Outcome-Based Assessment
All assessment and evaluation activities must be founded on the identified
student intended learning outcomes (ILO). These ILOs should be identified and
clarified with students so that it will be an effective teaching-learning process as the
teachers commence the learning activities through delivery of the lessons.
Student Learning Outcome. It is the totality of accumulated knowledge,
skills, and attitudes that students develop during a course of study. This serves as the
basis for assessing the extent of learning in an OBE. Outcome-based assessment must
be continuously done during the entire teaching-learning both by the teachers and
students to ensure that the activities are aligned with the expected outcomes set for
the students by the teacher. Providing feedback including the results of assessment is
important to identify the next steps toward the realization of the intended learning
outcome.
Sources of Student Expected Learning Outcomes. Outcomes or targets for
every lesson is expected to be defined and clarified by the teacher at the start of the
course/learning activities. Factors needed to be considered in crafting the student
expected learning outcomes:
1. Mission statement of the school
2. Mandated policies on competencies and standards issued by government
education agencies
3. Competencies expected by different professions, business and industry
4. Development plan and goals as well as the current thrusts of both the
national and local governments
5. Current global trends and developments so that graduates can compete
globally
6. General 21st century skills focusing on the following:
Oral and written communication

EXPLORE
A. Given the following school situation, how would you apply the 21st
Century Assessment Characteristics? Use the template provided.
SCENARIO
Before the school year starts, Mr. Cruz, the principal, called the teachers
to a meeting and discussed the plans for the coming school year. One of the
agenda of the meeting is the improvement of the tools and methods that the
teachers utilized to assess students’ learning. As per record, the school utilizes
traditional assessment practices. He challenged the teachers to present an
updated assessment instrument/tool that is aligned with the required skills of
the 21st century.
Note: For Step 1, you may use the assessment tools and instruments based on
your observation/field study. For Step 2, you need to do some extra work or
research about 21st century assessment.

Step 2.
After filling up the inventory of assessment instruments/tools used, analyze each and
classify accordingly as to which characteristics of 21 st century assessment are
exemplified by the assessment activities and the assessment tools/instruments
utilized. Use the template provided below.
The current assessment practices of the school is aligned with the 21st century
assessment fundamentals in terms of:

Case 1:
Based on the previous school year’s data, particularly the new enrollees, there
were students (since they have different backgrounds) who cannot cope well in the
general basic subjects particularly English and Mathematics. In preparation for the
coming school year, the administration mandated the Academic team to improve the
situation and plan a program that will help the students improve their skills in those
subjects.

Case 2:
The school received an invitation to join an international competition in the field
of Mathematics. In the invitation, the organizer asked for five representatives from the
school a week after the letter of invitation was received, since there will be an
orientation and coaching schedules. The VP for Academic Affairs endorsed the said
invitation to the Subject Area Coordinator (SAC). What should be the next step(s) to be
undertaken by the SAC?
