FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE

Assessment Of Learning
FS 1 13 (summative assessment)

SPARK YOUR INTEREST

Episode # 12 dwelt on Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) and


Assessment as Learning (self-assessment). These refer to assessment that teachers
do while still teaching and student’s assessing their own learning. Episode # 13 will
be focused on Assessment of Learning. When teachers have done everything they
can to help learners attain the intended learning outcome/s, teachers subject their
students to assessment for grading purposes. This is referred to as assessment of
learning which is also known as summative assessment.
Episode # 13 will be focused on 1) assessment of learning in the cognitive,
psychomotor and affective domains with the use of traditional and non-traditional
assessment tasks and tools, 2) assessment of learning outcomes in the different
levels of cognitive taxonomy; 3) construction of assessment items with content
validity; 4) Table of Specifications; 5) Portfolio, 6) Scoring Rubrics, 6) The K to 12
Grading System and 7 Reporting Students’ Performance.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to demonstrate understanding of the


design, selection, organization and use of summative assessment strategies
consistent with curriculum requirements by being able to:
 determine the alignment of assessment tools and tasks with intended learning
outcomes;
 critique traditional and authentic assessment tools and tasks for learning in the
context of established guidelines on test construction;
 evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics;
 examine different types of rubrics used and relate them to assessment of student
learning;
 distinguish among the 3 types of learner’s portfolio;
 evaluate a sample portfolio;
 construct assessment questions for HOTS following Bloom’s Taxonomy as revised
by Anderson and Krathwohl and Kendall’s and Marzano’s taxonomy;
 explain the function of a Table Specifications;
 distinguish among types of learners’ portfolios and their functions;
 compute students’ grade based on DepEd’s grading policy;
 state the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents; and
 Describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful.

 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 test or constructed-response/supply type of tests.
 Common examples of selected – response type of 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.

and Scoring Rubrics

Resource Teacher: ___________________ Teacher’s Signature: ____________ School:


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

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


 Evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics

REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS

 There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment


tools.
 Authentic/ non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning outcome
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?
 What type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use – analytic or holistic?

Scrutinizing the Type and Parts of a Portfolio


Activity 13.4

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME


 Evaluate a sample portfolio
 Distinguish among the 3 types of portfolio

DISCOVER THE LEARNING


ESSENTIALS

 A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work


accompanied by clear criteria for performance with 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 is not a mere
collection of student’s work. 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 international collection of work
guided by learning objectives.
 Effective portfolio systems are characterized by clear picture of the student skills to
be addressed, student’s involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of
criteria to define quality performance as basis for communication, and self-
reflection through which students share 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, 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 Observation Sheet #
4. Put a check in the right column.

What a Portfolio Includes


Elements of a Portfolio Present? Missing?
1. Clear objectives – The
objectives of the
lesson/unit/course are clear
which serve as a bases for
selection

2. Explicit guidelines for selection


– what, when, where, how are
products/documented
performances selected?
3. Comprehensible criteria – the
criteria against which the
portfolio is graded must be
understood by the learners.

4. Selective significant pieces –


The portfolio includes only the
selected significant materials.

5. Student’s reflection – There is


evidence that students
reflected on their learning.

6. Evidence of student
participation in selection of
content of portfolio – There is
proof that students took apart
in the selection of the content
of the portfolio.

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?

2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio, based on the parts, under which type of
portfolio does this fall?
Elements of a _____________________ Portfolio (Which type of portfolio?)

1. Cover Letter- “About the Author” and “What My Portfolio Shows About My Progress
as a Learner”

2. Table of Contents with numbered pages

3. Entries-both core (required items) and optional items (chosen by students).

4. Dates on all entries to facilitate proof of growth over time.

5. Drafts of aural/oral and written products and revised revisions, i.e. (first drafts and
corrected/revised versions.)

6. Student’s Reflections

3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?

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?

SHOW Your Learning Artifacts

 Sample/s of Improved Written Tests, both selected-response type and supply type.
 Sample/s of product and performance and performance assessed
 Sample/s of a rubric
 Sample/s of students’ reflection on his/her portfolio

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING Knowing the Quality teacher


EPISODE
The Teacher as a
FS 1 14 PERSON and as a
PROFESSIONAL

SPARK YOUR INTEREST

What is really like to be a TEACHER? Why is being a TEACHER


considered as one of the most respected professionals in the Philippines?
What makes a teacher differently better than any other profession? What
characterize a teacher a teacher as a person and as a professional?
This Episode will provide you a chance to observe teachers in their
own workplace at school in order to answer the questions asked.
TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOME
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the personal qualities and competences of effective classroom teachers;
and
 Enumerate the professional characteristics of practicing teachers observed as based
on the professional standards and code of ethics for the profession.

REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS

“My Teacher, My Hero” was a banner during the World Teacher’s Day
celebration in the Philippines in the years past. Are Filipino teachers, real
heroes? What do you think? Why?
My answer is YES! Here are my reasons.
Personal Qualities of Filipino Teachers
To be a teacher in the Philippines is a challenging profession. Teachers serve
the country just like any other hero. To be a teacher requires a lot of personal and
professional qualities. These qualities make an excellent Filipino teacher an
exceptional professional.
First, the teacher must have innate qualities or attributes that are exemplary
and are fitted to be teachers. These are natural tendencies of a person. Here are
some of the qualities and attributes that distinctly characterized a teacher.

Personal Qualities of Teachers and the Descriptors


Personal Qualities What the teacher IS and DOES
 Lives with dignity that This teacher is honest, has integrity, self-respect and
exemplifies self- self-discipline. Likewise, respected by students, peers
respect, integrity and and the community.
self-discipline
 Takes care of one’s  This teacher is physically, emotionally and mentally
physical, emotional healthy. Clean and neat, dresses appropriately and
and mental well-being pleasant in words and in action.
 
Lives a life inspired by This teacher behaves according to the personal spiritual
spiritual principles and beliefs that are not contrary to the norms, mores and
beliefs tradition of the community.
 Exhibits 
deep This teacher is mentally alert, makes correct decision,
knowledge and intelligent to be able to acquire new knowledge, skills
understanding across and values needed in order to teach. She/he has the
disciplines ability to learn new things, re-learn old knowledge in
new ways, and un-learn knowledge, skills and values
that are no longer applicable to the current times.
 Recognizes own This teacher sets high goals for himself/herself, but
strength with humility remains humble and willing to share success. He/she is
confident of doing task but does not consider self to be
better than others all the time.
 Perseveres  This teacher is calm in the midst of chaos, remains
in
challenging situation steadfast under pressure, does not easily give up and
adjust to different situations.
 Demonstrates 
a This teacher volunteers tasks for others, always willing
natural action to work to share, extends help willingly, accepts responsibility,
together with others tolerant of other people, and gives up time for the group.

Not everyone has these qualities, hence not everyone can be a good teacher. As the
old saying goes; “Teachers are born but good teachers are both born and made.”
Professional competence of Filipino Teachers
Going to teacher training institutions and earning a teaching degree mean
developing a professional teacher like you. You can only become a professional
teacher if you earn a degree to teach in either elementary level or high school level.
You should also earn license to teach by passing a licensure examination for
teachers. While studying in college you are learning the ropes of becoming a
professional teacher. You learn the content courses including the major or
specialization and the professional courses including the pedagogy courses. Your
professional courses include experimental learning courses that include Field Study
1, Field Study 2 and Teaching Internship. These are Important in your preparation
to become professional teachers.
So what are the professional competencies that every teacher should have?
You will find these in the matrix that follow.

Professional Competencies of Filipino Teachers


Professional Competencies What the Teacher DOES
 Abides by the code of ethics for the 
This teacher practices the rules and
profession conduct of professional teachers.

So, it is not easy to become a professional teacher. The demand is great. A


qualified professional teacher then is like a HERO.
Now you are ready to identify if the enumerated characteristics are found
among the teachers you are going to observe.
There are two observation activities in this Episode. Activity 1 will identify
the Personal Characteristics of the Teacher and Activity 2 will identify the
Professional Competencies of the Teacher.

FIELD STUDY 1 LEARNING EPISODE Towards Teacher Quality:
Developing a Global
FS1 15 Teacher of the 21ST Century

SPARK Your Interest


Moving towards teacher quality? Wanted! A global teacher of the 21 st
century!
In 2013, a Global Status Index was determined by Varkey GEMS Foundation
and revealed significant findings. There were 21 countries surveyed which
represented the major continents of the world. In most countries that participated,
it was found out that like the Philippines, teaching is the most sought profession. It
was comparable to being a social worker, librarians, nursing and even doctors.
Majority of the parents asked, answered that they encourage their children to
become teachers. To them, teaching is one of the most respected and trusted
profession.
However, with the change in global landscape, the 21 st century teachers must
have the competence to address the new learning environment, the new learning
contents, the processes of learning and how these are facilitated and the new types
of learners.
Hence, we need the type of teachers, a glocal 21st century Filipino teacher.
(Global Teacher Status Index p. 123 Teaching Profession)

TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcome


At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 Describe the personal qualities and competencies of a glocal classroom teachers of
the 21st century; and
 Design a learner-centered classroom for the 21 st century learners with learning
spaces that are safe, that allows creativity and use of ICT.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials


