Field Study 1 Learning Episode Demonstrating An Understanding Of

Research-Based Knowledge Principles


FS 1 9 Of Teaching And Learning

Observe a class with the use of the principles of learning given in revisit the
learning essentials. I will identify evidence of applications/violations of the principles of
learning. I can cite more than one evidence per principle of learning.
PRINCIPLE OF LEARNING WHAT DID THE RESOURCE TEACHER
DO TO APPLY THE PRICIPLE OF
LEARNING
1. Effective learning begins with the As a resource teacher, for a better
setting of clear and high learning of the students Teacher presents
expectations of learning outcomes. via projector about her intended learning
outcome regarding the topics.
2. Learning is an active process. Students are encouraged to use to think
hard rather than passively receive
information from the teacher. Students
are the one who formulate their own idea.
The teacher let the student to actively
participating from the class discussion
and engage in educational learning
activities
3. Learning is the discovery of The teacher relates lessons to the
personal meaning and relevance needs, interests, and problems of the
of ideas. learners. The teacher gives an
opportunity to the students to create and
share their ideas regarding the topic and
discuss it in front of the class.

4. Learning is a cooperative and a Cooperative groups work face-to-face


collaborative process. Learning is and learn to work as a team. In small
enhanced in an atmosphere of groups, students can share strengths and
cooperation and collaboration. also develop their weaker skills.

ANALYZE:
1. What principles of learning were most applied? Least applied?
MOST APPLIED:

 For me, I think it is the principle of learning number 2, 3 and 4 because as


I have observe the students are able to adopt knowledge and receive the
learning when the teacher make the learning to be active means that
when there is a process of exchanging thoughts, ideas and experience
and also skills. The way that the students will able to learn by doing it by
their selves is the way they can express it and learn it and execute it to
their learning process.

LEAST APPLIED:
 However the least applied is the principle learning number 1 which is the
Effective learning begins with the setting of clear and high expectations of
learning outcomes. Teachers have their own way to execute learning to
the class, so therefor there is a lot of conflict in between the materials that
they will be able to provide the whole week.

Give instances where this/these principle/s could have been applied?


REFLECT:
From among the principles of learning, which one do you think is the most important?
 For me the most important part is the cooperative and a collaborative
process. Learning is enhanced in an atmosphere of cooperation and
collaboration. Because there are more that students who are more than
active, they are more absorbing the enjoyable learning environment where
they can function as well they are being facilitate by their teacher from
what they doing right or wrong and they are becoming more collaborative
to other information and idea to conclude in the best ways.
ACTIVITY 9.2 IDENTIFYING LEARNING OUTCOMES THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH
LEARNING COMPETENCIES.
OBSERVE:
Observe a class, this time focusing on how the learning outcomes were stated.
Determine if the learning outcome/s was/were achieved or not. Give evidence.
1. Write the learning outcomes stated in the lesson.

ACTIVITY 9.3 DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN INDUCTIVE AND DETUCTIVE


METHODS OF TEACHING
OBSERVE:
I will observe one resources teacher with the use of this observation sheet. Using the
guide questions. I shall reflect on my observation and analysis.
TEACHER-CENTERED STUDENT-CENTERED
Did teacher lecture all the time? Were students involved in the teaching-
learning process? How? Or were they
mere passive recipients of instruction?

Was the emphasis on the mastery of the Was the emphasis on the students’
lesson or on the test? Prove. application of the lesson in real life? Give
proofs.

Was class atmosphere competitive? Was class atmosphere collaborative?


Why? Why?
Did teacher focus only on one Did the teacher connect lesson to other
discipline/subject? disciplines/subjects?

What teaching-learning practice shows that teaching approach was:


A) Constructivist- connected to pat experiences of learners; learners constructed
new lesson meanings

- the student seek information by their own

B) Inquiry-based

- students engage in their own learning, they are given a task by their teacher

C) Developmentally appropriate-learning activities fit the developmental stage of


children
- the students given an activity which is a group reporting

D) Reflective
- The teacher ask question to the students during and after discussion to let
speak their thoughts and ideas.

E) Inclusive- No learner was excluded; teacher taught everybody.


- all students are participating in all activities like group reporting.
F) Collaborative- Students worked together
- the students share ideas to each other and do the task given to them
together.

G) Integrative – lesson was multidisciplinary – e.g in science, math concepts were


taught.

ANALYZE:
1. What are possible consequences of teaching purely subject matter for mastery
and for the test?

2. If you were to reteach the classes you observe, would you be teacher-centered
or student-centered? Why?

REFLECT:
Reflect on principles of teaching worth applying

LINK THEORY TO PRACTICE

and the method used in class.
Field Study 1 Learning Episode The Instructional Cycle
FS 1 10
ACTIVITY 10.1 APPLYING THE GUIDING PRINCIPLES IN THE SELECTION AND
USE OF STRATEGIES
OBSERVE:
Observe one class with use of the observation sheet for greater focus then analyze my
observations with the help of the guide question.
1. The more senses that are involve, e.g. Teacher used video on how digestion
the more and the better the takes place and a model of the human
learning. digestive system.

