Rationale

Authentic assessments are assessments that require students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts. They are designed to mirror the types of tasks that professionals in a given field might be expected to complete, such as solving a real problem, conducting a project, or creating a product. The rationale behind utilizing authentic assessments lies in the belief that traditional assessments, such as multiple-choice tests and quizzes, do not always accurately measure a student's ability to apply their knowledge in practical situations. By using authentic assessments, educators can gain a more comprehensive understanding of a student's abilities and can better assess their readiness for further education or for entry into the workforce.

One theoretical basis for the use of authentic assessments is constructivist theory, which posits that learners construct their knowledge through actively engaging with the material and making sense of it in their own ways. Authentic assessments align with this theory by requiring students to apply their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways, which can enhance their understanding and retention of the material. Additionally, authentic assessments promote critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration skills, all of which are important for success in the 21st century workforce.

The importance of authentic assessments in ensuring quality education cannot be overstated. Traditional assessments often focus on rote memorization and regurgitation of facts, which can limit students' ability to think critically, solve problems, and apply their knowledge in real-world contexts. Authentic assessments, on the other hand, provide a more holistic picture of a student's abilities and can help educators identify areas where students may need additional support or enrichment. By using authentic assessments, educators can better prepare students for success in their academic and professional lives.

From a personal perspective, we believe that authentic assessments play a crucial role in the development of learners. As someone who values hands-on learning and practical application of knowledge, we have seen firsthand how authentic assessments can challenge students to think creatively, work collaboratively, and strive for excellence. By engaging with real-world problems and projects, students can develop skills that are not only relevant to their academic success but also to their future career endeavors. In this way, authentic assessments can empower students to become lifelong learners who are capable of adapting to a rapidly changing world.

Reflection

Narratives of Learnings and realization


  • Franzoise Andrei Alojado
    As the school year meets its fleeting end, I can’t help to think but reminisce my learnings and accumulated knowledge and experiences throughout this academic year.  This school year has been tough I can never deny that all those challenges is a necessary step towards my goal of being a great teacher.  The learning evidences that was given to us provided my with depth and deeper understanding of the technicalities in the process of teaching. Remembering those rigorous process of making assessment materials—tests, table of specifications, item analysis, and objectives made me critical on the details when creating them. However, I can’t really say that I can perfect them, but at least I know where to start when I am given a chance to make them in the future. That said, learning these “basics” of learning assessments made me appreciate the values and importance of the process of making them—it is as important as the test itself. In all of those learning activities, the feedbacks are what really helps me the most, well, I learn more effectively on my mistakes and throughout this year, I sure made a lot of them, but it also given me the opportunity to learn from them.

  • Carl Jayson Candelario
    The courses Assessment in Learning are vital courses towards my professional evolution. Through these courses, I was able to engage with lessons that are beneficial in my future roles as an educator. Our teacher enabled us to explore and actively personify the actual work of teachers. The activities that we did are really helpful towards my professional development. I was able to get inspiration for my future teaching strategies that are beneficial for myself and my students.  I was able to embark on different learning opportunities that enhanced my view towards my chosen profession and honed my personal strengths. I was also able to form beneficial relationships towards my peers and created a comfortable environment with them. These learning opportunities provided me an avenue where I was able to benefit from and provide others for their own development. One of my most memorable experiences is when our teacher tasked us to conduct pilot testing. I was able to create a test questionnaire, conduct several tests with regards to the questions and the actual application of the test in St. Joseph School-La Salle. I was able to interact with the current principal and learned a few tips. I was also able to reminisce my math lessons during my high school years because of the application of the measures of central tendencies in the results of our tests. I also learned new mathematical equations and solutions. Through these experiences, I was able to delve into different assessment strategies that can be applied as a teacher. I learned various perspectives and approach towards the analysis of my students’ learning. These lessons are not solely applicable in my professional status but also with my personal well-being. This has been a very productive course for me targeting my ability to assess and incorporate my learnings towards my personal endeavors. An advantageous learning opportunity indeed!

    Learning assessment 2 in EDCN 107 focused on the application of assessment principles in the context of teaching and learning. Throughout this assessment, I gained valuable insights into the importance of using a variety of assessment techniques to evaluate student learning and progress. One of the key takeaways from this assessment was the concept of formative assessment. I learned that formative assessment provides continuous feedback to students and teachers, helping to identify areas of strength and weakness in student understanding. This type of assessment allows for timely interventions and adjustments to instruction, ultimately leading to improved student learning outcomes. I also learned about the importance of aligning assessments with learning objectives. By ensuring that assessments are closely tied to specific learning goals, teachers can accurately determine whether students have achieved the intended outcomes. This alignment helps to make assessment more meaningful and relevant to students, as they can see the direct connection between their efforts and their progr3ss, I gained an understanding of the benefits of using a variety of assessment methods. By incorporating different types of assessments, such as quizzes, projects, and performance tasks, teachers can gather a more comprehensive picture of student learning. This varied approach to assessment also enables teachers to cater to diverse learning styles and preferences, creating a more inclusive and equitable learning environment. Moving forward, I plan to apply these principles in my own future teaching practice, using assessment as a tool to inform instruction and promote student growth and achievement.

  • Niechelle Kyte P. Egol 
    In this course, EDCN 107 Assessment in Learning, I learn and unlock new knowledge about assessments and realization about myself. In this field, I discovered different learnings that I can totally adhere to and learn as a future teacher. Assessment is essential in teaching and learning as it helps educators understand and adapt to individual student needs, provides valuable feedback for students and teachers, measures teaching effectiveness, and promotes accountability and transparency in the education system. As I ride along with this course, I face struggles and difficulties. Sometimes, I get stressed, especially when the deadline is near. I actually learned to love making test questionnaires because of this course. I was fond of making questions and got excited when we conducted the pilot testing in Hinigaran National High School, since I was able to experience first hand the moment of standing in front of many students , talking to them, explaining what they were going to do. It was quite difficult from making the TOS and creating the test questionnaire but it was a fun experience since I have learned so many things. I also learn the importance of GRASPS and Rubrics in assessing and measuring the learning of the students as well as how the teacher will guide and grade the students. It helps me as a future teacher to open my eyes in the realization that teachers should be more flexible and give concrete directions for the students to follow. Making sample authentic assessments is also tough, thinking what activity or assessment will make and rubrics to create. This course helps me a lot, improve my skills as a future teacher and establish a good way of critical thinking and especially to think outside the box. It was not an easy ride but as I look back to all the activities that we had, I can tell myself that I have done my part and created another version of myself that will help me in my future profession as an English Major.

