In this particular topic I learned about the Three Feasible Methods of Assessing Affective Traits and Disposition ( Mc Millan, 2007), Three Considerations in Assessing Affect and The Different Methods.

In assessing affective traits, we can use Teacher Observation, Student Self-Report and Peer Ratings. Based on the material Teacher observation is one of the essential tools for formative assessment. However, the emphasis is on how to use this method so that teachers can make more systematic observations to record student behavior. for educators the use of teacher observation include activity such as watching and assessing the students as they engage and participate in teaching and learning process. this is far different from the traditional assessment which commonly observe after the lesson, such as quizzes and exams. Here teacher observation provides immediate feedback that enable teacher to enhance and adjust their teaching strategies to provide a relevant support to the needs of the students. Teacher not just assess the students in observation but also their professional skills as a teacher.

Another method is Students self-report, in this method a student's provide information about their own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or experiences. This involve methods like survey, questionnaires, interview and the use of reflevctive botes is also one way also to use in assessing self. The students here are free to express their thoughts, attitudes, and experiences in their learning progress. And lastly, Peer- Rating, this is a method where individuals within a group assess each other's performance or skills. It promotes collaboration and self-awareness by involving peers in the evaluation process. This approach can assess teamwork, communication, or specific task performance, offering a well-rounded perspective on individuals' abilities. based on the material there is two methods of conducting peer rating. the Guess who approach and socio-metric approach and these approaches can be used together with observations and self-reports to strengthen assessment of interpersonal and classroom environment.

Furthermore, in utilizing these methods there are factors that you should consider. 

(1) The type of affect to be assessed.

(2) If the information needed is from grouped or individual response.

(3) The use of information.

Here is the Discussion question being utilized during the day of discussion.

In assessing affective targets one of the problems that a teacher may encounter is themselves particularly their feelings. Teachers might find it hard to assess emotional goals because everyone's feelings and personal experiences can affect how they see things and value personal perspectives. This could make their evaluations less accurate and make it hard to judge how students are really feeling. To make sure assessments are fair and right, teachers need to think about their own feelings and biases and try to be as fair as possible when supporting students. Additionally, it is recommended also to check the students output at the same because the teacher's mood as well as their feelings may change the other day since our emotions/ feelings is naturally subjective. 

   Moreover, a teacher may also find difficulties in grading the output or performances of the students. To assess accurately sometimes it is good to consider other perspectives in regard to the performances here a teacher can ask thier colleagues, other students and the performers to rate this can provide a more well-rounded perspective on the individual's emotional state. This multi-perspective approach can help lessen the influence of personal biases and provide a more accurate assessment of the person's emotional well-being. Moreover, allowing students time to explain their output or performances is crucial, as teachers and students may perceive things differently or have varying interpretations of the performances. This facilitates better communication and enhances the assessment process.

     There are also External factors that may add to teachers' problem in assessing affect, this incudes factors such as the classroom setting, peer interactions, and family situations can influence students' emotions, complicating teachers' efforts to pinpoint and evaluate specific emotional aspects. If a teacher has a strong connection to the student there will be a possibility for the teacher to become bias and again as what I've mentioned in previous part of my answer if this is the case a teacher should and may ask another person to rate the student.
