Assignment

This is an assessment wherein the pupils are given time to answer a specific questions.

An assessment tool that gives the pupils an idea of how much they have learned in a particular topic or in the end of the discussion.

This will help the pupils to have links on the next topic. This is usually given at the end of the discussion.

Writing home reading report

The pupils are asked to write a paragraph about a particular topic.

Group discussion The pupils were given the time to share their personal views about a particular topic and discuss it or share it in the class.

Analysis

1. Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the assessment method/s used?

Yes, there are assessment tools or methods used by the teacher relevant to the topic but, I think the assessments used are not really enough in assessing pupils’ learning. Because, it is more on traditional assessments it is really good if it is more on authentic assessments for them to be able to retain the topics easily.

2. Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?

Yes, it is properly and appropriately assessed because the results of the assessment is good and and I can see that the pupils have really learned from their discussion or from the topic taught to them.

My Reflections

Being a teacher it is our responsible to make an appropriate assessment tools to be used in assessing students’ learning inside the classroom not just to test or to measure their learning or knowledge they have acquired but, also to measure how effective we are as a teacher. Especially in elementary that we

4

really need to do a great effort for us to know if we really have shared or impart knowledge to the young minds.

Analysis

1. Do you think the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately assessed by your test items?

Yes, the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately assessed by my test items because through that they able to analyze properly the correct answer asked in the following items.

2. Why do you have to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool?

In making assessment tool for the learners we really need to know the objectives or goal of the teacher in a specific topic for us to be able to make a good and appropriate test items for them.

Reflection

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

If you are a teacher you should have the attitude of being fair or have the concept of fairness. Fairness which means you needs to be equal in dealing your students/pupils all the time. Like, in giving compliment and feedback to them, also you should be fair in making your assessment tool, you should make an assessment that corresponds to the level capability of

8

your pupils/students. Because there are learners who are bright or intelligent and there are also who are slow learners and late bloomer learners.

“LOG ME”

Course:BEED IV



My Target

At the end of this activity, I will be informed on the principles of authentic assessment and its usefulness in the classroom.

My way

Authentic assesment is an alternative way of assessing student’s learning. To be able to use it, you must first have deep understanding of it.

My Review notes Authentic Assessment in ActionAt Sammamish High School, our staffs have dedicated our professional development to building expertise in the key elements of problem-based learning. Previous blog entries by my colleagues have given an overview of this process, as well as exploring how we include student voice and work withauthentic problems. Another crucial element of successful problem-based learning is using authentic assessment throughout all stages of a unit to constantly evaluate and improve student learning

Our staffs are still discovering how to best translate cutting edge assessment techniques into old-fashioned reporting practices. The answers aren't necessarily obvious or easy, but our early returns suggest that the gains in student learning are certainly worth the effort.

http://www.edutopia.org/blog/sammamish-1-comprehensive-high-school-adrienne-curtis

What were your personal strategies in choosing relevant articles to read? My personal strategies in choosing articles to read are. First i choose those

articles that can catch my attention either in the image that are in the article or the topic of it also, those that are relevant and I can relate with and an article which I can get learning on it.

What are your insights and feelings about new trends in classroom assessment? Nowadays there are few teachers who are using the traditional assessment tools in

assessing students learning because, we cannot really deny the fact that using authentic assessment tools is a great help for the pupils/students to gain more knowledge and it is easy for the learners to retain the lessons they have discussed because they have experience it or they are hands on.

What is your most meaningful learning from this activity?

My most meaningful learning from this activity is, through this I am able to know that authentic assessment is a very helpful tool in assessing student’s performance or learning in school that we should not depend on traditional way of giving assessments because, authentic assessment can make the learners think or they will be able to think comprehensively.

Question: Do you use authentic assessment in your class? Answer: Yes, I use authentic assessment in my class so, I would know if my pupils have really learned by letting them show a demonstration or tell about their learning.Question: How do you assess group activities in the classroom? Answer: I assess it by giving them time to think about the topic I have given to them and by letting them share their thoughts and opinions to their respective groups and after the sharing of ideas I am letting them speak in the whole class of what they have discussed or I am letting

MY INTERVIEW NOTES

them demonstrate it on the front it depends on the activity I have given to them. Question: Is it good to use variety of assessment methods or assessment tools in the classroom? Answer: Yes, it is good that we use variety of assessments methods and tools in the classroom for us to really measure the strengths and weaknesses of the learner.Question: How can we say that an assessment tool is accurate and valid? Answer: We can say that an assessment is accurate and valid if it really measures the learning of the pupils/students and it connects on the topic you have discussed to the learner.

How did you feel about the teacher’s experience in the use of authentic assessment?

I think the use of authentic assessment by the teacher in her class is really a big help and a great factor in giving the learner a good learning process.

What do you think have been the gains enjoyed by the teacher and his/her students from using authentic assessment?

