MODULE I: 21st Century Assessment

Lesson 3: Outcomes – Based Assessment

Introduction

This module will guide you to set targets for your lessons through instructional learning activities
in order you to meet your desired learning outcomes.

Instruction

Read and understand the learning content/discussion to be able to answer the questions that
follow in the assessment. Cut the assessment and submit the required outputs on the next scheduled
delivery of module or pass it to the guard house of NIPSC Concepcion Campus.

Learning Outcome

1. Identified the students learning outcomes.

2. Applied the students learning outcomes in making a lesson plan.

Learning Content

1. Student Learning Outcome (SLO)

Student Learning Outcome is the totality of accumulated knowledge, skills, and attitude that
students develop during a course of study. And this serve as the basis for assessing the extent
of learning in an Outcomes – Based Education (OBE). Outcomes – 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 (to be done by the teacher and student) toward the realization of the intended learning
outcome.

2. Sources of Student Expected Learning Outcome

As aforementioned, outcomes or targets for every lesson is expected to be defined and clarified
by the teacher at the start of the course/learning activities. This is necessary so as both the
students and teachers will be guided as to what steps should be taken during the course of the
teaching-learning activities. There are several factors that need to be considered in defining the
outcomes, to ensure that these are aligned with the set directions of the program and
evaluating setting in general.

Following are the factors that need 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
 Quantitative reasoning ability together with scientific methodology
 Analyzing, synthesizing and developing creative solutions.
 Use of technology
 Information literacy

3. Characteristics of Good Learning Outcome

It is important to define outcomes as clearly and explicitly as possible. Good learning outcomes
give emphasis to the application and integration of the knowledge and skills acquired in a
particular unit of instruction and emerge from a process of reflection on the essential contents
of the activity, course, program, etc.

1. Very specific and use verbs that makes expectation clear. By being very specific, it
informs students of the standards by which they will be assessed and ensures that
student and instructor goals in the course are aligned.
2. Focused on the learner: rather than explaining what the instructor will do in the
course, good learning outcomes describe knowledge or skills that the student will
employ, and help the learner understand why that knowledge and those skills are
useful and valuable to their personal, professional, and academic future.
3. Are realistic: all passing students should be able to demonstrate the knowledge or
skill described by the learning outcome at the conclusion of the course. In this way,
learning outcomes establish standards for the course.
4. Focus on the application and integration of acquired knowledge and skills: good
learning outcomes reflect and indicate the ways in which the described knowledge
and skills may be used by the learner now and in the future.
5. Good learning outcomes prepare students for assessment and help them feel
engaged in and empowered by the assessment and evaluation process.
6. Offer a timeline for completion of the desired learning.
