ACTIVITY 9.1 Demonstrating an Understanding of Research-Based Knowledge Principles

of Teaching and Learning.

OBSERVE

Observe a class with the use of principles of learning given in Revisit the Learning
Essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the principles of learning. I
can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.

grading and can be added to their
grades.

ANALYZE

1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?


Most Applied
 The most widely used principle is that learning is the discovery
of
concepts' personal significance and applicability. The teacher is demonstrating how
children can get along so that they may see and experience it.
Least Applied

 Setting clear and high expectations for learning outcomes is


where effective learning starts. The fact that we are late entering
the classroom may be the reason why I find this to be least
applicable, but the discussion and subject-change flow are both
quite fluid. .
Give instances where this/these principles could have been applied?
 The teacher completed the majority of the assignments in class. This
contrasts sharply with a teacher who serves largely as a resource for
students' learning whereas the students are the ones who provide thoughts
on a certain subject. The majority of the time whenever the teacher asks a
question, the student responds by providing an example that is related to
their response.

REFLECT
From among principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
 The process of learning as an outcome is the most significant to me since it
is the engaging portion of discussion where students interact with you and
their classmates. They can learn from you, and you can teach them. You can
also pick up knowledge from your pupil. With this learning concept, students
can act while simultaneously being conscious of what they're doing.

ACTIVITY 9.2

Identifying Learning Outcomes that are Aligned with Learning Competencies

Resource Teacher: ___________________Teacher’s Signature: ___________ School: _____________


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

OBSERVE

Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated.
Determine if the learning outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.

1. What are the learning outcomes stated in the lesson?

Reflect on the…
Lessons learned in determining SMART learning outcomes

 SMART learning objectives should be relevant to our everyday lives, easily


accessible, and substantial. Nothing would make sense if you were to merely
educate without also examining your own work.

subject.
What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:
a) Constructivist – connected to past experiences of learners; learners constructed
new lesson meanings
 The example in every lesson used a real-life situation for the students to related on.
b) Inquiry based
 They ask a lot of questions.
c) Developmentally appropriate – learning activities fit the developmental stage of
children
 The teacher's assigned activities should fit the students' developmental stage.
d)Reflective
 They learn by relating the lesson in real-life situation.
e)Inclusive – No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.
 The teacher assigns each student their own work and checks it individually.
f)Collaborative – Students worked together.
 The students are brainstorming to collate their ideas.
g)Integrative – Lesson was multidisciplinary - e.g. Science, Math concepts were
taught.
 The students try to apply their lesson or topic to a different area of expertise.

ANALYZE

1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery and
for the test?
 It might be interesting to certain students, especially those who do well in
class, but it might not be interesting to others, especially slow learners. I
think low achievers want a twist to make them understand the lesson.
2. If you were to reteach the classes you observed, would you teacher-centered or
student-centered? Why?
 If I had been to teach the class again, I might put an emphasis on the
students' understanding, participation, and growth in critical thinking.
Because classes shouldn't really be boring to today's pupils. Instead, they
won't pay attention or, worse still, they'll fall asleep, which will demonstrate
that you're not worth attempting to instruct them from.

REFLECT

Reflect on: Principles of teaching worth applying.

 The classroom environment must foster a positive attitude in my opinion if


I'm going to educate. Why? They can draw people's attention to this location,
which explains why. There's a chance the pupils can give the teacher their
undivided attention. I'll also make sure to commend them and offer helpful
critique because it's an activity.

students’ everyday life.
7.ANALYZE
An integrated teaching approach is far more Teacher involves students by using technology in his
effective than teaching isolated bits of information. lessons.

What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?


 It is impossible to find the perfect teaching strategy. Techniques that have been demonstrated
to be more effective than others include the following. Always keep in mind that a teacher's
choice of strategy—and even willingness to experiment—is influenced by the type of
students, the subject matter, and the students' motivation.

REFLECT

Reflect on this question.

How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lessons?


 We should always consider the lesson's purpose, topic content, and learning objectives while
choosing an effective strategy.

ACTIVITY 10.2
Determining Outcome-Based teaching and Learning

Grade/Year Level: ________________ Subject Area: __________________ Date: _______________

Observe a class and answer the following questions.


1. Did the Teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes (ILOs) at the beginning of the class?
Did he/she share them with the class? How?
 After reviewing the previous lesson, the teacher defines the learning objective and intended
learning outcomes (ILOs). She reads it to them from the board by requesting a kid to do so.
2. What teaching-learning activities (TLAs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help him/her attain his/her lesson
objectives /ILOs? Explain your answer.
 The teaching-learning activities she gave use is lecture, discussion, team learning
activity and group activity. This activity helps her attain the lesson’s objective/ILOs.
3. What assessment task/s did the teacher employ? Is/Are these aligned to the lesson objectives/ILOs?
ANALYZE  The teacher used written and group activities as forms of assessment. The assessments are in
line with the ILOs and instructional objectives.

