5. Observation and self reports
1. Which assessment method/s did I observe to be most often used? Least often
used? What could explain such observation?
Base on our observation regarding on how the teacher assess her students, she
used mostly on performance tests. Learners did a lot of activities base on their
lesson on meter reading. At first, the teacher just asked a few questions merely
definition and then suddenly after a little discussion they engage themselves in
doing group activities. On the other hand, the least assess method used by the
teacher is on the part of written response instrument, she just only manifest giving a
simple test to her pupils just before the end of doing all activities. But by through
examining the assessment method used, cooperative learning is really an emblem
for a better understanding to the learners because they learn a lot if they engage
themselves more on doing rather than in writing.
2. If I were to re-teach the same lesson would I assess learning in the same way
as my Resource Teachers did? Explain?

Base on my point of view, I think that there’s no such thing as best method of
assessment on the ground that all types of assessment method has its own functions
and own characteristics. In one thing to another they are different, there’s specific
or appropriate when to use the assessment method. For example if there’s only a
limited time left then you’ll make use of true-false type, not the multiple choice or
even completion test because as we all know it needs a lot of time to answer on
that particular case. Second, in every method there’s intended purpose which
means you only input that kind of method if it is really suitable for your subject
matter. Third, as a future teacher you may use alternative assessment methods but
it must complement always to your goals and objectives. Thus, for preparing an
assessment method it must complement to the learning objectives, but make sure
that the assessment method to be used is appropriate to its functions so that you
will able to evaluate immediately the scores of the learners.
