Design and Implementation of Professional Development Program Based on Feedback Loop Model

Abstract

This study of designing a Professional Development Program (PDP) anchored on the Feedback Loop Model (FLM) program was implemented to improve Physics Senior High School (SHS) teachers' classroom practices towards formative assessment. With a concurrent triangulation design to address the problems and the ADDIE model's instructional design as a guide in explaining the development of the identified actionable point(s) acquired from the initial survey results of 23 SHS teachers through a convenience sampling method; the need to design and develop a PDP led to the development of the Feedback Loop Model: Professional Development Program on Formative Assessment (FLMPDP). This FLMPDP, which was anchored on the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELCs) curriculum and delivered into an Online Distance Learning (ODL) modality, has extended the elements (goal, tool, data, inference) of Feedback Loop to an online learning context. Based on the SHS teachers' feedback, they have gained a lot of insights, which showed extensive information to support the applicability of the process. Thus, the extension of the Feedback Loop into online learning context has a great potential to promote the online formative assessment, which could be used to improve teachers' classroom practices. The study suggests that more teachers be given opportunities for this FLMPDP to refine their strategies and enhance collaboration and professional growth.