2. Learning is an active process. Teacher is not only discussed her lesson.


She also let her students to participate by
getting their opinions, sharing stories
related to the lesson.
3. A non-threatening atmosphere Teacher is being professional when it
enhances learning. comes on discipline with her students.
She does not make her class having a
threatening atmosphere.
4. Emotion has the power to increase Teacher always teach them happily ang
retention and learning with joy. They are also being jolly with
their lesson and the students are more
cooperative with their group activities.
5. Good teaching goes beyond recall Teacher comes with strategy consisting
of information. of higher order of thinking skills. She also
makes her student to think beyond their
knowledge, for example exploring things
they didn’t know right away.
6. Learning is meaning when it is Teacher encourages students to
connected to students’ everyday participate freely by connecting her
life. lessons to students’ everyday life and
make comfortable for them to understand
her lesson.
7. An integrated teaching approach is Teacher uses different kind of teaching
far more effective than teaching like storytelling and games as a means to
isolated bits of information. help students remember at the same time
developing their skills.

ANALYZE:
What is the best method of teaching? Is there such a thing?
I think it is the “Learning is meaning when it is connected to student’s everyday life. This
one for me is the best that I’ve been observe so far. Starting your class with this method
will make them to cooperate freely and expresses their own opinions and taught.
Sometimes they will tell story that is been connected to the lesson you want to set or
present to them. In this case they will have a much idea to the lesson you will teach
them.
REFLECT:
How do we select the appropriate strategy for our lessons?
We select the appropriate strategy for our lessons by considering all of the
things that can may be affect your teachings and students as well as their learning
process. We consider first is what our topic is all about, Second consider also all of your
students, some may be fast, average and slow learners. Make a way that all of the
students will catch up to you, remember no one should left behind. Consider also the
atmosphere that takes place or happens during your class, we also avoid threatening
atmosphere and lets the class enjoy while learning.
ACTIVITY 10.2 DETERMINING OUTCOME-BASED TEACHING AND LEARNING
OBSERVE:
Observe a class and answer the following questions.
1. Did the teacher state the learning objectives/intended learning outcomes
(ILOs) at the beginning of the class? Did he/she share them with the class?
How?
- Yes, she stated and shared the intended learning outcomes at the
beginning of the class, by providing and carefully discussing the topic
overview and what are the things they will know or learn after the
discussion.

2. What teaching-learning activities (TLAs) did he/she use? Did these TLAs help
him/her attain his/her lesson objectives/ ILOs? Explain your answer.

- She provided a temporary class at zoom website and use a website


that provide games and activities like “kahoot.com” and
“mentimeter.com” in order to help her that her students learn
something from her, she provided it also upon the beginning and for
reviewing her class before presenting a quiz at the end of the class.

3. What assessment task/s did teacher employ? Is/are these aligned to the
lesson objectives/ ILOs?
- She provides an assessment task and is aligned to the lesson objectives
in order to check the if there is learnings happens in the class.

ANALYZE:
1. What are your thoughts about outcome-based teaching and learning (OBTL)?

-
My thought about outcome-based teaching and learning is it focuses
not on what the teacher intends to teach but rather the emphasis is on
what is the outcome from the learner of that teaching is intended to be.
REFLECT:

Reflect on the use of OBTL.

- I reflect that outcome-based teaching and learning basic premise is


that teaching and learning activities and assessment methods are
aligned with each other with the intended learning outcomes. In the
easy way to explain that the outcomes is also the curriculum content,
teaching methods and strategies and assessment process.

ACTIVITY 10.3 APPLYING EFFECTIVE QUESTIONING TECHNIQUES


OBSERVE:
Observe a class activity. You shall focus the questions that the resource teacher
asks during the classroom discussion. Write the questions raised and identify the
level of questioning.

TYPES OF QUESTION EXAMPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT


THE RESOURCE TEACHER ASKED
1. Factual / Convergent Did you finish your assignments?
Closed / Low level

2. Divergent / Higher order What do you think is the relation of


Open-ended / Conceptual your assignments to our topic?

a. Evaluation Class how well prepared are you for


the quiz and for us to know if there are
learnings happen?
b. Inference What can you conclude on our
discussions?

c. Comparison Compare the difference in each


formula? What formula do you prepare
and why?

d. Application How does this topic apply on our life?


Do you think it contributes to you the
most?
e. Problem-solving What is the formula in finding the area
of the triangle?

3. Affective How do you apply formulating an area


of a triangle in your daily life or in
future?

ANALYZE:
1. Neil Postman once said: “Children go to school as question marks and leave
school as periods!” Does this have something to do with the type of questions
that teacher ask and the questioning and reacting techniques that they
employ?

- Yes, it has something connected with the different types of questions.


It simply told us that all of the children will have no any questions in
mind unanswered.
REFLECT:
The importance of using various reacting techniques.

- Importance of using various reacting techniques is having multiple


ways to react and consider learner’s response. It is possible to have
different techniques to accommodate every learner’s different
response.

Activity 12.1 Observing Assessment FOR Learning Practices (Formative
Assessment)
Resource Teacher: Teacher's Signature: School:
Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: Date:
OBSERVE
Observe what Teacher does or listen to what Teacher says to find out if the students
understood the lesson while teaching-learning is in progress.
What Teacher Said Tally Total
Did you understand class? IIIIIIIII 9
Do you have any question? IIIIII 6
Clarification? IIIII 5
____
20

2. Did the teacher ask the class "Did you understand? If she did, what was the class
response?
 Yes, the teacher said it multiple times and the class response was YES.

3. Did the students make the teacher feel or sense they did not understand the lesson
or a part of the lesson? How?
 No.

4. If they did, how did the teacher respond?


 The teacher responds OK, and then she pick student to what she/he understand.

