MY ASSESSMENT LIST
Name of FS Student: Kier A. Baugbog
Course: BSED Mathematics
Your Target
At the end of this activity, you will be keen at identifying and naming different
assessment methods used in the classroom.
Your Map
To be aware of the assessment tools that are used in the classrooms, you will find
interest in observing teachers assessment practices.
To hit your target, work your way through this steps.
Step 5: Reflect on your experience
.
Step 4: Confer with your FS teacher
your assessment list.
Your Tools
As you visit schools and observe assessment practices in at least three classes,
document your observations using the activity forms provided for you in this book. For
your pen-and-paper test items, customize a table of specification, and prepare the test
material based on the prescriptions of the school where you do class observation.

Your Analysis
Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How
relevant was/were the assessment methods used?
Apparently, the teacher uses different method but other methods are ofte
neglected. So, generally, the teacher uses a single kind of assessment method. It is very
conventional in nature. After every discussion the teacher gives quizzes and or seat works
to be worked out by the students. Its just basically paper and pen method. There is no
variety and I can say it is relevant but is very obsolete. On the k-12 curriculum education
where students performance is emphasized I expect that teachers will use authentic
assessment that would emphasize students performances in a specific topic. Nonetheless,
I completely understand why the teacher uses such method. The teacher is about 20-30
years in the service and I believe she is lack of knowledge about the way assessment
should be done in the new curriculum. The department of education should shoulder
these kinds of problems. They should have seminars that will inform most especially
those teachers who are already decades in the service.
Do you think the expected students learning behaviours indicated in the
objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?
I think the assessment method used by the teacher did not properly and
appropriately assessed the indicated learning behaviours in the objective. Aside from the
fact that it is conventional and does not emphasize the learning behaviour that should
manifest in the students, the way the assessment method was administered gives the
chance to the students to cheat. From the view at the back, I can say that some students
cheated and by that, I think the assessment method used by the teacher did not properly
and appropriately assessed the indicated learning behaviours in the objective.
Your Reflections
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the importance in the use of
appropriate assessment methods in the classroom, including what students and teachers
can gain from appropriate assessment tools. Share your reflection with your FS teacher
and classmates.
Assessment, primarily, is very essential in teaching-learning process. It
serves as physical evidence of whether your students learn and on the same manner if you
have been an effective teacher. Therefore, we need to choose appropriate assessment
methods. For the teachers, it is very important to choose appropriate assessment methods
because in that way they will be able to determine if their set goal was achieved. For the
students, it is very important to choose appropriate assessment methods because in that
way they will be able to have a fair methodology on measuring what have theyd learned.
Also, it will make them sure that it caters as much as possible the learning style of all
them.
