When she starts the lesson, she uses the
performance tool by which they are task to find
the words in the given box. After the lesson, I saw
her lesson plan and the activities are really
matched to the objectives.
The assessment tool should match to the
learning objective so that the teacher has their
bases of the students learning.
It should match so that the learners will know
the things they are going to learn and they can
have an overview to the lessons.
As I observed in the classroom, the activity that
was given by the teacher is consistent to the
performance objective. The teacher also
introduced and viewed to the students some
examples of contraceptives in order for the
teacher to reach her objectives and for the
learners to understand well the lesson.
The teacher gives a response to the result of
the assessment that used as a basis of
improvement. The pupils that got a high
scores praise them for an achievement while
others she still encourage, help or stimulate
the development of the learner.
The result of the test given by the teacher has
shown a lot of improvement to the class, the
pupils were great because they achieve the 100%

My Reflections
I remember when I was a child the first person who teaches me how to read,
write and count is my beloved mother. My mother is the best teacher for me. Without
the guidance of her maybe my life now will not be better. She always says that
education is only the best treasure and gift that she will be able to give for me. But
before I learn how to read, write and count I experienced some rough treatment of my
mother. She usually punished me by a ruler, stem of a guava tree and sometimes a belt.
I know that my mother has a reason why she punishes me when I cant read or write or
count correctly. From now on I learn and discover more things that help me when I was
in elementary. I thank my mother because she guided and helped me in my education.
Before I started schooling my mother already knew that I am ready to face the
challenges in the field of education.
Daycare, kindergarten, grades 1-3, these are the best school years for me.
When I was in grade 4, I remember an incident that affects me as a pupil. I have a
terror adviser. When she conducted an oral recitation, she wants us to answer her
question correctly because when we do not know the answer the whole class will have
her punishment. One time she called me and I answered her correctly but there is one
word that I pronounced wrong in front which is the word island, I pronounce it as island not silent /d/. When she heard that word she shouted it out the correct
pronunciation near in my ear. I was shocked, embarrassed, ashamed and I cried because
this is the first time that a teacher got angry because of me.
From now on I dont have the confidence and Im afraid in reciting and
participating in class even though I know the correct answer because I dont want to
experienced the same situation that I encountered when I was in grade 4.
As a future teacher I dont want my future pupils to experience that such

that
she uses her exams as a form of punishment. When we do not meet the score that she set,
the pupils will go outside and will roam around and get some piece of dirt and the worst is that he
or she will be humiliated and they will be punished and the next thing is that she will hit you with
her thick stick. And every time we were going to school we always see to it that we are always
ready for the exams to be given by our terror teacher
Because of this experience, I promised to myself that I will never do the same as what my
teacher did to us for me to be able to have a good relationship to my pupils. Having the situation
like this, the pupils will be able to participate well in the discussion because they do not feel any
harm or discomfort between the teacher and pupils.
When I was in grade 3, our principal came in our classroom to teach Math subject because
at that time, our adviser is not around. When our principal call a student which is girl, one of my
classmate who answer the math problem on the board. My classmate doesnt know how to solve it so
our principal became angry to her and ask her why she doesnt know the answer. My classmate did not
response so our principal hit her bamboo stick. All of us got afraid to that action of our principal. My
classmate cried and no one of us made a noise at that time. Because of that, our classmate became shy
and she is very quiet inside our room.
At that time, I became afraid to our principal because I thought that he was kind but the
truth is he is a terror principal for me. I focused on our every lesson so that if ever I call by our principal
if he teach us again, I can answer the problem because I dont want to experience what my classmate
did.
When I was in high school, I remember an incident that my teachers violated some of the
principles of assessment. The principle of assessment that was violated is the giving of positive
feedback along with not so good ones.
Giving of positive feedbacks is not only for the good ones but also for the not good
ones, so that they would be motivated to study well. This principle of assessment that was
violated affects out performance inside the classroom. And instead of giving positive feedback,
our teachers give negative feedback which affects our self confidence or self esteem. I feel that
our teachers are favoring only those good ones in our classroom. And I also feel that there is
discrimination inside the classroom which leads their students not to enter their class regularly.
Whenever there is recitation, Im afraid to raise my hand because I might not get the right answer
and my teacher gives a negative feedback. Learning is ultimately the individuals responsibility.
Learning will not succeed unless individual feels a strong sense of ownership and responsibility in
the process itself.
