Teacher’s Learning Objectives:
At the end of the
lesson, the students will be able to:
1.
Define sub-atomic particles.
2.
Describe the important properties of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
3.
Calculate the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in any atom.

|
Desired conditions and criterion
levels of the learning objectives:
The learning
objective is important to teachers because the purpose of it is to assist
them to identify the focus of their subject matter and assessment. For a
teacher, it is necessary to teach directly the lesson to the students. She
must have a guide so that she can be managing well the discussion and the
students are easily coping up. When assessing them, make sure that a certain
activity is always suited to the learning objective and subject matter. This
will help the students improve their learning skills connected to real-life
situation.

|
Other notes:
Based on my
observation, I learned that when making a learning objective we must put in
mind that the learning objectives are always congruent to the skills and
content so that it could be observed through the behavior of the learners if
it is learned or not. Also, the assessment should be linked in the learning
objectives. With this, we can achieve a high-quality assessment.

1.
Do you think the teacher’s learning objectives
was appropriately assessed by your test items?
The teacher’s learning objectives were appropriately assessed by
the test items because there was a congruence between the learning objectives
and assessment tool that is used. I can confidently say that all of the
learning objectives were achieved not only in the learning process but also in
the assessment and evaluation. In constructing test items, it must follow the
guidelines and tips of principles of high-quality assessment in order for the
test items to have a validity, reliability, fairness, practicality and efficiency.
2.
Why do you have to study the teacher’s
learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool?
It is very much needed to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior
to developing an assessment tool for it will serve as a guide as to what assessment
tool that is appropriate and should be used as the strategy for the
presentation and discussion for a good interaction and in order to have
relevance. The assessment tool to be used must always be consistent to the
learning objectives because they are always related to each other in terms of
improving the learning outcomes. Through this, we can determine if the learning
objectives are achieved or not and we can have a basis or standards for the
revision of the instruction if it is not achieved.
Write your
personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace Concept on Focus.
Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
Assessment is a
way to evaluate the understanding and learning of the students. It should be
used in a fair, appropriate, valid and reliable in order to have a high-quality
assessment.
Peace concept
means the teacher must have the attitude of being fair or have the concept of
fairness. Fairness which means it is needed to be equal in dealing the students
at all time. Like, in giving compliment and feedback to them and also in making
assessment tool. The assessment to be used must always be appropriate to the
level of the learners and of course with the lesson to be discussed on the
subject matter. It makes student capable
of passing the test because everything on the test are already learned and the
checking of the test must have a criteria especially if it is an authentic test
to give the students ideas on how to improve the learning on the next time
around and there is reflection because of the criteria. It is a must that the
output of the assessment will be known in order to know if they understood the
lesson or not. The appropriateness of assessment tool with regards to the
leaning objectives will bring relevance and good learning outcomes. The
validity of the assessment tool talks about the purpose of the test. A reliable
test would show similar performance at different conditions.
To be concluding,
we must be skilful in designing a test and interpreting results of objective
test so as to achieve a high-quality assessment.