5. Were the students given the opportunity to ask questions for clarification? How was
this done?
 Yes, but the learners are not ask for any concern.
6. If she found out that her/his lesson was not clearly understood, what did teacher do?
Did you observe any of these activities? Please check.
______Peer tutoring (Tutors were assigned by teacher to teach one or two classmates
__/____Each-one-teach-one (Students paired with one another)
__/____Teacher gave a Module for more exercises for lesson mastery
______Teacher did re-teaching
Others, please specify
7. If she engaged himself/herself in re-teaching, how did she do it? Did he/she use the
same teaching strategy? Describe.
 Maybe not, if the class was not learning the way she discuss it before then the
teacher use more strategic way in order to make her understandable by their
students.

8. While re-teaching by himself/herself and /or with other students-turned tutors, did
teacher check on students' progress? If yes, how?
 Yes, by the use of assessing the students if they have already coping up with the
discussion. Like having an examination or test to see if the learners are coping
up.

ANALYZE

1. Why should a teacher find out if students understand the lesson while teaching is in
progress? Is it not better to do a once-and-for-all assessment at the completion of the
entire lesson?
 Checking for comprehension is an important component of teaching since it
allows you to see if your lessons are working or if you need to adjust your
approach to assist the learners.
 No, it is better for doing a once and for all assessment so that a teacher will be
able to know if the students are progressing or not.

2. Why is not enough for a teacher to ask "Did you understand, class?" when he/she
intends to check on learners' progress?
 Because a teacher is not sure whether the students really understand the lesson,
it is better for asking a question for the past lesson if they truly understand.
3. Should teacher record results of formative assessment for grading purposes? Why or
why not?
 Yes, formative assessment can also be considered as a part of grading purposes
because it gives focuses to the learners in terms of their prior learning for the
subject or what have they already know about the subject, if they do know about
what the teacher is discussing for that day, then it is a big advancement for the
students to comprehend more about the lesson.

4. Based on your observations, what formative assessment practice worked?


 There are pre-test, posttest, homework or classwork those are examples for
ensuring the learning.

5. For formative assessment, why is peer tutoring in class sometimes seen to be more
effective than teacher himself herself doing the re-teaching or tutoring?
 Because the students are more able open towards their peers, meaning they are
truly understand the meaning if they collaborate more on their peers rather than a
teacher. And it is effective because they are doing it by their self their
collaboration is the one who helps them to be more knowledgeable.

6. Could an unreasonable number of failures at the end of the term/grading period be


attributed to the non-application of formative assessment? Why or why not?
 Yes, because there were no student freedom to learn by their self. If the teacher
used the traditional modes of learning wherein the teacher by herself are the one
who fills information the class will become boring the tendency is not
progressing. The purpose of formative assessment is to give our students
evidence of their current progress to actively manage and adjust their own
learning. This also provides our students the ability to track their educational
goals. Formative assessments give us the ability to provide constant feedback to
our students.

REFLECT

 Formative assessment is tasting the soup while cooking. Reflect on this and write
your reflections.

Yes, while cooking it is not enough to just put the ingredients in the pan without making
it ready, of course you have to slice the ingredients first so that it can be easy for you to
deliver or cook the recipe without getting hustle. As well as being a teacher you have to
secure that the learners are learning in a way that they have to be ready for the next
lesson. Providing them if they have already learn or they have read about the topic
before a teacher proceed to the discussion, in a way like that it can make the teaching
easier and allow the learners to have their idea about the discussion.
 Should you record results of formative assessment? Why or why not?

Yes, because it is a part also of assessing students, as a teacher we have to record


their prior learning before they proceed to the discussion.

Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: Date:
TARGET YOUR INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:
 demonstrate knowledge of the design and use of self-assessment; and
 explain the importance of self-assessment.

REVISIT THE LEARNING ESSENTIALS


• Assessment as learning means assessment is a way of learning.
• It is the use of an ongoing self-assessment by the learners in order to monitor their
own learning.
• This is manifested when learners reflect on their own learning and make necessary
adjustments so that they achieve deeper understanding.
• Assessment as learning encourages students to take responsibility for their own
• It requires students to ask questions about their learning.
• It provides ways for students to use formal and informal feedback and self-assessment
to help them understand the next steps in learning.
• It encourages self-assessment and reflection.
OBSERVE
Observe a class and find out practices that reflect assessment as learning. Record your
observations

or skill to learned?

ANALYZE
1. If the student is at the heart of all assessment, then all assessment should support
student learning. Do you agree? Why or why not?
 Yes, assessment is the one who provides clear information when the learners
are learning to the subject matter; assessment can be the way to ensure that the
students understand the lesson.

2. Does assessment as learning have the same ultimate purpose as assessment for
learning?
 Yes, because assessment for learning is associated with assessment as
learning. For a teacher if she notice that the result is passed or not so that a
teacher can adjust her strategies in a way that a students will easier to
understand and cope up.

REFLECT

The primary purpose of assessment is not to measure but to further learning. Reflect on
your personal experiences of assessment in school. Were you given opportunities for
self-assessment? If yes, what was its impact on your learning?
Yes I have experience that the teacher gives us the opportunity to have our self-
assessment. It helps me to assess my personal skill and acquire my specific skills. It
made me realize that honesty is what makes you develop as a person and it make me
pursued to continue learning.

ANALYZE
1. Are all the assessment task aligned to the learning outcome?

 Yes, all of the assessment tasks are aligned on the learning outcome and
objectives that they have.

2. What are possible consequences if teacher’s assessment tasks are not


aligned to learning outcome/s? Does this affect assessment result? How?

 Yes it will affect the assessment result because how you assess and
achieve the learning outcomes and the objectives of your lesson if the
assessment tasks are not aligned. You will not have a successful and
effective teaching and learning process because the assessment result
will reflect your performance.

