Ms. Jimenez suspected that one of her pupils
has limited reading skills. To help the
learner, she needed to identify the specific
areas with which the child struggles. Is the
child impaired in one or more of the
following components: phonemic awareness,
phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and
comprehension? To answer her questions,
she gave the learner an assessment. Upon
ascertaining that the child has difficulty in
phonics, the teacher thought of using an
analogic approach to teach phonics.

INTERVIEW GUIDE

I. PRELIMINARY QUESTIONS

1. What is your name? Reann Vee Condes - Gragasin

2. How long have you been teaching? 7 years in private and 2 years in public , 9 years and counting.

3. What subjects are you teaching? In the private school I experienced teaching: English, Values
education, Aral Pan, MAPEH and TLE but today I teach pure values education from grades 7 to 9.
4. What classes are you handling this school year? Values Education from grades 7 to 9.

II. GUIDE QUESTIONS

1. How do you gather information about students in terms of their knowledge, skills, and

values? What assessment tools do you use? By knowing their personal background and by asking
their ideas, testing their multiple intelligent by MI test questions, observing how they react or do in
class activities and most importantly do assessments. Cooperative learning methods activities,
identification test, solving problem, essay, multiple choices. I also use SMART for weighing skills
and understanding about the topic.

2. When do you conduct assessments? Sometimes before and during the class but most of the time
after the lesson.

3. How do you utilize the information in your profession? I make it as my guide in making y lesson
plans, use the most effective methods in teaching and reaching the students hearts and let them
enjoy it. I think that will be the most effective way of having assessment. Since I wanted them to not
just know what that lesson means but why and how they will apply it to practical life situations.

4. How does assessment help you become a more effective teacher? It measures what, how and why
they learned the lessons. That really matters to us teachers and somehow it measures how our
methods of teaching become effective or ineffective to them.
