Your Target
At the end of this activity, you will be keen at identifying and naming different
assessment methods used in the classroom.

YourMap
To be aware of the assessment tools that are used in the classrooms, you will find
interest in observing teachers assessment practices.
To hit your target, work your way through this 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 three classes and make a list of
the assessment methods used by teachers.

Your Tools
As you visit schools and observe assessment practices in at least three classes,
document your observations using the activity forms provided for you in this book. For
your pen-and-paper test items, customize a table of specification, and prepare the test
material based on the prescriptions of the school where you do class observation.

DESCRIPTION
(Bulleted description of how the assessment method
is used relative to subject matter, levels of learning
behaviour, length, etc.)
1. Strategic

As I observed, this material is commonly used

Intervention

to remediate the topic which is not totally

Material

understand my her students, and I really see it

as a effective tool in teaching because it
includes the guide card which is there we will
found the objective, and the guide on how the
students will have to use it, also the activity
card, atleast 3 or more activity are there and
when I see the SIM, the topic is about the
Similarity Triangle, and students as I observed
is found difficulty in Similarity Triangle. And this
material will be a way so that the students will
much understand this topic.

2. Oral Quastioning

This really helps the students in first recopping

the lesson or stating the last topic that
discussed and explaining how the topic

discussed to them.
Also during the discussions the teacher ask
questions about thetopic that she discussed,
and for me the art of questioning is really
important because in this particular way you
might know that your students are actually
listening to the teacher.

They used it during quiz and seatworks.

wrong.
The teacher properly used this in times
of remediating the students on the topic

that they didnt understand.

The teacher ask her students in a way
that the students will not be shy to
answer the questions because some
questions that they asked is answerable

on their own because some questions

are applied in true to life situations
which is good because the topic is apply
in a real world setting.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW ASSESSMENT METHOD

WAS USED
(Please include your personal observations and
comments below the description.)

It was used to determine students in

Performance-

using their knowledge in solving some

discussed to them.
Because they are using a material and
they also have some written quiz and
examination that they have to compile per
quarter as the teacher requiring it to
them.

YourAnalysis
Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How
relevant was/were the assessment methods used?
Yes there were varieties of assessment methods used by the
teachers testing the students knowledge and ability by giving them

Strategic Intervention Material and also giving them quiz and seatworks to
assess how far did they already learned and how can they acquire more than
what they already know. They train students by giving them the chance to
learn by themselves with the guide of the teacher because as the principles
of teaching says none of the learning material can replaced the tearcher
and they give them motivation to enhance their study habits so they wont
be behind the class, as we all know the students are much motivated if you
give them activity that they really enjoy.

Do you think the expected students learning behaviours indicated in

the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment
methods?
Students learning behaviours indicates in the goal or objectives
of the teacher that the assessment methods properly assessed the students,
like in the oral recitation, students participated and answered the questions
of the teacher, which is very good, they also make some group activities that
shows the cooperative learning, as I observed they also have the individual
activity like for example the teacher is about o discussed the similarity
triangle and then the ask the students to bring colored paper and in that
time the students are very much excited to cut the colored paper in the form
of a triangle.

YourReflections
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.
Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
The importance of heaving a appropriate assessment methods is that in thi
particular way, you will absolutely achieve your goal or objective in teaching a specific
topic, which is as a teacher we must cope with those paricular assessment methods
especially the art of questioning, we as future educators must practice how to facilitate
the students and ask them questions regarding the topic that discussed to them, in that

way we will know if our students are listening during our discussion, giving them also
activity that will wake them to be motivated to listen to the teacher is also an important
thing because we as teacher must inspire them to learn more about the subject
mathematics because as we all know Mathematics is used in everyday life. The learning
material, Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) is a very nice learnig material that I see as
of now, because this really guides the students in learning a certain topic although it is
quite hard to make this kind of educational material.
