Analysis :

Why do teacher needs to give attention to students performance based tasks ? Why do they need to assess them ?

A teacher needs to give attention to students performance based tasks to know the skills and abilities of the students whether there is a progress or none, whether they really had acquired the skill or if the objective is attained. That is also the reason why they need to assess the students : to know if the objective is achieved.

In what conditions can the process oriented performance assessment be more appropriate ?

Process oriented performance assessment is a way of assessing in which the process of having such output is being rated. So in this assessment it involves the attitude, knowledge, habits and ability in which these are the factors how they come up to a certain performance or output. This assessment is more appropriate when rating an actual task performance of the activity. It is also useful if you want to know in what conditions student can work to arrive in a certain output. As a teacher if I want to grade the cluster of skills and abilities needed for the particular activity I can use this assessment. Example if I want to rate the abilities or skills in reciting a poem such as there memorization, their gestures upon reciting, the eye contact then this assessment is applicable.

Reflection

As what I had observed, being a teacher is not easy, it looks tiresome but enjoyable and somehow interesting and challenging. The performance based assessment and process oriented assessment can't just be rated like a paper and pen test that the accurate number of points is measurable or can be counted. In these assessments there is a need to create a rubric or list of criteria in order to assessed or rate the performance of the student properly and fairly and also the rubric will let the students know what are the aspects to be rated. So in these type of assessments also I had observed that the teacher and the students discussed about the criteria and objectives of the assessment so there is a conference done before the implementation of the task. So I think this kind of assessment help teachers and students to communicate well.

NOTES ON MY PROCESS-ORIENTED ASSESSMENT PLAN

Name of the School Observed : Bayabas National High School School Address : Bayabas, Cagayan de Oro City Date of Visit : July 23,2013 Grade/ Year Level : Grade 8 Subject Area : Physics Subject Matter : Ohm’s Law

Best Features of the process-oriented performance based assessment design. The best features of my process-oriented performance design is is that to show how efficient the students are in explaining the concept of the topic assigned in their own understanding and words.

Specific conditions necessary to successful use of process-oriented performance assessment design. T o successfully use this design there is a need to make a task prior to the objectives and give it to the students. Make sure there is a rubric attached for that certain task.

Basic points to be considered by the user in designing performance based assessment. The basic points to be considered by the user in designing performance based assessment are the resources and facilities or instruments and materials to be used. Be sure the resources to be used in the task given has high availability. Next is the money, it should be cheap more or less materials to be used are indigenous. Another point to consider is the people involved in the task and also the time to be spent upon making the task.
