Analysis
1. Was
there a variety of assessment methods used by the teacher? How relevant
was/were the assessment method/s used?
Yes, there are variety of
assessment methods used by my resource teacher, some of these are
performance-based, summative test, pen-and-pencil etc. Those assessment method
used by my cooperating teacher are appropriate, relevant and align in her
subject matter and in her learning targets for her to achieve the learning
targets she set and to measure what she intended to measure.
2. Do
you think the expected students’ learning behaviors indicated in the
objectives were properly and appropriately assessed through those assessment
methods?
Yes, the assessment methods
used by my cooperating teacher are matched with the learning targets she set.
And the expected students’ learning behaviours indicated in the objectives that
my resource teacher sets were properly and appropriately assessed through those
assessment methods she used.
My Reflections
Using appropriate assessment method is highly needed in the classroom for the
teacher know how to assess properly the students. And for the teachers find out
what students already know, what they want to know and what they must know and
for the teacher know the weaknesses and strengthens of his/ her students. So
the assessment method must be align, appropriate and relevant to the learning
targets. And as future educator, this will set as my guide to act more
appropriate in assessing someday when I’m in field.
