Field Study 5 Episode 7 8


My learning activities
1.     The teachers mostly used a scoring rubrics for the students activities such as role playing, interviews, reporting’s, dancing, singing drawing or other actual performances and they also use rubrics for students work like projects one example is a student portfolio about their life or a portfolio in English subject or maybe a planets made in styrofoam to be displayed on a science laboratory.
2.     Scoring rubrics is significant because it helps teacher to evaluate student’s works easier. It also forces the teacher to clarify criteria in detail. It has a useful feedback for the effectiveness of instruction. Motivates students to reach the standards specified. It is a flexible tool, having uses across many contexts, in many grade levels and for a wide range of abilities. Before without scoring rubrics teacher uses the Criteria more likely criteria for judging.
3.     Difficulties I found on scoring rubrics is that it can also restrict the students mind power in that they will feel that they need to complete the assignment strictly to the rubric instead of taking the initiative to explore their learning. If the criteria that is in the rubric is too complex, students may feel overwhelmed with the assignment, and little success may be imminent. For the teacher creating the rubric, they may find the task of developing, testing, evaluating, and updating time consuming.
4.     Yes, they differ in holistic scoring rubrics it gives students a single or overall assessment score for the paper as a whole. On the other hand analytic scoring provides students with at least a rating score for each criterion, though often the rubric for analytic scoring offers teachers enough room to provide some feedback on each criterion.
5.     It is much easier to use the holistic scoring rubric since you do not need to check each criteria for the student work because the thing is, holistic rubric is use to evaluate the whole work itself.
6.     Yes I got involved on making a both scoring rubrics but if I had to choose I would choose to make a holistic scoring rubric, it’s easier to make as what I had mention on number 5.

My Analysis
1.     Rubrics can enhance student learning and it makes easier for a teacher to inform the students how did they get they grades. When students are made aware of the rubrics prior to instruction, they know the level of performance that is expected and can become more motivated to learn and reach those standards. Rubrics can make the targets of instruction clear, especially for problem solving, group process skills, and writing.
2.     Portfolios are a kind of authentic assessment and because authentic assessments cannot be graded like traditional assessments, scoring rubrics is just one way to assess portfolios in order to increase the reliability of scores based on human judgment.
3.     In making and using score rubrics. First you must have objectives included in the rubrics for a specific activity. A rubric must be definitive, quantitative and objective in nature. The scoring rubric is a device that guides you to keep track the corresponding score or credits that you may give to a particular task.


My Reflections
Learners can use rubrics to assess their own effort and performance, and make adjustments to work before submitting it. When students participate in designing rubrics, they are empowered to become self-directed learners. Rubrics help teachers assess work based on consistent, agreed upon, and objective criteria.
Rubrics can be a powerful self-assessment tool, if teachers disconnect them from grades and give students time and support to revise their work. A key element of formative assessment is feedback. Under the right conditions, student self-assessment can provide accurate, useful information to promote learning.

My Analysis
1.     Yes the teachers like the new based 0%, grading system. This helps the students to enhance more of their knowledge and will let them focus and work harder on academics to reach not only the passing rate but the top/highest grades they could ever have.
2.     The new grading system in education is a system that is used to assess the educational performance of a child which is entirely based upon points alone. The purpose of grading is to describe how well students have achieved the learning objectives or goals established for a class or course of study. But still, this method is widely regarded in many of the schools across the world and is kept as a strong and a viable medium to adjudge a child’s grasping and reciprocating ability by grading them.
3.     Teachers are more challenged on motivating their students to strive harder on academics since it is based 0%. Letting the lazy students not to rely on the attendance itself, or seatwork’s but students are motivated to attend school and study harder in order to develop their knowledge, characters, and skills.
4.     Yes, It is evident that the highest weighted percentage allotment is for the Performance Tasks, which includes different outputs and projects. This is also the application of the knowledge portrayed on different room activities, outputs and projects and it is based more on interaction. As this new curriculum produces a lot of work and loads for the students. Written Work and Quarterly Assessment on the other hand, focuses more on the reflection of the gained knowledge.

6.     Yes I like having the experience of computing grades. I am a teacher and I must like it for my students. Most especially when get to see the improvement of their grades since the 1st quarter results. It would be the best part of my teaching profession.
My Reflections
Grading generally hinders learning. It may motivate students to succeed at school by passing tests and so on, but it's often harmful to true learning. Succeeding at school is not necessarily the same thing as learning the subjects taught at school.
The most successful learning strategy is trial-and-error. It's the strategy that's built into us: it's how we learn to walk and talk. It's how we learn to stack blocks on top of each other to build towers that don't fall. When blocks fall, we learn our last stacking strategy won't work in the future, so we try something else. In a deeply visceral way, we learn what works and what doesn't.
Meanwhile, in the core values of the students in the report card I believe it is okay, for the guardians or parents would know if their child is doing great or if there are any problems. Because our problem without the comment section on the report card this days, the parents are not able to know or to monitor their child properly in some way that they cannot go the school and ask the teachers why and due to some students would alibi when they were ask by their guardians. So I believed it’s okay to have the core values in the report card.

My learning activities
Activity 1
1.     Traditional grading and SBG also use different grading scales. In traditional grading, students are primarily measured by the percentage of work successfully completed. The assumption is that higher completion rates reflect greater mastery, and earn higher grades. In SBG, grading is based on demonstration of mastery.
2.     Grade 1-10

new  grading system for k to 12Grade 11 – 12
3.     Multiply the percentage assigned to each category by your average grade in that category. For example, if your average grade in quizzes is 86, multiply 86 by 15 percent (86 X 15 = 12.9). Add these results together (22.5+40+12.9+9.2 = 84.6). The sum is 84.6, or 85, which is a B.
4.     Legions of grade-conscious students and parents may be surprised when the first report cards under the new K+12 education program come out. Instead of numerical values, grades will be letters under a system that may not at first appear logical. According to DepEd Assistant Secretary Toni Umali, the new grading system this year will apply only to grades one and seven, the two grades most affected by K+12 policies. As expected, A is the highest. But B is the lowest. And the second highest is P. The letters actually represent levels of proficiency, abbreviated as follows:
A for Advanced (90 percent and above)
P for Proficient (85-89 percent)
AP for Approaching Proficiency (80-84 percent)
D for Developing (75-79 percent)
B for Beginning (74 percent and below)
5.     A student is promoted from one grade to the next on the basis of academic achievement or demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter of the course or grade level and attendance. To earn credit in a course, a junior high student must have an overall average of 70 or above, based on course-level or grade-level standards. Parents of students who do not perform satisfactorily on their exams will be notified that their child will participate in special instructional programs designed to improve performance. These students will also have two additional opportunities to take the test.

Activity 2
1.     I like it because it would help me to focus more on my academics. –Grade 3 student (army sachico sagusay)
I like it because my parents would be proud of me when I got a high grades. –Grade 5 student (yvan moriji sagusay)
2.     None, because schools would like us students to improved and to be a better person in the future for our country. – Grade 6 ( Mia Osh)
3.     Yes it does, because of having a based 0% grading system having the knowledge, character and skills to pass, I may also be a good example for the other students. My Parents would really be proud of me. –Grade 6 (Charlene Villaflor).
