A. Each of the following statements refers to either (a) measurement (b) assessment or (c)
evaluation. In each number identify corresponding to your answer.

B 1. Over-all goal is to provide information regarding the extent of attainment of student

learning.

C 2. Can help educators determine the success factors of academic programs or projects.

A 3. Uses such instruments as ruler, scale or thermometer.

A 4. Used to determine the distance of a location.

C 5. Process designed to aid educators make judgment and indicate solutions to academic
situations.

B 6. Can determine skill attainment easier than attainment of understanding.

B 7. Process of gathering evidence of student competencies/skills over a period of time.

B 8. Results show the more permanent learning and clear picture of student's ability.

C 9. Objects of study may be instructional programs, school projects, teachers, students or

test results.

A 10. Usually expresses in units.

B. Formative assessment is "when the cook tastes the soup while summative assessment is
when the guest tastes the soup". Do you agree? Why or why not?

I agree that "when the cook tastes the soup" is similar to formative assessment because,
as educators or aspiring educators, we must use a variety of approaches to help our students
understand in the most straightforward manner possible. If one method isn't working for a group
of students, we need to modify or find ways to make it work because formative assessment is
an ongoing process that all students and teachers use during learning and teaching to elicit and
use evidence of student learning in order to improve student understanding of intended
disciplinary learning outcomes and support students in becoming self-directed learners. For me,
the phrase "when the guest eats the soup" is the last assessment that an educator might use
when deciding whether or not to terminate the lesson or chapter for that particular topic. This
means there is no reason to go back, and this is the last assessment to determine what the
students have learnt because summative assessment is used to assess student learning at the
end of a unit of instruction by comparing it to a standard or benchmark.
 C. Differentiate each of the following pairs: examples may be cited to further clarify the meanin g

1. Assessment and Evaluation

Teachers gather information by giving tests and observing behavior, which is one of the
key assessment instruments in education. To ensure its reliability and validity while the
evaluation should be thoroughly planned and conducted. To put it another way, an
evaluation must produce consistent results and measure what it purports to measure
what is the judgement of the teacher to the students. The process of using the
measurements acquired in the evaluations is called evaluation. Teachers utilize this
data to assess the relationship between what the instructor intended and what was
learnt.
 Assessment Example: The students use a concept map in class to represent their
understanding of a topic.
 Evaluation Example: Teachers evaluate the data collected to determine what
students know and understand, how quickly they have advanced, and how their
score and progress compare to that of other students.

2. Formative evaluation and Summative evaluation

Formative evaluation is a method of judging the worth of a program while the

program activities are in progress. This type of evaluation focuses on the process.
The focus is on the result. Its major goal is to identify problems so that relevant
solutions can be implemented while in summative evaluation, is a method of
judging the worth of the program at the end of the program activities.
Questionnaires, survey forms, interview/observation guides, and tests are used to
collect data for summative evaluation.

Formative Evaluation Example:

The students submit two sentences identifying the main point of a lecture.

Summative Evaluation Example: The students submit their final reports.

3. Mental skill and Manual skill

We are using our brain to work or it is a tool for the mind when we have a mental
skill. Positive self-talk, boosting confidence, goal planning, and developing the
most productive mentality are examples of this cognitive domain of learning. In the
other hand manual skill allowing our hand to work is known as manual skill. It's
also the ability to improve or develop other abilities. Cognitive: mental skills
(Knowledge) - head. Affective: growth in feelings or emotional areas
(Attitude/beliefs) - heart. Psychomotor: manual or physical skills (Skills) - hands.

 Manual Skill Example: The students make a woodcarving.

 Mental Skill Example: The athletes train to enhance their performance on the
court. Winning is one of the objectives as an athlete and winning requires consistent
performance at a high level and give their personal motivation

4. Measurement and Evaluation

The process of determining or describing the features or characteristics of physical

objects in terms of quantity is known as measurement. We utilize a standard tool
to determine how long, distance, heavy, hot, volume, or straight anything is when
we measure it. A ruler, scale, thermometer, or pressure gauge are examples of
such instruments. The process of evaluation, on the other hand, is aimed to
provide knowledge that will guide us in making a decision regarding a certain
scenario. Instructional programs, school projects, teachers, students, and
educational goals are some of the things that might be evaluated.
 Measurement Example: A student use a tape measure to determine the distance
of the chair in each students.
 Evaluation Example: When a teacher reviews a paper in order to give it a grade.