I think the gains enjoyed by teacher and students in using authentic assessment are. First, the students enjoyed different experiences and as the same time they are learning, for the teacher, she will enjoy the performances and presentation of her pupils and at the same she will easily know if her pupils have learned. And the pupils will get a variety opinions and ideas which they will enjoy or use in their daily lives, and for the teacher, she will also learn from her students.

Which part of the teacher’s use of authentic assessment do you feel like improving or revising?

I think the teacher’s use of authentic assessment that I feel like improving is in the way that she use the assessment continuously and let the learners know that experiences is still the best teacher and also in the way that she keeps on searching for the best assessments for her pupils/learners and make that assessment a more enjoyable.

Analysis

1. Do you think that your originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not? Yes, my originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can

appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective because I make sure that I made it according to the interest of the learners and based on the teacher’s objective.

2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them? Teachers really need to give attention to the students’ process oriented task for

him/her to know which part the learner is capable of and which part does the learner is weak.

going to test their level of capability and to know which part they are more interested.

Reflections

Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about your personal strategies for making your efforts successful in this part of your FS.

In making this part of my field study I realized that being a teacher is not really an easy job. Because you need to look and search for an appropriate assessments for your

17

students but, at the end it feels so good that after your hardships in making the assessments you would see the worth of it if your pupils/students have gain or learned from you. After answering this part of the field study I have learned that using appropriate assessment can really help in the success of the transformations of the child and in transferring of knowledge from the teacher to students, from students to teacher and from students to students.

NOTES ON MY PRODUCT – ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN

Analysis

1. Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not? Yes, it can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective for the reason that if we

are making an assessment we are make it sure that at the end of the day you have met you goal or objectives.

2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them? Teachers really need to give attention to the student’s product-oriented tasks for

him/her to know if that pupil or learner really what she had instructed. And through it we can see if how creative or what are the uniqueness of each of the learners.

3. In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately? This kind of assessment is really need if you are going to test the capability or skills of

the pupils/students to do or to come up a good product.

ReflectionsWrite your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights or

new understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment. Then share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates. Also draw some insights from your classmates’ sharing.

After answering all the questions in this field study I realized that as a future teacher we should be more observant and give more attention to our pupils/students because all of them have a different characteristics and capabilities that we should enhance

22

through the use of different methods, strategies and assessment tools. Also, after answering this field study I understand how a teacher should be in dealing his/her pupils. And through this I have learned many things that I can use when I am already in the field of teaching. That in giving assessment is a task that we need to think and examine carefully and we should based it on the learners and the learning objectives for it to be successfully done.

Things they wanted in life. Instead I am going to leave a mark

That would help them become optimistic in everything especially when they think they have nothing.

B. If you were a subject, what would you be? Why?If I am going to be a subject I wanted to be a “Math”subject. Why? Because, I want my pupils/students to know and understand that in every problems there is a corresponding solution to it, and they should not let those problems weakened and defeat them but instead they should be more patient in seeking the best way of solving it.

OBSERVATION REPORT


School Address:Mabini Street

Date of Visit:

Mabini Elementary School is located at Mabini Street beside the CENECO. This school provides a conducive environment for the learning process of the pupils and every teacher of this institution is approachable and willing to help you if you need something or you need their help. In this institution I understand how important the role of each person. The teachers, faculty and the principal because, without the teachers the institution is nothing and also the principal who has a great task to be done under her supervision that without her full dedication and giving importance to each person of the school all of it are just useless.

The Mabini institution help me realized and understand how a teacher should be in and out of the classroom. I can say that Staying in that institution for 4 days really helped me a lot.

Classroom Management Area

ObservationDescription of the Supportive MeasuresObserved

My AnalysisComments on the Effectiveness of the Supportive Measure

My AnalysisRecommendations

1. Organizational Plan

The organizational plan is good. Everything inside the classroom is put in the right place or position.

It is effective in the sense that it gives the pupils a convience.

They should maintain having a well organized classroom.

2. Schedule They have a well planned schedule. They follow the activities allotted in each time.

It is good that they well planned activities in each time allotted to them.

The teacher should always do activities relevant to the topic..

3. Record Keeping The teacher makes sure that she checks the attendance before she starts the class. And records the scores of her pupils.

The checking of attendance before starting the class and keeping their scores is good for the reason that you would be able to know or monitor your student’s capabilities.

She should update the grade or scores of her pupils.

4. Physical She makes sure that Providing a conducive She should maintain

31

Classroom Management Matrix

Environment she provides a conducive environment for the learning process of her pupils.

environment is really important for them to be comfortable while learning.

and always makes sure that everything in the classroom is safe.

5. Discipline The teacher disciplines her pupils properly.

Disciplining your learners is very important for you to maintain a peace environment.

She should always maintain the peace and order inside the classroom.

6. Routines They have well planned routines inside the classroom. Which the teacher makes sure that the daily routines are done properly.