  • Jozel Fontanilla
    This course essentially opened new windows for us to explore what is in store for us as future teachers. Similarly, authentic assessments allow us to explore more of our talents, skills, and creativity. EDCN107 presents a new perspective to assessing learning which focuses on both the process and the product made by the learners. It takes into consideration the pragmatic aspect of an activity that combines content and real-life implications; moreover, it serves as building blocks to prepare the learners for future social roles. Authentic assessments are vital in the learning process because it encourages a meaningful application of knowledge and skills; it goes beyond the pen and paper tests that are usually administered in classrooms. Although authentic assessment appears subjective, EDCN107 taught us ways on how to integrate objectivity in grading the activity. Through the GRASPS Framework and making a scoring rubric, we can ensure that students can perform what is expected of them and establish fairness in grading their outputs and performance. As a future educator, it is necessary to not only know about the related concepts, but also to experience how it is done. For instance, in this course, we made a detailed instruction of an authentic assessment relevant to our course using the GRASPS framework. After which, we also created a scoring rubric to serve as a guide on how the learners' performance must be graded. We also experienced how to make test questionnaires, administer a test in a classroom, and analyze the results of the test in Assessment 1. In other subjects, authentic assessments are those activities that prepare us to be an effective teacher in our field of specialization. This course taught us to appreciate every learning experience, enjoy the process, collaborate, learn from one another, and learn from what we do.

  • Dianne Marie Gabiño
    This course helped me in different aspects. I became more aware of how to assess a student in a proper way. This involves the assessment of their works in a credible and reliable one. I am also now  knowledgeable about the difference between traditional and authentic assessment and on how to put this into practice in various  subjects. Through this course, it honed my understanding and critical thinking about how it can affect, relate, and build the teaching and learning process. The importance of EDCN107 has unlocked something in me that became a great contribution in my future. As an inspiring teacher, this can help my progression in teaching growth.

    I learned in Edcn 107  is a crucial component of the educational process. It serves as a tool for both students and educators to gauge the effectiveness of the learning experience and to measure the attainment of learning objectives. As a student, engaging in course assessments has allowed me to reflect on my own understanding of the material, identify areas of strength and weakness, and track my progress over time. It also provided me with valuable feedback from instructors, which has helped me to understand where I need to focus my efforts and improve my understanding of the subject matter. Additionally, assessments have motivated me to stay on track with my studies and to strive for continuous improvement. Edcn 107 is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of teaching methods and curriculum design. They provide valuable insights into the learning needs and progress of students, allowing instructors to make necessary adjustments to their teaching strategies and to provide additional support where. This course has been an integral part of my educational journey, helping me to stay focused, motivated, and accountable for my learning. It has also provided me with valuable feedback and insights that have contributed to my overall growth and development as a student.

  • Dollrine Gomed
    The first thing I learned was about authentic assessment. Authentic assessment is a form of evaluation that allows students like me to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of what we have learned. This approach goes beyond traditional testing methods, requiring us to demonstrate our understanding through practical tasks, projects, and presentations. As a future educator Authentic assessment equips skills to create more engaging and applicable evaluation methods, enhancing students' learning experiences. The course also covered traditional assessments, which typically include tests, quizzes, and exams. These forms of assessment are more structured and standardized, often focusing on factual recall and basic understanding. Despite some criticisms, traditional assessments are still widely used and provide valuable information about a student's understanding of the course material. This edcn journey also involved learning how to create and develop a scoring rubric. Rubrics are essential tools in assessment, providing clear criteria for grading student work. They help ensure consistency and fairness in evaluation, and provide students with clear expectations for their work. Learning to develop a robust scoring rubric is a valuable skill for any educator, enhancing their ability to assess student performance effectively. Lastly, and the most enjoyable part is from collaborating with classmates. Collaboration is a key aspect of professional development, fostering a sense of community, encouraging the exchange of ideas, and enhancing learning through peer interaction. This aspect of the journey not only enriched the learning experience but also fostered skills in teamwork and cooperation, which are essential for educators. In conclusion, the ProfEd journey provided various aspects of assessment, equipping our individual skills with practical skills and knowledge for their role as a future educator. It also highlighted the importance of collaboration in professional learning, reinforcing the idea that education is a collective endeavor.

  • Lili Cris Hermogenes
    This course, EDCN107, has been instrumental in shaping me as a future teacher. I've learned crucial aspects of the teaching profession, from understanding the significance of assessments to mastering the DepEd grading system. Through discussions and presentations, I've grasped important concepts and realized the profound impact assessments have on students' learning and teachers' professional development. This course has given me a deeper understanding of the education system and different teaching approaches. It's shown me how powerful teaching can shape students' lives. As a pre-service teacher, I'm eager to bring positive change to education and make learning more meaningful for my future students.

  • Renrose Holigon
    Throughout this course, I have taken a critical view to the education system and have become more aware of the effects of assessment on shaping teaching and learning. This course has been an extremely valuable learning experience and one that has allowed me to critically reflect on my own teaching and future. In considering assessment 'as', 'for' and 'of' learning, my understanding of assessment and how it relates to curriculum has been greatly expanded. By learning how to design assessments that are valid and reliable, I can see how they can be a true reflection of student learning. Creating assessments that promote lifelong learning and enthusiasm is something that I have tried to work on but can see that there are many constraints within education that hinder this progress. Overall, I feel I have gained a better understanding of assessment with regards to its positive and negative effects on student learning.

