical
purposes despite the fact that many assessments are qualitative in nature. Modern education research
largely endorses qualitative or holistic assessments that provide clear, written feedback to students about
performance; school districts and local governments, however, require schools to report quantified data
that does not always paint a clear picture of student achievement.
Effects
Ethical conflicts about assessments can have a serious impact on the quality of
education in a school district. Unanswered ethical conflicts about cultural biases or
language inequities result in lower grades for non-native English speakers or immigrants.
Teachers report feeling pressure to teach to a high-stakes test rather than teaching topics
that may be relevant to specific student groups; the result is a manufactured education
experience for students and a limited scope of potential teaching material for teachers.
Discussion about ethical dilemmas has, however, lead to more scrutiny of test materials
in the search for an equitable assessment that holds districts accountable while allowing
all students equal access to opportunities for demonstrating knowledge.
What are your insights and feelings about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
With this new trend I found out some problem with regards to
assessment in the classroom and its application. As a student I feel
overwhelmed and also happy for the reason that it can greatly help
us with our assessment and it provide us more information on how
assessment could be apply simply and accordingly in the
classroom.
Defined by the U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) (1992), as testing methods that
require students to create an answer or product that demonstrates their knowledge and skills,
performance assessment can take many forms including:
*Conducting experiments.
Performance assessment is best understood as a continuum of assessment formats ranging from the
simplest student-constructed responses to comprehensive demonstrations or collections of work over
time. Whatever format, common features of performance assessment involve:
2. Direct observation of student behavior on tasks resembling those commonly required for functioning in
the world outside school.
3. Illumination of students learning and thinking processes along with their answers (OTA, 1992).
Performance assessments measure what is taught in the curriculum. There are two terms that are core to
depicting performance assessment:
1. Performance: A students active generation of a response that is observable either directly or indirectly
via a permanent product.
2. Authentic: The nature of the task and context in which the assessment occurs is relevant and
represents real world problems or issues.
The validity of an assessment depends on the degree to which the interpretations and uses of
assessment results are supported by empirical evidence and logical analysis.
According to Baker and her associates (1993), there are five internal characteristics that valid
performance assessments should exhibit:
1. Have meaning for students and teachers and motivate high performance.
When considering the validity of a performance test, it is important to first consider how the test or
instrument behaves given the content covered. Questions should be asked such as:
It is also important to review the intended effects of using the assessment instrument. Questions about
the use of a test typically focus on the tests ability to reliably differentiate individuals into groups and
guide the methods teachers use to teach the subject matter covered by the test. A word of caution:
Unintended uses of assessments can have precarious effects. To prevent the misuse of assessments, the
following questions should be considered:
*Does use of the instrument result in discriminatory practices against various groups of individuals?
*Is it used to evaluate others (e.g., parents or teachers) who are not directly assessed the test?
1. Assessment as a Curriculum Event. Externally mandated assessments that bear little, if any,
resemblance to subject area domain and pedagogy cannot provide a valid or reliable indication of what a
student knows and is able to do. The assessment should reflect what is taught and how it is taught.
Making an assessment a curriculum event means reconceptualizing it as a series of theoretically and
practically coherent learning activities that are structured in such a way that they lead to a single
predetermined end. When planning for assessment as a curriculum event, the following factors should be
considered:
2. Task Content Alignment with Curriculum. Content alignment between what is tested and what is taught
is essential. What is taught should be linked to valued outcomes for students in the district.
3. Scoring and Subsequent Communications with Consumers. In large scale assessment systems, the
scoring and interpretation of performance assessment instruments is akin to a criterion-referenced
approach to testing. A students performance is evaluated by a trained rater who compares the students
responses to multitrait descriptions of performances and then gives the student a single number
corresponding to the description that best characterizes the performance. Students are compared directly
to scoring criteria and only indirectly to each other. In the classroom, every student needs feedback when
the purpose of performance assessment is diagnosis and monitoring of student progress. Students can
be shown how to assess their own performances when:
What are your insights and feeling about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
The new trends in classroom assessment will help to perceive a
better learning outcome. In that way, students will become
motivated in developing their skills and abilities. One good thing
about this authentic assessment is that, Multiple Intelligences will
be developed and enhanced because it does not focus on the
cognitive development of the student rather demonstrates
learning. I have learned that creating meaningful performance of
assessment is necessary and essential to achieve and to obtain a
much richer and more complete image of what students know and
are able to do.