The incident when these principles were violated I remember is when I am in elementary
and high school, the first violated principle is the: Give some positive feedback along with not so
good ones, our teacher that time keeps on saying negative feedback to my classmate that cannot
answer and also hurt my classmate, and because of that my classmate lose confidence to recite and
participate in the class discussion because he thinks that he cannot answer correctly to our teacher.
The next violated principle is the: Assessment of learning should never be used as
punishment nor as disciplinary measure, our teacher that time got mad on us because we did not
clean well the classroom, and when we are all inside the room, our teacher said that we will have an
exam because we did not clean well the room, and because of that incident, my classmates are
always studying their notes because they are afraid if our teacher will give again a exam and also
they are pressured to clean very well the room and also the surrounding of our room.
Yes, I remember that when I was in elementary, the principle that was violated by
my English teacher is Give some positive feedback along with not so good ones, instead
she gives negative. Nobody is exempted even if you are bright or not so good, she calls you
idiot or moron publicly especially if you didnt answer her question or if she doesnt like your
answer/output. She gives also punishment maybe because shes a brilliant teacher or a
perfectionist. This affect our self confidence especially with me because I dont have the
guts to raise my hand even if I know the answer, just because I dont want to put into
shame before; but as I grew up and became matured enough to understand I take it
positively.
For me, it is wise to give some positive feedback as well as constructive criticisms.
Praising the students on a job well done can boost morale to study and appreciate the value
of success, furthermore, giving some constructive criticisms on the areas they need to
improved. As a student the criticism that we received just take it positively, because the
biggest room in the world is the room for improvement and improvement means success.

MY ANALYSIS
1. What assessment method/s did I observe to be most often used? Least often used? What could
explain such observation?
As I observe in the discussion I notice that the teacher uses most in the oral questioning
method which is very good because by this method the pupils have the chance to
participate during the discussions. Another is the performance test, she uses crossword as
her activity to catch the attention of the pupils in her discussions.
Oral questioning is the method which is often used and is very essential inside the classroom for
the teacher to know if his or her students are really learned from them and so the interaction
inside the classroom is always active.
The assessment method that I observed to be most often used is the exams or tests. I think there is no
assessment method that is least often used because the teacher uses all the assessment method properly
so that she can asses well the students and to know if they are really learning.
o
Performance based assessment were the most of the used strategy of the teacher in assessing
their students because their students were trained to learned and be independent in learning
new ideas and skills. Another is that oral questioning, in which the students think on their own
on what their teacher was asking to them and develop their critical thinking skills.
2. If I were to re-teach the same lesson would I assess learning in the same way as my Resource
Teacher s did? Explain.
If I were to re- tech the same lesson, I will assess learning assessment strategy in
the same way as my Resource Teacher did. It is because the strategies and
technique she uses in the class are applicable and suitable to her pupils. As I
observed, every time she discusses a lesson, she make sure that each of her pupil
must understand the topic. My Resource Teacher uses an appropriate and variety of
assessment tool and it is correlated and based on her aims and objective.
Yes, because as Ive observed in the discussions I noticed that the lessons were properly
executed and the pupils were really participating in the discussion. This only means that the
method used by the teacher really helps a lot.
Maybe not all of the strategy of my resource teacher I will use because I should also allow my
students to answer some questions on the board so that they can motivate to participate in every
lesson that I would teach. I would also ask them to ask me a question if ever they dont understand
anything about my lesson so that I can give them the right learning. I also believe that the learning is
not only acquired by the students from their teacher because they have their own choice what to
learn and what to learn.
If I were to re-teach the same lesson, I will also asses learning in the same way as my resource teacher did
because as I can observe the teacher asses the students very well and maybe I can also do that but if I can
find another way to assess the learning of the learning of the students I can also do that also so that I can
assess students in other way.
o For me, I will assess the same way as what my resource teacher did, because it was a
successful assessment to the pupils because they were all participative and contributing
to the assessment process given by the resource teacher in which it helps a lot both on
the pupils and the teacher.
3. Which of the assessment methods are categorized as traditional assessment? Which ones are
classified as authentic assessment?
I think the assessment method such as performance test, product and the oral questioning
and other will fall under the authentic assessment and the written response will fall under
the traditional assessment because it focus on the traditional paper and pencil method of the
teachers assessment.
Multiple choice, true or false, matching, short answer, and completion test are methods that are
categorized as traditional assessment while product rating scale, performance tests, performance
checklist, oral questioning and observation and self report are categorized as authentic assessment.
