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

Your Map
Designing and using assessment tools sounds interesting especially if you
know their curricular intensions. Take calculated strides in pursuing this interesting
task through these stages.
Step 5: Analyze and interpret the
data obtained from it focusing on
target competency.
Step 4: Conduct the pen-and-paper test
in a class
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.

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

Teachers Learning Objectives:

At the end of the lesson, the students shall be able to:

a. define the unit circle and the circular functions of in any quadrant in terms of
x, y and r.
b. find the circular functions of with respect to the unit circle.
c. graph the unit circle.

Desired conditions and criterion levels of the learning objectives:

The learning objectives set by the teacher guides the flow of the discussion
and the way she executes the method of assessment. It serves as a guideline
upon conducting an activity for a better understanding of the topic. The
students were able to understand the lesson as the teacher lets them use
their skills in analysis and perform it with themselves as the discussion goes
on providing supplementation when needed.

Other notes:

It is important to use appropriate methods and strategies that would help

achieve effectively the supposed learning outcome. To make the learning
more progressive, the teacher must let the students work with themselves to
see how well they apply what they have acquired during the discussion.

DESIGNING PEN-AND-PAPER TEST

To help you prepare your pen-and-paper test which you will soon administer
in the class you have observed, please remember to:
1. Make a two-way table of Specification. Make sure that you focus on the
current subject matter of the class you observed, and that you target the
higher levels of learning behaviours. Please adopt the TOS format prescribed
by the school where you do your class observation. If the school has TOS
templates, ask permission to use it.
2. Show your TOS to your FS teacher, then to the classroom teacher. Get
their comments and suggestions and improve your TOS.
3. With approved TOS, formulate your test items. Write each test item in an
index card, indicating the subject matter and the desired level of learning
behavior to be assessed, among others. (Please use pencil in writing your
test items to economize the use of index cards).
4. Make an Item Bank by organizing the index cards containing your test
items. Show it to your classmates for their comments and suggestions, show
to your FS teacher for checking, and finally, to the classroom teacher.
5. Prepare a test paper of the finalized items.
6. Get the classroom teacher's permission to administer the test.
7. Administer the test to the class for which the test is designed. Then, check
the papers and record students' scores.
8. Do an item analysis and make inferences out of the result.
9. Indicate the item analysis results of each item on the index card where
you wrote the item.

Your Analysis
Do you think the teachers learning objectives was
appropriately assessed by your test items?
Yes, I think the teachers learning objectives was appropriately
assessed by the test items. The test items were constructed based on their
discussion about the unit circle and the circular functions.
Why do you have to study the teachers learning objectives
prior to developing an assessment tool?
Studying the teachers learning objectives prior to developing an
assessment tool is of utmost importance. Since assessment tools check the
understanding of students, we need to make sure that the assessment tool
being used is connected to the teachers prepared set of objectives. We can
only say that the learning outcome is validly assessed if the assessment
measures what it intends to measure. The alignment of the learning
objectives with the assessment tool assures the accuracy of the assessment
used.

Your Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings
regarding Peace Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your
FS teacher and classmates.
Learning is an active process which requires the learner to work with and
apply what they have acquired to their everyday life with the teacher playing
the major role as information deliverer and environment controller.
A classroom that is free from distractions and is well-managed by the
teacher-in-charge can create an environment that is conducive to learning. It
promotes focus and interest which can encourage students to perform well
inside the classroom.

A students performance depends on the environment that he/shes

working on. Improvement in performance will be visible if the teacher can
successfully create a healthy psychological climate in learning and a
peaceful classroom atmosphere. There is mutual respect and better
understanding of the diverse learners in the teaching-learning process
resulting for a more effective learning outcome.

The teacher will be able to choose the most appropriate and effective
methods and strategies in teaching and assessing the learner in the learning
process when theres peace concept on focus.