With this activity I have learned that, a great and effective teacher
can provide anything for the sake of students learning. With this
article I have learned more that what Ive learned before, making
an assessment that covers the cognitive development will not fit in
various types of leaning and abilities of individual learner. If we try
to change the system of assessment, Authentic based assessment
will be the best way of acquiring the multiple intelligences of the
learner by providing such criteria as an instrument to gather the
evaluation for making grades and scores. In that way, students
encourage themselves to do their unique abilities and skills that will
arose their interests.
Classroom assessments are done to determine how well students have assimilated the course material.
Classroom assessments can be local, statewide or national. The results of the assessment could have
bearing on funding for the school and the teachers career. Classroom assessments can take many forms
but the most common is a standardized test.
1. Socioeconomic Factors
Students vary greatly in many respects. Students who come from poor socioeconomic circumstances may
have different priorities from those from more privileged backgrounds. In economically depressed areas,
the priorities of the students may not favor such tests. For example, students who are abused at home
and struggle to find food may not care about their education at all. The teachers primary concern may be
to simply teach basic skills, even though the students should technically be at a higher level.
Cultural Bias
Classroom assessments have been criticized for being culturally biased. Students from foreign countries
or non-American families may be at a severe disadvantage. If English is not the students first language
she is even more disadvantaged. The test may be designed for all students but all students are not the
same.
Impact
The classroom assessment may have an impact on the amount of funding the school receives and also
reflect on teachers unfairly. Teachers who are teaching with limited resources in overcrowded classrooms
are at a significant disadvantage. The test may not address the real educational needs of a particular
classroom.
Preparation
Some schools dedicate a disproportionate amount of time to preparing for the test in order to have
students perform well. The educators may want to make their school look good so they teach the test and
not the material. Students learn how to successfully pass the test but may not come away with any
significant understanding.
My freshman-year introductory psychology course was designed like most courses one finds not just at
the college level, but from middle school onward. The main means of teaching was lecture, and the main
assessment of performance was a set of tests that measured our recall and basic understanding of the
facts taught in the course. I got a C. My professor commented to me, There is a famous Sternberg in
psychology, and it looks like there wont be another one. I got discouraged, left psychology, and came
back only when I was failing my introductory course for math majors and decided a C was better than
an F.
Thirty-five years later, I became president of the American Psychological Association, which, with a
membership of 155,000, is the largest professional organization of psychologists in the world. In some
ways, it is the best position one can get in the field of psychology. I cracked to my predecessor that it was
ironic that I, who had gotten a C in my introductory course, was now president of the association. He
looked me straight in the eye and admitted that he, too, had gotten a C.
This vignette points out in microcosm what may be wrong with the assessments to which we, as a society,
have committed ourselves. As a teacher or administrator, how many times have you had to take a
multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blank test except perhaps, when you needed to show that you were
supposedly qualified for your job? When I look at the skills and concepts I have needed to succeed in my
own field, I find a number that are crucial: creativity, common sense, wisdom, ethics, dedication, honesty,
teamwork, hard work, knowing how to win and how to lose, a sense of fair play, and lifelong learning. But
memorizing books is certainly not one of them.
One can argue, with justification, that one cannot think without content to think with and about. This is
indisputable. But when we teach only for facts, rather than for how to go beyond facts, we teach students
how to get out of date. For example, the facts that I learned in my introductory psychology course matter
little today. An introductory text today contains almost entirely different facts. I know: I am the author of
one of those textbooks (Sternberg, 2004). Other fields, such as the hard sciences, political science,
economics, and so forth, change at least as rapidly. Even the humanities change: A set of classic works
remains, but the interpretationsand even what constitutes such interpretationschange.
So what should we assess? We should assess what students need to become active and engaged
citizens of the world in which they will livein a sense, what it takes to be expert citizens. Oddly enough,
a lot of models can prepare students for the roles they will play in their world. Traditional schooling just
does not happen to be one of them. We should also assess in ways that can help students develop the
skills they need for success in school and life.
Consider students on an athletic team. They learn declarative knowledge about the sport. But learning the
rules of the game will no more help them in playing the game than memorizing a book of rules on driving
will help someone drive. The students also need to learn how to play the sport.
But the most important skills they learn have nothing to do with one sort or another. These skills are very
much like those I mentioned previously: dedication, honesty, teamwork, common sense, and the wisdom
to distinguish right from wrong. Athletics is not the only model for such learning. Consider the members of
an orchestra or of a dance ensemble. They, too, must learn to work together and must develop similar
skills.