  • Nicole Baclibar
    In our first semester and second semester of Prof Ed in EDCN 105 and 107, I truly gained so many lessons that I can put in myself as a student who is still learning things. It is a big help for me to experience those activities that we have done to practice myself as I become a teacher someday. From making questionnaires, TOS, rubrics , authentic assessment, GRASP, and more. These activities we’ve done are such a big help and will also guide me as a future educator. Reflecting on what I've learned, I realize that the skills and knowledge I've gained in creating questionnaires, developing Table of Specifications (TOS), crafting rubrics, implementing authentic assessment, and understanding GRASPS are important tools for my future career as an educator. These elements are important in designing effective learning experiences and assessments that not only measure my understanding but also promote deeper learning. As a future educator, I can apply these skills in various ways. In creating questionnaires, I really learn that you are not just easily create a question on your own, but creating questionnaires have also correct way on how to do it. Sir Mark taught us how to create a questions correctly. The TOS will guide me in aligning assessments with learning objectives, ensuring that I am accurately measuring my understanding of the key concepts and skills. Implementing authentic assessments will allow me to evaluate my ability to apply learning in real-world contexts, promoting higher-order thinking skills. The GRASP model will guide me in creating meaningful and engaging learning tasks that reflect real-world challenges, and further enhancing learning experiences. Lastly, developing clear and fair rubrics will ensure that I understand what is expected and how the work will be evaluated. Overall, all the activities that we have done can truly guide me, help me, and making me aware of the things that teachers do, and as a student, I should know about these activities when preparing myself for the future. These activities are not easy, I somehow find them difficult and stressful, but I know this will be all worth to learn. I am sure that all the knowledge, skills I acquired and learned from EDCN 105 and 107 is a big help for my future career as an educator. Aside from the activities that we have done, I also learned three things that I should have. First is responsibility. Responsibility to do your work and the assign tasks in order to make everyone's work smooth. Second is determination. The determination you have in yourself as a student is important because this course is not easy, and this determination will help you reach your goal. And lastly, teamwork. Working with anyone is really fun if each of you fulfills your obligations individually, and that makes your work run smoothly. It’s really fulfilling if the task on which you have collaborated becomes successful.

  • Zarah Pagaygay
    Assessment in learning is an essential aspect of education that plays a significant role in measuring students’ understanding, progress and development. As an aspiring educator, I value the importance of assessment in evaluating students’ performance and improving learning outcomes. Our first and second semester was all about creating the test questionnaires, Table of Specification (TOS), creating criteria, GRASP and a lot more. Through these activities, it opened my eyes to the reality and the amount of work the teachers have to do aside from plainly teaching. It is a huge obligation and a crucial job a person can do. As I’ve reflected on the things that I’ve learned, I realized that these things were not just about a lesson to be remembered but an actual thing a teacher has to do and these are the parts of its job. And as a future educator, I believe that the things I’ve learned will be very helpful and beneficial to my field as a teacher someday even if it’s a bit difficult and substantial. Therefore, these learning activities is both challenging and beneficial to my growth since it imparted a lot of knowledge and ideas as I walk through the journey of education.

  • Janine Quijote
    The learning process I've had in EDCN107 is extraordinary as it emphasizes the need of context in learning. Whether it's traditional or authentic assessments it expands our thoughts to be creative in every way we do. It requires our understanding in having projects, performance tasks or portfolios. Authentic assessments are the building blocks of applying the needs in evaluating different strategies, creativities, and exploring all throughout the examination in the process of learning. From each basis of scaffolding we've had the GRASPS Framework it is used for organizing, delivering, and assessing a project-based assessment. This assessment has a structure of its own expectations and goals. Assigning different roles within the team ensured that each member had specific responsibilities, leading to a more efficient workflow. Clear delineation of tasks prevented overlap and confusion. Focusing on the end product, whether it be a digital portfolio, a presentation, or a combination of both, guided the creation process. Striving for excellence in the final output drove the quality of our work. Overall, the integration of the GRASPS framework, adherence to scoring rubric criteria, and collaborative efforts were instrumental in the successful creation of our E-portfolio.

Conclusion

As students aspiring to be teachers, one of the cutting-edge advantages that we are proud of are our learning experiences. We have been honed and are still being honed through active and practical activities that act as vital lessons towards becoming La Sallian Educators. Through the guidance of our expert professors and advisers, we were able to practice and personify the lived experiences and roles of teachers through numerous tasks and activities. Thus, despite the lack of practical and on-site experience, we can say that we are learning effectively in a pace that effectiveness and efficiency are not compromised. 

These learning experiences not only revolve around paper and pen activities but were also delivered creatively. Our tasks varied from creating simple research papers to having performed several plays. These variations in learning activities stimulated not only our cognitive abilities but also molded our distinct and special skills. We were able to display our strengths and address our weaknesses that assisted our development. We were urged to evolve into beings that are one step closer to our ideal selves: a teacher with faith, a passion for service, and the drive to achieve one communal mission of development.          

The efforts invested to craft this course to add substantial knowledge and skills to equip us as future teachers is remarkable. We appreciate all the learning experiences that occurred in the classroom that allowed us to expand our knowledge and perspectives. However, there are areas that we recommend to be improved and be discussed further. First, we think it would be more helpful if there is an in-depth discussion of the rubric and the technicalities involved, especially in assigning numeric equivalence to each domain. Next, to give more examples on how to determine which areas must be evaluated as part of the rubric vis-a-vis various authentic assessments. Lastly, it would be better if students can experience how to create a physical portfolio to encourage students creativity; it can also be part of their exposure in creating traditional visual aids. Generally, we had a marvelous time learning, and expanding our horizon. We immensely appreciate the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and insights that will aid us in our future careers.

What we have learned...

Franzoise Andrei Alojado

The assessment tool for the affective domain
has taught me new heights. I am not really fond in the affective domain, but doing this activity has developed my skills in creating assessments in this domain. It also made me used to developing assessments in a creative way, garnering ideas that wasn’t tried before just to keep my students entertained and also having meaningful experiences so they can learn. That said, I also encountered some hardships while doing this activity, as I’ve said, it made me used to thinking creatively, but the process isn’t easy. I had to search for inspirations, look for the trend, and seek ideas that weren’t already mainstream. Overall, this activity taught me things that I can apply in the real world. I hope that I’ll remember these skills when I am already a teacher. 
Making the analysis of DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 wasn’t that hard compared to the others. Doing this activity was more of a group effort as we divided the tasks equally and each of us learned from it. The most rewarding part of this activity is when we are able to provide insights to the existing system that is currently used in our public schools. That said, the feedback that our professor gave us was detailed enough to improve ourselves as a future teacher. This experience taught me the importance of a holistic view. I believe as future teachers, we need to look at a lens that encapsulates the whole school and make decisions that will make the learning experience of the students exceptional. 
Looking back, doing the simulation on our Parent-teacher conference really developed my sense of responsibility. Although it is just a simulation, the feedbacks of our professor made us certain of the things that we shouldn’t do and should do when the real scenario happens in real life. Overcoming the initial hurdle of being pressured in a parent-teacher conference made me feel more confident in my abilities. The one thing that I really learned in this activity is that I should really stay calm when things are pressed. Being calm keeps you mindful of the possibilities that you can do in the situation, and at the same time, it makes you professional. Overall, this simulation activity gave me the knowledge and somewhat standard application skills when the real thing happens. 

