 Observations which include date and information that

the teacher collects from daily work with students.

 Performance samples which are tangible results that
demonstrate student achievements.
 Tests and measures of student’s Actual performance
specific place and time.
To make observation-based assessment systematic and
objective, Diane Heart(1994) suggested the ff. guidelines:
1. Observe not only one but all the students.
2. Observation must be as frequent and as regular as possible.
3. Observations must be recorded in writing.
4. Observations should cover both routine and exceptional
occurrences.
5. Reliability of observation records is enhanced if multiple
observations are gathered and synthesized.
 Developmental Checklist is an observation tool which
requires the teacher recorder to describe the traits or
learning behaviors being assessed. When used regularly
during the school year, developmental checklists give a
moving picture of the student’s progress towards the
desired competencies.

also called the conference recording form. Interview
sheets consists of a list of questions the teacher intends
to ask and space recording the student’s answers.

 A portfolio is a compilation of pieces of evidence of an
individual’s skills, ideas, interests, and accomplishments. It
can be as simple as a folder of these pieces of evidence, as
fancy as a neat scrapbook containing evidence of a student’s
accomplishments or as high-tech as a laser disk containing
stored descriptions, written works and pictures of the
student’s activities and accomplishments.
The portfolio serves the following purposes:
a) The teacher can assess the growth and development of the
students at various levels.
b) Parents are informed of the progress of their children in
school.
c) Instructional supervisors are able to evaluate the strengths
and weaknesses of the academic program.
What can be included on a portfolio?

 Students achievements at specific place an time are
actual student performances that deserve to be assessed.
One of the most frequently used measurements instrument
is the checklist.
A performance checklist consists of a list of behaviors
that make up a certain type of performance (e.g. using
microscope, preparing a letter, solving a mathematics
performance, etc.). It is used to determine whether or not an
individual behaves in a certain way(usually desired) when
asked to complete a particular task. If a particular behavior
is present when an individual is observed, the teacher places
a check opposite it on the list.
Behavior:
_____ 1. identifies the given information
_____ 2. identifies what is being asked
_____ 3. uses variables to replace the unknown
_____ 4. formulates the equation
_____ 5. performs algebraic expressions
_____ 6. obtains an answer
_____ 7. verifies if the answer is correct
 Oral questioning is an appropriate assessment method
for actual performance when the objectives are: (a) to
assess the student’s stock knowledge and/or (b) to
determine the student’s ability to communicate ideas in
coherent verbal sentences.
 While oral questioning is indeed an option for assessment,
several factors need to be considered when using this
option. Of particular significance are the student’s state of
mind and feelings, anxiety and nervousness in making
oral presentations that could mask the student’s true
ability.
 Observations and self-reports need a tally sheet as
device when used by the teacher to record the frequency of
student behaviors, activities or remarks. A self-checklist is
a list of several characteristics or activities presented to the
subjects of the study. The students are asked to study the
list and then to place a mark opposite the characteristics
that they possess or activities in which they have engaged
for a particular length of time.
 Observation and self-reports are useful supplementary
assessment methods when used in conjunction with oral
questioning and performance tests.