How might assessments better reflect the kinds of skills that matternot just in school, but also in life
beyond school? This is a question that we in the Center for the Psychology of Abilities, Competencies,
and Expertise, formerly at Yale and now at Tufts University, have posed for ourselves. It is a challenge
that we have, to some extent, taken as our life work.

What are your insights and feelings about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
The new classroom assessment nowadays recommends an
assessment in which students can perform the learning they have
learned in a specific subject matter. This assessment is somehow
perfect for it really comply the students level of understanding. This
new type of assessment seems to give more lively experience to all
learners, because of this, students can use what they have learned.
This type of assessment give emphasis to what a child really needs
to know they will surely use in the real life situation.
Date Retrieve:
How good are test? As a teacher, you assume that test scores are based only on student ability
and that they provide accurate information about students performance. Research has shown, however,
that under certain conditions these assumptions are wrong. The adage, if it isnt broken, dont fix it
obviously applies to testing. However, if you are a typical teacher, you may not be aware of some of the
pitfalls that regularly occur in testing. The following then will help you determine if your test need
improvement and will provide suggestions for making your test more effective.
1. Decide Purpose
Formative-need to cover basic principles.
Summative need to cover a wide range of concepts and be designed to discriminate
among abilities.
1. List content areas and how many questions you need.
Should be based on objectives and what was taught.
Include information on levels of learning if you want to examine various levels of
understanding.
1. Create items
Decide format/type of items.
Subjective formats typically requires less time to construct, more to evaluate.
Essay, Short Answer, Fill In
Whether the whole test is of one format or contains multiple formats, items collectively should cover what
was taught and be capable of assessing extent to which objectives are met.
What are your insights and feelings about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
Nowadays, classroom assessment alters as more scientific,
interactive and communicative process that undergo by both
students and teachers. Educators find themselves faced with the
task of creating classrooms that will serve their students well.
Instead of traditional assessment, teachers prefer to use authentic
assessment as a modern way of evaluation, for it addresses many
purposes; one of these is to obtain feedback that will guide teacher
in making modifications.
One cause for assessment anxiety is confusion about what assessment means and about its purpose. In
the minds of many community members and parents, assessment means testespecially a high-stakes
state test. For students, assessment often is perceived as a means of competing with classmates for the
highest grade instead of as a mile marker on the journey to increased knowledge and understanding.
All assessments are created to serve some purpose, whether to diagnose a learning disability, to identify
a student who needs remediation, or to determine whether a school district has met its achievement
goals. However, no one assessment serves all of these purposes well. Standardized, summative
assessmentsthose high-stakes testsare designed to provide information on the performance of
districts and schools so resources and support can be well targeted. But for classroom teachers, that
information is incomplete. The results might tell teachers which students in their classes have not
mastered a reading comprehension objective, but they do not tell what kind of instruction those students
need to master the objective or what errors in thinking led to the incorrect answers. To get that kind of
information, teachers need the results provided by the consistent use of classroom-based formative
assessments.
This months newsletter explains why ongoing, high-quality classroom assessments are so important and
provides some suggestions for how they can be developed and used.
Collecting data on student understanding is an essential step in moving students toward full
understanding of important concepts and standards. Instruction and formative assessment are
indivisible, say authors Paul Black and Dylan Wiliam (1998, p. 143). Assessment refer[s] to all those
activities undertaken by teachersand by their students in assessing themselvesthat provide
information to be used as feedback to modify teaching and learning activities. [It is] formative
assessment when the evidence is actually used to adapt the teaching to meet student needs (p. 140).
The researchers found that strengthening formative assessments can raise student achievement overall
and be especially helpful to low-achieving students (Black & Wiliam, 1998).
Using Assessment in the Classroom
Creating and using effective classroom assessments require skill and practice; however, the following
guidelines can help teachers explore the practice of using assessment to improve instruction. Offering
professional development in the design of high-quality classroom assessments is one way that schools
and districts can support the application of these practices.
All assessments, whether devised in the classroom or administered by the state accountability office,
should be tied to a curriculum based on state academic content standards. As a first step, teachers
should determine which state standards are assessed on the large-scale tests. Next, as author W. James
Popham (2006) points out, there should be a careful analysis of the subskills and knowledge within those
standards that students are supposed to master. This step is important if formative assessments are
going to provide instructionally relevant information. Once this analysis is complete, teachers can work
together to develop a bank of locally relevant lessons and formative assessment tasks that draw on
different learning modalities.