FILIPINO GLOCAL TEACHER
A survey of ASEAN countries and beyond tends to show that there are three
major responsibilities of teachers. These are (1) Actual Teaching. (2) Management of
Learning and (3) Administrative Work.
While the number of actual teaching hours per day varies all over the world,
in our country, teaching in the public schools requires six hours of actual teaching,
that includes administrative work such as management of learning per da. The two
hours of the working day is allotted to administrative work such as scoring and
recording learners’ outputs, making reports, filling forms, preparing for the next
day’s activity and performing other administrative tasks. The previous episode on
the teacher, reminded us of the qualities and competencies mentioned earlier.
Teachers should be multi-literate, multi-cultural, multi-talented, innovative and
creative. The future Filipino teacher like you shall act locally but think globally.
“Teach local, reach global” means that the teacher brings diverse experiences
in the classroom with the various skills to live and work as citizens of a global
society. What teachers do in the local communities impacts the larger community.
As global citizens, the work begins, where the teachers are, thus a “global” teacher.

Towards Quality Glocal teachers


Quality teachers are characterized by different attributes and skills needed in
st
the 21 century education. Partnership 21 identified (1) Global awareness, (2)
Financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy, and (4) Civic and Health
Literacy which require:
1. Learning and Innovative Skills
2. Information, Media and Technology Skills
3. Life and Career Skills

More specifically, quality teachers are competent teachers who can


demonstrate exemplary mastery of knowledge, skills, values and dispositions
relative to the following characteristics:
1. Understand one’s own cultural identity and rootedness
2. Knows and integrates global dimensions in the subject area
3. Engages learners in the learning processes
4. Uses real life local and global examples
5. Values the inputs of culturally and linguistically diverse learners
6. Models social responsibilities in local and global content
7. Encourage learners to find appropriate actions to improve local and global the
conditions, and
8. Creates a learning environment that encourages creativity and innovations.

The Challenges of the Quality Glocal Teachers for the 21 st Century


One of the major challenges of quality teachers is to “create a learning
environment that encourages creativity and innovations among learners.” With it,
comes the management of learning in such environment. These are required skills
for a global teacher.
Majority of the current classrooms provides learning spaces that can hardly
prepare the 21st century learners for the development of the 21st century skills.
Since the 21st century classroom is learner-centered, the teacher acts as a
facilitator of learning. Students no longer study each subject in isolation, but they
work on interdisciplinary projects that cover several subject areas. Learning is no
longer for memorizing and recalling of information but on learning how to learn.
Thus classroom designs should respond to the 21 st century learning. More so,
quality teachers should be changing their roles from teaching in isolation to co-
teaching, team teaching and collaboration with students and peers.
A new and creative design of classrooms by the teachers is needed as well as
the management of learning. These are the two teacher qualities needed to address
the new roles of teachers.
How should a new classroom be? Here are some suggestions on the sex
elements of a new classroom:
1. Flexibility of furniture and space
2. Collaborative learning
3. Facilitation of movement
4. Foster creativity
5. Use of technology
6. Provision of light and bright colors
7.
With the classroom structure, a quality teacher should be able to
manage learner under a very conducive learning environment. Teacher
should use effective classroom management strategies that will ensure
productive learning.
Quality teacher should manage learning in an enhanced classroom by
seeing it to it that learners are:
- Organized,
- Orderly,
- Focused,
- Attentive,
- On task, and
- Are learning.
This will take much of your skills, experience and patience. The two
important factors that may affects learning management are the use of
technology and the diversity of learners.

FS 1 16 Philosophy of
Education

SPARK YOUR INTEREST

One thing asked of teacher applicants in the Department of Education is to


write their philosophy of education. This means that they have to write their
concept of the nature of the learner, how that learner learns and how that learner
ought to live life meaningfully. Based on these philosophical concepts, the teacher
applicants describe how they ought to relate to the learner, what to teach and how
to teach so that the learner learns and lives life happily and meaningfully.

TARGET YOUR INTENTED LEARNING OUTCOMES


At the end of these Episode, I must be able to:

 Determine prevailing philosophies of education based on DepEd Vision and Mission


statements, core values and mandate, K to 12 Curriculum Framework and Guide and
RA 10533;
 Cite teacher’s teaching behaviors and the philosophies of education on which these
behaviors are founded; and
 Articulate my philosophy of teaching.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials

We’ are beneficiaries of a rich philosophical heritage passed on to us


by great thinkers of the past and of the present. The way teachers relate to
learners and the way they teach are anchored on philosophies of education.
Basic documents such as the vision and mission statements, core values and
mandate of the Department of Education and the features of the K to 12 Curriculum
as contained in Section 3 of RA 1053 and the K to 12 Curriculum Guide are
manifestations or expressions of the philosophies of education of the country. They
state the standards and the outcomes of education towards which all curricular
activities and teaching-learning should be directed
