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
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.

based Assessment

informal
assessment
technique of
watching students
to identify the
strengths and
weaknesses,
patterns of

behaviour and
cognitive
strategies.
It is used in daily
to assess students
of different ages
across subject
areas in different
setting.

YourAnalysis
Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How
relevant was/were the assessment methods used?
Yes, there is a variety of expected assessment method used by the teacher
by using the different types of assessment methods depending to the
learning objectives. The assessment tools used by the teacher are creation
type of performance-based assessment; quizzes; oral recitation, and
observation were relevant to the topic or subject matter. Each method has
specified purposes, tasks and focuses to the learning skills of the learners.
They are relevant to the learning objectives, which will be determined the
three domain of objectives.

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

Yes, in my point of view the expected students learning behaviour indicated

in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those
assessment methods or tools used by the teacher. The appropriateness of
assessment method matches the learning objectives of what is intended to
measure. It simply means that they are anchored teach other. Without the
learning objectives, the learning behaviour will not be tested because one of
the domains of objectives is affective which serves as learning behaviour.
Student show their interest, willingness to participate, appreciation and
adopts a long-term value system during class discussion or even in activity
time.

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.
Assessment tools are tools in assessing and evaluating students
performance. It leads to a continuously cycle of improved

Students learning. The appropriateness of assessment method is

depending in the learning objectives the attainment of which is what
you are assessing. Traditionally, teachers used pen-and-paper objective
test to
Assess students mastery of a given concept, substantive subject
matter. This assessment strategy is either teacher-made test or
standardized test and it has a specific correct answer or response. As
time goes by, it has given rise the concept and turn to alternative
assessment that includes the
performance-based assessment and more authentic assessmentwherein the students are being judge through actual performance of
essential and observation skills, creation of products that are grounded
in real context and constraints. They assess directly by using rubrics. It
s indispensable these methods to determine whether or not the
learning objectives have been attained, to measure how well student
have understood the lesson, and in able to what teacher may decide
that some teaching method were effective than others based on the
conclusion. In short, it provides qualitative information that helps
teacher determine how they might improve courses. We have lots to
considering assessing students like a valid assessment tool matches
with learning targets, considering the multiple intelligence and varied

learning style, assessment of learning must be done ina variety of

ways. It should never be used as punishment or disciplinary measure
and it should free from any discrimination, biases, and stereo types or
subjectivity. It is highly need inside the classroom so as not only to
find-out what students know or what to do but it requires also to show
what they can do
And not simply tell what they know/would do. It is more authentic if
they
Directly experience it. Thats simply, learning by doing.
