day on the right foot.
A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW
1) Introduction (2 mins)
Classroom assessments are an integral part of learner’s learning. They do more than just measure
learning. They also inform the learners what needs to be learned and to what extent and how to
learn them. They also provide the parents some feedback about their children’s achievements of
the desired learning outcomes. The schools also benefit from classroom assessments because
learners’ test results can provide them evidence-based data that are useful for instructions;
planning and decision making. As such, it is important that assessment tasks or tests are
meaningful and further promote deep learning as well as fulfill the criteria and principles of test
construction.
There are many ways by which learners can demonstrate their knowledge and skills and show
evidence of their proficiencies at the end of a lesson, unit or subject. While authentic-performance
based assessments have been advocated as the better and more appropriate methods in
assessing learning outcomes, particularly as they assess higher-level thinking skills, traditional
written assessment methods such as multiple choice tests are also considered as appropriate and
efficient classroom assessment tools for some types of learning targets. This is especially true for
large classes and when test results are needed immediately for some educational reasons.
Traditional tests are also deemed reliable and exhibit excellent content and construct validity.
What tests should be used? How do you know they are appropriate?

Guidelines in choosing the appropriate test format
Ask the following important questions:
1. What are the objectives or desired learning outcomes of the lesson being assigned?
Deciding on what test format to use generally depends on your learning objectives or the
desired learning outcomes (DLOs) are statements of what learners are expected to do or
demonstrate as a result of engaging in the learning process.
2. What level of thinking is to be assessed (remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, or
creating?) Does the cognitive level of the test questions match your instructional objectives or
DLOs?
The level of thinking to be assessed is also an important factor to consider when designing
your test, as this will guide you in choosing the appropriate test format. For example, if you
intend to assess how much your learners are able to identify important topics discussed in
class (remembering/ understanding), a selected-response format such as multiple choice
will be appropriate. However, if you need to assess how your students will be able to
explain and apply in another setting a concept or framework learned in class
(applying/analyzing), you may consider giving constructed-response test formats such as
essays.
It is important when constructing classroom assessment tools, all levels of cognitive
behaviors are represented from Remembering (R) , Understanding (U), Applying (Ap),