1. What are your thoughts about Outcome-Based Teaching and Learning (OBTL)?
 . The new curricula were being included using the outcome-based teaching and learning
REFLECT
(OBTL) student-centered paradigm. OBTL focused more on what the learner was expected to
accomplish as a result of that teaching than on what the instructor wanted to teach.

Reflect on the use of OBTL.


 In outcome-based teaching and learning, the emphasis is on the prospective results that a
student might attain after finishing a particular course. His or her findings will act as the
cornerstone for all the knowledge they have learned throughout the program.

3. Affective How do you feel?

1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and leave school as periods!” Does this have
something to do with the type of questioning and reacting techniques that they employ?

 This may be related to how teachers instruct their students in some way. A child will start
studying when all of their question marks (as in questions they haven't yet answered)
transform into periods, according to the quotation (which usually means they have the answer
they need). They leave for school and come home in separate periods. Yes, this is related to
the methods of inquiring and responding that they are using.

Use the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the Technology
Integration Matrix on p. 123, in which level of technology integration do you think the teacher you
observe operated? Why?
 To offer instructional material to students, the instructor uses technology. The teacher
is thus integrating technology at the first level. I learned a lot while I was watching, so
it worked for me.
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning environments in
the class that you observed? Point your observations that justify your answer.
 According to what I have seen, the technology integration matrix identifies the
learning environment's qualities as active and constructive since students actively
engage with rather than passively receive technology. Additionally, tools that help
people understand rather than just absorb information
Over-all were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your suggestions.
 The use of the educational materials was effective, yes. Given that we no longer have
in-person training and now rely only on the internet, it makes sense for me to use
PowerPoint presentations as teaching aids to help students understand the lesson.
The teacher prepared the teaching material for the pupils to utilize whereas the class
was discussing it through a PowerPoint presentation. This gave them the opportunity
to jot down the main ideas of the conversation. It also helps students comprehend the
content more fully because they can view, can be led during dialogue, and are more
engaged.

REFLECT

1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher, what would you do similarly and what would you do
differently if you would teach the same group of students? Why?
 In order for my pupils to put what they had learnt during the discussion into practice, if
I were teaching the course on speech delivery, I would also have them deliver the
speech. I must allow them to do this so that I may see what they can show everyone.
Additionally, it might boost their self-assurance and skills. The instructor did a
fantastic job instructing. She provides relatable examples for the students. She
frequently has question-and-answer sessions with the students. She pushed pupils to
express their ideas, which I found to be helpful. I wanted to adopt those mindsets
because I believed that in doing so, students would feel part of the class and that
their opinions mattered.

quests/games) on the topic. Try to ask Siri, Alexa;
3. List and describe at least 5 open-source sites /interactive programs; from open-source
4. Evaluate the materials or programs.
5. Reflect on your FS experience.

OBSERVE
Class Observation Guide
Read the following statements carefully before you observe.
1. What is the lesson about? What are the teacher’s objectives?
- The lesson is all about rounding numbers; rounding up and down. The objective of this lesson is for
students to understand simple situations in which to round up to the next 10 or down to the previous 10.

2. Note the important concepts that the teacher is emphasizing.


The important concepts that the teacher is emphasizing is that they have to identify is that number is
rounding up or down. They have to memorize that 0,1,2,3,4 is round down and 5,6,7,8,9 is round up.

3. Note the skills that the teacher is developing in the learners.


The skill that the teacher is developing in the learners is the memorizing and identifying. Math is
hard but the teacher is making it easy by encouraging all of them to participate in the class and
correct them in a right way.

ANALYZE

Analyzing the observation, you got from observing the class, surf the internet to select

What made it easy? Difficult?
 When I search Google for electronic document materials for the class, resource descriptions come up. I
need to read them. I must first decide if it is related to my topic or not. Indeed, it is really difficult, but
with the aid of numerous tools, it is relatively easy.
2. How did you choose which electronic resources to include here? What did you consider? Explain.
Which of the new trends in Education 4.0 would you like to explore more for your work as a teacher?
Why?
 There are a number of things to take into account while choosing an electronic resource. Credibility
comes first. It is then appropriate. It entails choosing tools that have been tried and assessed. You do
not need to include any of the numerous additional items that appear when you search on Google
because they are not relevant. The accessibility factor comes next. Choose items that are compatible
with the organization's resources and your budget.
3. Reflect on your technology skills. What skills do you already have, and what skills would you continue
to work on to be better at utilizing education 4.0 resources?
 If I had been to assess my own abilities, I'd say that I already possess good computer and internet
navigational skills, as well as the ability to prepare numerous electronic resources. However, I need to
continue developing my skills in creating other electronic visual aids, such as slides.

