EPISODE 5

BUILD ME UP

Name of FS Student: Vanessa Joy B. Nera 

Course:                      Bachelor of Secondary Education
                                                           
Resource Teacher:     Mrs. Irene Alamon

Cooperating School:   Isabela National High School



My Target
           At the end of this activity, you will be skilful in designing product-oriented performance assessment.

Your Task
            Design a product-oriented performance assessment by going through the process through the following steps:
1.       Visit a class and identify product-oriented activities.
2.       Choose one product-oriented activity and study the process.
3.       Design a performance assessment plan for the product-oriented activity you have chosen.
4.       Develop a portfolio of your assessment plan.
5.       Reflect on your experience.




OBSERVATION NOTES


Name of the School Observed: Isabela National High School
School Address: Claravall St. San Vicente Ilagan Isabela
Date Visited:  March 12, 2015
Grade/Year Level: Grade VII- Ipil
Subject Area: Geometric Figures(Mathematics)



Describe in bullets the product-oriented activity you observe.

v The teacher required her students to make a “TESSELLATION” comes from the small square ceremictites called “TESSERAE” that the Romans used to create mosaic tile designs. A Tessellation in which tiles are congruent regular polygon whose edges exactly match called Regular tessellation.
v The Product-Assessment will work by two(2) students in tessellation.
v The teacher explained the instruction and criteria for the product/outcome project.
v The Tessellation must put in 1/8 illustration board.
v The students must use 2-3 polygons
v The tessellation must clean, neat and creative.
v There’s no overlapping and no spacing.
v And the final output will be past before the 4th Periodical Examination.







MY ASSESSMENT PLAN


Learning Objectives

The students will be able:
·        To identify different types of polygon.
·        To determine the vertex/vertices of a polygon.
·         To determine the interior angles of a polygon.


General Product-oriented performance Task:

                      The students shall work individually; they will form polygons using match sticks.





Target Skills: 
      
             Familiarize the students will the classifications of polygons and to abilities and skills in identifying the vertices/vertex and interior angles of a polygon.


Learning Activities (Specific tasks):


1.      The students must consider each piece of a match stick as a side of a polygon.
2.      The students shall form triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, and heptagon.
3.      The students shall answer the following questions;
·        How many sides does it have?
·        How many vertices does it have?
·        How many interior angles does it have?
       4.     Paste it on a Bond paper.
       5.     Clean, Neat and Creative.
       6.     Will be passing on March, 18, 2015.


Assessment Tasks:

The making of the product will be evaluated through the following criteria:


Criteria
Level of Performance
3
2
1
Appearance
All construction is clean and attractive. The match sticks edges are fix connected to each other. Visually appealing.
It is messy at times and .the match sticks /polygon edges are slightly fixed.
Design is unattractive and the match sticks edges are not fix.
Construction
Complete the required polygons to be form and answer the questions correctly.
Finish at least 2-3 polygons. and answer the questions correctly
Finish only one polygon. And did not answer the question correctly.




NOTES ON MY PRODUCT-ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN


Name of the School Observed: Isabela National High School
School Address: Claravall St. San Vicente Ilagan Isabela
Date Visited:  March 12, 2015
Grade/Year Level: Grade VII- Ipil
Subject Area: Number of Vertices and Interior Angles of a                         Polygon(Mathematics)



What are the best features of my product-oriented performance assessment design?
               The best feature of my product-oriented performance assessment design was it contains best output of the students; it enhances the knowledge, abilities, skills and creativity of every learner.






What specific conditions are necessary for a successful use of my product-oriented performance assessment design?
            
            For successful use of product-oriented performance assessment design, it must consider the learning objectives and it must set a basis in grading the students by using a rubric.
It attains the criterion on my product-oriented assessment design.


What basic points should the user of this design consider?

          
            The rubric must be considered because it can help to judge the students output and it can help the students on how they improve their projects/output the next time.



Analysis

1.     Do you think your originally design product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? Why not?

         Yes, because, it not only assess the lower competencies but also the higher order thinking skills like creativity, and applications that fit and appropriate as well as related to the learning objectives


2.     Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?

Product is a very important matter that reflects learner. The teacher needs to assess his/her students to evaluate how far the students learned and if it’s related to the concept and what and how it will improve next time.




3.     In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be need more appropriately?

Product-Oriented Performance Assessment can be used to measure students’ creativity. It will measures psycho motor domain on how the students able to perform the desired task base on the output of his performance.
Here are the some conditions to be made directly or indirectly:
·        the learners competencies where enough to sustain the task
·        Interest and objective should be match.
·        And the learning environment was suitable for them.
·        resources and time



                            Reflections


Write your reflection of thoughts, feelings, personal learning strategies, insights or new understand


             After almost 3 months of observing in Isabela National High School and answering the question in Field Study 5. I have a lot of things realized, that as a future teacher we should be observant and give attention to our students because all of them have individual differences and capabilities that we should bring out from them and help them to improve. I also realized that being a teacher we should know how to deal with our student especially the bullies and the lack of attention.
         In giving assessment task it should be planned carefully and aligned with the learning objectives. Giving assessment task we should consider always the learners, learning objectives, resources, time (the task should be time-bounded) and the limitation of the task.

Lastly being a teacher is not just to teach but we need to train and inspire our students. “TEACHING is not just a profession but it’s a PASSION” passion to love, share and inspire your students
