Assessment in Affective
Domain
AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
Teacher Observation
- Teacher observation can be unstructured
or structured. It unstructured when observation
is open-ended. Teacher’s observation is not
limited to items in a checklist or rating scale.
- Teacher observation is structured when
he/she is guided in what to observe by a
checklist or rating scale.
To make teacher observation work in relation to the
assessment of affective learning, the following should be
observed.
Determine behaviors to be observed in advance
Record student’s important data such as time , data, and
place
Record both positive and negative behaviors.
Avoid personal bias, Be objective
-As teacher , we need to be careful about
our actions that may negatively impact on
student’s attitude which go straight into the
affective domain
-For instance, facial expression that reveal
sarcasm (Harsh), body movements that betray
distrust and dislike, should all be avoided.
Student Self-Report
- A student self-report requires the
student to provide an account of his/her
attitude or feelings toward a concept or idea or
people.
- A self-report is also referred to as “written
reflection”
Peer Ratings
- Another way is to ask the student’s peer
to rate him/her on affective items where
teacher wants to rate the student.
- Ideally, teacher’s observation of a
student’s realization of affective learning
outcome should coincide with students self-
report and that of peer rating of the student.
