Now, you will construct an affective assessment tool for a course or a subject you will most likely handle
when you are already a teacher.
To provide you a sound basis to define and decide on what affective assessment tool will be most
appropriate and useful to you, you need to do the following:
1. Look for the document on the Basic Education K to 12 Curriculum Framework in science as future teacher.
2. List the affective traits that are articulated in the curriculum framework.
3. Among the list of affective traits, decide which is the most important trait you want your future students to emulate. Make sure the answer to this question "why do you value it most to be measured?" is very clear for you to appreciate this performance task.
Review the taxonomy of affective domains as you develop the items in the assessment tool. You can choose any of the assessment tool discussed earlier in the module.
5. Consider the affective traits are not easily learned and developed, your assessment tool is intended at the end of the year, or midyear at the earliest
Affective Trait
Type of Assessment Tool:
My Assessment Tool
1. Affective traits in the K to 12 Curriculum Framework in Science:
- Appreciation for Science and Technology
- Discipline
- Cooperation
- Empathy
- Integrity
- Respect for Diversity
2. The most important trait I want my future students to emulate is Integrity. I value this trait the most to be measured because it encompasses honesty, ethical behavior, and the ability to do the right thing even when no one is watching. Integrity is a fundamental value that is essential for success not only in academics but in all aspects of life.
3. Taxonomy of Affective Domains:
- Receiving: Willingness to listen and respond to others' ideas
- Responding: Active participation in class discussions and activities
- Valuing: Recognizing the importance of integrity and ethical behavior
- Organization: Demonstrating consistency and reliability in academic work
- Characterization: Behaving with integrity in all situations
4. Type of Assessment Tool: Self-reflection Journal
Assessment Tool:
- Students will be asked to maintain a self-reflection journal throughout the school year.
- Students will be given prompts related to integrity, such as describing a time when they faced a difficult decision and how they demonstrated integrity in that situation.
- Students will reflect on their own actions and behaviors, identifying areas where they can improve their integrity and ethical behavior.
- At the end of the year, students will submit their self-reflection journals for evaluation. Their ability to demonstrate integrity and ethical behavior will be assessed based on their reflections and insights throughout the year.
