A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
Today, you will learn the concept of flexible learning, know the school or classroom rules.
As we begin, be familiarized with the learning objectives for today. (Written in the header)
B. MAIN LESSON
Flexible Learning is the design and delivery of programs, courses, and learning interventions that address
learners’ unique needs in terms of place, pace, process, and products of learning. It involves the use of digital
and non-digital technology, and covers both face-to-face/in-person learning and out-of-classroom learning
modes of delivery or a combination of modes of delivery. It ensures the continuity of inclusive and accessible
education when the use of traditional modes of teaching is not feasible, as in the occurrence of national
emergencies. Flexible Learning is a pedagogical approach allowing flexibility of time, place and audience
including, but not solely focused on, the use of technology. Although it commonly uses the delivery methods of
distance education and facilities of education technology, this may vary depending on the levels of technology,
availability of devices, internet connectivity, level of digital literacy and approaches. (SEAMEO)
1. Face-to-face or in-class sessions are limited to 4 meetings per subject in a two-week period; the
remaining 10 days is home sessions.
2. A flexible learning module will be our main material.
3. These modules will be collected during the in-class sessions. Performance tasks will be more on written
production (example, quizzes, essays, research).
4. Supplementary tasks, for example, video watching, relevant lectures, will be had during the in-class
sessions.
5. During the home sessions, communication and interaction between you and your classmates, and your
teacher will be open for questions, clarifications, mentoring, and other concerns.
Classroom Rules
Students are expected to abide by the school policies as mentioned in the PHINMA Araullo University.

Field Study 5
This subject allows the students to have hands on experiences in selecting, constructing and
evaluating convectional, authentic and alternative assessment tools used in the learning environment
based on the principles of teaching.
What is Assessment?
Various definitions of assessment and the role it plays in teaching and learning:
Assessment involves the use of empirical data on student learning to refine programs and improve
student learning. (Assessing Academic Programs in Higher Education by Allen 2004)
Assessment is the process of gathering and discussing information from multiple and diverse sources
in order to develop a deep understanding of what students know, understand, and can do with their
knowledge as a result of their educational experiences; the process culminates when assessment
results are used to improve subsequent learning. (Learner-Centered Assessment on College
Campuses: shifting the focus from teaching to learning by Huba and Freed 2000)
Assessment is the systematic basis for making inferences about the learning and development of
students. It is the process of defining, selecting, designing, collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and using
information to increase students' learning and development. (Assessing Student Learning and
Development: A Guide to the Principles, Goals, and Methods of Determining College Outcomes by
Erwin 1991)
Assessment is the systematic collection, review, and use of information about educational programs
undertaken for the purpose of improving student learning and development. (Assessment Essentials:
planning, implementing, and improving assessment in higher education by Palomba and Banta 1999)

Evaluation is a broader term than the Measurement. It is more comprehensive than
mere inclusive than the term Measurement. It goes ahead of measurement which simply
indicates the numerical value. It gives the value judgement to the numerical value. It
includes both tangible and intangible qualities.
Assessment of Learning
Type of Evaluation:
Formative The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student learning to provide ongoing feedback
that can be used by instructors to improve their teaching and by students to improve their learning
Summative The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an
instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark.

KEY TO CORRECTIONS
One-on-one feedback
Unlike a class or critique group, a portfolio assessment offers the advantage of providing one-on-one
feedback. A private lesson offers the best chance of accurately determining the artist’s individual
strengths and weaknesses, providing a plan of action for improving their art. Some students also find
that a private lesson encourages them to bring pieces they are less sure of, which promotes creative
growth.
The portfolio assessment simulates the kinds of scenarios students will experience in a post-secondary
art program. In mimicking the classroom environment on a smaller scale, the portfolio assessment
presents students with the opportunity to ask questions and make comments in an open and relaxed
space while receiving criticism. This one-on-one session gives students added experience in an
academic environment and may help build confidence in their work and abilities.
Artist accountability
It is not uncommon for students to lack a sense of accountability is their artwork. Accountability is
similar to responsibility – it might be described as the “why?” behind a piece, or a thoughtful explanation
(account) of certain artistic choices. In encouraging students to critically reflect on their work, the
portfolio assessment fosters the development of artistic accountability.

