assessing students can be achieved through several ways. one of which is by focusing on the process by which the student displays his/her learning.

Summary/ Comments:
Performance assessment is a measure of assessment based on authentic tasks such as
activities, exercises, or problems that require students to show what they can do. Some
performance tasks are designed to have students demonstrate their understanding by applying
their knowledge to a particular situation. In this case, the students are tasked to design a school
blueprint through a series of activities/tasks that would lead them to the completion of their
designed school blueprint.
Performance tasks often have more than one acceptable solution; in this case the
students can design their own school building as long as the required figures are present in the
design. The process involves the use of higher-order thinking skills which enable the students to
build and solidify their own knowledge through experience.
OBSERVATION NOTES

3. Name of School Observed: Macabalan High School
Schol Address: Macabalan, Cagayan De Oro City
Date of Visit: 05 Dec. 2007
2nd Year
Grade/Year Level: Subject Area: English
Subject Matter: Christmas Learning Logbook
Describe in bullets the performance-based activity you observe.
My observation of the entire classroom activity is structured using the nine instructional
events as my guideline in describing the performance based activity in the class.
• The teacher started the class, with a strong voice, thereby gaining the attention of the
students. The teacher then, asked the students about their Christmas Logbook and their
preparation for their incoming culminating activity this December.
• The teacher then, gave the lesson objectives, which states that “at the end of the lesson,
the pupils should be able to: write effectively using their Christmas logbook.
• The teacher then, asked the students to raise their hands if they have experienced
writing diary’s, logbook or slam book in the past, and asked them to recall and share to
the class the things that are commonly, being written on it.
• The teacher then, told the students to bring out their required notebook that will serve as
their Christmas Learning Logbook, and then gave the required content of the Christmas
logbook, which is, to write their experiences during last year’s Christmas as far as they
could remember, on the first page. And then on the next pages, they will write their
experiences during this year’s Christmas, if they received a gift, they have to cut a
portion of it and paste it in the Christmas logbook, also included are cards or letters they
received this Christmas, and also paste there if they have a family picture. And then they
will share it with their respective groups on January next year.

4. • The teacher then, told the students to go to their respective groups, and start working on
their Christmas Learning Logbook, at this point, the students will write only their past
Christmas experience, and then share it to their group mates.
• The teacher, while listening to the students gave her inputs on the topics being
discussed in the group, and then checks also if the students were able to write on their
logbook based on the instruction she gave. The teacher took a sample logbook from a
pupil who did it well and told the students to do the same thing on their work.
• After the activity, the teacher asked to students to compare the Christmas logbook to a
diary and slam book and also what are their differences.
• At end of the session, the teacher instructs the students to continue working on their
Christmas Learning Logbook in their homes, and they will share it with their group mates
on January.

10. ANALYSIS
Do you think your originally designed process-oriented performance assessment can
appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? / Why not?
• Yes, because my process-oriented performance assessment gives more emphasis on
how the students were able to come up with a design based on the specifications that
were provided on them. Aside from that, the performance assessment design is aligned
with my objectives, thereby making the assessment appropriate not only with the
learning objectives but also with the entire task.
Why do teacher need to give attention to the students’ process-oriented tasks? Why do
they need to assess them?
• Because we want to know if the student’s strategy towards the given activity is in line
with our objectives. While we are also concern with the product of the activity, in the
performance-oriented assessment, we are also concern on how the student’s deal with
the given task in order to come up with a product and achieve the learning objectives.
In what conditions can the process-oriented performance assessment be used more
appropriately?
• When the students are given the task, which they have to do or perform. Like in this
case, the students will design a school building, in a blueprint format. In this example, we
want to measure if the particular student has internalized the lesson by dealing with the
task in a manner that is in accordance with the performance criteria that a teacher has
set.

11. REFLECTIONS
I feel confident with my personal strategies in constructing this process-oriented
performance assessment plan, in the sense that, though far from perfect, it is the reflection of
the level of knowledge and understanding I have so far, in the assessment 2 classes. In the
process of my field study and the construction of this assessment plan, I have encountered lot of
things I never knew before which has gradually improved my understanding in developing my
design for a process-oriented performance assessment. In accomplishing the field study task,
we were hindered by the availability of high school classroom where we intend to demonstrate
our performance task, forcing us to use simulation of the performance task among the students
of the College of Education.
Likewise my experience in the field study gave me a better insight on how the teacher
should facilitate learning from a diverse range of students. The application of teaching models in
a classroom environment by applying models such as Gagne’s nine instructional model, from
which I was able to observe in the classroom, and has served as my reference in developing my
assessment plan.
Finally, I have learned that Process-oriented performance based assessment provides
insight into students thinking, reasoning and motivation. It also helps support the development of
mental habits that lead to independent learning.
