Analysis

1.       Do you think the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately assessed by your test items?

Yes, the teacher’s learning objectives was appropriately assessed by my test items because the test items I can able to measure the knowledge or understanding level of the students in binomials. And through this test items the teacher can able to determine if the set of objectives are being achieved or not.

2.       Why do you have to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to developing an assessment tool?

It is badly needed to study the teacher’s learning objectives prior to developing assessment tool for it will set as our guideline in making a good assessment. And through studying teacher’s learning objectives we can able to create an appropriate assessment tools which will measure what it is intended to measure and determine if the set of objectives are achieved.

Reflection

Write your personal reflection of thoughts and feelings regarding Peace Concept on Focus. Share your reflection with your FS teacher and classmates.

                In the classroom peace is very important and to achieve peace, fairness must exist in the four corner of the classroom. We must deal with the students fairly, no subjectivity at all. Treat them equally no matter who they are and what they are. Give an assessment that is appropriate in the teacher’s learning objectives, because fairness is not only a matter of the teacher’s attitude and how she’s dealing with her students it is also matter of giving appropriate, valid and noble assessment tool.