REFLECT

1. How can MOOCs help you in your future career as a professional teacher and as a lifelong
learner?
 MOOCs have helped me realize, as a future teacher, that technology has a significant impact on both
our lives and our learning. MOOCs enable me to provide high-quality education to people as a lifelong
learner. As a result of participating in MOOCs, I will gain knowledge that I will share with my future
students. It also assists me in preparing for my future career.

2. What did you learn from the way the providers use technology to teach in the MOOCs?
 MOOCs, I've discovered, provide a comprehensive, completely free online course to anyone who wants
to learn or study. Furthermore, they provide excellent education to all students. You can attend the
courses from anywhere at any moment if you have access to the internet. They offer online exercises
for their customers to test their knowledge.

3. How will you prepare yourself for MOOCs, as a learner, and as a teacher who may someday teach
a MOOC?
 I intend to use this course to prepare for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). I'll look into these
classes to learn more about what they have to offer. I've promised myself that by then, I'll have honed
my skills so that I can be a more effective facilitator. so that I can effectively assist my next students'

the lesson.

2. Did the teacher ask the class “Did you understand”? If she did, what was the class response?
 Yes, the teacher asks the class “Did you understand”? and the student’s response “Yes”.

3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand the lesson or a part of the
lesson? How?
 Yes, especially when it comes to remembering, when a student from the class is given a
question and fails to understand it. Additionally, there is one student who is genuinely confused
by the instruction and is asking questions about it.

4.If they did, how did the teacher respond?


 The teacher responded directly by explaining and discussing the idea made by the students in
the areas where they were confused and by providing some feedback.

5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for clarification? How was this done?
 Yes, by raising their hands and voicing their inquiries, the students had provided the chance to
ask clarification-related questions. After the class, the teacher checks to see if the pupils
understood the lesson, and if not, she goes over the parts that were challenging for them.

6. If she found out that his/her lesson was not clearly understood, what did the teacher
do? Did you observe any of these activities? Please check.
 Peer tutoring (Tutors were assigned by teacher to teach one or two classmates.
 Each –one-teach-one (Students paired with one another)
 Teacher gave a Module for more exercises for lesson mastery.
 Teacher did re-teaching

Others, please specify __________________________________________________


7. If she engaged himself/herself in re-teaching, how did she do it? Did he/she use the same teaching
strategy? Describe.
 When presenting the material to pupils once more, a different strategy should be used to keep
their interest and guarantee that they remember the lesson or lessons. like the way teachers
are trained and the utilization of basic educational materials. We should utilize a different
teaching strategy because if you stick with your current teaching approach, the student may
not understand it since they find it challenging.

8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and/or with other students-turned tutors, did teacher check on
students’ progress?
 Yes.

ANALYZE
1. Why should a teacher find out if the students understand the lesson while teaching is in progress?
Is it not better to do a one-and-for-all assessment at the completion of the entire lesson?
 It is crucial that the teacher assess the students' comprehension as the lesson is going on to
avoid not achieving the learning objectives at the end of the session. It should be performed to
alleviate wasting time waiting about for a prolonged period only to learn that they were
unsuccessful.
2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask “Did you understand, class”? When he/she intends to check
on learners’ progress?
 When a teacher wants to assess the progress of the class, it is sufficient to ask, "Did you
understand, class," but the instructor can also provide learning activity sheets to see if the
students truly understood the lesson.
3. Should a teacher record results of formative assessment for grading purposes? Why or why not?
 No, should not record results of formative assessment for grading purposes because it is not
intended. Summative should be recorded not the formative assessment.

4. Based on your observations, what formative assessment practice worked?


 I have observed that mostly diagnostic test.
5. For formative assessment, why is peer tutoring in class sometimes seen to be more effective than
teacher himself/herself doing the re-teaching or tutoring?
 Peer tutoring seems to be more effective since they can express their idea to their classmates.
They can discuss freely and teach what they have understand from their lesson. Per tutoring
can also help the student to be more independent on their learning process.
6. Could an unreasonable number of failures at the end of the term/grading period be attributed to the
non-application of formative assessment? Why or why not?
 Absolutely, because when a teacher effectively employs formative assessment, failure to
achieve learning as well as its objectives at the end of the term can be avoided. You may
reteach in a variety of ways so that pupils fully understand what is being taught to them
because you're able to fix issues as soon as they arise.

