\ EPISODE 4

WORK ME ON

Name of FS Student:    Jomari G. Rodriguez Course:               Bachelor of Secondary Education Resource Teacher:       Mrs.Marie Rose Ramos 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.

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 class. 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., San Vicente, Ilagan, Isabela    Date Visited:                                   February 17, 2015    Grade/Year Level:                          4th Year-Cattleya    Subject Area:                                 Science (Research)

Describe in bullets the performance-based activity you observe.                  *The instruction given by the teacher is clearly understand by                     the students.           *The instructions follow an orderly sequence.           *the teacher facilitates the learners while doing their activity.

 

       

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

MY CHECKLIST ·         In making a Laboratory Activity, I wish to add the following considerations in assessing the performance of the students -          The students must make their activity clean. -          All members in the group must cooperate. -          Use the laboratory apparatus in a proper way. -          Using a write-up, students must write a detailed and well explained observation in their activity.

Notes On My Process-Oriented Assessment Plan

Name of the School Observed:   Isabela National High School        School Address:                            Claravall St., San Vicente, Ilagan, Isabela        Date Visited:                                   February 17, 2015        Grade/Year Level:                          4th Year-Cattleya         Subject Area:                                 Science (Research)

What are the best features of my process-oriented performance assessment design? -          The students can know the importance and uses of apparatus in their activity. -          The design is used to protect every student from harmful substances that present in their activity. -          The students can used their critical and practical abilities in making their task.

What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my process-oriented performance assessment design? -          The materials use must be harmless and safe to use. -          The place where students perform their activity must be conducive. -          The materials use in the task must be available.

What basic points should the user of this design consider?      The user must use a scoring rubric’s in order to assess well the learners. -          The cleanliness in making the activity. -          The experiment must finish at the exact time. -          The cooperation of the group.

ANALYSIS:

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

            The students can’t perform the task without any process given by the teacher because it stands as a basis for them in making their tasks.

            Teachers need to assess their learners to know if their students can follow and understand the process that they give. Process-oriented based is used to test student’s ability in performing a task.

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

            Process-oriented performance assessment can be used appropriately in certain activities such as:

1.      Baking, handicraft, computer, sewing etc, in TLE.

2.      Laboratory, research works in Science.

3.      Problem solving in Mathematics.

REFLECTION:

      As a future educator, I would try my very best to follow the procedures and strategies used by my resource teacher. I want to teach the skills of critical and creative thinking to my students by the use of my performance objectives.

        This assessment tools that I learned in this subject gives me knowledge that I may use in the future, it will be may basis that I want to apply to let my students work independently and to let them explore, to learn various situations happens in real-life that helps them to boost their creative minds.