Involving the learner is at the heart of the shift from assessment that measures learning to assessment
that promotes learning. Learners can be involved in assessment in several ways. They can be provided
with rubrics or checklists that clearly explain the standard against which their work will be evaluated.
Students also can be shown work that is excellent and work that needs improvement and can be given
help analyzing the differences between them. Stiggins envisions environments in which students use
assessments to understand what success looks like and how to do better next time (2004, p. 25).
Author Marilyn Burns (2005) advocates questioning as a formative assessment that involves students.
Whether verbal or written, thoughtful questions can be used to probe student responses and elicit student
reasoning. Flawed reasoning, she points out, can be found in both correct and incorrect student answers.
This questioning strategy provides teachers with insights into student thinking that can guide their
refinement of future lessons. It also helps students reflect on their own thought processes, a practice
called metacognition.
Data that result from a regularly administered variety of formative assessments can provide teachers with
reams of information about their instruction, what worked, what did not, and what to do next. Neither the
formative assessment nor the data need to be elaborate. Teachers can compile student responses to find
out which students are missing achievement targets and how. Often patterns or trends will emerge when
teachers ask and answer questions, such as Are all of my students making the same kind of error?; Do
their mistakes show that they dont have the background knowledge they need to understand this
Perhaps the most challenging aspect of using formative assessments is knowing what to do with the
results. Results that indicate a student has not learned an important concept or skill call for corrective
instruction and additional opportunities for the student to demonstrate learning.

What are your insights and feelings about the new trends in
classroom assessment?
All assessment are created to serve some purpose, whether to
diagnose a learning disability or to identify a student who needs
remediation. Gathering data through the results of students
understanding is an essential step in lifting students toward full
understanding of important concepts. This new trends in classroom
assessment are very interesting and challenging because there is a
technology that is accompanied. There will be enjoyment on the
fart of students and teacher however there are adjustments on the
part of the teacher to be made for the sake of students learning.
How did you feel about the teachers experience in the use of authentic assessment?
We are so glad and thankful that we were able to observe a teacher that uses authentic assessment. We
learned that the teachers role was to assist or facilitate the students during the activity. They teacher
gives feedback to the students with regards to the activity that they are performing. In a process based
assessment specifically the problem solving, we learned that we must consider the utmost effort of
students in solving the problem though the final answer is not correct because it is the process of the
solution that we are ought to assess.
What do you think have been the gains enjoyed by the teacher and his/ her students from using
authentic assessment?
The teacher gains convenience because her role was to assist the students in order for them to be guided
and not to deviate on the procedure of the activity.
The students gain enjoyment during activities because they actively interact to each other. There
was a discussion and cooperative learning that happens, because each of them are sharing their ideas
though some ideas were not relevant but still they were able to perform the activity.
Which part of the teachers use of authentic assessment do you feel like improving or revising?
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. There will be no negotiations that will happen
between the teacher and students if there will be no criteria. Essential criterias are highly needed in order
to have a set of standards or basis on what we are going to evaluate.

Highway, Sagay City
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.
What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my process-oriented performance
assessment design?
A successful use of PBA 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. Cooking), 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.
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 not suited and
appropriate in all kinds of subject matter.
Learning Objective:
To study the forces involved in uniform circular motion and apply central force equation.
The students will able to measure the angular speed, mass and radius of rotation.
Learning Episodes:
The students are going to observe and find out the forces involved in uniform circular motion measuring
the angular speed, mass and radius of motion.
Assessment Task:
I will evaluate and rate their work based on the rubric I have given.
Asking them to explain on how they arrive the process of their solution.
Judging their work using the criteria while they are presenting their activity.
Procedure: A ball is made to swing horizontally in a circular path at such speed that it just supports a
body of known mass hanging vertically at the center of the path. The central force equation is checked by
measuring the angular speed, mass and radius of rotation.

The activity uses materials which makes the activity experiential for
the students
Students can develop their HOTS through engaging to experiential activities and learning.
In giving this assessment I must give a standard which guides me as a teacher in giving fair rating to my
students.
The best features of my process-oriented performance assessment design is that it shows up the actual
performance of the students wherein me as a teacher/ facilitator can observe their doings for me to
determine how they come up an output, and because it shows the actual performance of the students I
can also observe their behavior towards the task, if they perform it well in accordance to the procedure or
not.
What specific conditions are necessary for successful use of my process-oriented performance
assessment design?