REFLECT

 Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this and write your
reflections.
 Assessment is crucial to the teaching-learning process. Yes, it is sufficient to ask the student if
they understood the lesson, but providing formative evaluation is far more sufficient to
determine whether you will need to re-teach the subject. As if you were cooking the soup while
tasting it. Without tasting the soup, how can you tell if it is excellent or not? With soup, you may
use formative assessment to see if a student has a grasp of the material, and the lesson's
intended taste serves as its learning objective.
 Should you record results of formative assessment? Why or why not?
 No, because formative evaluation is used to monitor pupils' growth and level of learning. According to
Evaluation for Learning, teachers use exams as evaluative instruments to gather as much data as they
can about the skills and knowledge of their pupils, as well as any misconceptions, answers, or gaps they
might have.

SHOW YOUR LEARNING ARTIFACTS

My Accomplished Observation Sheet

In the typical classroom situation, formative evaluation can be seen both before and during instruction.
Sometimes, before the intended class officially begins, the teacher conducts a diagnostic exam or retest.
Additionally, activities such as asking someone to explain or respond to a question, learning exercises that are
related to the discussion's subject and objects, and the like are sprinkled throughout the discussion.
My analysis
In formative assessment teachers have their ways to cheek the students understanding of the lesson. This are
the ways done by teacher when students did not fully understand the lesson
□ Peer tutoring
□ Teach student one-by-one
□ Teacher gave a Module for more exercises for lesson mastery.
□ Teacher did re-teaching.
My Reflection
 Formative evaluation occurs both before and during instruction in a normal classroom setting. A testing
procedure or retest may be given by the teacher prior to the start of the intended class. The discussion
includes other exercises relating to the subject objective objects of the debate, asking someone to
explain something or react to a question, and the like. Yes, asking the learner if they comprehend the
topic is sufficient, but giving them formative evaluation is far more sufficient to figure out whether you
will need to reteach the subject.

Activity 12.2
Observing Assessment AS learning Practices (Self-Assessment)
Resource Teacher: ___________ Teacher’s Signature: ______ School: ____________
Grade/Year Level: ____________ Subject Area: ___________ Date: ______________

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 By providing them exercises and checking their answers on the
opportunities for the learners to board, the teacher allots time for the students to keep track of
monitor and reflect on their own their own learning. When the teacher asked the students about
learning? their work or how they arrived at an answer, they might have
solved a math problem and explained how they did it.

understand the lesson.

4. Did teacher create criteria Yes, the teacher is always setting criteria in every activity like in
with the students for the tasks group presentation.

learned?

ANALYZE

1. If the student is at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment should support student
learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
 I do agree that the assessment should follow the lecture. The evaluation ought to match the
goals and expected results.
2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as assessment for learning?
 In order to inform instruction and help students manage their own learning, assessment for
learning continuously monitors student progress. Both teachers and students are given
instructions on the best course of action to adopt. Assessment as learning is the goal of
formative evaluations. The assessment of learning is another ongoing process that helps
students become independent, self-directed, metacognitive, and watchful learners by giving
them the opportunity to evaluate their own learning, pinpoint their own weaknesses and
strengths, modify their learning approaches, learn from past errors, and determine the best
course of action. Formative evaluations fulfill the same function of evaluation as learning as
peer and self-assessments

.
REFLECT

The primary purpose of assessment is not to measure but to further learning. Reflect on
your personal experiences of assessment in school. Were you given opportunities for self-
assessment? If yes, what was the impact to your learning?
 I can evaluate myself since I have experience. The teacher asked me how I arrived at the
solution to a math issue. Exactly what did I do, etc. My ability to identify my mistakes and make
immediate corrections as a result of self-evaluation has a positive effect on my learning. The
examination helped me to understand the lesson.
SHOW YOUR LEARNING ARTIFACTS

1. My Accomplished Observation Sheet.


 In addition to the teachers' formative assessments, assessment as learning
practiced in simple. Clear criteria are also given when pupils are given assignments to
complete. Teacher allow students the opportunity to keep track of and reflect on their own
learning. Every time a new lesson is presented, the teacher always allows the students to have
a clear set of learning objectives.

2. My Analysis
 Formative assessment if used not to get the grades of the students but to know if they are
progressing in catching the lesson. This will also help the teacher to plan in re-teaching just in
case the student didn’t really get the lesson. It may take the form of remedial teaching through
individual teaching, self-teaching by the teacher, and other creative activities.