Throughout this course, I learned to be rational and open-minded. Doing things on a bigger scale won't help you if you’re hogging all the work, as I’ve learned the hard way– you can’t carry all the burden at once. It is such a relief when the work is equally distributed in the class, I was able to do more, not just in this subject, but in my other subjects as well. Of course, I also learned essential skills that I can apply in doing my assessments in the future. This course is really experience-focused. Those meaningful experiences that I had in this course really helped me boost my confidence as a future teacher. The detailed feedback from our professor took away my uncertainties about every decision that was made in our activities. Again, this course has made me rational and open-minded, I now approach things differently, I now see the bigger picture and solve things in a way that a professional should do. This course has given me the blueprint, and I am willing to take it to heart when I will become a teacher.

This collaborative approach not only allowed me to do more in this subject, but in my other subjects as well, by freeing up valuable time and mental energy. Of course, I also learned essential skills that I can apply in doing my assessments in the future.
This course truly embodied the value of experience-based learning. Those meaningful experiences that I had in this course really helped me boost my confidence as a future teacher. The detailed feedback from our professor, focusing on both strengths and areas for improvement, was invaluable. It took away my uncertainties about every decision that was made in our activities, fostering a growth mindset. In essence, this course has not only made me rational and open-minded, but it has also fundamentally reshaped my approach to problem-solving. I now see the bigger picture and strive to solve things in a way that a professional educator would. This course has given me the blueprint for success, and I am committed to taking its lessons to heart when I become a teacher myself.

DEPED ORDER No. 8 s. 2015
This activity aimed to awaken us, the learners, to analyze and further our knowledge about the policy guidelines on the classroom assessment for the K to 12 of the basic education program.  This enabled us to enhance our understanding of how assessments are being done and projected through various assessment tools and analysis. We were able to identify salient ideas, identify the strengths and weaknesses of the assessment guidelines, and formulated our personal suggestions to enhance the current context of the DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015. We have done several actions to achieve our final results. We read the article and analyze the contents. We delegated each of our group members a task where they attend to the questions. Then, we created a google docs to which we compiled our answers. After our analysis of the content, we presented it to the class. This whole activity journeyed us towards how assessments in school is being done. We were also exposed towards the provision and scope of the DepEd Order and how we think the contents of the D.O. should be revised. With this activity, I was able to deepen my knowledge towards the assessment process and the legal provision assessment was rooted from.

ROLE PLAYING
This role playing activity was done to stimulate our critical thinking skills and adaptability to real life situations as a professional teacher. We were able to enact a particular scene concerning how a teacher should react and solve a problem revolving around a mistake made by the teacher in his record of a student’s grade. This was done through a simulation where each member played a role to portray. We planned on how we deliver the skit and made our own script. The one vital aspect that was considered was the course of action that the teacher must take to address the problem. Considerations such as principles, values, rightness, and morality of the teacher’s actions are needed to be thought thoroughly. Upon discussion of the action plan, we created our script in accordance with the planned discussion. We then presented the skit in front of the class. This enabled us to ponder on how we personally address issues as a future professional educator. It became an avenue for us to think critically and reflect on our principles as professionals.

ASSESSMENT FOR AFFECTIVE DOMAIN
The purpose of this activity was to practice our practical skills in formulating our own assessments that targets the affective domain of learning. This was made to assess whether we are able to create activities aligned with our major. We were able to tackle and identify the types of assessments that are applicable onto our major. We were also tasked to explain the processes of how these assessment can be done. We were able to achieve this artifact by consolidating our prior knowledge and past experiences in some of our subjects and the inspiration from them. After some discussion, we decided which ones do we want to utilize. We came up of three final tasks and then made a description of each task. Making this task was very informational and beneficial for me. I was able to see my peers’ perspective and their creative abilities in making assessments. This enabled me to increase my knowledge and horizon towards making activities to assess the affective aspect of my future learners.

This end term has been an informative and transformational journey for me. I was able to increase my knowledge and creativity in formulating various easements mainly in addressing the affective domain of the students. We were exposed to active platforms and mind stimulating activities to. Exercise our skills as a future evaluator. Together with my peers, we discover new avenues in performing our duties and responsibilities as future educators. With this, we get to experience practical experiences of a teacher. As a future educator, these experiences honed me and my roster of skills to a higher level which ensures the quality of teaching I may be able to provide my future learners. It has been an unforgettable and fulfilling experience to be able to take part on these endeavors furthering our understanding and be able to hone our outlook into seeing the teaching and learning process holistically.


Niechelle Kyte Egol 

The Assessment tool for the Affective Domain was created for us to be able to create our own authentic assessment with an affective domain. It will help us analyze the objectives of an affective domain and be able to create a realistic activity with an affective domain for the students on authentic assessments. At first we searched some ideas on google for us to have a deeper knowledge on what we are going to do. As a future English teacher, there are a lot of authentic assessments that a teacher can give especially in an English class. We made our own activity and we called it " Literary Empathy Journal" . This activity will not just help students gain knowledge about Literary but also can empathize with the characters of the story. To foster their emotional growth, and cultural understanding. Thinking of this activity is not easy since it should be our original activity but thanks to my fellow members we came up with this idea. There's not a lot of challenges we faced, it's just on the creation of this activity. I learned that as an English teacher, I should think of something that can raise the excitement of the students in doing the activities that I will give them. It's not about just the activity but also the lesson that they will receive and the knowledge that they will foster in the end. So as a teacher, it is important to give students an activity that will hone their skills and be creative in any aspects of their life and for us also to be innovative and make an effort to do good for our students.

