NOTES ON MY PRODUCT-ORINTED 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 product-oriented performance assessment design?
ð It is depend on the output of the students because its graded using a criteria base reference or a rubric to avoid biases and discrimination
What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product-oriented performance assessment design?
ð My product-oriented performance assessment design achieves my learning objectives. It is valid and reliable because it has criterion in judging the outcomes of the activity.


What basic points should the user of this design consider?
ð The creativity and uniqueness of the product.
ð The reason why they choose a specific image to be their product that represents the importance of light.
ð  The color of the picture to be inserted must fit to the product.


ANALYSIS:

1. Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?

=> As you can see, the design product-oriented performance assessment that I made is parallel to my teacher’s learning objective. It can provide other sources of information about the attainment of learning outcomes.

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

               => It is important to give attention to the student’s product tasks, to come-up with a better and presentable product. Teacher’s need to assess the students performances, to measure their abilities and to know if their totally understand the process given to them by their teacher.


3. In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?

        =>  When teachers give instruction clearly that be able students to perform various task and finished it at exactly time.
 => When teacher are more concern in the outcomes or product finished by their students.





REFLECTION:

Write your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights or new understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment. Then share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates. Also draw some insights from your classmates’ sharing.
   
After answering all the questions in this field study I realized that as a future teacher we should be more observant and give more attention to our pupils/students because all of them have a different characteristics and capabilities that we should enhance through the use of different methods, strategies and assessment tools. Also, after answering this field study I understand how a teacher should be in dealing his/her pupils. And through this I have learned many things that I can use when I am already in the field of teaching. That in giving assessment is a task that we need to think and examine carefully and we should base it on the learners and the learning objectives for it to be successfully done.

          As an observant, I learned that authentic assessment is asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills, through these assessment learners will actively participate because of the appropriateness and attainess of the topic itself. It helps students to explore and work as a group or individually, for them to develop their domains (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor).
          This subject is very helpful to us, as a future educator. It gives us lot of experiences and new knowledge that will use in our future needs. This assessment will be my basis and my way to evaluate every student that will be under in my supervision because it makes easier for me to monitor the achievements of every learner’s.
