SUPPLEMENTARY MODULE for Module No.

1
ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT: WRITING A METACOGNITIVE REFLECTION

Have you started collecting alternative assessment tools yet? Do you realize the importance of having a
repertoire of alternative assessment tools? The portfolio that you are developing in this course should
be a continuing one. When I return the portfolio, you should continue collecting more tools to include in
your portfolio. You will need them in later on when you do your practice teaching or when you become
a teacher. Meanwhile, in this supplementary module you will be introduced to the process of
metacognitive reflection. Examples of tools for metacognitive reflection are presented in this Module

I. Objectives
1. Identify the processes involved in writing metacognitive reflection.
2. State the importance of engaging in metacognitive reflection
3. Write a metacognitive reflection as part of the portfolio development in the course.

II. Anticipatory Set

If you haven’t started writing a brief episode of your college experience, pleasant or
otherwise, try these starters:
 Looking back… One choice….
 The change in me… To live differently, I would…
 Three things I remember…. If I were given another chance…
 My favorite part is… I lingering thought I have is ….
 One insight… The problem I am having ….

III. Lesson Proper


Learning is embedded in stories and vignettes students tell. As students relay the stories
behind the artifacts (in this course, the artifacts would be alternative assessment tools) they
have selected for their portfolios, learning comes alive for the learner and for the reader or
listener.

Metacognitive reflection is a crucial step in the portfolio process. Rather than completing
each artifact when assigned and then forgetting about the skills and lessons learned while
completing the assignment, reflection takes it one step further – students are made to
remember each artifact’s lesson and then place it in the context of the portfolio’s purpose.
Planning, monitoring, and evaluating each item in the portfolio and then reflecting on the
portfolio as a whole allows students to absorb the entire scope of what they have learned.

The entire metacognitive process is illustrated as follows:

Now I ask myself . . .

1. Why am I including this?


I feel that this is my
strongest writing of the year

2. Is this essential to my goal?


Yes – my goal was to improve
my writing skills this semester

3. How might I connect this to what comes before?


After?
The entries before this one shows
how little effort I put into my writing.
The entries after will show how my writing
keeps improving!
For EVALUATING, consider the project you are doing (PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT) and fill BOX A. The
first entry in the box is hypothetical, given as an example. For the ARTIFACT, write your project:
collection of alternative assessment tools.

IN – is when you started the project ARTIFACT - is your project


OUT – is when you finished it COMMENT – is how you feel about doing the project

Here are some more bridging questions to help you reflect (comment) on items in your portfolio:

1. Why have I chosen this piece?


2. What are its strengths and weaknesses?
3. Why is it important?
4. How and where does it fit in with what I already know?
5. What category does it fit into?
6. How might I label it appropriately?
7. What if I took it out of my portfolio?
8. How do I think others will react to it?
9. Pm a scale of 1-10, I give it a ____ because _______.
10. How do I really feel about this project?

IV. Assignment

Look for rubrics on assessing essays in your own field of specialization. Use any resource
available online or in printed sources.
