Analysis
1. Was there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant
was/were the assessment method/s used?
Yes, there are assessment tools or methods used by the teacher relevant to the topic
but, I think the assessments used are not really enough in assessing pupils learning.
Because, it is more on traditional assessments it is really good if it is more on authentic
assessments for them to be able to retain the topics easily.
2. Do you think the expected students learning behaviours indicated in the
objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those
assessment methods?
Yes, it is properly and appropriately assessed because the results of the assessment is
good and and I can see that the pupils have really learned from their discussion or from the
topic taught to them.
My Reflections
Being a teacher it is our responsible to make an appropriate assessment tools
to be used in assessing students learning inside the classroom not just to test or
to measure their learning or knowledge they have acquired but, also to measure
how effective we are as a teacher. Especially in elementary that we really need to
do a great effort for us to know if we really have shared or impart knowledge to
the young minds.

Analysis
1. Do you think the teachers learning objectives was appropriately assessed by
your test items?
Yes, the teachers learning objectives was appropriately assessed by my test
items because through that they able to analyze properly the correct answer
asked in the following items.
2. Why do you have to study the teachers learning objectives prior to developing
an assessment tool?
In making assessment tool for the learners we really need to know the objectives
or goal of the teacher in a specific topic for us to be able to make a good and
appropriate test items for them.
Reflection
Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace
Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.
If you are a teacher you should have the attitude of being fair or have the
concept of fairness. Fairness which means you needs to be equal in dealing your
students/pupils all the time. Like, in giving compliment and feedback to them,
also you should be fair in making your assessment tool, you should make an
assessment that corresponds to the level capability of your pupils/students.
Because there are learners who are bright or intelligent and there are also who
are slow learners and late bloomer learners.
Episode 3
LOG ME
My Target
At the end of this activity, I will be informed on the principles of authentic assessment
and its usefulness in the classroom.
My way
Authentic assesment is an alternative way of assessing students learning. To be able to use
it, you must first have deep understanding of it.
My Review notes
Authentic Assessment in Action
At Sammamish High School, our staffs have dedicated our professional development to building expertise
in the key elements of problem-based learning. Previous blog entries by my colleagues have given
an overview of this process, as well as exploring how we include student voice and work withauthentic
problems. Another crucial element of successful problem-based learning is using authentic assessment
throughout all stages of a unit to constantly evaluate and improve student learning
Our staffs are still discovering how to best translate cutting edge assessment techniques into oldfashioned reporting practices. The answers aren't necessarily obvious or easy, but our early returns
suggest that the gains in student learning are certainly worth the effort.
What are your insights and feelings about new trends in classroom assessment?
Nowadays there are few teachers who are using the traditional assessment tools
in assessing students learning because, we cannot really deny the fact that
using authentic assessment tools is a great help for the pupils/students to gain
more knowledge and it is easy for the learners to retain the lessons they have
discussed because they have experience it or they are hands on.
What is your most meaningful learning from this activity?
My most meaningful learning from this activity is, through this I am able to know
that authentic assessment is a very helpful tool in assessing students
performance or learning in school that we should not depend on traditional way
of giving assessments because, authentic assessment can make the learners
think or they will be able to think comprehensively.
MY INTERVIEW NOTES
sharing of ideas I am letting them speak in the whole class of what they have discussed or I
am letting them demonstrate it on the front it depends on the activity I have given to them.
Question: Is it good to use variety of assessment methods or assessment tools in the
classroom?
Answer: Yes, it is good that we use variety of assessments methods and tools in the
classroom for us to really measure the strengths and weaknesses of the learner.
Question: How can we say that an assessment tool is accurate and valid?
Answer: We can say that an assessment is accurate and valid if it really measures the
learning of the pupils/students and it connects on the topic you have discussed to the
learner.
REFLECTIVE JOURNAL
How did you feel about the teachers experience in the use of authentic
assessment?
I think the use of authentic assessment by the teacher in her class is really a big
help and a great factor in giving the learner a good learning process.
What do you think have been the gains enjoyed by the teacher and his/her
students from using authentic assessment?
I think the gains enjoyed by teacher and students in using authentic assessment
are. First, the students enjoyed different experiences and as the same time they
are learning, for the teacher, she will enjoy the performances and presentation
of her pupils and at the same she will easily know if her pupils have learned. And
the pupils will get a variety opinions and ideas which they will enjoy or use in
their daily lives, and for the teacher, she will also learn from her students.
Which part of the teachers use of authentic assessment do you feel like
improving or revising?
I think the teachers use of authentic assessment that I feel like improving is in
the way that she use the assessment continuously and let the learners know
that experiences is still the best teacher and also in the way that she keeps on
searching for the best assessments for her pupils/learners and make that
assessment a more enjoyable.

In making this part of my field study I realized that being a teacher is not really an
easy job. Because you need to look and search for an appropriate assessments for
your students but, at the end it feels so good that after your hardships in making the
assessments you would see the worth of it if your pupils/students have gain or
learned from you. After answering this part of the field study I have learned that
using appropriate assessment can really help in the success of the transformations of
the child and in transferring of knowledge from the teacher to students, from
students to teacher and from students to students.