Having well planned routines is good in order for the students to develop their initiative and independent in doing the tasks inside the classroom.

They should continue their daily routines and also improve it.

Analysis

1. In what area of classroom management was the teacher most effective? Which of the supportive measures is effective? Why?

The teacher is most effective in the physical environment of the classroom because she makes sure that everything is in proper places and she makes sure that her pupils are comfortable inside the classroom so that the process learning is continuous.

2. In what area of classroom management was the teacher least effective? Which supportive measures were not effective?

Maybe, she is least effective in disciplining her learners. She disciplines them but, not really that much, because sometimes she can’t control her pupils if they noisy or doing something.

3. Suggest for more effective ways for your answer in number 2. I could suggest that she would give consequences to those who are not behaving. Or

talk to their parents about the behaviour of your child and make some strategies that would help you to minimize their unusual behaviour.

32

Reflections

1. Describe at least 3-5 characteristics of a teacher who can establish a well managed classroom?

A teacher that can establish a well manage classroom is someone who knows how to deal with the attitude or behaviour his/her pupils/students, someone who is fair to all of her/his pupils/students and someone who is flexible in and out of the school.

2. What characteristics do you have in present that can make you an effective classroom manager? Elaborate how these characteristics can help you.

I think the characteristic that I have that can make me an effective manager is the attitude of being patient. Because we all know that being a teacher we should always be patient in the attitude and behaviour of our pupils/students that if they have done wrong you are not going to punish him/her but, you need to give patience to listen to his/her complaints or his/her side why he/she have done those things.

3. What characteristics do you have in present that can hamper you from becoming an effective classroom manager? How can you overcome these characteristics?

Maybe, being a flexible because sometimes I cannot do many things at the same time or to be like this or that if needed. But, as a future teacher I would train myself to be flexible in every situation that I may encounter.

Course: BEED IV



An Observation Guide for a Community Tour

School Address: Mabini Street

Date of Visit:

School’s Locality

The Mabini Elementary School is located at Mabini Street beside the CENECO.It is accessible for public transportation and surrounded by different barangays where most of the pupils of the school is staying.

Issues/concerns/problems

I think the problem is the pollution wash out by different transportation use that can make the pupils become polluted.

Resources of the community

The school has many stores where pupils can buy foods or materials they needed in school.

Community Assistance/ service from the schoolThe community where the school is located helps the school in maintaining the peace and order and if there are programs the parents are willing to help the school.

Analysis

1. Suggest new ways by which the school can creatively use the resources of the community.I can say that a school can creatively use the resources of the community if the school put concerns on the resources that a community have and both the community and the school will connive to produce a good product.

Reflections

1. How did you feel while you were going around the community? What things did you learn that you might have taken for granted before? While I am going around the community I really feel that the people there are giving

importance on the education of their children. And the thing that I have learned that I have taken for granted before is, I regret those times when I am not socializing other people which hopefully helps me in my daily life and in the future.

2. As a future teacher, what do you think will be your role in the community? As a future teacher, I think my role in the community is I will be standing as a leader

who will leads the community in every aspect. As we all know teachers are known to be reliable in the community that whatever is task given to you are expected to do the best thing in that possible situation and condition.

3. How will you encourage more community participation among teachers and students? I will be encouraging them by giving them benefits if a particular thing happens if both

the teachers and students would have a participation in a possible situation.

Below is a clip art essay on what a global teacher is. Examine each part of the clip art essay. Think of a title for it. What message does it convey to you? Write a reflection on this.

40

Title

Are you a global teacher?

It’s Message:

The illustration or the clip art conveys that being a global teacher you should know everything or you know every aspect of life. Like in the picture, you can see there is a computer and book, it means that a teacher should not just depend on books but, also he/she should get other opinions or additional information from the computer and would not just stick in one information. Because a global teacher is not just concerned in imparting knowledge but, how much knowledge she could share to his/her pupils to make them knowledgeable one. Next is, being a global teacher we should always have the love in teaching as well as to our pupils as we love our own child, relative or parents. That, we should know the strengths and weaknesses of each of our pupils/students.Another, to be considered as global teacher you should be useful in the community especially if there are activities in the said community and lastly, being a global teacher you should be internationally and globally competent, that wherever you go you are always excelling in your own way or through the skills, knowledge and values that you have.

My Reflection:

As a global teacher you have a great responsibility in school, to your pupils/student and to the community. As a global teacher you should not just give your service but, give it with passion and dedication. And also as a global teacher you should be molded as a

41

wholesome individual that wherever you go you will still bring and recognize by people for what you are as a teacher.

very important for it helps the teachers know what the things they should do are and what are the things that they should avoid to do. But, nowadays we can really see that most teachers are not following with the guidelines and policies that sometimes the cause of misunderstanding. This will help me understand and know what should I do and do not do if I am already in the field of teaching.
