ANALYZE
1. Are all the assessment task aligned to the learning outcome?
- Yes all the assessment tasks of my resources teacher are aligned on the
learning outcome objective they have.

2. What are possible consequences if teacher’s assessment tasks are not aligned
to learning outcome/s? Does this affect assessment result? How?
- The possible consequences if teachers assessment task are not aligned to
learning outcomes is it may not be possible to be achieved the class. The effect
of assessment results cannot be measure what the students learned from the
lesson because it was not aligned in the intended learning outcomes.

3. Why should assessment tasks be aligned to the learning outcomes?

- The assessment task should be aligned to the learning outcomes to attain the
objectives of the lesson , And also to have an organized lesson and it will
achieve only if the intended learning outcome are aligned in assessment
learning process.

REFLECT
 Reflect on past assessment you have been trough. Were they all aligned with what
your teacher taught with learning outcomes?
- As I reflect on the past assessments that I had been through, I remember all
assessment that is given to us is aligned in the learning outcomes of our
teacher.

 How dis this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you
learn from this past experience and from this observation?
- It did not affect my performance because I remember all the assessment that I
received was aligned on the intended learning outcomes of our teacher.
- I learned that it is important to applied the steps in making the lesson plan . If
we already know the steps on how to make the lesson plan then it will no
longer be difficult for us to make a good intended learning outcomes that
aligned to our assessment learning.

ANALYZE
1. Which cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions? lowest number?
- The cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions is remembering
because the type of those questions are the way to checked the teacher if his/her students
has recall their lessons that they discussed.
2. What do these (lowest and highest number of assessment questions) reveal about Resource
Teacher's level of questions?
- Based on the lowest and highest number of assessment questions that made by the
Resource teacher’s , it reveal the level of questions balance because it’s based on
remembering and analysing. Remembering where the students will recall only on what they
discussed on their past lesson and analysing because students required to use their higher
order thingking skills just to analyse the correct answer.
3. Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, which are the highest cognitive skills? Give
example of an assessment question for each of the two highest cognitive skills-
metacognitive skills and self-system thinking.
- Based on Kendall’s and Marzano’s taxonomy , the highest cognitive skills is