3. My Reflection
 In order to inform instruction and help students manage their own learning, assessment for
learning continuously monitors student progress. Both teachers and students are given
instructions on the best course of action to adopt. Assessment as learning is the goal of
formative evaluations. The assessment of learning is another ongoing process that helps
students become independent, self-directed, metacognitive, and watchful learners by giving

ANALYZE

1. Are all the assessment task aligned to the learning outcome?


 YES.
2. What are possible consequences if teacher's assessment tasks are not aligned to
learning outcome/s? Does this affect assessment results? How?
 The class may not be able to succeed if the teacher's assessment tasks are not aligned
with the learning outcome(s). Because the evaluation results were not aligned with the
desired learning goal, it was not possible to determine what the pupils had learnt
from the lesson.
3. Why should assessment tasks be aligned to the learning outcomes?
 To achieve the lesson's objectives, each activity and evaluation should be in line with
it. Since our goal in every lesson is to educate and also impart to the students the
knowledge they need on the specific day, your lesson for today will be lost if the
assessment is not in line with the planned learning outcomes. Students will struggle
to understand the lesson if you give them assessments that are not related to the
anticipated learning outcomes.
REFLECT
T Reflect on past assessments you have been through. We're they all aligned with what your
teacher taught (with learning outcomes)?
 Since every evaluation is in line with what the teacher has been teaching us, I recall from
other assessments that I've taken that I didn't have any trouble.

 How this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson did you learn from this
past experience and from this observation?
 Understanding the lesson is made simpler by the fact that all of the assessments are in line
with it. The lesson I will take away from this past experience and from this observation as a
future teacher is that every lesson has goals and planned activities that should be in line
with those goals and intended learning outcomes. It's critical to assess student
understanding to see if they have already absorbed the lesson.

ACTIVITY 13.2 Observing the Use of Traditional Assessment Tools

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes

 Critique traditional assessment tools and tasks for learning in the context of established
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.

ANALYZE

1. Which assessment tools/tasks were most commonly used by teacher? Which ones were
rarely used? Why were they rarely used?
 The short type answer is, in my opinion, the most popular tool or method of assessment that
teachers employ since it allows them to gauge their pupils' understanding of the lesson. The
instructor can assess if the students have retained the material. The matching type and
multiple choice are the tools that are rarely utilized because they are only used during
exams.

2. Based on your answers found in the Tables above in which type of assessment tools and
tasks were the Resource Teachers most skilled in test construction? Least skilled?
 According to the responses revealed in the abovementioned Tables, the Resource Teachers
are most adept at producing brief answers whereas they are least adept at creating multiple-
choice and matching type answers.
3. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper-and-pencil test, be
considered an authentic form of assessment. Explain your answer.
 Yes, composing an essay or other written assignment or taking a written test using paper
and pencil can be regarded as an authentic form of assessment because it allows us to
evaluate how well the students have comprehended the material.

REFLECT

How good are you at constructing traditional assessment tools? Which do you find most difficult to
construct? Any lesson's learned?
 Although I can't claim to be very skilled at creating traditional evaluation tools, I have trouble
with multiple choice. Three options will be presented to them by you. The difficult questions,
but we should always consider their difficulty. They will be tricked by a cunning response
that is age- and comprehension-appropriate while yet being cunning.
ACTIVITY 13.3 Observing the Use of Non-traditional Assessment Tools

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.
 Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
 Which type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use - analytic or holistic?

ANALYZE

1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you think that type of
rubric was used more?
For me, analytic rubrics is more used than holistic rubrics because it measures the different
aspects of the performance of the learners.
2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used by the
Resource Teachers?
The rubrics was developed in accordance with the standard where the teacher is looking for, for
giving grades to his/her students.
3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or
performance without scoring rubrics? Explain.
Yes, it will make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or
performance without scoring rubrics. For giving a fair grade to the students. The teacher must
present a rubric where the student will rely on where they will focus on the rubrics to do the activity
and get a high grade and by this the teachers will have a copy on how to give grades to his/her
students.
4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
For me, there is no need to improve or change the rubric presented by my resource teacher because
the rubrics is aligned to the lesson presented by the teacher.

3. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper - and - pencil test, be
considered an authentic form of assessment? Explain your answer.
Yes, essay or other written requirements can be considered an authentic form of assessment
because based on what they have write on the paper we can monitor if they have acquired the
knowledge they should be acquired on the specific lesson. We can monitor if they already achieved
the intended learning outcomes of the lesson.
6. Can rubrics help make students to become self - directed or independent learners? Do rubrics
contribute to assessment AS learning (self - assessment?) What if there were no rubrics in
assessment?
Rubrics do really help students become independent learners by assisting them in identifying their
objectives when completing performance tasks. Rubrics, on the other hand, have also helped with
assessment of student learning because they allow students to determine whether they have met
the standards set by their teachers.
7. Does the Scoring Rubric in this FS Book 1 help you come up with better output?
Yes, because of the rubrics I can do this activity.

REFLECT

Are authentic assessment tools and tasks new? Reflect on your experiences of tests for all the years
as a student.
The assessment tasks and techniques, in my own experience, are fresh because we are K–12
graduates. We are all aware of how drastically the K–12 curriculum has changed. As far as I can
remember, all of the tests that were given to us in elementary and high school focused more on
memorization than application. In contrast, the tests that were given to us in senior high school
now demanded higher order thinking because they focused more on application than memorization.

