OBSERVATION/S:

Student-to-Student Interaction Pattern:


While my resource teacher was giving a lesson, the students took a few moments to
discuss about their personal lives, causing the room to become boisterous, but they quickly
returned to their lectures

Student-to-Teacher Interaction Pattern:


They are courteous while speaking with their instructor; however, when my resource teacher was
delivering a lesson, they took a few moments to chat about their personal lives, causing the class
to become boisterous, but they quickly returned their attention to their lectures.

Teacher-to-Student Interaction Pattern:

The instructor's contact with her pupils in terms of the students asking questions concerning the
lesson to their teacher. My resource teacher saw that a few of the students were not raising their
hands to engage in the lesson, so she encouraged them to do so by asking them questions,
eliciting their opinions, and eliciting their thoughts on the issue.

Student-to-Non-Teaching Personnel Interaction Patterns:

When students engage with non-teaching personnel, they demonstrate respect via their actions.
"Ate,Kuya," they call them in the canteen.

Teacher-to-Teacher Interaction Patterns:

When the two instructors converse, they call each other as "Ma'am and Sir."
ENRICHING ACTIVITIES

Create a scenario where any of the above interactions occur in the school. Make a script
of their dialogue, bearing in mind that this partnership is built on developing a climate of respect,
harmony, and cooperation

MY SCRIPT
Teacher: Please lead the prayer before we begin the new lesson, Kristine?

Student: Thank you, Jesus, for this day and all the benefits you have bestowed upon us.

Please forgive us for our sins and lead us today, Amen.

Good morning, Class! Teacher: Student: Good morning, Professor!

Teacher: What was the purpose of the previews lesson before we started a new one?

Ma'am, it's all about "KAYARIAN NG SALITA," says the student.

Teacher: Excellent! Who among you is familiar with the "Antas ng Pang Uri?"

Ma'am! said the student. Lantaypo!

Teacher: Excellent! Is there another response? Ma'am! said the student. Pahambing po!

Teacher: You're also really excellent! Is there another response? Ma'am! said the student.

Pasukdol po!

Teacher: You're also really excellent! Give them a standing ovation!

Student 1: OK, ok! I’ll quit, I lose, “siret nah”

Student 2: Hahahaha, wait until the door opens and then you’ll see whether it is a girl or

boy, gets!!!

YOUR ANALYSIS

Why is a classroom a miniature of greater society?

A classroom is a miniature of a greater society because it is where all basic and formal learning
begins. Where all the proper and acquisition of knowledge takes place. It is a part of the society
that engages in promoting and preparing learners for more and broader task, role and obligation.

What is found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?
Discussion and interaction among the learners and the teachers in promoting knowledge;
unity, cooperation and creativeness in accomplishing given task and responsibilities;
having a harmonious relationship on each and every member of the class and the facilities
and equipment for learning and development.
_

Peace Concept On Focus:

COOPERATION

You are able to find pleasure in working with another person because you consider this person
Through partnership, the task is done cooperatively and more easily.
Discuss with your FS classmates your thoughts on Cooperation and Partnership in
Curriculum Design. Then write down your thoughts as well as those of your classmates. Please
use the space below.

“TWO IS BETTER THAT ONE”

In designing a curriculum we need the help of others most especially experts in order
to come up with a very effective, progressive and helpful curriculum. There must be a
warm and harmonious relationship among them to ensure that these curriculum must be
properly and actively implemented. There should be a smooth flow of cooperation in
each whoever design such curriculum in order to make it organize.
EPISODE 2

MY OBSERVATION REPORT

Observations:

During class discussions, the teacher always corrects the errors of the students. She also gave
some exercises to the students to enrich their knowledge on the topic they've discussed .

Situation The Dialogue


The teacher discusses about the topic Student: Ma’am!
speed and velocity. She started her class Teacher: Very good! Another answer?

difference between speed and velocity.
She called some students to answer the
question but they were not able to answer
it. Instead of being disappointed the
teacher tells the right answer to her
students. The teacher show her students
on how to solve the problem step by step.
The teacher then gave the students a
sample problems for the students to solve
then let their students answered it on the
board.
(Describe how the teacher communicates the lesson and how the learners are responding to the
teacher. Take note of the manner the teacher accepts or rejects the responses of the learners. You
may present your observation through direct quotes from the teachers and learners in the
dialogue.)

Personal Reflections on the dialogue

Based on the situation we can infer that the teacher really wants her students to learn. She
was there to guide her students in every possible way so that they can learn from her.

