COURSE GUIDE
A. INTRODUCTION
This course is focused on the principles, development and utilization of basic assessment tools to improve teaching-learning process. In the process of
measuring knowledge, comprehension and other thinking skills along the cognitive, psychomotor an affective domains, this course distinguishes the uses of assessment “of”
learning, assessment “for” learning and assessment ‘as” learning. They will effectively blend measurement and evaluation in the discussion of OBE and learning outcomes-based
assessment in order to ensure validity and reliability of assessment done. This course will also emphasize the practical applications of assessment in constructing different
assessment tools. The students will appreciate the authentic application of assessment through experiential learning approach, explicit, reflective and research-based teaching and
learning process.
B. PROGRAM OUTCOMES

Development of paper-and-pencil test requires careful planning and expertise in terms of actual test construction. The more seasoned teachers can produce true-false items
that can test even higher order thinking skills and not just rote memory learning. Essays are easier to construct than the other types of objective test, but the difficulty in scoring
essay examinations teachers from using this particular form of examination in actual practice.
TRUE-FALSE TEST
Binomial-choice or alternate response tests are tests that have only two (2) options such as true or false, right or wrong, yes or no, good or better, check (4) or cross out (6)
and so on. A student who knows nothing of the content of the examination would have 50% chance of getting the correct answer by sheer guess work. Although correction-for-
guessing formulas exist, it is best that the teacher ensures that a true-false item is able to discriminate properly between those who know and those who are just guessing.
2. Avoid using the words “always”, “never”, “often” and other words that tend to be either always true or always true.
Example: “Christmas always falls on a Sunday because it is a Sabbath Day”.____
9
Statements that use the word “always” are almost always false. A test-wise student can easily guess his way through a test like these and get high scores even if he does not
know anything about the test.
3. Avoid trick statements with some minor misleading word or spelling anomaly, misplaced phrases, etc. A wise student who does not know the subject matter may detect this
strategy and thus get the answer correctly.
Example: “The Raven was written by Edgar Allan Poe”.
Allen is misspelled and the answer would be false. This is an example of a tricky but utterly useless item.
4. Avoid double negatives. This makes test item unclear and definitely will confuse the student.
Example: “The changes that take place in early childhood are NOT unchangeable.
The test item simply means “The changes in early childhood are changeable.
TASK 1. Give one non- example of each of the following rules of thumb in the construction of a true-false test. Improve on the non-example for it to become a good example of
test.
a. Avoid giving hints in the body of the question.
Non-example item: ______________________________________________________________________________________________
Improved item: _________________________________________________________________________________________________
b. Avoid using the words “always”, “never” and other such adverbs which tend to be always true or always false.
Non-example item: ______________________________________________________________________________________________
Improved item: _________________________________________________________________________________________________
10
1. Do not use unfamiliar words, terms and phrases. The ability of the item to discriminate or its level of difficulty should stem from the subject matter rather than from the wording
of the question.
Example: “What would be the system reliability of a computer system whose slave and peripherals are connected in parallel circuits and each one has a known time to
failure probability of 0.005?”
A student completely unfamiliar with the terms “slave” and ‘”peripherals” may not be able to answer correctly even if he knew the subject matter of reliability.
2. Do not use modifiers that are vague and whose meanings can differ from one person to the next such as: much, often, usually, etc.
Example:
Much of the process of photosynthesis takes place in the:
a. bark b, leaf c stem
The qualifier “much” is vague and could have been replaced by more specific qualifiers like: “90% of the photosynthetic process” or some similar phrase that would be
more precise. Be quantitative.
3. Do not use negatives or double negatives as such statements tend to be confusing. It is best to use simpler sentences rather than sentences that would require expertise in
grammatical construction.
Example:
(Poor): What does the statement “development patterns acquired during the formative years are not unchangeable” imply?
(Better): What does the statement “development patterns acquired during the formative years are changeable imply?
5. Avoid alternatives that are synonymous with others or those that include or overlap others.
Example:
What causes ice to transform from solid state to liquid state?
a. Change in temperature b. Change in pressure c. change in the chemical composition d. change in heat levels
The options “a” and “d” are essentially the same. Thus, a student who spots these identical choices would right away narrow down the field of choices to a, b, and c. The
last distracter would play no significant role in increasing the value of the item. If this happens, then the item has two answers, which is not acceptable.
2. Which group will most strongly focus its teaching on the interest of the child?
a. progressivist b. essentialist c. Perennials d. reconstructionist
7. Use the “none of the above” option only when the keyed answer is totally correct. When choice of the ‘best” response is intended, “none of the above” is not appropriate, since
the implication has already been made that the correct response may be partially inaccurate.
TASK 2. Give one non- example of each of the following rules of thumb in the construction of multiple choice test. Improve on the non-example for it to become a good example
of test.
1. Do not use unfamiliar words, terms and phrases
12
3. Avoid alternatives that are synonymous with others or those that include or overlap others.
ESSAYS
Essays classified as non-objective tests, allow for the assessment of higher order thinking skills. Such tests require students to organize their thoughts on a subject matter in
coherent sentences in order to inform an audience. In essay tests, students are required to write one or more paragraphs on a specific topic Essay questions can be used to measure
attainment of a variety of objectives.
1. Comparing 3. Justifying 5. Generalizing 7. Classifying 9. Analyzing 11. Creating
2. Relating cause-and-effect 4. Summarizing 6. Inferring 8. Applying 10. Evaluating
Types of Essays
Restricted Essay – it is also referred to as short focused response. Examples are asking students to ‘write an example”, ‘list three reasons” or ‘compare and contrast two
techniques
Example: Sample Short Response Question (10th Grade Reading)
“How are the scrub jay and the mockingbird different? Support your answer with details and information from the article”.
Non-restricted/Extended Essay – extended responses can be much longer and complex that short responses, but students are encouraged to remain focused and organized.
1. Phrase the direction in such a way that students are guided on the key concepts to be included. Specify how the students should respond.
Example:
13
Using details and information from the article (Hundred Islands), summarize the main points of the article. For a complete and correct response, consider
these points:
- its history (10 pts) - its interesting features (10 pts) - why it is a landmark (5 pts)
Non-example:
Using details and information form the article (hundred islands) summarize the main points of the article.
(Source: https:/fcit.usf.edu/assessment/constructed/construct.html)
2. Inform the students on the criteria to be used for grading their essays. This rule allows the students to focus on relevant and substantive materials rather than on
peripheral and unnecessary facts and bits of information.
Example: Write an essay on the topic: “Plant Photosynthesis” using the keywords indicated. You will graded according to the following criteria: a) coherence, b)
accuracy of statements, c) use of keywords, d) clarity and e) extra points for innovative presentation of ideas.
