1: Interview
Interviewee: Genevieve Taday-Rayos

REFLECTION

The interview was a good experience because I have learned important things, not only in

assessment but also the reality that happens inside a classroom. My interview with teacher

Genny gave me reasons why I should continue to pursue my future career, which is being a

teacher.

Teacher Gen and I talked about her experiences in teaching and her ways of assessing young

learners. I asked several questions. I realized something from her words, and that is “lahat

ng bata ay may kakayahang matuto,” because every child has different skills and different

ways to learn. As a future educator, I fully understand that it is important to know the

background of your students to motivate them to learn, to provide their needs and also

meet your goals.

REFLECTION

There can be other ways of assessing students. One of which is giving performance task on

students. By means of that; I realized that here, students could apply their knowledge in real

life situation. They are given the chance to use their skills by performing it. Also, students

are graded through what they have shown in class.

But before that, I have learned that it is important to give rubrics for students. It is to ensure

the quality of their performance. It is also used to grade them according to what they have

contribute in the output.

Now that we are in the 21st Century, it is important for the students to apply the things that

they have learned, instead of just absorbing it. I think, performance based assessment is

what we need in enhancing the skills of the Filipino students.

Artifact No. 3: Card

REFLECTION

Computing grades is not that easy. For the teachers, you should be patient in computing the

grades of your students because its result will be the reflection of the students’

performance. Also, it is quite challenging because you should ensure that the grades are

exact and reliable.

Of course, I already know the feeling of being tired and hopeful while computing the grades

but when it was already done, I felt happy and fulfilled. I understand that being a teacher is

not easy, it requires patience and passion. Patiently computing the grades and passionately

meeting your goals.

Artifact No. 4: Observation Report

REFLECTION

I understand that teaching-learning activities became more meaningful and more relevant,

if all students are active in class, if all are participating and cooperating among their

classmates, if teacher makes her teaching more exciting by having it in meaningful activities.

The best approach to use in teaching is the student-centered. In this, each student is given

the opportunity to be part of the class. Teaching became more relevant if the teacher

teaches in all domains -- which are the cognitive, affective and psychomotor. But the most

important and significant domain in the teaching process of the teacher is that valuing

students’ character and attitude in dealing with their classmates and as well as the teacher.

Artifact No. 5: Checklist

REFLECTION

We all know how important the checklist is, especially to the teacher and students. Checklist

is a tool to improve the students’ performance. It is beneficial for the students in a way of

identifying what aspects they need to improve to have a better performance in class. For

the teacher, they could easily identify the needs of the students by just looking at the

students’ checklist. In other words, the checklist provides information about the students to

the teacher, but the teacher must provide a consistent and reliable reflection about the

students’ information.

Artifact No. 6: Reaction Paper

REFLECTION

In the reaction paper, I have chosen the article about the “Homework could have an Impact

on Kids Health”. In this, the issue about homework loads to children is tackled. The writer

stated some effects of homework loads to children, such as the breakdown of their physical

health; instead he said that homework loads has no direct effect towards the academic

performance of the children.

The article reminds us that before giving homework to children, we must consider their age,

abilities and environment. This is to ensure the stability of the health of children and they

were able to successfully do their homework.

I realized that the writer was right in saying that homework loads has no effect in academic

performance of the children, instead it will bring them to sleep disruptions and poor health.

There can be many ways in assessing young learners. In lined with the 21 st century, instead

of giving homework, we can consider the performance-based as an alternative way of

assessment. This will surely motivate young learners to learn, explore and discover.

Artifact No. 7: Position Paper

REFLECTION

In lined with the 21st Century, media has become a trend in education but also, media

literacy has been a big issue in Early Childhood Education. Some experts say that the

utilization of media in education has positive and negative in child’s development as a

learner.

When doing the position paper, I was challenged to make my own perspective about the

issue about media literacy on Early Childhood Education. Media, today, is the fastest way of

sharing information. I have made up to the decision of agreeing that media literacy is

important in Early Childhood Education knowing that we are now in the 21st Century where

everyone is using gadgets in getting and sharing information.

But we have to consider the negative effects of media, most especially the spreading of fake

news. So, teachers should provide children the reliable sources to prevent unreliable

information.
