CASE ANALYSIS: Ms.

Maria Jane Castillo was assigned to teach in a remote barrio up in the mountains of Agusan del Sur. She was assigned to teach English for high school students. Her class consisted of 25 male 30 female students coming from different elementary schools in the municipality of Bayugan. Within the first month of her teaching in the barrio, she noted that male students tended to be absent every Monday and Friday. This phenomenon caused the performance of male students in the graded English test to be lower than the female students:

1. Where the difference in the English scores of male and female students

attributable to differences in mental abilities?

Yes, the difference in the English scores of male and female students attributable to variation in mental abilities because male students dont impose further deliberation on their subject matter thats why they have low routine.

2. To which would you attribute this difference?

I would attribute these differences to the strategies that Ms. Castillo used; maybe she used the same strategy throughout her discussion. She disregard the individual diversity between her students while male students did not perform well in there subject matter.

3. If you were Ms. Castillo, what would you do?

If I were Ms. Castillo, I will conduct an individual evaluation headed for my student, so that I can distinguish their strength and weakness. To be competent to discern what kind of approach Im going to use in teaching.

I.

What are the facts?

The fact is, those students have individual diversity that the teacher should recognize or evaluate in order for the students to facilitate toward achieving knowledge and understanding about their lesson.

II.

Who are the people involved?

The person involved in the issue were the students, teacher simultaneously parents.

III.

What are the valued dilemmas?

The valued dilemma is that teacher, are called not merely to instruct student in their subject although this is the crucial chore. We all know that the teachers are the second parents of the students and that teacher should impose good authority.

IV.

What are the alternatives?

The best alternative is to use the four basic evaluation techniques that are suitable for and frequently used in the classroom.

1. Placement evaluation helps to determine student placement or categorization before instruction begins. 2. Diagnostic evaluation is a means of discovering and monitoring learning difficulties. 3. Formative evaluation monitors progress. 4. Summative evaluation measures the products of instruction.