The Analysis of Dep-ed Order no. 8 s2015 was created for us future educators will be able to have knowledge about the Dep-ed Order and for us to analyze the curriculum and be aware of what's the revolving agenda of teachers inside the classroom. How they grade the students, what activities should they provide and the specific knowledge about a certain ideas inside and outside the classroom. The artifact was developed as we read first the Dep-ed Order and dig deeper on what it is all about. We also enable to discuss it with one another on how to revise the K-12 Curriculum Guide. At first it was hard, since sometimes I could not easily contact my members and actually we clutched it. I learned after I analyze the Dep-Ed Order is  that as a teacher, we should always grade students fairly and should always look for their performances rather than just giving them some test since it will give them a really hard time. As a future teacher also, it is my duty to help their progress on the activities that is necessary for their growth. Also, I was able to identify its strengths and weaknesses and be able to highlight the important things in the Dep-Ed Order. It gives me realization as a future educator on what my profession is all about.

The Resolution of  Parent-Teacher Simulation was created so that as future educators, we have knowledge about what's going on inside the classroom and what are some challenges that a teacher would face in the school, in the students or even with the parents. It gives us an overview of the situations that are relevant today and that are really happening in the everyday life of a teacher. It gives us experience on how to resolve such issues or problems inside the classroom. This artifact was developed by making a script so we could perform it in the classroom. We choose who will be doing the teacher, the two students, and the mother. We didn't have time to practice so we just studied and memorized our script and gave instructions via messenger. We don't face challenges as we create this artifact since it was like an easy thing to do and we managed to perform it well in the classroom and memorize the script. Since I am the one who portrays the role of the teacher, I learned that it is not necessary to talk to the parent that they are pressuring their child, since it may cause trouble or discomfort to the parent especially if the students didn't say anything to you. As a teacher we should think first before we deal with the problem, for us to be able to solve it properly and will not make any problem with the relationship of the teacher and the parent. Since both the teacher and the parent are guiding the student, they should cooperate in helping the growth of the child. It gives me knowledge that as a teacher we should not make decisions easily and we should be the one who will tell the parents about their child. It is important to make good connections and relationships with both parents and students.

All this artifacts have give me such a wonderful experience and taught me a different kind of lessons that is surely helpful as a future educator. I have unlocked understanding about the Dep-Ed Order and was able to have a chance to revise it on what things I want to do in that curriculum. I was able also to create my own authentic assessment and create affective domains for it. I also begin to understand how hard to be a teacher not just in teaching them but also in making

As I reflect on the topics of conflict, persuasive essays, and literary empathy journals,
I am reminded of the importance of human connection and understanding in our interactions with others. When it comes to types of conflict, I realize that conflicts often arise due to misunderstandings or a lack of empathy towards others. By taking the time to listen and understand the perspectives of others, we can often find common ground and resolve conflicts in a more peaceful and respectful manner. This human connection is essential in improving relationships and fostering a sense of community. In the realm of persuasive essays, I see the power of using our words to not only convey our beliefs and arguments but also to appeal to the emotions and values of our audience. By injecting personal anecdotes and engaging storytelling into our essays, we can create a more compelling and convincing argument that resonates with readers on a deeper level. This human element adds depth and sincerity to our writing, making our message more impactful and persuasive. Byy humanizing our approach to these topics and focusing on the importance of empathy, understanding, and connection, we can improve our relationships, communication, and overall well-being. Let us strive to cultivate a greater sense of humanity in all that we do, both in our personal interactions and in our academic pursuits.

The DepEd Order No. 8 series of 2015 is an important document that outlines the guidelines for the implementation of the K to 12 curriculum in the Philippines. One interesting aspect of this order is that it recognizes the different interpretations of the curriculum by three groups of reporters. This reflects the diversity of perspectives and experiences within the education sector.The fact that there are multiple interpretations of the curriculum highlights the complexity of implementing educational reforms. It is important for educators to understand and respect the various perspectives that different stakeholders bring to the table. By acknowledging and addressing these diverse views, it is possible to create a more inclusive and effective curriculum that meets the needs of all learners. DepEd Order No. 8 series of 2015 serves as a reminder of the importance of collaboration and communication in education. By working together and valuing the insights of different groups, we can create a curriculum that is relevant, engaging, and empowering for all students.

In my experience, I have observed that some of my classmates tend to engage in role playing when it comes to their grades. They may put on a facade of being diligent and hardworking in front of teachers and parents, while in reality, they may not be putting in the necessary effort to succeed academically. As a student, it can be frustrating to see classmates resort to such tactics to achieve success, especially when it comes to being on the honor lists. It not only undermines the efforts of those who genuinely work hard and deserve recognition, but it also sends a message that success can be achieved through deception rather than genuine effort. In such situations, it is important for teachers to handle the matter sensitively and with integrity. Pressuring a student to perform solely for the purpose of being on the honor lists can be detrimental to their overall well-being and can create unnecessary stress and anxiety. Instead, teachers should focus on nurturing a positive learning environment where all students are encouraged to do their best and are supported in their academic journey. It is essential for both students and teachers to uphold the values of honesty, integrity, and hard work in order to cultivate a culture of academic excellence that is truly meaningful and fulfilling.

As I reflect on this semester and the lessons learned in Assessment in Learning 2, I am struck by the importance of understanding the various assessment methods used in education and how they impact student learning and growth. Throughout the semester, we have delved into the different types of assessments, including formative and summative assessments, as well as the importance of providing timely and constructive feedback to students. I have learned that assessments should not only measure a student's understanding of the material but also provide valuable insights into their strengths and areas for improvement. I have also come to appreciate the role of assessment in promoting student engagement and motivation. When assessments are designed thoughtfully and align with learning objectives, students are more likely to be actively involved in their own learning and strive for academic success. Moreover, the lessons learned in Assessment in Learning 2 have reinforced the idea that assessments should be fair, reliable, and valid in order to accurately measure student performance. It is crucial for educators to continuously reflect on their assessment practices and make adjustments as needed to ens

