1. Yes, the assessments match the learning activities to achieve the learning goals. Aligning activities and assessments helps us focus on the skills needed, saving time and effort. Providing a table at the start of the module also helps set clear objectives.

2. Yes, but since we're in a virtual setup, paper-and-pencil tests are done through apps like Google Forms for quizzes or essays in Word format. Teachers also use authentic assessments, like projects, to highlight performance tasks.

3. Yes, the assessments are valid, reliable, objective, clear, practical, and easy to administer and score.

4. Yes, formative assessments can also be used for summative purposes. They both help us learn, practice, and assess performance, offering valuable feedback and guidance.

5. Authentic assessments have many advantages over traditional tests. They better measure higher-order thinking skills and offer different ways to solve tasks or problems, depending on how we interpret them. These assessments work for any subject and are more realistic compared to standard tests.

6. Many of us prefer written assessments, like multiple-choice tests, because they’re less stressful, easier to prepare for, and simple to manage.

1. We need to make sure our assessments match the learning objectives and focus on the topics the teacher covers. This makes the process more meaningful and fair for everyone. We should also give students time to review and study after assessments so they have a better chance of getting higher grades. 

OBSERVE

1. Most students got high scores.

2. When dealing with a large group of students, the biggest challenge is finding efficient ways to assess them and give feedback that helps them learn better.

REFLECT
The assessment process worked well because the assessments matched the learning objectives. The teacher explained the topics clearly and included real-world examples.
The process didn’t go as smoothly because it’s hard to efficiently assess large groups and give helpful feedback to support their learning.

ACT
To make the assessment process more effective for learning, we will read research or watch videos about:

• Managing assessments in the classroom

• The importance of assessments in teaching and learning

• Strategies for using formative and self-assessments

PLAN
We will focus on understanding how formative and self-assessments affect students’ achievement, attitude toward lessons, and performance in science.