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 works. 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

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?
the basis for the selection of pieces of evidence to show that what the student was supposed to
learn was learned is assessment because the students shows that they already know the lesson on
that day.
4. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio. Based on the parts, under which type of portfolio
does this fall?
Based on the parts, under the project portfolio does this fall because it focuses on the work
of an individual project and its purpose to document the steps taken within reflection on
each step and the entire project.

6. Student's Reflections

5. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?
Process portfolio used to prove the learning outcomes in the given time. It integrates
reflection and higher-order cognitive activities presenting on the evidences. Documentations
portfolio use for the collection of work over time showing the growth and improvement of the
learners.

REFLECT

Have portfolios made the learning assessment process more inconvenient? Is the effort exerted on
portfolio assessment commensurate to the improvement of learning and development of learner’s
metacognitive process that result from the use of portfolio?
For me portfolios make the learning assessment process convenient. Yes, the effort is there, the
portfolio assessment commensurate the improvement of learning the results that results from the
use of portfolio.

3. Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, which are the highest cognitive skills? Give an
example of an assessment question for each of the two highest cognitive skills- metacognitive skills
and self-system thinking
According to Bloom old version of taxonomy the knowledge, comprehension and application are the
lower order thinking skills and the last three which is analysis synthesis and evaluation are the
higher order thinking skills.

REFLECT

If you were to rate yourself on Hold - where will you be from a scale of 1 to 5 (5 as highest) where
will you be?
As a future teacher, reflect on how will you contribute to the development of learners' HOTS?
If I were to rate my higher order thinking skills I will give myself 3 because I know there are a lot of
thing I should improve and learn. As a future educator, I will contribute to the students higher
order thinking skills by giving them an activities that will assess them an questioning them in order
for them to use their critical thinking skills and able to use in a real world situation.

ANALYZE

1. What parts must a TOS contain to ensure test content validity


A TOS must have an equal distribution of questions in every item of cognitive level in order to
guarantee the test's content validity.
2. Why is there a need for number of items per cognitive level?
To keep the questions' fairness across all cognitive levels and to be fair to all pupils.
3. With OBE in mind, is it correct to put leaning outcome not topic in the first column? Why?
why not?
In my opinion, it is important to put first the learning outcomes because it is need to consider the
output of students.
4 Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS?
Yes, even without creating TOS, the teacher can have a test question with content validity, but it is
unreliable.
5. Complete the given TOS.

REFLECT

Read this conversation and reflect on teachers? assessment practices. Write your
here.
Student A: Saan naman pinulot ni Teacher ang kaniyang tanong? Ni-isang tanong sa

tinuro, wala! (Where did Teacher get her test? Not one of what she taught came out!)

Student B: Oo nga.! Nakakaiinis! (You are right! How annoying!")

Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it. Will the required use of Table of
Specifications as guide in test construction solve the problem of misaligned tests?
Yes, I have a similar experience. When I was a high school student, I noticed that certain exam
questions had nothing to do with the material the teacher had just covered. So, in order to pass the
exam, I simply provided a stock response without checking to see if it was accurate. In this
instance, it's possible that the teacher didn't use a TOS as the foundation for developing the test
questions.

D. Review of DepEd Order # 8, s. 2015


Read DepEd Order # 8 s. 2015. You may refer to Appendix A. Based on DepEd Order 8, s. 2015,
answer the following
1. What are the bases for grading?
All grades will be based on the weighted raw score of the learners' summative assessments.
The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning area is 60, which is transmuted to 75
in the report card. The lowest mark that can appear on the report card is 60 for Quarterly
Grades and Final Grades.
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for (Grades I to 10 and Grades 11 to 12. Give an
example.
In a grading period, there is one Quarterly Assessment but there should be instances for
students to produce Written Work and to demonstrate what they know and can do through
Performance Tasks. There is no required number of Written Work and Performance Tasks,
but these must be spread out over the quarter and used to assess learners’ skills after each
unit has been taught.
3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year?
According to my resource teacher, she will be going to sum up the quarterly grades of her
students from first to fourth grading to compute the final grades of every students in
different subject
4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress of learners?
the learners report card.
5. What are the bases for learners' promotion and retention at the end of the school year?
The bases for learners’ promotion is when the students gets a higher grades after computing
the overall of her grades from 1st to last quarter but if he/she got a below 74 grade then
he’s/she’s not going to promote.
6. What is the report on learners observed values?
The report on learners’ observed values will depend on the behavior of every students inside or
outside of the classroom.
E. Grade Computation
Show sample computations of a grade:

 In a subject of your choice from Grades 1 to 6 (If you are a future elementary teacher)
 In your specialization if you are a high school teacher)
 Show the percentage contributions to written work, performance tasks and quarterly
assessment. Then give the descriptor. Refer to DepEd Order # 8, s. 2015.

