Week 5 NARRATIVE REPORTS
from Field Study 2
It's the 5th week of our class observation, just a normal day in school after the exam week. This week, they are going to introduce a new lesson. Ma'am Yngayo provided self-learning modules to each student as an overview of the lesson that will be discussed in the upcoming session. She gave instructions about the module and let the students answer the pretest with ample time to finish it. After they corrected it and consolidated the scores, as expected, no one got a perfect score. Ma'am Yngayo told them that it's suspicious if there is a perfect score because it's just a pretest done to measure the knowledge of the students on the topic that they are going to tackle.
This strategy is a tool that is administered to students before a unit or topic is taught to determine their baseline understanding of the subject matter. This strategy is very effective in measuring students' knowledge about a future topic because it provides teachers with an understanding of their students' prior knowledge and misconceptions related to the topic. The importance of a pretest strategy lies in its ability to inform teachers about how to best structure their lessons and differentiate their instruction based on the needs of their students. By knowing what their students already know, teachers can avoid redundancy and ensure that they are targeting the areas where students need the most support.
