Make reflections on your feelings and thoughts about the observations made in this FS.
From the observations we had conducted in this FS at Southern Philippines College, I
learned that performance-oriented assessment is important for teachers in assessing
student’s learning and necessary to be used in the classroom. In teaching, we aimed to
develop our students not just a student who “knows something” but should also “knows
how to do something”. In other words, as teachers, we ensure that our students acquire
skills and demonstrate or apply the knowledge they have gained from the instruction.
That’s when process-oriented assessment comes in, an integral part of learning. Performance
-based assessment is an assessment method that enables student to construct, demonstrate,
and apply the concepts they have learned from the instruction. Unlike the traditional
assessment methods that only requires student simply to recall knowledge which is the usual
paper and pencil test. I think it is the most authentic assessment to use because it requires
students to perform the actual activity that best demonstrates their deep understanding of a
lesson even though there are some limitations and considerations in using it. It allows teachers to directly assess and observe the performance of the students and can be the means to
improve their instruction. It also helps teachers to systematically evaluate students learning
through the performance of the activity.
through the performance of the activity.