Assessment tool for the affective domain
One of the most essential domains to be assessed is the affective aspect of a learner. However, it is one that is difficult to properly assess. As future teachers, one of the skills that we are required to master is how to write a lesson plan which should have an objective for the affective domain. In order to know if the lesson objective is met, there must be an assessment, wherein the said assessment focuses on assessing students' attitudes towards learning. In this learning activity, we were instructed to write three objectives for the affective domain and craft assessment activities aligned to each objective. For this artifact, first we identified a topic from the DepEd K-12 English Curriculum which served as the basis of the objectives. Second, we wrote the objectives and tailored them to achi eve clarity that they are under the affective domain. Lastly, we brainstormed for feasible and effective activities aligned to our objectives. The only hurdle that we faced is detailing how to facilitate the learning experience inside the classroom to achieve the objective. Most of the time in crafting a lesson plan, I tend to focus more on the cognitive domain and overlook the value of assessing the affective aspect of the learner. From  this activity, I learned to appreciate the significance of tapping into the child’s emotions and how to assess their response to learning aside their scores. Learning how to properly assess and create assessment for the affective domain equipped me to improve my skills in lesson planning and develop an immense appreciation for teachers. Truly, teachers can do both: teach minds, and touch hearts. 
Analysis of DepEd Order No. 8 s2015
DepEd Order No.8 s2015 is the outline of guidelines on classroom assessment in the K-12 Basic Education. The order encompasses the steps, guides, and indicators for assessing learner’s cognition, performance, and learning competencies. Unless the curriculum will be changed, DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 will be our aid to fulfill the responsibilities assigned on our end as teachers. This artifact is a way to facilitate a group discussion about DO#8 s2015. It allowed us to assess its inclusions and critically examine whether these policies are justifiable or must be amended.   The document on DO#8 s2015 was given as a reading assignment and we were tasked to create a presentation about what we have read. The presentation must contain the salient points and highlights of the DepEd Order, the pros and cons  of the assessment guidelines, and our group’s suggestion and recommendations for improvements. After discussing with the group, we divided the task of gathering needed information for each section and encouraged everyone to add insights if they wish to do so. As a student, I realized how much of a fraud my grades were in high school. In hindsight, it allowed me to pinpoint one factor why the education system is failing miserably when it comes to some areas like reading and comprehension. One reason might be the grading system is encouraging our learners to be complacent in exerting minimum efforts in their studies. As a future teacher, if this system of giving grades will not change, it is up to me to double my efforts to ensure that my students are truly learning something and not just gaining grades. 
Resolutions on Parent Teacher Conference Simulations
Parents are encouraged to have an active participation in their child’s learning. Their involvement requires teachers to inform the parents of the progress of their child through report cards or through conversations. Part of our duty as teachers is to update parents about their children's academic status through holding PTA meetings. This artifact is created to prepare us how to act accordingly when facing the parents and how to manage unforeseen circumstances that may cause conflicts.  In this artifact, we were assigned a scenario to act out. The goal is to show how a teacher must handle a sensitive topic and act as a bridge to reconcile both parties. With our skit, we made it a point to highlight where teachers can observe the behavior of their students and inquire to them about this observation before going directly to the parent. We also aimed to emphasize that a teacher is not someone to meddle in one's parenting style, but they can be someone to help their student address issues that may hinder the learner to perform well in school. The whole skit centered on showing how a teacher must approach an aggravating situation with a cool and rational demeanor. Facing parents, especially those with a strong personality, is quite daunting. Indeed, it is important that as a teacher, you are composed and you have to stand your ground, and not cower over intimidation. PTA meetings are inevitable, but learning about these possible scenarios to occur in real-life is quite frightening to think about. I am thankful to experience this simulation activity which somewhat prepared me on what's in-store for me in the teaching field. Compose a comprehensive summary of your learning experiences throughout the course. This should cover: Key takeaways and how they have impacted your understanding of educational practices. Specific skills and knowledge gained. Personal growth and any changes in your teaching philosophy.This course taught me valuable lessons that increased my enthusiasm to continue pursuing the path to become an educator. The lessons about authentic assessments and assessments for affective domains are great additions to my skills to create quality learning experiences for my future students. These lessons are also beneficial as guides on assessing and building my students behavior, attitudes, and character. This course showed me that a learner must not be defined by the score he/she gets from quizzes or standardized tests. It is what we plant in them that should define them as a person.  A striking discussion in this course is about the details of DepEd Order No 8 s. 2015. Through this discussion, I learned why the education system is failing miserably. A policy is created as a solution to society’s issues and problems, however, there are aspects in the documents that seem to disregard the value of discipline and hardwork. The highlights of it is finding out how unfair the grading system is and the fact that there is actually 20 days of leeway for excusable absences. This part of the course opened my eyes to reality and encouraged me to someday make a difference starting in the four corners of a classroom.  This course also showed me the harsh realities in the field of teaching, and it fueled my desire to heed what I am called to do. Being a teacher is a mission– a service rendered to the society to mold the future generations. Teachers are paid less. Teachers seemed to do an easy job. But it's not easy to raise a child, is it?

This artifact exposed me to how an assessment is being made that focuses on the student’s affective domain. It consists of the learning objectives, title, mechanics, etc. The experience I gained in creating this added to my knowledge and my growth as a future teacher. 
Analysis of DepEd Order No. 8 s2015
This project strengthened my analytical skills, especially in assessing the DepEd Order. As a soon-to-be educator, this is a training for me to be exposed to the importance of laws in my profession. The awareness of regulations should remain for me to be effective in my craft.Resolutions on Parent Teacher Conference Simulations
The activity honed my social skills in interacting with my group members. From the planning of discussions to our presentation, collaboration was seen throughout. This was an opportunity for us to showcase our critical thinking skills in dealing with the situation given.

