Grade/Year Level: _________ Subject Area:__________ Date:_________

OBSERVE

I will observe one Resource Teacher with the use of observation sheet. Using the guide
questions, I shall reflect on my observation and analysis.
Teacher-centered Student-centered
Did the teacher lecture all the time? Were the students involve in the teaching-
learning process? How? Or were they mere
passive recipients of instruction?

Was the emphasis on the mastery of lesson Was the emphasis on the students’
or on the test? Prove. application of the lesson in real-life? Give
proofs.

Was class atmosphere competitive? Why? Was class atmosphere collaborative? Why?

Did teacher only focus only on one Did teacher connect the lesson to other
discipline/subject? disciplines/subjects?

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:


a) Constructivist – connected to past experiences of learners; learners constructed
new lesson meanings

b) Inquiry based

c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of


children
d) Reflective

e) Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.

f) Collaborative – Students worked together.

g) Integrative – Lesson was multidisciplinary - e.g. Science, Math concepts were


taught.

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:


 Demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of self-assessment; and
 Explain the importance of self-assessment.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


 Assessment as Learning means assessment in a way of learning.
 It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor their own
learning.
 This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make necessary
adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
 Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning.
 It requires students to ask questions about their learning.
 It provides ways for understanding the next steps in learning.
 It encourages self-assessment and reflection.

OBSERVE

Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning. Record your
observation.
Teacher My Observation
1. Did the teacher provide
opportunities for the learners to
monitor and reflect on their own
learning?

2. What are proofs that students


were engaged in self-reflection,
self-monitoring, and self-
adjustment?
3. Did students record and
report their own learning?

4. Did teacher create criteria


with the students for the tasks
to be completed or skill to
learned?

ACTIVITY 13.2 Observing the Use of Traditional Assessment Tools


Resource teacher:___________ Teacher's signature:____________ School:__________
Grade/year level:____________ Subject/area:______________ Date:_______________

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Critique traditional assessment tools and tasks for learning in the context of established
guidelines guidelines on test construction.

REVISIT The Learning Essential

 Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.


 Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain.
 Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-response tests or
constructed-response/supply type of tests.
 Common examples of selected response tests are alternate response test (True-False, yes-
no), multiple choice and matching type of test.
 Common examples of constructed-response type of test are short answer, problem solving
and essay.

OBSERVE

 Observe classes and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the teacher.
 With teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.

Direction: Put a check(/) on the test which teacher used. From your teacher's test items, give an
example.

ACTIVITY 13.3 Observing the Use of Non-traditional Assessment Tools


Resource teacher:___________ Teacher's signature:____________ School:__________
Grade/year level:____________ Subject/area:______________ Date:_______________

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Evaluate non - traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics.

REVISIT The Learning Essential

 There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools.
 Authentic / non - traditional / alternative assessment tools measure learning outcomes like
performance and product .
 These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric .
 A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student's work that includes descriptions of levels of
performance quality on the criteria . ( Brookhart , 2013 )
 The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products .
 There are two types of rubrics - analytic and holistic . Analytic rubrics describe work on each
criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole . For
diagnostic purposes , the analytic rubric is more appropriate .
 For a holistic view of a product or performance , the holistic rubric will do .
 A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated
, the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance .

OBSERVE

 Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the
assessment tool used by the teacher .
 With teacher's permission , secure a copy of the assessment tool .
 Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet .

ACTIVITY 13.4 Scrutinizing the Types and Parts of a Portfolio


Resource teacher:___________ Teacher's signature:____________ School:__________
Grade/year level:____________ Subject/area:______________ Date:_______________
TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Evaluate a sample portfolio


 Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio

DISCOVER The Learning Essential

 A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work


accompanied by clear criteria for performance which prove student effort , progress or
achievement in a given area or course .
 A portfolio of student's work is a direct evidence of learning . But it is not a mere collection of
student's work . The student's reflection must accompany each output or work .
 A portfolio is different from a work folder , which is simply a receptacle for all work , with no
purpose to the collection . A portfolio is an intentional collection of work guided by learning
objectives .
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized a clear picture of the student skills to be
addressed , student involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio , use of criteria to
define quality performance as a basis for communication , and self - reflection through which
students share what they think and feel about their work , their learning and about
themselves .
 There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose . They are : 1 ) development or
growth portfolio , 2 ) best work or showcase or display portfolio , and 3 ) assessment /
evaluation portfolio .

OBSERVE

1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio from what you examined, if any . If there are,
select one best portfolio from what you examined.
2. If none , research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts .
3. Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher / researched by you , accomplish
Observation Sheet #
4. Put a check in the right column .

What a Portfolio Includes

Elements of a Portfolio Present? Missing?


1. Clear objectives - The objectives of the
lesson/unit/course are clear which serve as as
bases for selection.
2. Explicit guidelines for selection What, when,
where, how are products/documented
performances selected?
3. Comprehensible criteria- the criteria against
which the portfolio is graded must be understood
by the learners
4. Selective significant pieces - Ihe portfolio
includes only the selected significant materials.
5. Student's reflection - There is evidence that
students reflected on their learning.
6. Evidence of student participation in selection
of content of potfolio -There is proof that
students took part in the selection of the content
of the portfolio.
ANALYZE

1. With OBE in mind, which should be the basis for the selection of pieces of evidence to show that
what the student was supposed to learn was learned?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio. Based on the parts, under which type of portfolio does
this fall?

Elements of a Portfolio (Which type of portfolio?)


1. Covêr Letter- "About the Author and "What My Portfolio Shows About My Progress
as a Learner
2. Table of Contents with numbered pages
3 Entries-both core (required items) and optional items (chosen by students).
4. Dates on all entries to facilitate proof of growth over time.
5. Drafts of aural/oral and written products and revised revisions, i.e. (first drafts and
corrected/revised versions.)
6. Student's Reflections

3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?
