Name of FS Student: Mary Joy F. Navarro
Course: Bachelor of Secondary Education
Resource Teacher: Federico Nacino
Cooperating School: Isabela National High School
My Target
At the end of
this activity, you will be skilful in designing process – oriented performance
assessment.
MY TASK
After your observation experience
you now have a deeply and principled understanding of the concepts of authentic
assessment used in the classroom. You can now go through the process of
designing performance assessment by the following these steps:
1.
Visit a class and identify
performance-based activities.
2.
Choose one performance-based activity
and study its process.
3.
Design a performance assessment plan
for the activity you have chosen.
4.
Collect samples of performance-based
assessment tools.
5.
Reflect on your experience.
MY TOOLS
In observing a
class, take note of important observations of the performance-based activity in
the classroom. Make a checklist of the important things you want to consider in
your assessment planning. Use the activity form provided for you. You may use format
of process-oriented assessment that you have taken in your assessment 2 class.
The rubrics are part and parcel of this assessment plan.

Name of the School Observed: Isabela
National High School
School Address: Claravall St. San Vicente
Ilagan City, Isabela
Date Visited: February 02, 09, 16 2015
Grade/Year Level: Grade 9 -Patience
Subject Area: Electronics

Describe in
bullets the performance-based activity you observe.
The topic I
have observed in this episode is “Identifying Series and Parallel Circuit”.
·
In
the activity made by the student they should know the difference between the
Series and Parallel Circuit.
·
The
teacher gives them different illustrations and they will tell whether it is
connected in Series or Parallel Circuit.
·
The
teacher will now pick one name of student and he will show one illustration.
·
After
the students have answered it, he will now explain or define the meaning of
his answer.
·
The
student will be graded according to his answer and his explanation.

Based on your
observation, make a checklist of the important things you wish to consider in
your performance-based assessment plan.
MY CHECKLIST
Here are some
lists of important things I wish to consider in my performance-based
assessment plan:
·
There
should be a specific purpose why you are teaching this lesson to your
students.
·
You
should know you’re learning target in teaching to know what kind of
assessment will be used.
·
We
should consider the different capabilities and skills of our students.
·
The
objective should target the three (3) domains of learning.
·
Instruction
and procedures must be clear.
·
Let
the student know the criteria you will use.

What are the best features of my
process-oriented performance assessment design?
These are the best features of my
process-oriented performance assessment design:
·
The assessment was used
properly.
·
The objective set by the
teacher was meet.
·
The instruction was clearly
stated.
·
It builds up the student to
learn most.
·
The learning was simple and
meaningful.

What specific conditions are
necessary for a successful use of my process-oriented performance assessment
design?
These are the conditions necessary for
a successful use of my process-oriented performance assessment design:
·
Instruction must be clear and
procedures should be followed properly.
·
The teacher must give the
guidance needed by the student during and after activity.
·
Each member of the group
should cooperate in the activity.
·
The three domains of learning
should be considered.
·
The teacher should have
scoring rubrics to be identified.

What basic points should the user of
this design consider?
The basic points the user should
consider in this design are:
·
Who will be the learning
target of this assessment.
·
The materials and tools
should be provided.
·
We should consider the
differences of each student in their acquired skills.
·
The teacher should guide the
student well by giving clear instructions.
·
The teacher should give
attention to the students to be assessed.

ANALYSIS
1.
Why do teachers need to give attention
to the students’ process-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?
The teacher
needs to give attention to the students’ process-oriented task to be able to
evaluate both the effectiveness of the process or procedure used by the
students. We also need to give attention to our students so that we will be
able to identify what aspect they are in and what process they have a hard time
dealing with. We need to assess our students so that we can measure the ability
and skills of our students to perform such task and know whether they have
understood the subject matter. We need to assess our students to provide hem
opportunity to explore learning, to discover how they acquire learning to the
most, and try out different approaches to solve problems, and work
independently to determine the relevance of what they are learning in their
lives.
2.
In what conditions can the
process-oriented performance assessment be used appropriately?
The process-oriented performance assessment may be used
appropriately if learning for the students is playful, recursive and
non-linear, engaging, self-directed and provide meaningful experiences.
Process-oriented performance assessment may be used appropriately when teachers
first determine the purpose why they are teaching this lesson, next is to make
your objectives for your learners and define instructional outcomes for the
backbone of a good process-oriented performance-based assessment. This can also
be used appropriately if the nature of the task and the scoring criteria used
to judge the student is in fair manner.
Reflection
Make reflections on your feelings and thoughts about the observations
made in this FS.
As I observed the class that was assigned to me, I have realize
something good about teaching, in assessing our students of course we require
them to do something, not simply know it or know how to do it. What’s important
is that we should require our students to show what they can do, not simply
tell what they know or should do. In the performance made by our students we
should know how to appreciate their works, we should know that the emphasis
here is on our students ability to use their knowledge and skills to produce
their own work. In the other word we should give attention on how our students
used such metacognitive strategies or the abilities with which learning reflect
upon, evaluate and monitor their own learning process, as a necessary condition
for learning and intellectual development. Someday as a future teacher we will
also used this kind of assessment but in using it we need to consider things so
that we will be able to use this kind of assessment appropriately and
effectively.