YOUR ANALYSIS

How important are dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom in


terms of students’ learning?
Dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom is very important since it
is the way the teacher will know how to address the student’s needs. It is also the way the
students need to express their self like clarifying and asking some questions to their
teachers regarding the topic. In a dialogue, the teacher should always makes her
discussion fun and exciting in that way, the students will be interested not only about the
topic but also in making conversation about the topic with the teacher and their
classmates.

Dialogue can make the discussion more interactive but the teacher will make sure to
control the allotted time for the discussion. Conversation in the classroom will also
make the bond of the teacher and students stronger.

What learning benefits could teachers and students draw from intentional
classroom dialogue?

The dialogue will greatly benefits both teacher and students especially in their interpersonal
and communication skills. It will develop their thought process and their confidence in
conversing to other people. It will also improves their listening skills and their attention
especially during discussions.
Peace Concept On Focus:

DIALOGUE

Curriculum design is not only a matter of brilliant planning. It needs a constant effort to unite
This effort is successful when the people involved believes in the power of dialogue.

Discuss with your FS classmates your thoughts on Dialogue in Curriculum Design. Then
write down your thoughts as well as those of your classmates. Please use the space below.

Dialogue is very important in a classroom because it can benefit both teachers and
students. It is also very important in curriculum design because teachers are one of the
curriculum makers, in this they can freely express their ideas to each other on how to
improve the curriculum.
EPISODE 3

Designing the curriculum and the Learning Activities

YOUR TARGET

At the end of this activity, the students should be able to deliberate on the principles
involved in designing the curriculum and the learning activities provided.

YOUR ANALYSIS

Why should teachers know about curriculum design?

            - It is a responsibility of the teacher to know


the curriculum because it serves as a basis on making an objective for proper discussion
and to be able to develop a curriculum design to meet the needs of the learners for
better understanding. And the teachers also will be the one who will implement the
curriculum that is why they must be aware about the given curriculum.

What do most principles and theories of curriculum development have in


common? How is this commonality expressed or spelled out in the
curriculum of the class you have observed?

           - The most principle and theories of curriculum in the class that I observed was the
principle of teaching, learning, listening and understanding.

Peace Concept On Focus:

Express yourself and color your world

From your FS experience, keep in touch with your most meaningful learning and
express it through abstract visual representation. Please use appropriate colors to represent
your feeling and significant learning.

         Being a teacher is not an easy


task to do. You need to have more patience because you are handling different
character, behavior and character of the students. In teaching process, the
teacher must think of different ways, strategies or teaching style to motivate
students to participate in order to promote effective learning and for the students
to acquire knowledge. And mostly, teachers must be aware of his/her action
because teachers are serve as a role model not only in the classroom but also in
the community because teachers live with dignity and dedication.

YOUR ANALYSIS

How important is the involvement of all stakeholders of the school in the school’s
programs and activities?

All stakeholders of the schools are very important to get involved in the school
activities because they are the one who will monitor the needs of such activities. They
are responsible in planning and the preparation of different activities and most
importantly the security of the students. And also, with the involvement of the
stakeholders it motivates students to participate well in the program and to do best in
every task given because of efforts done while preparing such program.
What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of
cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school?

Peace Concept On Focus:

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

All life forms on earth are connected to each other for mutual support. This is recognition th

There must be a harmonious relationship between all the stakeholders and must actively
participate in all school activities to promote unity and if everyone involves in
improving students

Discuss with your FS classmates your thoughts on Cooperation and Collaboration among
school stakeholders. Then write down your thoughts as well as those of your classmates. Please
use the space below.

Cooperation and collaboration of stakeholders fosters learning. Each of the stakeholders


in the curriculum help each other on order to achieve a common goal. The interaction
between stakeholders gives a big impact for a successful curriculum; this cooperation
can develop firmer their own self-identification. Each stakeholder will realize that the
curriculum will not function well if there's one missing stakeholder. There is no perfect

curriculum but with the help of each other, hand in hand we can come up with better

ideas for the betterment of the school.

YOUR ANALYSIS

How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their curricular plans
to specific theories and principles of curriculum development?

-It is important for the teacher to anchor their curricular plans in order for them to have
guide in delivering classroom instruction. It is also because the existing theories are
proven to be effective in a class of diverse students. And it is also helpful for the
teachers to use theories because it can help them save time because they don’t have to
experiment as to what strategy is applicable to their class.

Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound
your thoughts.

