Reflection Questions:
1. Was the material able to meet the requirements?
The downloaded LR from the DepEd Commons was able to meet the requirements in the new
normal particularly in the Modular Distance Learning. The module was compromised of the
necessary competency derived from the MELCs, tasks are grounded from diagnostic, formative,
and summative assessments, theories and lectures are funnelled and only highlighted the
essential content.
2. Were there any questions in the assessment tool where you answered “No” or “Cannot Be
Determined”? What decision will you make on the LR material? Why?
As the Deped Commons is a sanctioned portal wherein evaluations are made prior in the
uploading of the LRs, teachers may feel at ease when it comes in content, technicalities and
legalities. Curriculum experts conducted rigorous scrutiny of the activities, lessons, assessment
tasks and authorship pf each module.
3. Are there other aspects of the material not covered by the tool but still need to be
assessed? Specify which aspect/s.
The component of the LR Rapid Assessment Tool was already directive in the need for assessing
a material for general use. If adding another aspect may be possible, in my point of view,
including the adaptability of the content into localize transformation can be also considered.
Because the downloaded materials from Deped portals are usually for general use across the
country, there exist the need for localization of texts and examples.
4. How does this exercise help you in picking the right and appropriate LRs for your lesson and your
learners?
The assessment tool was actually convenient and easy to use. The developer assumingly aimed
to provide direct and simple tool that can be applied by the teachers in selection of the LRs. We
are now updated on the necessary key points in evaluating the materials downloaded in both
Deped and non-Deped sites. Teachers must be keen observer and usage and selection of their
LRs and assessment tasks.