3. Why should assessment tasks be aligned to the learning outcomes?

 Assessment tasks should be aligned to the learning outcomes because


you will tell and identify if you are an effective teacher when you
achieve the goals of your lesson and the result of the assessment is
high. Assessment result will be based on the learning and knowledge
gained during your discussion.
REFLECT
 Reflect on past assessment you have been through. Were they all aligned with
what your teacher taught with learning outcomes?

 There are many times that the assessment are aligned to what the
teacher taught and to the learning outcome, maybe because there are
lessons that are very broad, so it is difficult for the teacher to align
assessment task with the learning outcomes and there are
assessments that are not aligned on what the teacher taught or in the
learning outcomes but is seldom to happen.

 How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you
learn from this past experience and from this observation?
 If the assessment are not aligned on what you have taught it can have
a big impact on your impact to your performance and to the students
you have because it will create a chaos in the mind of the students on
how they will answer, and they may have a lower grade or score that
will affect the result of your assessment. As a future teacher, I will take
this experiences as a lesson that in giving a assessment it is very
importance that you will aligned it to your objective or learning outcome
to have a good result in the evaluation part for yourself and t your
students.

ANALYZE
1. Which assessment tools/task were most commonly used by teacher? Which
ones were rarely used? Why were they rarely used?
 The assessment tool that the is commonly used by the teacher is the
multiple choice wherein we all know that most of all the paper and pencil
test is included this kind of assessment tool because it is more reliable in
testing the knowledge of the learners and the rare one is the matching
type because it is just like multiple choice wherein there are statement
written under column a and students choose your answer from the letter
on the column b.
2. Based on your answer found in the Tables above in which type of assessment
tools and task were the Resource teacher most skilled in test construction? Least
skilled?
 Based on my observation my resource teacher is most skilled in
constructing test is the essay restriction and the multiple choice because
she constructed the statement well and by the statement that she written
in the assessment tool is she made her student analysis each question.
And the least skilled is the completion because I didn’t observed that she
used it in her class.

3. Can an essay or other written requirement, even if it is a written paper-and-pencil


test, be considered and authentic form of assessment? Explain your answer.
 Yes an essay or other written requirements even if it is a written paper-and
pencil test can be considered as an authentic form of assessment because
even it is a written assessment we can also assess the learning of our
student by this tools because for example in essay you can see if the
student really learn something by how they construct their essay you can
see they creativity in constructing word on how they can explain what they
learn on their lesson.

REFLECT
How good are you at constructing traditional assessment tools? Which do you find most
difficult to construct? Any lessons learned?
 I’m not yet good in constructing any traditional assessment toll because
I’m still in the learning process but for me the assessment tool that is most
difficult to construct is the problem solving because I found it very difficult
because you need to be more creative in creating a problem solving
question that easy to understand by the student for them to be able to
answer it and give their solution on that problem.

ANALYZE
1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you
think that type of rubric was used more?
 For me, the rubrics that are usually used was the analytic rubric wherein the
score scale was 1 to 5 and each point had a description. This rubrics
usually used by the teacher because it is more simple for the student to use
as their guide on making outputs or performance and it is very easy to
understand and the student himself can evaluate themselves to know what
grades may they have based o the rubrics.

2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made
and used by the Resource Teachers?
 Not Observed

3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the
product or performance without scoring rubrics? Explain.
 Yes, I will have a difference because the rubrics serves as a guide to both
teacher and learners, if there’s no rubric the learners will have no idea on
how the teacher give score or grades on their output or performance.

4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
 If I’ve given a chance to improve one scoring rubics I wil improve the holistic
rubrics, I will put a description on criteria.

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 an essay or other written requirements even if it is a written paper-and
pencil test can be considered as an authentic form of assessment because
even it is a written assessment we can also assess the learning of our
student by this tools because for example in essay you can see if the student
really learn something by how they construct their essay you can see they
creativity in constructing word on how they can explain what they learn on
their lesson.

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 helps students to became self-directed or independent learners
because they can do the task that they teachers given them by the help of
the rubrics that serves as their guide.

Activity 13.4 Scrutinizing the Types and Parts of a Portfolio
Resource Teacher: Teacher’s Signature:
Grade/Year Level: Subject Area:
School Date:
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 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
part 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?
 The activities or works that are suited for the objectives should meet on those
activities or works that are included in the portfolio to assess if the students
learned what they were supposed to learn, and the objectives should meet on
those activities or works that are included in the portfolio to assess if the students
learned what they were supposed to learn.
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio. Based on the parts, under which type of
portfolio do this fall?
 Based on the elements listed above, I believe this belongs in the development or
growth portfolio because there are pieces of proof indicating students reflect on
the lessons they learned.

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?
 Each type has unique and important characteristics, the teacher will use the
portfolio at different times and in different places. The first is
development/growth development, which occurs when a teacher wants to
determine if there's any changes and development are occurring in their
students. The second is the showcase/display portfolio, where students can
show off their work. Demonstrate their abilities and talents on a specific topic It's
a standard product or performance task. The other is the assessment
evaluation portfolio, which is when the teacher assesses or evaluates the
students' prior learning and, at the end, they will identify if there are
developments in their works or learning. It is also used to determine whether or
not their objectives have been met.
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 learners' metacognitive process that result fromthe use of portfolio?
 The portfolio assessment simplifies the learning assessment process by
allowing you to see if your students are making progress and developing
through various types of portfolios. Yes, the effort spent on portfolio assessment
is commensurate with the improvement of learning and development of
learners' metacognitive processes that result from the use of portfolio because
there are a set of activities that can assess the progress and development of
the students, particularly their metacognitive processes that occur during the
process of creating and completing the portfolio. Reflections are taking place in
the portfolio, and students are required to reflect on their own learning.

