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.

YourAnalysis
Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How
relevant was/were the assessment methods used?
Yes, there is variety of assessment methods used by the teacher. All of the assessment
methods used was relevant but I think he should explore more. As we have
observed, there is no authentic type of assessment being use which is much
enjoyable and should corresponds to students needs.
Do you think the expected students learning behaviours indicated in the
objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?
Yes, the expected students learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were
properly assessed through those assessment methods. Based on students answers
during recitation and on their seatworks. Theyve got a high score.

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.
As a future Math Educator, the use of appropriate assessment methods in the
classroom is really important and should always take into consideration. The
assessment methods always correspond to assessment tools. As a real teacher, we are
not only after their scores. We are focusing on our students if they really learn. At
the same time, we should also assess ourselves if how effective are we as a source of
learning.

Your Target
At the end of this activity, you will be adept in designing, using, and interpreting
results of objective tests.

YourWay

Designing and using assessment tools sound interesting, especially if you know their
curricular intentions. Take calculated strides in pursuing this interesting task through these
stages:

Step 6: Reflect on your experience.

Step 5: Analyze and interpret the data

and obtained from it focusing on target
competency.
Step 4: Conduct the pen-and-paper test
in a class.

Your Tools

Step 3: Make a Table of Specification and

construct pen-and-paper test items on the
subject observed.
Step 2: Study the teachers objectives of the
lesson. Observe his/her class, focusing on the
evaluation part of the lesson.
Step 1: Visit a class on a subject area of your choice.

As you visit schools, study the teachers objectives, formulate test items, and
interpret results, make a clear documentation of your tasks using the activity forms
provided for you in this book. For your paper-and-pen test items, customize a table of
specification, and prepare the test material based on the prescriptions of the school where
you do class observation.
INITIAL NOTES

Name of the School Observed: Caruhatan National High

School
School Address: Pacencia Street, Don Pedro Village, Marulas,

Date of Visit: January 10, 2017
Year Level: Grade 7
Subject Area: Mathematics
Teaching Learning Objectives: The students should be
able to identify the different part of the circles and
contrast their differences.
The students should also be able to identify the
connection of different parts of the circles to each
other.

Desired conditions and criterion levels of the learning

objectives:

Speed: The students should be able to

answer it with an alert mind once the
teacher ask them what parts of the circle
he is talking about.
Accuracy: They should answer it precisely.
Other notes:

None

YourAnalysis
Do you think the teachers learning objectives was appropriately assessed
by the test items? Why? Or Why not?

Yes. What he had taught were the questions you can see in his assessment tool.
The learning objectives is completely related in the assessment tool.

Why did you have to study the teachers learning objectives prior to
developing an assessment tool?

The learning objectives will set as guide on making an assessment tool. The
assessment tool should be connected and appropriate with the said learning
objectives.

YourReflections
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding the Peace
Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.

Being a teacher is a demanding job. You sometimes cant contain how the
students behave. But as teacher, you should always be fair and square. You
should treat your students equally without having the concept of
favouritism. You should also understand the different levels of capability of
your students since they are all unique individuals. The assessment should be
base on their levels of capability.
