Principles of Learning Assessment 1. Assessment is an integral part of the teachinglearning process. As I observed in the middle of the discussion,the teacher ask question to the learners and occurrence of ideas and exchange of knowledge were being noticed.This is one way to evaluate the understanding of the learners to the topic introduced to them. As I observe in the classroom,the activity that was given by the teacher is suitable for the performance objective.The teacher also introduced and viewed to the students some example of the contraceptives in order for the tacher to reach her objectives and for the learners to understand well the lesson. The learner has the right to see the fruits of his sacrifices and I noticed that the teacher has this principle in mind in a way that she returned the output of her students in a very usual way.I mean she give it back without degrading to those who got low and boosting to those who got high.

2. Assessment tool/activity should match with performance objective.

3. The results of assessment must be feedback to the learners.

4. Teachers must consider learners Learning styles and multiple intelligences and so come up with a variety of ways of assessing learning.

I observe that the teacher came up with different strategies and technique for the learners to motivate and develop their skills.The teacher introduce a lot of activities for the students reveal their own interest.

5. Give some positive feedback with not so good ones.

6. Emphasize on self assessment.

7. Assessment of learning should never be used as punishment or as disciplinary measure 8. Emphasize on real world application that favors realistic performances over out-of-context drills.

During the discussion,different opinion from the students were raised.Some opinions are well accepted and some were far beyond to the question thrown but then the teacher managed it.If the Answer of the learner was not exactly the point was she accepted and tried to elaborate so that the learners understand it well. The teacher assesses herself before intering to the room because self assessment is very important especially fo here because it is one way to evaluate if the strategies used is effective. Assessment of learning was not used to punished students intead it is used to measure the knowledge and understanding of the learners. I observed thet the teacher favors realistic performance because she gives activities thet the learners develop their skills such as drawing in relation with their lesson.The learners enjoyed their different activities. The teacher practice keeping accurate records and communicate them to parents in the best mean way possible.Records of the students progress were sent to the parents quarterly or every grading period.

9. Results of learning assessment must be communicated regularly to parents.

My Analysis Principle of Learning Assessment 1. Assessment is an integral part of the teachinglearning process.

Possible Consequence if Principle is NOT Observed Students want to know exactly what they have to do to gain good marks/grade . Teachers can do a lot to asssist them. If this integral part of teaching learning process not observed, the consequences are: theres a big gap between the learner and the teacher. And the student might not assess anymore how far they have learned. The prepared activity must coincide with the performance objectives to avoid consequences like confusion and can make students very anxious and lead to unproductive work. Giving feedback to the learners is essential because feedback is the only way to know if they have succeeded or failed. If they need to recover from failure or deepen their understanding, they need to have explanations and suggestions for improvement. If this is not observed,how the students can address their problems,how can they improve their grades? If the teacher did not determine the multiple intelligences of the students, they might not be enhance and develop their skills because intelligence is acquired depending on their environment and experiences.

2. Assessment tool/activity should match with performance objective.

3. The results of assessment must be feedback to the learners.

4. Teachers must consider learners Learning styles and multiple intelligences and so come up with a variety of ways of assessing learning.

5. Give some positive feedback with not so good ones.

Positive feedback can boost self-esteem, if this is not observed especially with not good ones; the consequence is their self confident will be degraded. And giving of positive feedback motivates students. Learning is personal process, then let the learner assess on their own with certain criteria. Let them be aware and reflect on their own progress because if this is not observed, the learners may compare themselves with other instead of testing their own improvement.

6. Emphasize on self-assessment.

7. Assessment of learning should never be used as punishment or as disciplinary measure. 8. Emphasize on real world application that favors realistic performances over out-of-context drills.

9. Results of learning assessment must be communicated regularly to parents.

The consequence will be distorts of the true purpose of the assessment. If this is not observed,the consequence is the assessment will not be fair because they will not develop higher thinking skills such as analyzing, evaluating and most of all creating. The consequences will be no more transparency and accountability.

My Reflection
As a student, do I remember any incident when any of these principles was or were violated by my teacher? How did it affect my classmates and me?

Way back on my high school days of learning, now I remember about the Principles of learning assessment which is giving positive feedback along with not so good,it was violated by my teacher in math.In the middle of our discussion,she called my name to answer the questions thrown to the class.I tried to answer the right thing I know and best way I possibly do but then unfortunately I did not got exactly the point was.Then she got mad and gives some improper words inside the class that spoiled our remaining time in that subject.A word like pathetic was cursed in my face in that moment of time.That words affects me so much that I feel too much shame, Im embarrassed in front of my fellow classmates? What would I feel? Since that time,I dont have a guts anymore to express my idea because I doubt and I always think that what is my mind is not appropriate and it is wrong, and I never want to get embarrassed again.

My Portfolio
Present the principles of assessment of learning in a very creative way.

Attainable objectives must be prepared Self-assessment for the teacher for the technique and Strategies must be appropriate so that
Evident output were achieved.

Sharing of knowledge inside the class is required Students understanding is tested


Measurement is needed to have meaningful Evaluation regarding their performance, Note the parents of the child To inform them about their performance,

Observed equality in the class no Favoritism among the students

Learn to appreciate the students Encourage them to participate And motivate them the best way you possibly do Return to them their output but Never criticize nor judge because Intelligence of learners will Never be the same instead Give them chance to develop their skills and apply to their daily living.