What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my productoriented performance assessment design?
This will be successful if it really shows the things that the pupils/students should do
to carry out the best in them.
Analysis
1. Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment
can appropriately assess the teachers learning objective? Why? Why not?
Yes, it can appropriately assess the teachers learning objective for the reason that if
we are making an assessment we are make it sure that at the end of the day you
have met you goal or objectives.
2. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students product-oriented
tasks? Why do they need to assess them?
Teachers really need to give attention to the students product-oriented tasks for
him/her to know if that pupil or learner really what she had instructed. And through it
we can see if how creative or what are the uniqueness of each of the learners.
3. In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need
more appropriately?
This kind of assessment is really need if you are going to test the capability or skills
of the pupils/students to do or to come up a good product.
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.

Plan
The organizational
plan is good.
Everything inside the
classroom is put in
the right place or
position.
They have a well
planned schedule.
They follow the
activities allotted in
each time.
The teacher makes
sure that she checks
the attendance
before she starts the
class. And records
the scores of her
pupils.
It is effective in the
sense that it gives
the pupils a

They should
maintain having a

done properly.
Analysis
1. In what area of classroom management was the teacher most effective? Which
of the supportive measures is effective? Why?
The teacher is most effective in the physical environment of the
classroom because she makes sure that everything is in proper places
and she makes sure that her pupils are comfortable inside the classroom
so that the process learning is continuous.
2. In what area of classroom management was the teacher least effective? Which
supportive measures were not effective?
Maybe, she is least effective in disciplining her learners. She disciplines them but,
not really that much, because sometimes she cant control her pupils if they noisy
or doing something.
3. Suggest for more effective ways for your answer in number 2.
I could suggest that she would give consequences to those who are not behaving.
Or talk to their parents about the behaviour of your child and make some
strategies that would help you to minimize their unusual behaviour.
Reflections
1. Describe at least 3-5 characteristics of a teacher who can establish a well
managed classroom?
A teacher that can establish a well manage classroom is someone who knows
how to deal with the attitude or behaviour his/her pupils/students, someone
who is fair to all of her/his pupils/students and someone who is flexible in and
out of the school.
2. What characteristics do you have in present that can make you an effective
classroom manager? Elaborate how these characteristics can help you.
I think the characteristic that I have that can make me an effective manager is
the attitude of being patient. Because we all know that being a teacher we
should always be patient in the attitude and behaviour of our pupils/students
that if they have done wrong you are not going to punish him/her but, you
need to give patience to listen to his/her complaints or his/her side why
he/she have done those things.
3. What characteristics do you have in present that can hamper you from
becoming an effective classroom manager? How can you overcome these
characteristics?
Episode 3
THE TEACHER AND THE COMMUNITY
19
My Target
At the end of this episode, I will gain competence in identifying possible linkages
between the school and the community, particularly those that will help attain curricular
goals.
20
While I am going around the community I really feel that the people there are giving
importance on the education of their children. And the thing that I have learned that I
have taken for granted before is, I regret those times when I am not socializing other
people which hopefully helps me in my daily life and in the future.
2. As a future teacher, what do you think will be your role in the community?
As a future teacher, I think my role in the community is I will be standing as
a leader who will leads the community in every aspect. As we all know
teachers are known to be reliable in the community that whatever is task
given to you are expected to do the best thing in that possible situation
and condition.
3. How will you encourage more community participation among teachers and
students?
I will be encouraging them by giving them benefits if a particular thing
happens if both the teachers and students would have a participation in a
possible situation.

Reflections
(My Global Teacher Song)

Title
Are you a global teacher?
Its Message:
The illustration or the clip art conveys that being a global teacher you should know
everything or you know every aspect of life. Like in the picture, you can see there is a
computer and book, it means that a teacher should not just depend on books but,
also he/she should get other opinions or additional information from the computer
and would not just stick in one information. Because a global teacher is not just
concerned in imparting knowledge but, how much knowledge she could share to
his/her pupils to make them knowledgeable one.
Next is, being a global teacher we should always have the love in teaching as well as
to our pupils as we love our own child, relative or parents. That, we should know the
strengths and weaknesses of each of our pupils/students.
Another, to be considered as global teacher you should be useful in the community
especially if there are activities in the said community and lastly, being a global
teacher you should be internationally and globally competent, that wherever you go
you are always excelling in your own way or through the skills, knowledge and values
that you have.
My Reflection:
As a global teacher you have a great responsibility in school, to your pupils/student
and to the community. As a global teacher you should not just give your service but,
give it with passion and dedication. And also as a global teacher you should be
molded as a wholesome individual that wherever you go you will still bring and
recognize by people for what you are as a teacher.

important for it helps the teachers know what the things they should do are
and what are the things that they should avoid to do. But, nowadays we
can really see that most teachers are not following with the guidelines and
policies that sometimes the cause of misunderstanding. This will help me