B. MAIN LESSON
product oriented assessment is a kind of assessment where in the assessor views and scores the final
product made and not on the actual performance of making that product.
It is concern on the product alone and not on the process.
It is more concern to the outcome or the performance of the learner. It also focuses on achievement of
the learner.
Product assessment focuses on evaluating the result or outcome of a process.
It seeks to assess performance through a finalized product that should meet specific requirements.
The teacher may or may not choose to engage in the process that will bring about the final product,
because that is not what is being considered. Rather than through interaction.
The product-oriented evaluation is often accompanied by a rubric that the student evaluates himself to
see if the expectations of the final product are being met.
It is a summative, and not a formative type of evaluation that could work as a short-term solution, for
specific projects. An example of a product-oriented evaluation is, for instance, a writing homework due
the next day that must include certain things to achieve a good score.
Example:
The product desired is a scrapbook illustrating the historical event called EDSA I People Power.
1. Contain pictures, newspaper clippings, and other illustrations of the main characters od EDSA I
2. Contain remarks and captions for the illustrations made by the student himself for the roles played by
the characters of EDSA I People Power
3. Be presentable, complete, informative and pleasing to the reader of scrapbook
Scoring Rubrics – these are descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers to guide the analysis
of the products.

Today is the continuation topic of Day 12. You may read it first so that you will easily understand
today’s session.
As we begin, be familiarized with the learning objectives for today. (Written in the header)
B. MAIN LESSON
Performance-based education - poses a challenge for teachers to design instruction that is task-oriented.
The trend is based on the premise that learning needs to be connected to the lives of the students through
relevant tasks that focus on students’ ability to use their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways. In this case,
performance-based tasks require performance-based assessment in which the actual student performance is
assessed through a product, such as a completed project or work that demonstrates levels of task
achievement.
Product-Oriented Leaning Competencies Student performances can be defined as targeted tasks that lead
to a product or overall learning outcomes. Product can include a wide range of student works that target
specific skills. Examples: Communication Skill, Reading Writing, Speaking Listening
PSYCHOMOTOR SKILLS (requiring physical abilities to perform a given task). Using rubrics is one way that
teachers can evaluate or assess student performance or proficiency in any given task as it relates to a final
product or leaning outcomes. The leaning competencies associated with products or outputs are linked with an
assessment of the level of “expertise” manifested by the product. Thus, product oriented learning
competencies target at least three (3) levels: novice or beginner’s level, skilled level, and expert level.
There are other ways to state product- oriented learning competencies. For instance, we can define learning
competencies for products or outputs in the following way:
Level 1: Does the finished product or project illustrate the minimum expected parts or functions?
(Beginner)
Level 2: Does the finished product or project contain additional parts and functions on top of the
minimum requirements which tend to enhance the final output? (Skilled level)
Level 3: Does the finished product contain the basic minimum parts and functions, have additional
features on top of the minimum, and us aesthetically pleasing? (Expert level) Example: The desired
product is a representation of a cubic prism made out of cardboard in an elementary geometry class.
Product oriented performance based learning competencies should be evidence-based. The teacher needs
concrete evidence that the student has achieved a certain level of competence based on submitted products
and projects.
Task Designing How should a teacher design a task for product-oriented performance based assessment?
The design of the task in this context depends on what the teacher desires to observe as output of the
students. The concepts that may be associated with task designing include:
Complexity. The level of complexity of the project needs to be within the range of ability of the
students. Projects that are too simple tend to be uninteresting for the students while projects
that are too complicated will most likely frustrate them.
Appeal. The project or activity must be appealing to the students. It should be interesting
enough so that students are encouraged to pursue the task to completion. It should lead self-
discovery of information by the students.
Creativity. The projects need to encourage students to exercise creativity and divergent
thinking. Given the same set of materials and project inputs, how does one best present the
project? It should lead the students into exploring the various possible ways of presenting the
final output.
Goal-Based. Finally, the teacher must bear in mind that the project is produced in order to attain
a learning objective. Thus, projects are assigned to students not just for the sake of producing
something but for the purpose of reinforcing learning. Example: Paper folding is a traditional
Japanese art. However, it can be used as an activity to teach concept of plane and solid figures
in geometry. Provide students with a given number of colored papers and ask them to construct
as many plane and solid figures from these papers without cutting them (by paper folding only)