The assessment methods that are categorized as traditional assessments are the multiple choice
exam, fill in the blanks, short quizzes, and short answers. And the group work or activities and
the reading activities are considered to be the authentic assessment.
o
The written response will fall under the traditional assessment because it focus on the
traditional paper and pencil method of the teachers assessment. While the
performance test, product test, and oral questioning and other can be categorized
under the authentic assessment.
Traditional assessments are those test and examination which requires only the
thinking skills of the pupils. It is a written examination while authentic assessments
are being performed or a performance examination.
In the Traditional model, the curriculum drives assessment. "The" body of knowledge is
determined first. That knowledge becomes the curriculum that is delivered. In the Authentic
model, assessment drives the curriculum. That is, teachers first determine the tasks that
students will perform to demonstrate their mastery, and then a curriculum is developed that
will enable students to perform those tasks well, which would include the acquisition of
essential knowledge and skills. This is "backwards design. But a teacher does not have to
choose between the two assessment because it is her to do the task on how he/she will find
it easy in assessing the students performance.
Traditional assessment uses materials in teaching such as visual aid and also written in the board
while delivering the lesson is also in traditional assessment. Authentic assessment uses
technology by the teacher as their partner in teaching. It made the work of the teacher faster,
reliable and easier so that the lesson is clear for the students from beginning to the end of class
discussion.
Traditional assessments are the types of assessments that people most often think of when they hear the
word "test" or "exam while the authentic assessment refers to assessment tasks that resemble reading
and writing in the real world and in school. The only difference of the two is that in traditional it more
on written assessments while in authentic it includes also the reading assessments.
o
people most often think of when they hear the word "test" or "exam." The most
common form of a traditional assessment is a multiple choice test.
MY REFLECTIONS
1. Is there such a thing as best assessment method or an assessment method that is appropriate
for all types of learning?
Assessment tools are really helpful for the teachers for them to be able to know if their
learners really learn during the discussions. The teacher needs to set s9ome assessment tools
so that he or she would be able to have an access to the learners situation or for even
helping them in their weaknesses. When the pupils are assessed, the result may or may not
be as what the teachers would expect because sometimes the result of the assessment may
be very low or high. When the teacher has this certain situation, he or she should see to it
that she would be able to help the pupil to learn or understand well the given lessons.
For me, there is no such thing as assessment that could fit to all lessons or subjects that the
teacher would deliver because one method would not necessarily mean that it would be able
to use all the methods in one aspect. I think it is the teachers choice of what method he or
she will use, by this they could easily know what assessment tool would they know.
For me, all of the assessment method is the appropriate for all types of learning because theres no
such thing as one method that can fit for all. Every teacher has their own way of teaching. They
have their own strategy in delivering their lesson as long as their students are really learned from
them. All of these methods are present inside the classroom so that the interaction between the
teacher and the students is active and the learning is totally acquired by the students.
All assessment method is also important for the teacher because he/she will not only rely in one
method because if he/she did, the discussion became boring, the students will not enjoy their lesson
and worst is they dont learned anything. It is better to have all this method because if you teach
some lesson and you want to teach them in creative way, you can shift to other method where you
think that your students became interested. If you know all these assessment method, it is easy for
you to deliver a lesson for sure as long as you really know the topic that you will give to your
students.
Assessment is a very important thing that is used in education, it used by the teachers to
determine if the lesson they have presented is well transferred or learned by the students, it is
also very important because through assessment you can measure the understanding of a
learner and how they get ideas to the lessons or topics that are presented.
As a reflection, maybe all the assessment method or assessment tools can be best used to assess
the learning of the students but it may depend on how it is going to be used by the teacher and
how he or she may use it to be an effective way in assessing the learning of the students. All of
the assessment tools and methods are important as long as it may help the teachers in assessing
the learning of the students it must be all well used by the teachers because it is a very
important thing especially in the field of education.
The teacher and the students can help each other to have a very god relationship inside the
school and if that happens it can lead to a better learning and understanding especially to the
students and the teachers may do all his or her best to teach the students very well.
o For me there is no such thing as best assessment method for all types of learning because
assessment should be targeted towards different learning styles of students. For example,
some students may be great or good in theoretical or knowledge based questions; whereas
other may be better at showing that they understand something through practical means
like creating something.
It is a must for every teacher to use an appropriate and variety of assessment tool in
his/her class. And must be correlated and based on the aims and objectives. The teacher
has a wide variety of assessment tools to measure learning outcomes. Teacher should
give the equal opportunity for the students to interact in the classroom in terms of
academic performance. A teacher must give equal chance for the students to express their
selves in the classroom.