ANALYZE

Analyze data and information gathered from the interview and from your review of unused
Student's Report Card and the DepEd grading system.
1. Do teachers and students like the new grading system? Why or why not?
As I interviewed both students and teachers is look like they want the new grading system because
for the teacher it is easy to them in computing their grades because they used an electronic grading
system. While the students, it is favor to them because it easy to them to achieve their goals which
is getting a high grade.
2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to teachers? according to
students?
For the teacher, he/she don’t have any reason to failed the students that have low performance and
for the students they had a small chance to get failed grades because of the new grading system.
3. What are teachers challenged to do by this new grading system?
The teacher challenged by giving a corresponding point to his/her students even the answer is not
really connected to the question given by the teacher. Because of the new grading system is when
the student got 60 grade that will be equal to 75.
4 Do you favor the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and
quarterly assessment?
Yes, I am favor on the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and quarterly
assessment but it depends on the subjects.
5. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not?
Yes, I like the experience of computing grades because I’ll be able to experience on how to compute
a grade. That serves as an exercise for me before I become a license teacher.

REFLECT

In an era where the emphasis is self-directed learning and demonstration of competencies -


knowledge, skills and values learned (outcomes-based education)- do grades really matter?
Yes, the emphasis is self-directed learning and demonstration of competencies - knowledge, skills

Activity 2 will focus on the Professional Competencies for the Teachers. You may change
your sample Teacher in Activity 1 with another teacher or you can still observe the same teacher. In
case you will not change your teacher to be observed the same teacher will be your sample for both
Activity 1 and 2. Aside from direct observation, you will also do a survey in Activity 2.

ANALYZE

Did you learn from your observation of the teacher? Now let us analyze the information that you
have gathered.
Answer the following questions:
1. In activity 1, what do you consider as the 3 most outstanding significant qualities of the teacher
you chose as your case? Why do you consider these as outstanding?
a. KNOWLEDGEABLE
One of the means by which students acquire knowledge is through their teachers. They should
therefore be able to communicate their knowledge. The teacher should be able to explain their
knowledge. It is useless if the teacher is extremely knowledgeable about the subject but is
unable to communicate that knowledge. Students enjoy and do better in the subjects in which
they fully comprehend all of the terms. Similar to that, students adore teachers who clearly
explain concepts and make them easy to grasp. Therefore, sharing knowledge is increasingly
crucial.

b. DETERMINED

Regardless of the challenges, a focused teacher is committed on reaching their objectives.


Teachers who are determined are good decision-makers who can analyze a situation and select
the best course of action. Teachers who are persistent aid in keeping students committed to
success.
c. DIGNITY
Respect for humankind is the definition of dignity. Regardless of gender, sexual orientation,
gender diversity, appearance, age, religion, social standing, origin, opinions, abilities, and
achievements, teachers must appreciate all students. A teacher who is honorable and deserving
behaves in an honorable and deserving manner, exhibiting significant self-respect and regard
for others. A teacher should always have a respectable attitude that can serve as an example
that students, classmates, and others can follow. As a result, a teacher must always act
morally, honorably, and dignifiedly.

3. Which of these qualities do you have? Do you think you can fit as a good teacher someday?
Describe yourself.
Cooperative because I tend to be the kind of person that is always ready to lend a helping
hand. I acknowledge that there are obligations on my shoulders. This quality, I believe, will
make me a good teacher. A teacher must be eager to assist kids in learning and growing, and
they must be accountable enough to take responsibility for their actions. Even tiny actions
can have a significant impact.

REFLECT
Good teachers are role model, whether in school, at home or in the community. From the
teachers that you had in elementary to college, did the personal qualities help you learn better as a
student?
Yes, my unique traits aid in my ability to learn as a student. I am inspired to work harder so
that I may repay the effort they have put in by virtue of their traits such as being someone who is
willing to take his responsibility as a teacher and assist us learn and enhance our talents.
Identify one personal characteristics of your model teacher that has made a great impact in
your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how this quality influence you.
Being determined is a trait of my role model instructor that has had an impact on my life. Despite
the difficulties with the current educational system, she is willing to change and does not give up
easy for her students. Being a student in this time of pandemic is really challenging, but we are not
the only ones who struggle; our teachers do as well. Observing how she struggled and overcame
those obstacles she encountered inspires me. It makes me think that if my teacher does everything,
she can help us to, why should I not do the same thing and give back the efforts she gives to us.
Because of this, when professors are considerate and allow adjustments occur, students appreciate
it.

