ASSESSMENT IN LEARNING II

A CLOSE LOOK AT STUDENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES (SLO)

Prepared by:
Ms. Chelsea F. Madiclom
WHAT ARE STUDENT LEARNING
OUTCOMES?
TARGET OUTCOMES

At the end of the lesson, you are expected to

 Explain the importance and characteristics of
student learning outcomes;
 Identify the bases of constructing student learning
outcomes; and
 Construct good student learning outcomes.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

 All assessment and evaluation activities should start with

the identification and clarification of the student learning
outcomes (SLO).
 The identified and clarified student learning outcomes
serve as the load stars that will guide both teacher and
students in activities leading to the attainment of the
desired learning outcomes.

SOURCES OF EXPECTED
STUDENT LEARNING
OUTCOMES
 1. The institution’s mission statement is a
relevant source of the student learning
expectations.

 Public schools refer to the public school system

SOURCES OF mission or state school charter as source of learning
EXPECTED STUDENT outcomes.
LEARNING
OUTCOMES Private schools are either sectarian or non-sectarian and
their mission may be sourced from their founder’s
philosophy in the case of non-sectarian schools.

expectations.

 Public schools refer to the public school system

SOURCES OF mission or state school charter as source of learning
outcomes.
EXPECTED STUDENT
LEARNING  Private schools are either sectarian or non-sectarian
and their mission may be sourced from their
OUTCOMES respective religious goals, in the case of sectarian
schools, or founder’s philosophy in the case of non-
sectarian schools.
 2. Policies on competencies and standards issued
by government education agencies such as:
 Department of Education (DepEd)
E.g. DepEd Order No. 21 s. 2019: Policy Guidelines on
SOURCES OF the K to 12 Basic Education Program
EXPECTED STUDENT  Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
LEARNING (TESDA)
OUTCOMES E.g. TESDA No. 18, s. 2021: Implementing Guidelines
for Agile, Flexible and Quality Assured Community-
based Training Program
 Commission on Higher Education (CHED)
E.g. CHED Memo 74-78 s. 2017: Policies, Standards, and
Guidelines for BEEd, BSEd, BECEd, BSNEd, and BTLEd
 3. Expected competencies identified by the
different professions, business, and industry
should be adopted to ensure that graduates
are able to perform as expected in their
respective work places and/or professions.

SOURCES OF
EXPECTED STUDENT  E.g. Teaching Competencies
LEARNING Communication and Interpersonal Skills.
OUTCOMES Organization and Planning.
Classroom Management.
Facilitation and Engagement.
Assessment and Coaching.
Collaboration and Teamwork.
Caring and Inclusiveness.
Flexibility and Adaptability.
 4. The trusts and development goals of the
national government are useful integration in
the identified competencies and expectations
from all sectors of education.

SOURCES OF  E.g. Under the Philippine Development Plan, the

EXPECTED STUDENT government aimed to reduce the poverty rate to 14%
LEARNING and to become an upper-middle income economy by
OUTCOMES 2022.
 5. International trends and developments should
also be considered in identifying and
determining student learning outcomes to
ensure the graduates’ competitiveness in the
employment and professional practice abroad.
SOURCES OF
EXPECTED STUDENT  E.g.
LEARNING
OUTCOMES Trend 1: Our relationship with our planet.
Trend 2: Shifts in economic and political power.
Trend 3: Growing divergence and polarization.
Trend 4: Shifting demographics.
Trend 5: Social, cultural and workplace shifts.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
GOOD LEARNING
OUTCOMES
GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE:
LEARNER-CENTERED
 Possible instructional techniques and activities
 are centered on the students, on what
the learners are capable of doing,
instead of the teaching technique
 Example Student Learning Outcome
“The students can explain and illustrate
the life cycle of an insect.”
1. Video presentation of the life cycle of a butterfly
2. Poster presentation of the different stages in the
development of a butterfly
3. Field trip to a botanical garden or nature park to
observe the different stages in the life cycle of a
butterfly
4. Submission of an essay on the dangers observed
that will interrupt or abort the life cycle of the
butterfly
5. Submission of a proposed project to protect the
life cycle of insects or other useful animals
GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE:
BASED FROM A GOOD SOURCE

 based on the program mission statement agreed upon by the program faculty in consultation
with other stakeholders like alumni and other professionals
 from government regulatory agencies such as DepEd’s K to 12 Law Enhanced Basic
Education in the Philippines, the CHED’s Policies, Standards and Guidelines on Teacher
Education,
 thrusts of appropriate professional organizations and advocacies of employer and industry
groups
GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE:
HEARED

 very well understood by both students and faculty

 They should be in agreement on the importance of these competencies which they will
cooperatively develop.
H - Hooking the students to the desired learning outcome
E - Exploring and experiencing the supporting student activities
A - Applying the ideas/knowledge required in contrived, simulated, or real-life situations
R - Reining, rehearsing, reviewing, the target skills/competencies
E - Evaluation the degree of learning outcome performance
D - Deciding on the action, solution, or creative project to apply the learning outcome
GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES:
INCLUDE SPECTRUM OF THINKING SKILLS

 from simple to the higher order application of knowledge and skills

 Here is an example of a range of learning outcomes from the simple to the complex under the
competency: “ability to understand.”
a. Can identify e. Can synthesize
b. Can explain f. Can evaluate
c. Can apply g. Can judge
d. Can analyze h. Can create
GOOD LEARNING OUTCOMES ARE:
MEASURABLE

 Student competencies should be expressed as transitive verbs and/or action words which
are demonstrable and observable at various levels.