Administrators such as the principal should be also involved in curricular planning


because they have the power to control the schedule.
From your FS experience, take a look into your significant learning and personal
reflection. Express it in a simple poem. Then share it with your classmates and your FS teacher.

Take, for example, Math, which is linked to Science since the two are intertwined,
particularly in the fields of physics and chemistry. Because the principles presented
today are results of earlier endeavors, math may be used in conjunction with history.
Even history is linked to other curriculum content such as MAPeH (we need history to
understand the origins of music, arts, and games in MAPeH); Literature
(understanding the past will also help us understand our current literature); and Values
(understanding the past will help us understand our current literature) (we will
understand the change in Values through History). In another area, English and
Filipino are similar in that they have almost identical rules for sentence formation,
parts of speech, and so on. They both have something to do with literature. Science is
also linked to MAPeH in various fields, such as health.

Teacher’ Objectives:

Describe the Strategies:

the teaching strategy used was discovery method and it was accompanied by different
resources like presentation and graphic representation. It allows students to jot down
notes the important facts or ideas related to the concept. It meets the interests and
needs of the learners and it was effective to achieve the teachers objectives.

Describe the Assessment Tools Used:

The assessment method used by the teacher was a formative test and it was administered after
the discussion. The intent was to know whether the students understood well the lesson or to
measure the retention of the students.

YOUR ANALYSIS

Why do teachers need to align the objectives, strategies, and assessment?

When objectives, strategies and assessment are properly aligned it means that the
teacher does the right thing in educating the students. In learning objectives it is where
the teacher will think of what he/she wants their students to know and in strategies it is
the reinforcement of learning objectives and prepares students for assessment. While
assessment it is where the different kind of tasks will be given and assess if the
students have achieved the learning objective. Therefore they need to be closely
aligned so that they reinforce one another.

How should teachers align their objectives, strategies, and assessment? Suggest some
strategies.

Since objectives are the basis of instruction so the teacher must prepare objectives that
are capable of doing by the students and then provide teaching strategies that are catchy
to the eyes of the learners in order for them to focus on the discussion and will actively
participate in every task given. Lastly, assessment should be clear and aligned to the
objectives. When assessment is aligned with learning objectives it increases the
probability that the teacher will provide students with the opportunities to learn and
practice the knowledge that will be required on the various assessment.
YOUR REFLECTION

What has been your most meaningful experience in this episode? What makes it
meaningful to you? How could such an experience help you become a better teacher?

My most meaningful experience is that I was able to observe the different types of students and
I can see the pressure or the stress that the teacher might felt when dealing with the students.
And also in this episode I was able to learn the principle and theories of curriculum development
which is planning, implementation and evaluation that helps us understand the process on how to
have better learning outcomes. Such experiences made me realized that being a teacher is not an
easy task to do because you will be handling different characteristics of the students. As a
teacher you must be that someone who is patient and open-minded to the things that you might
encounter. In my observation, I learned that to become an effective teacher you must first know
your students what are their interest or needs and think of different strategies or methods when
teaching a lesson and motivation also must considered in order for the students to actively
participate in the class and to be able to create a productive classroom. Being a teacher is not just
to impart learning to the students but being a teacher means being second parents so teachers
must be passionate to their position and act as a model. Lastly, the teachers must teach the
students the good moral and right conduct in order for them to become a good citizen and teach
on how to apply their learning in the school into a real world situation.

Your Analysis

Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant
was/were the assessment method/s used?

Yes, there is a variety of assessment method used by the teacher by using the different
types of assessment methods depending to the learning objectives. The assessment tools used by
the teacher are placement assessment, creation type of performance-based assessment, quizzes;
oral recitation, self-report and observation were relevant to the topic or subject matter. Each
method has specified purposes, tasks and focuses to the learning skills of the learners. They are
relevant to the “learning objectives”, which will be determined the three domain of objectives are
being attained or not in order to have a basis to the revision in her instruction.

Do you think the expected students’ learning behaviors indicated in the


objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment
methods?

Yes, in my point of view the expected students learning behavior indicated in the objectives
were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment methods or tools used by
the teacher.
The appropriateness of assessment method matches the learning objectives of what is intended
to measure. It simply means that they are anchored to each other. Without the learning
objectives, the learning behavior will not be tested because one of the domains of objectives is
affective which serves as learning behavior. A student show their interest, willingness to
participate, appreciation and adopts a long-term value system during class discussion or even
in activity time.