Rank Rank

ANALYZE
1. Which cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions? lowest
number?
 Remembering, understanding, and analyzing had the most assessment questions
because the teacher will identify if something is recalled and understood by the
students and if it is appropriate for the time allotted to answer the assessment
questions in these cognitive skills. While the lower number represents creation
because it requires more time to answer and create something to assess the
students.
2. What do these (lowest and highest number of assessment questions) reveal about
Resource Teacher's level of questions?
 Based on the resource teacher's lowest and highest number of assessments, it is
clear that the level of questions is easy or low. because the majority of the
questions rely on remembering and understanding, and students will only recall
what they discussed and learned
3. Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, which are the highest cognitive skills?
Give example of an assessment question for each of the two highest cognitive skills-
metacognitive skills and self-system thinking.
 Based on Kendall and Marzano's taxonomy, the highest cognitive skills are
metacognitive skills and self-system thinking, in which the teacher asks questions
that reflect their acquired knowledge and learning from the lesson. And the
students will explain why it is critical to learn. For instance, why is it important to
know or learn?

REFLECT
If you were to rate yourself on HOTS where will you be from a scale of 1 to 5 (52
highest) where will you be? As a future teacher, reflect on how will you contribute to the
development of learners HOTS?
 If I'm going to give myself a rating on HOTS. I'll rate myself on a scale of 1 to 3. I'm
only in the middle because I'm not fully trained or aware of how to use HOTS, and
I'm still working to get it to 5.
As a future teacher, reflect on how will you contribute to the development of learner’s
HOTS?
 As a future teacher, I will contribute to the development of learners' HOTS by
presenting real-life questions or providing real-life examples to which they will
relate their lives. It will improve not only their thinking skills but also their decision-
making ability to respond to the situation.

Activity 13.6 Analyzing a Table of Specifications

Resource Teacher: Mirriam L. Arellano Teacher’s Signature:

Grade/ Year Level: Grade 10 Subject Area: EPP


School: Southville IV National High School Date: Oct. 25, 2021

ANALYZE
1. What parts must a TOS contain to ensure test content validity?
 All parts of the TOS are important in ensuring test content validity, Because it
will be used as a guide in creating an assessment or question.
2. Why is there a need for number of items per cognitive level?
 A number of items are assigned to each cognitive level to determine how much
level is measured in each cognitive skill. This number also indicates which
number best fits those objectives.
3. With OBE in mind, is it correct to put learning outcome not topic in the first column?
Why or why not?
 Yes, it is correct that we place the learning outcome in the first column rather
than the topic to identify our goal at the end of the lesson. It is to determine
whether our activity or assessment will be appropriate for the outcome that we
have.
4. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS?
 No, because the TOS serves as a guideline for developing the test to ensure its
content validity. This is why, before creating the test questions, we must first
create our TOS. If there is no TOS first, the content of the questions may not be
relevant to the lesson we discussed, and the question formation may be
disorganized.
5. Complete the given TOS.
REFLECT
Read this conversation and reflect on teachers' assessment practices. Write your
reflections here.

Student A:Saan naman pinulot ni Teacher ang kaniyang tanong? Ni-isang tanong sa
tinuro, wala! (Where did Teacher get her test? Not one of what she taught came out!)
Student B:Oo nga.! Nakakaiinis! (You are right! How annoying!")

Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it. Will the required use of Table of
Specifications as guide in test construction solve the problem of misaligned tests?
 I've also been in the situation where there are several questions on the exam that
we are unfamiliar with or don't know the answer to because the teacher isn't
discussing it. So, in order to complete the exam, we simply answered it using our
stock knowledge without knowing whether or not it was correct. Perhaps there is
no TOS created first before constructing the test in that case. TOS is very
important in test construction because it provides content validity and organizes
the test questions. All of the objectives in that lesson are included in the TOS,
allowing us to determine which questions should be included in the test.

Activity 13.7 Computing Students Grades Based on DepEd Grading System

Resource Teacher: Mirriam L. Arellano Teacher’s Signature:

Grade/ Year Level: Grade 10 Subject Area: EPP


School: Southville IV National High School Date: Oct. 25, 2021

OBSERVE
A. Sample Students' Report Card
1. Secure a sample of a Students' Report Card from your Resource Teacher.
2. Study a sample of an unused Student's Report Card. Observe its contents.
3. Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for an interview with him/her and
with a group student regarding the new grading system.
B. Interview of Resource Teacher
1. What are the new features of the latest grading system? What things are you
required to do with this new grading system which you were not asked before?
2. Which do you prefer the old or the new grading system? Why?
C. Interview of 5 Students
1. What do you like in the new grading system?
 The new grading system is preferred by the students I interviewed because
they are not all good at written activities and cannot achieve high results in
quizzes and examinations, so the performance task allows them to make up
for their failing grades. This causes their grades to balance or improve.
2. Do you have problems with the new grading system. If there is, what?
 There was no issue with the new grading system for them; the issue was how
they were going to submit it on time because we are in a virtual class and all
activities are completed online. However, due to a poor internet connection,
they did not pass it on time, and sometimes technical difficulties occurred.
3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance? Why
or why not?
 Their answer is yes, because it is no longer about how knowledgeable and
smart you are, but about your talents, ability, and skills. You can get high
grades even if you are not good academically but have talents and abilities
that you will use in performance tasks.
4. Which do you prefer the old or the new grading system? Why?
 They prefer the new grading system in which it is not all about how smart and
knowledgeable you are. Though they are not academically strong, their
talents allow them to excel in class and achieve high grades.

