Summary/ Comments: In a product oriented assessment, students construct a substantial, tangible product that reveals their understanding of certain concepts and skills and/or their ability to apply, analyze, synthesize or evaluate those concepts and skills which in this case, constructing a 3 dimensional figure out of a two dimensional one. It is similar to a constructed-response item in that students are required to construct new knowledge and not just select a response. However, product assessments typically are more substantial in depth and length, more broadly conceived, and allow more time between the presentation of the lesson and the student response than constructed-response items. 23

ANALYSIS Do you think your originally designed product-oriented performance assessment can appropriately assess the teacher’s learning objective? Why? / Why not?  Yes, because my product-oriented performance assessment design focuses on the product or the outcome of the activity which is to build a 3-Dimensional figure from a 2- Dimensional one. In line with the teacher’s objectives, the students are expected to create a 3-Dimensional figure to enable them correctly determine its Volume, Perimeter and Area and be able to see the object in all perspectives, whether it may be top, rear, front or bottom views. Why do teachers need to give attention to the students’ product-oriented tasks? Why do they need to assess them?  Because the product of the activity is the reflection of the students understanding to the lesson, and one way to gauge that understanding is through the product-oriented assessment, where the teacher measures the output of the students based on the preset criterions. In learning by doing, the students will construct their own knowledge by engaging themselves in the activities that will eventually lead them to learning. And for the teacher, to know how well the students absorbed the knowledge he/she has imparted to the students, the teacher will assess the product (of their understanding i.e. construction of 2Dimensional isosceles triangle to 3Dimensional Prism) and grade it based on the rubric he/she has set. In what conditions can the product-oriented performance assessment be used more appropriately?  When the product of the activity is more important than the performance of the student in the process of learning. Like in this case, the construction of a 2 Dimensional isosceles triangles into a 3 Dimensional one and computing its Volume, Perimeter, and Area. In this activity, the product of the activity bears more importance than the student’s performance, because no matter how passionate the student is in constructing the project, if the students 3D output is short or more by 1mm, the entire computation will become an error, rendering the entire effort useless. 33

REFLECTIONS My experiences in the conduct of this field study have tremendously improved my understanding to the different forms of performance assessment that as a teacher would improve my capacity of gauging the performances of my students. During the demonstration, I have observed that, the students product are different from the other, while the required specifications are just the same, some of the students produced quality products and were able to come up with the correct computations, while some did their activity just for compliance resulting to erroneous computations, and others who seem to be very serious and passionate with their tasks still end up with an incorrect figure and doing wrong computations. This observation has made me think that sometimes performance-oriented assessment cannot be used in assessing student’s performance and this is where the product-oriented assessment oriented assessment comes in. I have likewise learned to appreciate more the product-oriented assessment just like the performance-oriented one because the product-oriented tasks represents the learners understanding of the different concepts, theories and principles that are being taught to them. With it, the teacher can clearly see the evidence of the knowledge and skills that are learned in the entire instructional process by the students and help them account for their learning by seeing the outcomes and the product of their academic engagement which will motivate the students to continue and sustain in the learning process. One of the most important lesson I have learned in this activity is that, it is imperative for a teacher to recognize that the classroom consists of diverse individuals that must be assessed in a neutral way and by understanding the different alternative assessments, it equips me with the different assessment strategies that can eliminate the different biases that may arise in the classroom because of the diversity of my students. 34

THOUGHTS ON EQUITY ASSESSMENT To become fair in assessing the student’s performances, teachers have to develop ways to mitigate biases in the application of the different assessment strategies to ensure fairness in assessing and interpreting the student’s performance. The teacher should always be aware that diverse students present the risks of constructing biases in examinations, activities and even in grading. By recognizing the different biases that may arise in the course of the activity or learning process, it will be only then, that a teacher will be able to use assessment models that eliminate inequity in the class. Alternative assessments such as performance-oriented and product-oriented assessments can help ensure fairness whether it may be ethnic, economic or gender in assessing the students understanding of the lectures. However, I believe that ensuring fairness or equity does not rely fully on the reforms in the quality of assessment, the development of an unbiased curriculum and instruction as well as improved pedagogical practices must work together so that teacher could clearly present an accurate overall picture of the student’s performances and achievement in the classroom. 35

SUMMARY At the start of the semester, I was wondering what knowledge I would gain and how important it would be for my future career as a teacher, I was also wondering what critical thinking and paradigm shift really is, though I have heard it from other instructors frequently I seemed not to fully understand the true essence of what is really the paradigm shift in education. At the end of the semester, I have now fully understood everything about it, especially because my Facilitating Learning and Assessment subjects were offered in same semester. My experiences in the conduct of the field studies in this course have tremendously improved my understanding to the different forms of performance assessment and rubrics that as a teacher would improve my capacity of gauging the performances of my students. During the demonstration, I have observed that, the students product are different from the other, while the required specifications are just the same, some of the students produced quality products and were able to come up with the correct computations, while some did their activity just for compliance resulting to erroneous computations, and others who seem to be very serious and passionate with their tasks still end up with an incorrect figure and doing wrong computations. This observation has made me think that sometimes performance-oriented assessment cannot be used in assessing student’s performance and this is where the product- oriented assessment oriented assessment comes in. I have likewise learned to appreciate more the product-oriented assessment just like the performance-oriented one because the product-oriented tasks represents the learners understanding of the different concepts, theories and principles that are being taught to them. With it, the teacher can clearly see the evidence of the knowledge and skills that are learned in the entire instructional process by the students and help them account for their learning by seeing the outcomes and the product of their academic engagement which will motivate the students to continue and sustain in the learning process. Finally, one of the most important lesson I have learned in this activity is that, it is imperative for a teacher to recognize that the classroom consists of diverse individuals that must be assessed in a neutral way and by understanding the different alternative assessments combined with the right rubric, it equips me with the different assessment strategies that can eliminate the different biases that may arise in the classroom because of the diversity of my students. 36