Your Reflections

Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings about the importance of
the use of appropriate assessment methods in the classroom.

Assessment tools are tools in assessing and evaluating students’ performance. It


leads to a continuously to a continuously cycle of improved students learning. The
appropriateness of assessment method is depending in the learning objectives the attainment of
which is what you are assessing.
Traditionally, teachers used pen-and-paper objective test to assess students’
mastery of a given concept, substantive subject matter. This assessment strategy it either teacher-
made test or standardized test and it has a specific correct answer or response. As time goes by, it
has given rise the concept and turn to alternative assessment that includes the performance-based
assessment and more authentic assessment-wherein the students are being judge through actual
performance of essential and observation skills, creation of products that are grounded in real
context and constraints. They assess directly by using rubrics.

What students and teachers can gain from appropriate assessment tools?

   It’s indispensable these methods to determine whether or not the learning


objectives have been attained, to measure how well students have understood the lesson,
and in able to what teacher may decide that some teaching method were effective than
others based on the conclusion. In short, it provides qualitative information that helps
teacher determine how they might improve courses.
                        We have lots to consider in assessing students like a valid assessment tool
matches with learning targets, considering the multiple intelligence and varied learning
style, assessment of learning must be done in a variety of ways. It should never be used as
punishment or disciplinary measure and it should free from any discrimination, biases,
and stereotypes or subjectivity.
                        It is highly need inside the classroom so as not only to find-out what
students know or what to do but it requires also to show what they can do and not simply
tell what they know/ would do. It is more authentic if they directly experience it. That’s
simply, “learning by doing”.

teacher and confer with your FS Teacher. When the questions are finalized write them down on
the sheet below. Spare some space between questions where you will write down the teacher’s
response to each question.

How do you use authentic assessments?

Different modes of assessments are conducted upon examining students' ability to use

their knowledge in applying what they have learned in Mathematics in a real-world

context. Open-response questions are conducted during discussions, activities that

demonstrate what they have learned and tasks like solving in groups, compilation of their

works throughout the school year and other tasks that will help them assess themselves

and their work objectively are administered

What are some examples of authentic assessments you have used?

Open-response questions, portfolios, group projects, and self-assessment rubrics.

What makes authentic assessment results valid and reliable?

In scoring students 'performances, a scoring rubric developed standardized

guarantees an accurate, consistent and fair judgment of the students' performance.

Why use authentic assessment?

Using authentic assessments directly measures students' ability to use their acquired

knowledge and skills in real world situations. It provides reliable and valid results,

monitoring students' weaknesses and strengths, allowing them to interpret information

and relate it to their own prior knowledge -reflect on their own work and judge how well
they have performed in relation to the assessment criteria.

How did you feel about the teacher’s experience in the use of authentic assessment?

The teacher used the authentic assessment by showing real objects to his students while
delivering the lesson. He also used real life situation when he gave examples or discus
something regarding on the lesson they tackle to show the actual appearance and actual
setting so that the students can easily cope up to the lesson.
What do you think have been the gains enjoyed by the teacher and his/her students from
using authentic assessment?

The teacher chooses to use real object in delivering the topic instead of just showing
picture in describing something related to the topic. He uses apparatus, gadgets, and
correct example in showing the exact structure, composition, function, and exact
appearance of the object to help him deliver the lesson well and to help the students to
understand what the teacher is pointing out. Authenticity is always present in every
information he is giving to his students.

Which part of the teacher’s use of authentic assessment do you feel like improving or
revising?

My Review
Notes

Describe in bullets the performance-based activity you observe.

A. Quiz
- The teacher asked her students to prepare for their scheduled test and told them to
keep away everything except their pen, paper and notes for basis.
- She then wrote four problems on the blackboard.
- After writing the problems, she asked them to count from 1-4. Later on, she
instructed them to answer only the number which they'd count on.
- The performance-based activity is effective for it prevents them from copying with
their seatmates and gets to work independently.
- The teacher roams around and sees to it that they were doing what they're told.
- The activity went well.

B. Discussion Board Work


- The teacher discussed about the angles of depression and elevation.
- She then gave examples in which open-ended response questions were asked and the
students willingly answer them orally.
- After presenting some examples, another set of problems were given. This time
the students will have to work with it on themselves.
- The students, who volunteered, showed their solutions on the board and those
students who were not called tries to solve the problem on their seats.
- The performance-based activity is quite effective for it kept the students focused and
attentive.

Do you think your originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can
appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? /Why not?