D. Review of DepEd Order # 8, s. 2015


Read DepEd Order # 8 s. 2015. You may refer to Appendix A.
Based on DepEd Order 8, s, 2015, answers the following:
1. What are the bases for grading?
 The bases for grading, according to DO 8, s.2015, are the Summative
Assessment Components Summative assessments are classified into three
components, namely, Written Work (WW), Performance Tasks (PT), and
Quarterly Assessment (QA).
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades 11 to 12.
Give an example.
3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year?
 Kindergarten has no numerical grades. Checklists and student portfolios are
used to represent learners' progress in various learning areas. These are
presented to parents for discussion at the end of each quarter. Additional
Kindergarten program guidelines will be issued.
For students in grade 1 to 10.
 The Final Grade is calculated by taking the average of the Quarterly
Grades (QG).
 The General Average is calculated by dividing the total number of
learning areas by the sum of all final grades. Each area of learning is
given equal weight.
 The final grade in each learning area, as well as the overall average, is
reported as whole numbers.
For Students in Grades 11 and 12
 The final grade in a semester is determined by the two quarters.
4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress of learners?
 A summary of learner progress is presented to parents and guardians
quarterly during a parent-teacher conference, during which the report card is
discussed. When a learner's raw scores in Written Work and Performance
Tasks are consistently lower than expected, the learner's parents or
guardians must be notified no later than the fifth week of that quarter. This
will allow them to assist and guide their child as he or she improves and
prepares for the Quarterly Assessment. A learner who receives a grade of
less than 75 in any subject in a quarter must receive intervention from the
subject's teacher/s through remediation and extra lessons.

5. What are the bases for learners' promotion and retention at the end of the school
year?
 The final grade of 75 or higher in all learning areas qualifies the student for
advancement to the next grade level.

 The learner in Grades 1-10 who did not meet expectations in at least two
learning areas must take remedial classes. After the Final Grades have been
computed, remedial classes are held. To advance to the next grade level, the
learner must complete the remedial classes. Teachers should, however,
ensure that students receive remediation if their raw scores in Written Work
and Performance Tasks are consistently lower than expected by the fifth
week of any quarter. This will keep a student from failing any subject at the
end of the year.

 The learners in Grades 11 and 12 who fail a unit/set of competencies must


be immediately placed in remedial classes. To avoid a failing grade in a
learning area/subject, they must pass the summative assessments during
remediation. Students will not have to repeat subjects in Senior High School
as a result of this (SHS). However, if the learner continues to fail remedial
classes, he or she must retake the failed subject(s) during the summer or as
a back subject. Guidance teachers/career advocates must support SHS
students in their SHS Track choices.
6. What is the report on learners' observed values?
 The observed values of the learners are based on the DepEd Mission, Vision,
and Core Values.

 Additional indicators for the behavior statements may be developed by


schools. Schools must ensure that these are child-centered, gender-fair, and
age and culture-appropriate. Schools must also ensure that their homeroom
guidance program promotes these Core Values. Additional opportunities in all
learning areas may be integrated into class discussions.
E. Grade Computation
Show sample computations of a grade:
 in a subject of your choice from Grades 1 to 6 (if you are a future elementary
teacher)
 in your specialization if you are a high school teacher)
 it is not available because we don’t experience to compute quarter grades of
the students.
 Show the percentage contributions of written work, performance tasks and
quarterly assessment. Then give the descriptor. Refer to DepEd Order # 8, s. 2015.
 Written work (30 percent) consists of written activities and quizzes.
 Performance task (50 percent) - this is an activity that includes students'
performances and skills such as dancing, singing, role playing, and product
outputs.
 Quarterly assessment (20%) - this is an examination given at the end of each
quarter to assess students' understanding of the lessons covered during the
quarter.

ANALYZE
Analyze data and information gathered from the interview and from your review of an
unused Student's Report Card and the DepEd grading system.
1. Do teachers and students like the new grading system? Why or why not?
 Yes, they prefer the new grading system because it focuses on performance
and skills, which have a higher grading scale.
2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to teachers?
According to students?
 They also mentioned the same positive aspects, namely the scale of
performance tasks with a higher scale on the grading system.
3. What are teachers challenged to do by this new grading system?
 The response of the students to the activity is the challenge of the new
grading system, especially since we are in a virtual class. Because they were
concerned about the internet connection, they allowed the students to pass
their activity late, resulting in a delay in computing the students' grades.

4. Do you favor the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks


and quarterly assessment?
 Yes, I agree with the percentage distribution because skills are very important
nowadays. Rather than increasing their knowledge, we need to improve their
skills.
5. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not?
 We don't have any experience computing grades right now because we aren't
allowed to. We are simply carrying out our resource teacher's assignment.

REFLECT
In an era where the emphasis is self-directed learning and demonstration of
competencies - knowledge, skills and values learned (outcomes-based education)- do
grades really matter?
 Yes, grades are still important, but we are now emphasizing self-directed
learning and competency demonstration because we can monitor our
students. Through the grades Even though it is only a number, we can
identify their true abilities and capabilities and monitor which aspects or parts
they need to develop more.

Proceedings in a Card Distribution Day
1. Observe how cards are distributed on Card Distribution Day. Describe how
cards are distributed.
 1. Because of the pandemic, cards are also distributed online. Parents and
teachers first meet via Google Meet to report on each student's progress and
performance. Their grades are sent to their Google accounts/portals. In
school, each student has an account where their teachers enter their grades
one by one.
2. Describe how the Resource Teachers communicated learners' assessment
results and grades to parents.
 My resource teacher first explained the percentage of written work,
performance task, and quarterly assessment, and then she will explain how to
compute and obtain their children's grades.
3. Did parents raise questions or concerns? If yes, what were their
questions/concerns?
 As my resource teacher put it, "there are no other questions because she
explained everything about how to compute their children's grades."

