OBSERVATION NOTES

Name of the School Observed: Isabela National High School School Address: : St. Claravall,Ilagan City, Isabela Date Visited:   March 3, 2015 Grade/Year Level: Grade 9 Patience Subject Area:  TLE

Describe in bullets the product-oriented activity you observe.     v Product-oriented activity is used by the teacher to assess students’ performance or output.     v  It is the output of students’ accomplishment.     v  Students perform their tasks according to the teacher’s instruction.     v  This activity provides the teacher to assess students’ psychomotor skills.     v This is used in formative and summative assessment.     v This engages students themselves to work creatively.     v  Product-oriented activity focuses on the student’s output.

MY PLAN

Learning Objectives:     Ø Students are expected to make a poster which portrays the proper disposal of chemical substances used in agriculture.

General Product-oriented performance Task:     Ø    Creativity in poster making

Target Skills:      Ø     Creativity and self-confidence      Ø     Originality

Learning Activities (Specific tasks):      Ø   Students should prepare all the materials needed in poster making.       Ø   Should draw or create a poster which depicts the proper disposal of chemical substances in agriculture.       Ø Students should pass their output (project) in a given period of time.

Assessment Tasks: The making of the product will be evaluated through the following criteria: CRITERIA Creativity   30% Speed           15% Neatness      25% Originality   30%

Analysis

1.       Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?

   

v  Yes, because this design is merely based from the result and this result was based from the teacher’s learning objectives which is stated specifically and clearly in behavioral terms.

2.       Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?

v                              v      Teachers need to give attention to student’s product-oriented tasks to monitor their achievement and assist students by giving specific and necessary instructions for them.

Teachers’ attention is important to be able for the students to do their task properly and       appropriately. They need to assess students’ performance to determine their level of skills in doing their tasks

3.       In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?

v  Product-oriented performance assessment can be more appropriate in assessing the outcome or the result of students’ accomplishments to determine if there is a need for improvement.

                      Reflections

Write your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights or new understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment. Then share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates. Also draw some insights from your classmates’ sharing.

After answering all the questions in this field study I realized that as a future teacher we should be more observant and give more attention to our pupils/students because all of them have a different characteristics and capabilities that we should enhance through the use of different methods, strategies and assessment tools. Also, after answering this field study I understand how a teacher should be in dealing his/her pupils. And through this I have learned many things that I can use when I am already in the field of teaching. That in giving assessment is a task that we need to think and examine carefully and we should based it on the learners and the learning objectives for it to be successfully done.

            Authentic assessment under product-oriented performance design is necessary in determining the outcome or the result of students’ accomplishment. In dealing with this kind of assessment, a teacher must be knowledgeable in giving specific and clear directions to attain the desired outcome based from students’ ability, strengths and weaknesses.

            After going through this episode, I learned a vital understanding about using the product-oriented design. A teacher should give more focus and attention to the process which comprises the product or the result.

            There is a need for the teacher to use authentic assessment which can promote more active classroom environment to develop students’ learning skills. A teacher can also help students to accomplish great and desirable things and to build more their capacity engaging themselves in a more creative and active classroom tasks.

PEACE CONCEPT ON FOCUS: EQUITY

In assessment strategies, equity should be considered because learning can be more meaningful for the students who are eager to accomplish the teacher’s learning objectives.

Equity in assessment denotes balance which targets all the domains of learning such as cognitive, affective and psychomotor. At the same time, it also targets the domains of multiple intelligences. Students’ performance will surely be developed much better when there is equity which promotes fairness in individuals’ learning styles and individual differences.

Equity in assessment leads to authenticity which students would attain meaningful learning performances. There is also good interaction between the teacher and the students which they learn from each other and they could find that learning changes one behavior and attitude for the betterment.

FS 5 EPISODE 1-5 PHOTO GALLERY

As we can see on these pictures, Mr.Nacino used traditional materials in conducting his lesson. He used visual aids and chalkboard. He also used the actual multi-tester in able for the students to understand well the topic being discussed by him. Students are listening well to Mr.Nacino and while he is discussing the lesson, students are taking note every important detail.

Mr.Nacino used ORAL RECITATION STRATEGY in assessing his student’s ability and to test their listening skills.