Reflection on DepEd Order No. 8 s2015
The guidelines outlined in DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 highlight the crucial role of classroom assessment in the K to 12 Basic Education Program. By emphasizing the importance of tracking learners' progress, adjusting instruction, and informing stakeholders, the guidelines aim to enhance the overall learning experience. The comprehensive coverage of formative and summative assessment, grading systems, and progress reporting is commendable as it provides a structured framework for educators.The guidelines promote a balanced approach to assessment by incorporating both formative and summative methods, ensuring a more holistic evaluation of learners' progress. The extensive nature of the guidelines may pose challenges for teachers in terms of implementation, especially without adequate training and support.Provide ongoing training and support for teachers to effectively implement the guidelines and encourage the use of alternative assessment methods.Consider diversifying assessment approaches beyond numerical grading to capture the full range of learners' skills and competencies.Regularly review and update the guidelines to reflect best practices in assessment and address any implementation issues identified by educators and stakeholders.Overall, while DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 lays a solid foundation for classroom assessment in the K to 12 Basic Education Program, there is room for improvement to ensure a more inclusive, effective, and student-centered approach to assessment.
Simulation reflection
In my observations during the simulation is to remind us the importance of effective communication, collaboration, and understanding between parents and teachers in the context of a parent-teacher meeting. It showcases various scenarios that can occur during such meetings and how they can be handled with professionalism and empathy.The significance of open dialogue between parents and teachers. It is essential for both parties to express their concerns, ask questions, and share feedback in a respectful manner. This allows for a constructive discussion that can lead to solutions and improvements for the benefit of the child.Another important lesson is the need for patience and understanding when addressing issues or concerns. We see how the teacher remains calm and composed even in the face of aggressive behavior from a parent. By maintaining professionalism and focusing on finding solutions, the teacher demonstrates the importance of handling challenging situations with grace and empathy.Overall, it  emphasizes the importance of building a positive and collaborative relationship between parents and teachers. By working together, sharing information, and supporting each other, they can create a supportive environment that nurtures the child's growth and development. Effective communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to the child's well-being are key elements in fostering a successful partnership between parents and teachers.

Rubric
is the most important for us teachers because it can help us to have a fair scoring system. According to Sir Mark rubric has a criteria that align with the learning objectives together with the outcomes of the assessment. Based on our prof to establish a rubric there are levels in determining the performance level of a student. In our rubric that we made we use such us, Excellent, Proficient, Satisfactory and Good as the bases of our scoring. In this activity we knew how to make a proper rubric and give a score that is appropriate for our future students. Making this activity has also challenges such as balancing a criteria and clarity and consistency of the rubric. First challenge for me was in balancing the criteria because we need to have a criteria that is attainable and doable for the students. Next challenging for me was the clarity and consistency of the criteria because as I have said we need to have a clear criteria to make this more attainable. In making a criteria the rubric needs to be consistent in balancing the scoring or the percentage of each. But those challenges were overcome by seeking feedback from Sir Mark. He always gives feedback to make our rubric more accurate. DepEd Order For me the activity about the analysis of the DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 helps us to have a better understanding about the guidelines of the DepEd. By analyzing it and by changing some of it helps us to be more aware of how this DepEd order works and by that we know how to develop a curriculum. Sir Mark taught us what is the process to develop this DepEd order by reviewing it properly and understanding each. By doing this activity it helps us to be accurate in making and revising it. Resolutions on Parent Teacher Conference Simulations Making this activity a role playing help us to better understand the real world in the school environment. As a future educator it has a huge impact for me because as I’ve written the script it made me realize that if this thing or situation will happen to me I don’t know how to handle it properly. We are so lucky that Sir Mark gave this activity to us to have an overview on how to handle this kind of situation. As a future educator we need to have a long patience with the parents so that we can have a good conversation and to avoid conflict. By doing a role playing it can enhance our communication skills as an educator we need that to be better communicators.

As part of BEEN 2 - A and our adviser for this semester is Sir Mark. He taught us everything from authentic assessments to how to manage parents to a conference. He also taught us to make a scoring rubric. He said that a scoring rubric must be measurable and accurate. In that lesson and as a future educator it is very essential because as a future English teacher mostly we’re going to have a role to play in the classroom. The recent activity that sir Mark gave us was about handling a problem within parent and teacher, in that activity it helps us to manage the parent if any situation arise and happens. All of the activities that sir Mark give us was very important when the time for us to come to be a educator someday, it will help us to make our own assessment and handle things as a Lasallian educator and that we are so very thankful for our advisor to 107 subject in helping us to improve and give us knowledge about assessments

Assessment tool for the affective domain.
The Assessment Tool for the Affective Domain was created to concentrate on the social and emotional aspects that influence student development, to close a significant gap in the evaluation of education. Traditional evaluation methods tend to prioritize cognitive abilities while undervaluing the significance of students' attitudes, values, motives, and emotions, all of which are important to their overall growth. To guarantee that education covers the whole range of student development, this tool aims to carefully evaluate these psychological aspects. The artifact expanded as we analyzed the Dep-ed Order in more detail and learned more about its principles.  After analyzing the Dep-Ed Order, we discovered that, as future educators, we should always evaluate students properly and consider their performances. It is our responsibility as an aspiring educator to support their advancement in the areas that are important to their development.
Analysis of DepEd Order No. 8 s2015.
The purpose of the Analysis of DepEd Order No. 8 s2015 is to clearly understand and apply the policy guidelines on classroom assessment for the K–12 Basic Education Program, as required by the Philippine Department of Education. This analysis was primarily conducted to make sure that, as a teacher, we could be able to easily integrate these recommendations into our lesson plans and, in doing so, align our evaluation techniques with the requirements of the national level.Being aware of the policy's focus on a range of evaluation techniques has motivated me to use a few assessment techniques in my instruction as a future educator for students’ engagement and achievement are increased and diverse learning styles and needs are met.
Resolutions on Parent Teacher Conference Simulations.
It was created to provide us, as aspiring teachers, an understanding of what goes on in classrooms and the difficulties teachers may encounter from parents, pupils, or the school itself. It provides us with an overview of the scenarios that are current and occur in a teacher's day-to-day work. It provides us with expertise in handling similar concerns or problems that arise in the classroom. It greatly enhanced my ability to communicate and resolve conflicts, which has helped me grow professionally and improve my capacity to create a cooperative and encouraging learning environment.

Taking this course has greatly improved my understanding of the school system and given me the skills and knowledge I need to use many kinds of teaching methods. Through this course, I was able to observe situations in the educational system that strengthened my belief in the effectiveness of teaching. As pre-service teachers, I also feel that we have the potential to effect change and give our students a more fulfilling education.