4. How did the Resource Teacher handle their questions and concerns? What
answers did he she gives?
 If there are any questions, she approaches them politely and responds as
best she can. She is very open about how she computes the grades of the
students, and she explains it one by one.

Interview with Resource Teacher


1. How do you give feedback to your students regarding their performance? When
do you give feedback?
 She stated that she provided feedback following their class. She will
message the student and discuss it privately. If there are activities, she will
provide feedback on the work, whether it needs improvement or is a job well
done.
2. How do you report students' performance to parents? Does the school have a
regular way of reporting grades to parents?
 After receiving and completing the students' grades, the school has a
consistent method of reporting the students' performance. The head
principal will set a date to meet with the students' parents and report on their
development and progress.
3. What problems on grade reporting did you encounter with parents? How did you
address it/them?
 According to her, she had no problems reporting the grades because she is
very transparent. She will go over each point one by one to avoid any
confusion.

Interview with Students


1. Do you see the meaning of your grades in the School Report Card?
 According to the student I interviewed, she saw the significance of their
grades in their School Report Card because they could go and look at it
whenever they wanted. It is available on their portal, and only they have
access to it.
2. Does knowing your grade motivate you to work harder?
 Yes, they are extremely motivated, especially when they see that their
grades are excellent. They are motivated to study hard and do their
absolute best the next time.
Interview with Parents
1. Does your child's Report Card give you a clear picture of how your child is
performing? Why?
 According to them, yes, because it will reflect on their children's
performance in the class they attended.
2. If you were asked what else should be found in the Report Card, which one?
 Perhaps the teacher's comments or feedback because it will assist the
students and them as mothers in determining what should be prioritized and
what needs to be improved.
3. Do you find the Card Distribution Day important? Why or why not?
 Yes, Card Distribution Day is very important for them as parents because
they will know whether or not their children are learning. It is also the result
of their children's efforts, and they will determine whether they need to focus
on teaching or monitoring them.
4. Any suggestion on how to make Card Distribution more meaningful?
 They don't have any suggestions yet because the distribution makes sense,
even if it's online, based on what they've experienced recently as a result of
the new way of distributing their children's grades or cards.

ANALYZE
1. What were the most common issues raised on students' performance?
 Because it is done online, the teacher finds it difficult to monitor the
students' attentiveness and participation in class at all times. They need
more engaging activities and games to keep students' attention and
motivate them to participate in class.
2. Based on your observations and findings, what practices must be
a) maintained and
b) improved to make grades and reporting meaningful?
 According to observations, one of the practices that teachers must maintain
is transparency between teachers and parents, because it is critical for
teachers to be transparent, especially when it comes to the grading system.
And, in terms of practices that need to be improved, based on the
observations, there are currently no other issues or areas that need to be
improved because the grades and reporting are meaningful and well
planned.

REFLECT
1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do reporting so
that it will result to effective learning?

 I agree that grades can lead to misunderstandings, so be open and honest


with your parents. The teacher must provide an honest report to the parents.
Though it is not a good report, parents will understand it because it is based
on their children's performance and effort during the quarter. Report all
grades and performances, and explain how the grades are calculated. And
if there are still misunderstandings or violent reactions to their children's
grades, allow them to compute. Give them their children's data and let them
compute their grades to show them how to get that grade.

Activity 2
Will focus on the Professional Competencies of the Teacher. You may change
your sample Teacher in Activity 1 with another teacher or you can still observe the same
teacher. In case you will not change your teacher to be observed the same teacher will
be your sample for both Activity 1 and Activity 2. Aside from direct observation, you will
also do a Survey in Activity 2.
ANALYZE
Did you learn from your observation of the teacher? Now let us analyze the information
that you have gathered.
Answer the following questions.
1. In Activity 1, what do you consider as the 3 most outstanding significant personal
qualities of the teacher you chose as your case? Why do you consider these as
outstanding?
a. Strong communication skills
b. Professional
c. Approachable
2. Which of these qualities do you have? Do you think you can fit as a good teacher
someday? _______ Why? Describe yourself.
For me I have a strong communication skills, in traditional teaching and today’s virtual
class, having this quality as a teacher is very important because poor communication
skills can make sometimes a misunderstanding not only in the students but also to the
colleagues and parents.
REFLECT
Good teachers are role models, whether in school, at home or in the community.
From the teachers that you had from elementary to college, did the personal qualities
that they possess, help you learn better as a student?
Identify one personal characteristic of your model teacher that has made a great
impact in your life as a learner. Reflect and describe how this quality influenced you.
I really admire my College professor and our one and only Ms. Florence B. Ferrer, way
back 2018 when I inquiring in EARIST Cavite campus, I want to apply as a education
student because in my previous school I am elementary education student. Transferring
in other school is hard the registrar has so much looking for my documents and I said to
myself should I take another course? Or should I pursue my education course but TLE
Major this time. I passed the entrance exam and my next step is to meet the program
chairman of education course. When I see Ma’am Ferrer she looks like hot headed
maybe she is tired because that time is already afternoon. She interviewed me , she say
WHY EDUCATION? In earist there is only one major here that TLE I said, ma’am I want
to be a teacher someday, she says why? My answer is, Ma’am I want to be a
professional teacher and I want my daughter proud of me someday.
Since 1st year Ma’am Ferrer is always our subject teacher she looks terror but in reality
she wants her students to be quality teacher I saw her dedication to her profession she
is, patient and caring teacher maybe other student misinterpret her but for me if I
became a professional teacher someday I want to be like her but I know she is only one
no one can replace her. Giving advice in real world on how to handle problems on how
to give solution. She always remind us to keep study even the life is poor because we
have a chance given by our government , you can ask her if we have curiosity or ask
about our lesson she never refuse us.
In my 16 years of studying all I can say Ms. Florence B. Ferrer is the teacher who gave
a big impact to my life not just in school but in reality. I want to thank ma’am ferrer for
the opportunity to study again she gave me her trust to study again. I know even though
we haven’t yet, I know that she is proud to us. Thankyou ma’am for showing your
support. Love and care you are an inspiration to all students who want to achieve their
dreams.

