LEARNING EXPERIENCE 8
The Teacher as an Implementor or Purposeful Assessment

Learning Experience 8 is an experiential journey which enables you to see the application of the
concepts, principles, and processes you have acquired in Assessment of Learning courses in situ. It will allow
you to carry out a guided information gathering process related to assessment, get insights from the infor mation,
gathered, and internalized and self-direct your plans as a future teacher in the field of classroom assessment.
When you were taking Assessment of Learning, your learning resources were your textbooks and other
references. This time LE 8 introduces you to the most important learning resource particularly on the practice of
assessment in the classroom, your Cooperating Teachers. Through a face-to-face interview with them, you
should be able to obtain ideas on how assessment improves teaching and student learning. You can arrange for
group interview of the teachers your assigned school if individual interview is not feasible. This learning
experience can be carried out by both BEEd and BSEd students.

3. Based on your tables, which appear to be the most common testing practices of the teachers? Do
you see any difference between the practices in giving quizzes and in giving long tests?

Based on the interview that we conducted, there were several testing practices that is most common to the
teachers. The possible reason for this is that it is the most effective way to facilitate and assess the learning
progress of the learners. Based on the table, I don’t see any difference between the practices in giving quizzes
and long test because the teachers that we interviewed use the same testing practices and strategies when
they begin to assess the students through tests and quizzes.

8.3. IDENTIFICATION

Inferring rationale for testing practices of teachers

Below are some practices the teachers do after testing. Can you give a good reason for this practice?
Of what good are these practices to learners?

Practices after Testing Possible Reasons

 T announces the score of each one. It is for the students to know the results of the tests
and for them to reflect to the errors they made to see
if there’s a need for improvement.

 T returns the test papers to learners. It is wise to return test papers to students because
they worked hard for their results and also for the
students to determine where did he/she committed
mistakes so that he/she will reflect and learn from it.

 T discusses wrong responses of learners and So that the student will have an idea how and why
show how they can be corrected. his/her response wrong. Through this, students will be
given a correct idea about the topic of the lesson.

 T makes learners record their scores. This is for the students to be aware how are their
scores being computed and turn it into grades.

 T takes up the common errors of the class. The possible reason for this is because of not having
a concrete action plan especially if the class needs an
assistance from the teacher.
 T makes the learners correct their mistakes. The reason for this is so that the students can reflect
to their own mistakes and to see if there’s a need for
improvement.

8.4. INTERNALIZATION
Identifying the challenges of the school in providing more opportunities for development

What significant principle of assessment is being illustrated in these practices?

Practices after Testing Assessment Principle

 T announces the score of each one. Authenticity

8.5. DISSEMINATION

Committing to adopt useful testing practices to improve teaching and learning.

Given the testing practices you have learned from your interview of the teachers, write down which
practices you will adopt.

Growth Portfolio Entry No. 8A

As a teacher, we should be extra careful in performing testing practices to our students

knowing that every student has their specific strengths and weaknesses. As a teacher we must
identify what aspect in learning do a student learns best and as an educator we have to keep in
mind the practices that teachers do in tests and quizzes.
When I become a teacher, the testing practices that I’m going to adopt is when the teacher
discusses common errors in class. For me discussing errors in class is an effective way of
educating the students if it’s done in a polite way by the teacher. Through this, students will
digest the correct information effectively, especially if they are curious in knowing the correct
answer. In addition to that, this will make the students able to reflect to their mistakes and do
better in their learning experiences the next times. Second practice is when the teacher returns the
test papers to the students. It is very important to return the students’ test papers after checking
and recording them so that it will serve as their reviewer as they continue their journey in their
learning. Last but not the least, is when the teacher discusses wrong responses of learners and show
how they can be corrected. With this I think students will be guided in their learning as they were
told what is right and what is wrong. Students can also reflect from their errors and can use my
guidance as their strength and motivation as they do their very best to become a better individual
and the best versions of themselves.
