EPISODE 4:

WORK ME ON

Name of FS Student:      Joanamae A. Telan Course:                                BSE 3A                                                                                    Resource Teacher:          Mrs. Lorna Obedoza Cooperating School:      Isabela National High School

MY TARGET

            At the end of this activity, you will be skillful in designing process – oriented performance assessment.

MY TASK

            After your observation experience you now have a deeply and principled understanding of the concepts of authentic assessment used in the classroom. You can now go through the process of designing performance assessment by the following these steps:

1.     Visit a class and identify performance-based activities.

2.     Choose one performance-based activity and study its process.

3.     Design a performance assessment plan for the activity you have chosen.

4.     Collect samples of performance-based assessment tools.

5.     Reflect on your experience.

MY TOOLS

          In observing a class, take note of important observations of the performance-based activity in the classroom. Make a checklist of the important things you want to consider in your assessment planning. Use the activity form provided for you. You may use format of process-oriented assessment that you have taken in your assessment 2 classes. The rubrics are part and parcel of this assessment plan.

OBSERVATION NOTES

Name of the School Observed: Isabela National High School School Address: Claravall St. Centro Ilagan City Date Visited: February10, 2015 Grade/Year Level: Grade 8 SPA-Aquino Subject Area: Science

Describe in bullets the performance-based activity you observe. Ø  The students will draw the Human Digestive System with a model/label. Ø  The students will color their drawing according to the exact color in the picture. Ø  After the drawing, the student will present and discuss it on the class.

Based on your observation, make a checklist of the important things you wish to consider in your performance-based assessment plan.

NEATNESS The poster is presentable, well-prepared and well-ordered.

NOTES ON MY PROCESS-ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN

What are the best features of my process-oriented performance assessment design?         The best feature of my process-oriented performance assessment design is that, we will be able to know and have an idea of what skills/abilities does the learners can do through the use of process-oriented performance. Through this, it will measure and able to see how the learner works on the given task.

What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my process-oriented performance assessment design?         The use of my process-oriented performance assessment would be successful if that assessment really suits in the level of the target learner.

What basic points should the user of this design consider?              These are the basic points that a user should consider: Ø  Is it educational or not? Ø  Is the assessment valid, accurate and relevant? Ø  Is the assessment useful in the learning process of the students or not?

ANALYSIS   

1.      Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?

Teachers really need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented task to monitor the ability and behaviour or the performance of the learners in a particular subject matter for them to know which part the learner is capable of and which part does the learner is weak.

                   

2.      In what conditions can the process-oriented performance assessment be used appropriately?

            The condition that the process-oriented performance assessment be used appropriately is that when the teacher is going to test the students’ level of capability and to know which part they are more interested.  

                                                                                   

  

Reflection

Make reflections on your feelings and thoughts about the observations made in this FS.  

      In making this part of my field study, I realized that being a teacher is not really an easy job/task. In a reason that teacher must need to look and search for an appropriate assessment for his/her students that will gain and learned from them. You have to make sure that all of the instructional decision you’ll made is appropriate for the learning needs of each students.

      As a future teacher, we should be more observant and give more attention to our students because all of them have different characteristics and capabilities that we should enhance through the use of different methods, strategies and assessment tools which will be able to produce knowledge that is applicable for them in real-life situation.