Teachers need to give attention to the students’ process oriented tasks because this
method of assessment focuses on the process itself and especially it is based on
observable behaviours. It involves direct examination or observation of students’
ability to stay on the task and ability to use their knowledge, skills and how they
behave while the performance is ongoing.

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

Teachers need to assess them in this method of assessment in order to measure the
ability of the students to perform the task that corresponds to the given instructional
objectives and to know if the students follow the given instructions. Also, to measure
how was the understanding of the students in this method of assessment and to
determine their difficulties.
In what conditions can the process-oriented performance assessment be used more
appropriately?

The process-oriented performance assessment is used appropriately in these

conditions: it must have the purpose and who will be the target, there must be

learning competencies considering the three (3) domains of learning. The instruction

must be clearly stated to the students, and also have a scoring rubrics to have an

accurate, consistent and fair judgement and this must be stated to the students in

order for them to know the standards of the task given to them and also to motivate

them.

Your Reflection:

In this FS which is the Field Study 5 is about the Learning Assessment


Strategies. We are going to observe our resource teacher assigned to us on
what methods and strategies of assessment she will be using in assessing her
students. We are assigned on this task to have experiences for us to learn on
how we are going to assess our students when we will become a teacher
someday.

As I was assigned to the class I observed that the practice teacher assigned
to her whom she was assisting was using variety of assessment methods and
strategies in her class. The teacher was using different assessment tools and
strategies appropriate to the assessment methods she will be using related to
their lessons. She was assessing the class before they will start their new
lessons as motivation. She let her students to recite if she was throwing
questions during discussions about their lessons or recalling their past lessons.
She was giving announced quizzes, exams, and activities. She always checking
the notebooks of her students to monitor if the class take note important details
about their lessons and if they made their assignments. Through her
assessment strategies she was assessing the understanding and learning
performances of her students if they really do goods in their class. Based on my
observations the teacher was really using variety of assessment methods and
strategies appropriately to her class.

The Field Study 5 is the application on what we have learned on


Assessment of Student Learning 1 and 2 Prof.Ed subjects. Through this
observational task in FS5 I learned a lot on what assessment methods and
strategies appropriate to use in measuring the understanding and learning of the
students. Also, I learned how assessment influences learning and provides fair
and credible reporting of students' achievements on the lessons being
discussed to them.

 The students are required to perform a task through product.

 The teacher should provide necessary scaffolding for students so that they

will understand the task easily. S/he should provide feedback and coaching

or it’s simply s/he needs to monitor student’s progress.

 We should follow the steps in planning for product-performance based

assessment

Set the competency to be assessed.

Set the task to be performed by the students.

Set the criteria in scoring the task.

 The task should have complexity of skills.

Your Analysis:

Do you think your originally designed product-oriented performance assessment can


appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? /Why not?

Yes, because the product-oriented performance assessment design is align to the


learning targets for the students. The plan focuses on what to assess that reflects to
the learning targets. It is appropriate because it covers all domain from cognitive to
psychomotor.
Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they
need to assess them?

Teacher needs to give attention to the students’ product-oriented assessment because


it provides evidence that they can use or transferred their learning to real life
situation and an evidence of students learning or understanding. It determines
whether or not his/her students can perform a task through product or having an
output. It also tests if students can do a task on their own. It develops student’s extra-
ordinary skills like creativity; being artistic that reflects their personality or identity.

In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be used more


appropriately?

There are many conditions to be considered in product-oriented performance


assessment but always depend in the learning target you want to assess. It should
provide complexity of cognitive and skills for students and authentic for students.

Your Reflections

Write your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights, or new
understanding from your experience in using authentic assessment.

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 base it on the learners and the
learning objectives for it to be successfully done.
                Using authentic assessment, students learn by themselves because they
experience the task in firsthand, they apply their knowledge and understanding in real
world application or setting. It is simply students learn by doing. It is very essential to use
authentic assessment because it measures student’s ability, skills or proficiencies of
students depending on what the intended to assess. It develops their extra-ordinary skills
and will encourage and motivate them to do a complex task on their own. Nowadays,
both process-and-product performance based assessment are very important; it tells not
only what students know but how they can do through actual demonstration and produce
a product/output.
            As future teacher, we should be skilled in choosing and developing assessment
methods appropriate instructional decision. In this field of study, it’s clear for me the
importance of having an assessment inside the classroom form traditional, performance-
based to authentic assessment. There’s a lots of methods in assessing students but it
always depends on what we assessed.
