Resource Teacher: Mr. Limon Lauro, Mr. Felicisimo Alcaraz, Ms. Perla Turibio
Cooperating School: Isabela National High School
My Target
At the end of this activity, you will be competent in identifying and naming different assessment methods used in the classroom.
My Task
· Observe at least three classes and make a list of the assessment methods used by teachers.
· In my list, classify assessment methods as to conventional and authentic and alternative.
· Describe how each assessment method was used, including my personal observations.
· Confer with my FS teacher for the assessment list.
· Reflect on my experience.
My 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 reference. 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.

Project Based assessment
|
● the teacher first discuss about the lesson and the procedure and its importance of the wood painting. Later, he will ask the students to provide their own materials. With this his learners will now make their own according to the levels of their understanding. One thing that is good with the project based assessment is that the students will use their creativity to make the required output. Another is that the teacher can now measure the behaviours of the students through their work, if the student is patient and have a good workmanship.

Analysis
1. Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant was/were the assessment method/s used?
Having a variety of assessment method could give a validity in your assessment, i mean if the teacher assess the project of the student he will now have to ask the students on how did they do it, another is that he observe the student if they do their work patiently. Now base on my observation the teacher uses a variety of assessment method to give a grade on the output of each student.
The assessment method was relevant in such the output of the students have a rubrics to give a grade on it. It is important to have a rubric because this will prove that you have a basis on assessing the work of each group. The rubric was presented publicly to all the student so they wont wonder on how the teacher arrive in that grade.
2. Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviours indicated in the objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods?
For me yes the indicated learning objective was achieved with the use of that type of learning assessment used. Base again on my observation, teacher Limon have to check now the project of each student then after that he now ask question on how does the student do his project and ask what will the student do with that project after he will give back it. The cognitive was achieved in terms of asking the student about the project, the affective was achieved by asking what will now the student do with finish project then lastly the psychomotor was achieved during the process of making their project.
My Reflections
Using a different type of assessment method could give you a better idea on assessing the work of each group. It is also important to stay beside the students while having their work because with that you can see the performance and workmanship of each student if they are patient on making their activity or not. It is also important to have a rubric on assessing the work of each student because these will give a fair basis on assessing them. It is also important to make your class alive by cracking some jokes so that the class will be free from boredom, just like what teacher Alcaraz did during his discussion. He make sure that his student are alive in listening and making their activity. Teacher Limon also have his own strategy to make sure that the project of his student was really made by them by asking again the student on how they made it and what are the materials they used. Teacher Turibio also check on how this student will behave during the activity.