To have a successful use of process-oriented performance design, first and foremost thing to
consider is that it must be based on the learning objective, so that you as a teacher is guided on the task
you are necessary to give. Second, make sure that the task you give will make students actually perform.
In making this kind of design, as a facilitator, I must make sure that I can develop their
metacognition through the use of process-oriented performance design. I should also consider the use of
the learning target wherein it will serve as a guide if my design is relevant on the specific topic, for it is
necessary that the assessment tool is connected to the learning target.

Group Analysis
Do you think your originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can
appropriately assess the teachers learning objective? Why? / Why not?
There were five topics that we had observed namely: Centripetal force, Centrifugal Force,
Ohms Law, series circuit and parallel circuit. This process-oriented performance assessment is only
applicable for the three topics such as Ohms Law, series circuit and parallel circuit. We conclude that the
process-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teachers learning objective for
the three said topics because there were there were problem solving involved. Process of the solution was
required, and there were points given for every correct solution. The learning objective of the two
remaining topics cannot be assessed By a process-oriented performance assessment.
Why do teachers need to give attention to the students process-oriented tasks? Why do they
need to assess them?
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 with a correct answer but the process was wrong and it is very suspicious or
doubtful, thats why assessing them will give a justice for those students who really did their job.
It is very appropriate and effective to use in a laboratory activity such as experiments, also in problem
solving, steps in dancing or cooking, in research works, showing the process of water cycle, carbon-
oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle and photosynthesis. This process-oriented performance assessment is
necessary to use when we are assessing the process or steps upon how the students arrive with a correct
product or output.
Group Reflection
There is a cooperative and collaborative learning that happens in this part of FS. Two heads are better
than one; it means that all of us are helping each other to accomplish the coal. Through cooperation we
are able to finish our task successfully and it makes our task more easier. It is important that each of us is
responsible for every task that we are ought to finish in for us to meet the target.
We set a goal that is specific measurable attainable relevant and time bound in order for us to become
more adept in making and designing a plan especially this process-oriented performance assessment.

Group Analysis
Do you think your originally designed product-oriented performance assessment can
appropriately assess the teachers learning objective? Why?/Why not?
Our designed product-oriented performance assessment cannot appropriately assess the teachers
learning objective because the product-oriented performance assessment is not consistent and suited to
the learning objective of the five subject matter. We were compelled to change the learning objective just
to make sure that the five subject matter will be applicable for the product-oriented performance
assessment.
We make sure that the learning objectives that we had made were suited and appropriate
to the product-oriented performance assessment in order for it to become more effective in assessing the
learning of the students.
Why do teachers need to give attention to the students product-oriented tasks? Why do
they need to assess them?
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 it will be
effective to use if I have a rubric that will clearly show students performance will be evaluated and it
increases students sense of responsibility for their own work.
Group Reflection
Based on our experience in using authentic assessment, we 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 means that it is an assessment for learning and assessment as
learning. It was an assessment for learning because it provides feedback and it improves learning. Verbal
or written feedback can be provided to the students but we must be primarily descriptive, emphasize
strengths, identify gaps and plan for improvement. The feedback can be based on various sources such
as portfolio, dialogue, written test and teacher observation. It is an assessment as learning because there
is a self reflection and it has something to do with metacognition. The students become more accountable
for their own learning or his thinking process.
The use of rubric and criteria are highly needed in assessing the learning of the students. Through
the use of rubric the students will have ideas on how to improve the learning and there is a reflection and
meatacognition that helps the students see their strength and weaknesses because of the criteria and
indicator that are include in the rubric.
By Joanna Fuchs
Overall Refelection
As a future teacher someday, we will always bear in our minds that learners are rich in
learning capabilities. The process of learning are highly unique and individual, this means that in a
classroom there is individual differences that we must consider. We need to assist our future students to
define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they ordinarily use so that they can become
more effective in problem solving and learning. We learned that one of the riches resources for learning is
the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude which
comprise a rich vein of material for problem solving and learning. We consider learners as the richest
resources for learning because they have their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift, interest
which express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and enjoyable, they also
have their own ability which pictates the prospect of success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is
the learners perspective and disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their socio-
economic background.
We also learned that learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of
ideas and learning is gradual its because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher someday we must
extend our patience. To be a good teacher someday we must have passion to both our work and to our
students, we must have also humor in a way that has connection to the topic, also values and attitude,
fairness, sincerity and honesty, and professionalism.
