This document describes a teacher's observation of alternative assessment tools used in different subject areas. The teacher observed classes in English, Filipino, and Edukasyon sa Pagpapakatao and secured copies of the assessment rubrics used. Most teachers used analytic rubrics to assess writing products and performances. Analytic rubrics broke down skills into dimensions to provide targeted feedback.

ANALYZE 1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics, which one was more used? Why do you think that type of rubric was used more? The type of rubric that was used more is the Analytic Rubric. I think the reason why the Resource Teacher uses it more is because it allows him to give each students a separate score for each category or criteria. That being said, analytic rubric more likely gives a fair scoring and the students will also be able to assess themselves as to what went wrong. ANALYZE 2. Based on your answer in number 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used by the Resource Teacher? I think, for me, the scoring made and used by the Resource Teacher is really efficient and useful because as a teacher, if you want to cover all your bases and if you are willing to put in the time to really get clear on exactly what level of performance look like, analytic rubric is the best tool to use, and that is what our Resource Teacher just did. ANALYZE 3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or performance without scoring rubrics? Explain. Yes, it will make a big difference in assessing the students work if the teacher would rate the product or performance without scoring rubrics, because it will probably be biased or subjective. If there is no rubrics, there wont be some sort of a guide as to how will the students be scored, and it will also promote unfair judgement or scoring. ANALYZE 4. If you ere to improve on one of the scoring rubrics, which one and how? If I were to improve on one of the scoring rubrics used, I would improve the holistic rubric. I think it is because it is not used more than the analytic rubric, when in fact it is easier to use. I will improve it by providing a more evaluative range for each criterion so that students can see where they succeeded (or not). ANALYZE 5. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper- and-pencil test, be considered an authentic form of assessment? Explain your answer. Yes, essays or other forms of written requirement can still be considered as authentic assessment because these type of tasks allow more ways to demonstrate one’s understanding. It gives meaning to assessment tasks, and students are learning skills in cognitive. Also, the results of the essays or other form of written requirements are tangible, which means they demonstrate student learning in a salient manner. ANALYZE 6. Can rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent learners? Do rubrics contribute to assessment AS learning (self- assessment)? What if there were no rubrics in assessment? Yes, rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent learners because they have the guide as to what they are going to do and not. They will know where to focus on and improve them while doing the task at hand. It can also contribute to assessment AS learning since they will be able to work on their own using the guide which is the rubrics. If there were no rubrics in assessment, the learning of the students will not be measured accordingly. ANALYZE 7. Does the Scoring Rubric in the FS Book 1 help you come up with better output? Definitely, yes. The scoring rubric in the FS Book 1 helped me come up with better output because it directed me with what to do. The rubric provided in this book serve as my compass in journeying the entire Field Study since day 1 up to now. REFLECT Are authentic assessment tools and tasks new? Reflect on your experiences of tests for all the years as a student? gfjhbhb Thank You!
