outcomes

 Identify the levels of learning outcomes and levels of assessment

 Match the levels of learning outcomes with appropriate assessment tools

 Interpret the value of assessment in terms of grades assigned

Take Off

We have gone a long way in understanding, interpreting and applying the concept of curriculum

development. We will continue to understand that the curriculum can be evaluated right in the

teacher’s classroom. Finding out if the planned, written, implemented curriculum are functioning

as intended in the assessment of learning is very crucial.

How does a teacher know, that the students have learned from what has been taught? Many

educational practitioners agree that the measure of one’s teaching is indicated by what the

children have learned. The teacher cannot claim that he/she has taught if the students have not

learned anything.

Let us find out in this lesson that assessment of learning is an evaluation process that tells

whether the intended learning outcomes, through the teaching-learning process, have been
converted into achieved learning outcomes. We will also find out that leaning outcomes can be

measured through the use of different assessment tools.

Further, as future teachers, you should also understand and interpret the grading system that

has been derived from assessment of learning.

1. Achieved Learning Outcomes

Achieved learning outcomes is defined in outcomes-based education as a product of what have

been intended in the beginning of the learning process. Indicators of the learning outcomes

which are accomplished are called achieved learning outcomes. Standards and competencies

are used as the indicators and measures of these outcomes.

Our country has established the Philippines Qualification Framework (PQF) as standards which

will be aligned to the ASEAN Reference Qualification Framework (ARQF) for the comparability

of the learning outcomes the different levels of educational ladder. The PQF is shown in the

diagram below. (Source: Department of Education)