ANALYZE
Refer to the results of your observation to answer the questions that follow.
1. Which of the three responsibilities shows majority of the indicators being
practiced?
A. Actual Teaching?
The teacher practices a learner- centered approach, has mastery of the
subject matter and is pleasant and fair in dealing with the learners.
B. Management of learning?
The teacher allows the students to take part in the class. Dismissed the class
on schedule and used instructional support tools to assist learners in
understanding the topic and completing the learning in the allotted time.
C. Administrative work?
The teacher keeps her record of attendance every day, and also the formative
and summative test, does other tasks as requested by the superiors,
cooperates with peers and staff.

2. Which demonstrated behavior, do you find in the teacher that is worthy of


emulation when you become a teacher? Describe.
The management of learning is worth emulating when I become a teacher
someday. Management of learning allows the teacher to facilitate the class in
organize manner. Facilitating not only the flow of the lesson, but also the welfare
of the students in the classroom setting and learning environment.

3. Which of the major responsibilities does this teacher find difficult to comply with?
What are the reasons?
I think there is no major responsibilities that a teacher finds it difficult to comply.
Because teachers are able to comply with making a learner centered
environment, managing the learning environment, up to keeping all the records
and submitting documents. Those are not too hard responsibilities unless a
teacher has a valid reason why he/she cannot comply.
4. From your perspective, would you consider this teacher as quality teacher?
Why?
Yes, because she possesses the characteristics of a quality teacher, aside from
that she does her responsibilities in actual teaching, management of learning,

you to reflect on all your observations by answering reflective questions below.
1. Are you inspired to become a teacher after your observation? If yes,
why? If No, why not?
 Yes, after seeing how the teacher works and help the students to learn.
I am inspired to become one in the future. I would love to teach and help
my students not only to master the knowledges, but also the skills and
values they should have in order to become a meaningful individual.

2. Would you become a teacher in the future, how else would you do
better as a professional teacher?

 To be a better teacher, you must possess the knowledge, ethics, and


quality of a great educator. Which means I must first enjoy teaching or
educating children, since as a teacher, I have the unique opportunity to
have a direct impact on my students. I will make certain that the pupils
comprehend not just the theory but also the actual applications of what I
have presented.

3. What are some of the concerns that you foresee in the future as a
quality teacher? Do you think you will be ready to address these? Give
at least 2 concerns.
 In the future I foresee that the concerns I will have been handling
student’s behavior, and managing the learner’s diversity. I think that
despite of these concerns I am determined that I will be able to handle
and address these. I need to think positively and stay focused on the
things I must do as a teacher.

4. In what aspects of the teacher’s day, would you like to congratulate the
teacher you observed? Can you show your appreciation to this teacher
by sending a Thank you card? (Include this in your artifact).

learners. The teacher’s role is to facilitate
this process. Knowledge isn’t a thing that
can be simply deposited by the teacher
into the empty minds of the learners.
Rather, knowledge is constructed by
learners through an active, mental
process of development; learners are the
builders and creators of meaning and
knowledge. Their minds are not empty.
Instead, their minds are full of ideas
waiting to be “midwife” by the teacher
with his skillful facilitating skill

My Philosophy of Teaching
These may be help:
I believe that the learner is unique in that each student has their own learning style, as
well as their own set of needs and talents that they bring to the classroom. As a teacher,
it is my job to highlight their talents and create an environment that encourages
maximum learning while also meeting the needs of each child.
Each youngster learns in his or her own way. As a teacher, I believe it is critical to use a
range of teaching methods to ensure that students learn. Through cooperative learning,
students should be able to learn from one another and work together. Students should
be engaged learners who use hands-on learning to explore concepts. The pupils should
also be taught how to apply the notion in a way that allows them to think on a higher
level. To the best of my ability
I believe that I should teach the learners what is new in the discipline. In fact, the
good teacher often helps to create new knowledge. To live this belief, I must
continuously examine my teaching methods and find new ones. To remain
connected to my students, their lives and the schools in which they will practice
their professions, I must be a student of society and the constantly changing worlds
in which students live. I eagerly and willingly learn from my students as they learn
with me.
By feels secure and comfy. They need to know that the teacher cares about them. As a
teacher, it is my obligation to create such a setting. It's a place where everyone feels at
ease and as though they're part of the family. I feel that a child's ability to succeed must
be a source of pride for them. In each learner, I shall have faith. I also feel that the
pupils should be held to a high, yet achievable, standard. Each youngster chooses to be
challenged in order to realize his or her maximum potential.
I believe that I need to be a trustworthy, and supportive teacher and A great teacher
bridges gaps and builds relationships, friendships, and a community. Teachers
always look to make things better and improve things in and outside of the
classroom. Building a community is something a great teacher seeks to do in
the classroom and extends that to the entire school and its community.