“A Day in the School Life of a Quality Teacher”


Getting ready for the class: For a teacher, getting ready for the lecture the following day is a
daily task. Even though he or she may have taught the topic before, there may be instances
when it has been updated or the theory has been enhanced in a certain field of study. It is
crucial that the instructor be up to date with news in her field of study in order to stay abreast of
the most recent developments. One profession that necessitates ongoing education is
teaching.

Teaching in the classroom: A typical school class may last 45 to 60 minutes. The teacher has
a set schedule during which they must instruct the pupils, grade their assignments, administer
tests, etc.

Assessing student performance: The school teacher's time may be heavily invested in this
task. It is crucial to carefully examine and evaluate the homework assignments and answer
sheets because doing so can affect a student's grade and, eventually, future.

Preparing documentation for students, participating in official meetings with other faculty
members and management, talking about book requirements, and other administrative tasks
are examples of this. You will learn more about the numerous types of administrative work that
must be done as you train to become a teacher. On GAL, you can also seek for some free
education and training-related career advice.

Parent interaction: In most schools, talking to parents of each student at least twice a year is a
crucial activity. Younger pupils in grades lower than VII require a lot of care and supervision. It
is crucial for a teacher to get in touch with a student's parents and concentrate on supporting
the child as much as possible if he or she is struggling to understand what is being taught in
class or falls behind the other students.

REFLECT

Now that you have spent one school day to observe this teacher, it would be good for you to
reflect on all your observation by answering reflective questions below.
1. Are you inspired to become a teacher after your observation? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Yes, I’m inspired to become a teacher after my observation and my interest in teaching
increases. Students shown a willingness to learn and acquire the knowledge the teacher
teach. We all know that every child has different capacity of learning that’s why I’m thinking of
different teaching strategies and become more open in improving my teaching skills to
become an effective teacher to my students.
2. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you do better as a professional
teacher?
Trying new different strategies in teaching. The students got easily bored that’s why I will
always look for different strategies where my students will be more active in my discussion.
Integrating some unique and fun learning strategies might help to make the learning process
livelier and more interesting to the students.

3. What are some of the concerns that you foresee in the future as a quality teacher? Do you think
you will be ready to address these? Give at least 2 concerns.
 Limited teaching materials
 Difficulty handling behavioral problems inside the classroom.
 I have to be readier as I face this problem, I will make sure that I am prepared and pursue
myself to come up with these problems.

4. In what aspect of the teacher’s day, would you like to congratulate the teacher you observed?
Can you show your appreciation to this teacher by sending a Thank You card? (Include this in your
artifact).

ANALYZE

 Based on your findings and observations in Activity 16.1 and Activity 16.2, which
philosophies of education are domain in Philippine basic schools? Why do you say
so?
Behaviorism, Progressivism, Existentialism, Perennialism, and Essentialism. With the
new curriculum, the five philosophies are the most common in this nation because
we have transformed our classrooms into learner-centered environments where
students are free to explore their subject matter and teachers serve as facilitators
who lead the class. The new curriculum has many modifications; however, the
learning materials still contain the previous teaching methods.

 If there is one philosophy that schools and teachers should give more attention to,
what should that be and why?
Constructivism, we should educate our children with inquiry-based learning to have
a set of active techniques that motivate students to interact with innovative
approaches through curiosity and discovery.

REFLECT
What is your philosophy of teaching? This describes what you believed you should teach,
how you should teach and how you should relate to others in school-with the learners,
your colleagues, your superiors and all other stakeholders. Write them down. This is your
title, “My Philosophy of Teaching.”

My philosophy of Teaching
These may be of help:
I believe that the learner is feel that a learner is someone who is ready to learn from
everyone and everything and who is constantly searching for new information. He is
focused on the lesson rather than the surroundings or the instructor. Everything has the
capacity to educate us in some way. Everything in the universe aims to educate us in some
way. An informed learner will be able to recognize this, analyze it, and put his teachings
into practice.
I believe that I should teach the learners since every learner is diverse and unique, I think I
should impart knowledge to them through a range of teaching techniques. inspiring them
to succeed in their schoolwork Taking care of them and giving them the knowledge, they
require to function as a member of a successful team. creating a stimulating environment
for learning that makes it challenging for pupils to remain engaged
I believe that communicating with the parents, coworkers, and the community can aid in
problem-solving. Parents can support teachers in their efforts to teach pupils academic
material and about appropriate behavior. By exchanging ideas, viewpoints, and solutions,
teachers and coworkers might prevent having to deal with problems. Through cooperation
and communication, this has a strong impact on the school and the child's surroundings
encountered outside of the classroom to develop a holistic world for kids.