Assessment Tool for Affective Domain
Reflecting on the experience of creating this activity, it was both enlightening and challenging. Crafting activities that target the affective domain required a thoughtful consideration of how to engage students on a deeper emotional and personal level. This artifact was created to engage students in active learning experiences related to the affective domain objectives in English, specifically focusing on understanding and empathizing with characters and situations in stories. Overall, the experience highlighted the importance of designing varied and engaging activities to address affective learning objectives. It emphasized the need to create a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students feel comfortable sharing their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Through this process, I gained a deeper appreciation for the role of affective learning in shaping students' attitudes, values, and behaviors towards learning.
DepEd Order No.8 s2015
The DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015 serves as a guidebook in the Philippine educational system, outlining the guidelines for the implementation of the K to 12 program. Its primary purpose is to provide a comprehensive framework for the restructuring of the country's basic education curriculum, aiming to enhance the quality of education. The artifact addresses various learning objectives, including the development of critical thinking skills, communication proficiency, and holistic learner competencies. By integrating additional years into the basic education cycle, the order seeks to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to thrive in the rapidly evolving global landscape. Digging into this artifact taught me a ton about how education policy works in the real world. It's not just about coming up with ideas; it's about dealing with the messy classroom and how to handle situations in which the parents are involved. Analyzing DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015 helped me see the importance of staying flexible, and understanding the impact of policy decisions on actual learning experiences. Overall, it was a learning journey that definitely helped me grow in my professional role.
Simulation
This simulated Parent-Teacher Conference scenario, aimed at refining my communication skills and conflict resolution strategies within an educational context. The objective was to enhance our proficiency in engaging with parents effectively, establishing realistic student goals, and adeptly managing challenging situations. This activity involves sharing ideas of the best practices for parent-teacher interactions, and active participation in simulated dialogues. It was a bit tough, especially trying to talk about stuff that might upset parents, but I figured it out as I went along.The lesson I learned from all this is that it's very important to admit when you mess up. Imagine finding out you made a mistake with a student's grades, and they missed out on getting a special award because of it. But if we are honest about our mistakes and try to fix them, it helps parents trust us more and keeps things fair for everyone. So, this activity helped me understand better how to talk to parents and solve problems in a smart way.
Summary
Throughout the course, I learned various aspects of educational practices, from designing affective domain activities to analyzing educational policies like DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015 and honing communication skills through simulated Parent-Teacher Conferences. I realized the significance of addressing affective learning objectives in addition to cognitive ones. Crafting activities to engage students on an emotional and personal level underscored the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment where students feel comfortable expressing their thoughts and emotions. Analyzing educational policies such as DepEd Order No. 8 s. 2015 provided insights into the real-world implications of educational reforms. Understanding the complexities of policy implementation and its impact on classroom dynamics emphasized the need for flexibility and adaptability in navigating educational challenges. It underscored the importance of staying informed about policy decisions and on teaching practices, fostering a more refined perspective on educational advocacy and reform. Engaging in simulated Parent-Teacher Conferences sharpened my communication skills and conflict resolution strategies within an educational context. The experience taught me the importance of honesty, and accountability in addressing mistakes and resolving conflicts effectively. Learning to navigate sensitive conversations with parents while upholding transparency and fairness contributed to my growth as an educator, instilling a deeper sense of responsibility and ethical practice in my teaching philosophy. Overall, these learning experiences have equipped me with a diverse set of skills and knowledge essential for fostering a positive learning environment. As I continue to evolve in my professional role, I am committed to embracing a student-centered approach, fostering inclusivity, and promoting lifelong learning among my students.

Nicole Paclibar
Sir Mark give us a first task, which is to create an objectives for the affective domain and the mechanics or instructions for this. The affective domain focuses on the emotional and social aspects of learning, including values, attitudes, and beliefs. I can say that it is essential in determining how motivated, involved, and behaved students are in learning environments. The objective of the affective domain is to foster in students positive attitudes, values, and interpersonal skills. The learning objectives apply to the development of empathy, self-awareness, and ethical decision-making in both academic and social settings. Developing inclusive learning environments, addressing the needs of diverse students, and determining how affective learning affects a student's overall development are some challenges that may arise. Educators can better foster a positive learning environment, encourage social-emotional learning, and support students' holistic development by interacting with the affective domain. It develops cultural competency, empathy, and moral decision-making in the context of teaching, all of which advance professional development.
On our second task, Sir Mark told us to read this DepEd Order for us to really understand it. He made us identified the strengths, weaknesses, salient points, and our recommendations in this DepEd Order. This DepEd Order is an important document that provides policy recommendations on classroom evaluation for the K–12 Basic Education Program in the Philippines. The purpose of this is to provide standards for fair and equal assessments in classrooms. It aims to meet learning objectives of promoting competence, honesty, and ethical behavior in educators when confronted with challenging circumstances. It was created by researching assessment and consulting with stakeholders and education professionals. We, our group challenge in terms of reading a lot and I can say that it is quite difficult to really understand its content and its aim, because as Sir Mark said that, as a student we have also many suggestions for this DepEd Order and what would we like to improve or give some recommendation for this.  In short, for us this DepEd Order is not perfect. The process of creating this artifact provides insight into the value of moral behavior in the classroom and the necessity for educators to maintain rigorous standards. I can say that as a student, this DepEd Order provides me a learnings at the same time a guide as future teacher because I really gained so much learnings that I am not familiar with.
For us last task, Sir Mark we do our role playing. Our task is about the students grade that wants to consult on a adviser because she got a low grade and a parent provides her a money wherein the teacher refuses it. Through role-playing scenarios, it can give teachers real-world experience handling challenging circumstances and developing their problem-solving techniques. These role playing exercise, it emphasize professionalism, honesty, and ethical decision-making. It designed to improve teachers capacity to manage difficult situations with professionalism, morality, and ethics. They cover learning objectives on upholding professional boundaries in educational environments, resolving conflicts, and making ethical decisions. We are challenge of what kind of role playing we want to present since we have a lot of ideas and we want what’s best for our role playing. I can say that as a future educator someday, this kind of activity that Sir Mark wants us to present is a big help since this kind of problems or conflicts in classroom is very normal. By this task, I have gained a significant lesson on how to handle this kind pf situations and I can say that it can really promotes my professional growth as a future teacher someday.
Overall, these three tasks that Sir Mark gave us  have enriched my understanding and give me so much lesson that I can apply in my future career as an educator and have prepared me to become a more effective teacher someday. Lastly, it contributed to my personal growth by emphasizing the importance of professionalism in education.
