Teaching Behavior of the Teacher/Learning

ASSESSMENT Application of the Principles of Learning

1. Assessment is an integral part of the

teaching-learning process

2. Assessment tool/activity should match with

performance objective

3. The results of assessment must be fed back

to the learners

4. Teachers must consider learners’ learning

styles and multiple intelligences and so must
come up with a variety of ways of assessing
learning.

5. Give some positive feedback along 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 in real world application that

favors realistic performances over out-of-
context drills.

9. Results of learning assessment must be

communicated regularly to parents.

Step 1. I will review appropriateness of assessment tools in
Assessment of Learning 2, 2007 by Santos, Rosita, pp. 11-22,
Assessment of Learning 1, 2007 by Santos, Rosita pp. 24-32
and other references

Step 2. I will observe 3 different classes, interview 3

Resource Teachers and request for documents from
them when necessary.

Step 3. I will identify proofs of the

use of these assessment tools
Step 4. Guided by a
question/questions, I will reflect
on my experience then write
down my reflection

Write down what you have learned on what to do to ensure validity of tests. Did you ever experience
taking a test which was very difficult because the items were not at all covered in class? How did it
affect you? How will you prevent your future pupils/students from experiencing the same?
