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.
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.

Use the Technology Integration Form to analyze the class you observed. Refer to the
Technology Integration Matrix on p. 123, In which level of technology integration do you
think the teacher you observed operated? Why?
Entry, because the teachers used different technology to deliver the lesson and
teach students.
Based on the Technology Integration Matrix, what is the characteristic of the learning
environment in the class that you observed? Point your observations that justify your
answer.
Active, because the students also used technology to support their own learning.
The students also used technologies in group reporting.
Over-all, were the learning resources used effectively? Why? Why not? Give your
suggestions
Yes, because nothing left behind and it used it effectively during class
discussion. I suggest that choose a good internet connection so that no
interruption during class.

3. How will you prepare yourself for MOOCS, as a learner, and as a teacher who may
someday teach a MOOC?
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

1. Observe a teacher in the classroom.
2. Note his/her questions both oral and written.
3. Score him/her according to the level of questions that he/she asks from remembering
to creating and metacognition and self-system thinking. You may also refer to written
tests for samples of questions in the various levels.
4. Make tally, then get the total. Use Table 1 and Table 2 separately.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
OBSERVE
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.
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?
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.

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.
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.

philosophies of education are dominant in Philippine basic schools? Why do you
say so?

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.
