OBSERVATION 5.1
Introduction: An integrated process for determining the nature and extent of
student learning and development is assessment. This process
of effective assessment considers principles that would guide
both the teacher and the students. The following are the good
practice principles of assessing students learning outcomes:
(Navarro, et al., 2017)
1. The assessment of student learning starts with the
institution’s mission and core values.
2. Assessment works best when the program has clear
statement of objectives aligned with the institutional
mission and core values.
3. Outcomes-based assessment focuses on the student
activities that will still be relevant after formal
schooling concludes.
4. Assessment requires attention not only to outcomes but
also and equally to the activities and experiences that
lead to the attainment of learning outcomes.
5. Assessment works best when it is continuous, ongoing
and not episodic.
6. Begin by specifying clearly and exactly what to assess.
7. The intended learning outcome/lesson objective NOT
CONTENT is the basis of the assessment task.
8. Select criterion of success or acceptable standard of
success.
9. Make use of varied tools for assessment data-gathering
and multiple sources of assessment data.
10. Learners must be given feedback about their performance.
 11. Assessment should be on real-world application and

not on out- context drills.

12. Emphasize on the assessment of higher-order thinking.
13. Provide opportunities for self-assessment

Learning At the end of this module, I will be able to:

Outcome • determine applications of the guiding principles in
s:
given situations; and
• distinguish applications of assessment principles in
teaching- learning process.

Principles of Assessment Observations Aligned to the
Principles
1 Assessment is an integral part As I observed during discussion, the teacher
of the teaching-learning process. asked question to the learners and occurrence of
ideas or exchange of knowledge were being
noticed. This is one way to evaluate the
understanding of the learners to the topic
introduced to them.
2 The results of assessment must The learner has the right to see the fruits of his
be feedback to the learners sacrifices and I noticed that the teacher has this
principle in mind in a way that she returned the
outputs of her students in a very usual way. I
mean she gave it back without degrading to
those who got low and boosting to those who got
high.
3 Emphasize on self-assessment The teacher assesses herself before entering to
the classroom because self-assessment is very
important especially for her because it is one
way to evaluate if the strategies used is effective.
4 . Assessment of learning Assessment of learning was not used to
should never be used as punished students instead it is used to measure
punishment or as disciplinary the knowledge and understanding of the learners
measure.
5 Emphasize on real world I observed that the teacher favors realistic
application that favors realistic performance because she gives activities that the
performances over out-of-
context drills. learners develop their skills such as drawing in
relation with their lesson. The learners enjoyed
their different activities.
 REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Instructions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on the space
provided.

1. Which principles of assessment were often observed and practiced? Explain.

The teachers at our school always emphasize the importance of real-world application
when it comes to learning. They believe that it is more important for students to be
able to perform realistically in situations that they may encounter in their lives, rather
than just doing drills in class that have no real-world context. This approach definitely
has its benefits, as it can help students to be better prepared for what they may
encounter in the future.

2. Which of the principles were the least observed? Expound.

There are many reasons why the teacher’s assessment of learning should never be used
as punishment or as disciplinary measure. Firstly, it would be an ineffective way to
motivate students. If students are constantly being punished for their results, they are
likely to become demotivated and may even give up altogether. Secondly, it would be
a form of discrimination. If some students are being punished for their results while
others are not, it would create an unfair and unequal learning environment.

ANALYSIS & KEY INSIGHTS

Instructions: Answer the following questions

1. How can assessments help you understand your learners?

Assessments are a valuable tool that can help you understand your learners. By
selecting the right type of assessment and using it effectively, you can gain insights
into your learners' strengths, weaknesses, and progress. There are a variety of
assessment types that you can use to understand your learners. Some common
assessment types include quizzes, exams, projects, and papers. Each type of
assessment has its own advantages and disadvantages. For example, quizzes are
typically quick and easy to administer, but they only assess a limited amount of
content. Exams, on the other hand, can assess a large amount of content, but they can
be time-consuming to grade

OBSERVATION 5.2
Introduction: In the instructional cycle, assessment is a crucial part. The
instructional cycle consists of the intended learning outcomes,
selecting teaching methodology and activities that are aligned
to the learning outcome and assessment itself. Assessment is
the part of the instructional cycle that determines whether the
intended learning outcome has been attained. There are types
of assessment that teachers do. These are assessment FOR,
OF and AS.
Assessment FOR is also called formative assessment. It is
done during the learning process to determine the learning
progress of the students using activities or tasks. Assessment
OF, also called summative assessment where it is done at the
end of every unit, week, month, term or grading period to
measure, record and report the level of the student’s
achievement. Assessment AS, also called personal or self-
assessment that allows student to reflect on his own learning
and identify areas of strength and need.

Learning Outcomes:
At the end able to:
of this • distinguish the three types of assessment; and
module, I
will be • draw concrete examples of those forms of assessment.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

Instructions: Answer the following questions. Write your answer on the space
provided.

1. Based on your observations, to what extent is assessment AS learning

practiced compared to assessment FOR and OF learning?

Based on my observations assessment AS learning is the most effective way of

promoting learning, as it encourages students to be actively involved in their own
learning process. This is because it allows students to receive feedback on their
progress, and to set their own learning goals.
 2. What can you do to eliminate students’ fear of assessment?

One way to reduce fear is to provide students with opportunities to practice and
receive feedback before the actual assessment. This can help them feel more prepared
and confident. Another way to reduce fear is to be clear and concise about the
assessment criteria. This way, students will know exactly what is expected of them and
they can be sure that they are meeting the standards. Finally, it is important to be
supportive and encouraging throughout the assessment process. This includes offering
positive feedback and constructive criticism.

ANALYSIS & KEY INSIGHTS

Instructions: Answer the following questions

1. Why is it important to provide the learners with varied learning assessments and
activities?

it is important to provide the learners with varied learning assessments and activities in
order to cater to their individual needs and preferences. This allows the learners to
have a more holistic and well-rounded learning experience. First, it allows the learners
to be exposed to different types of learning materials and activities, which can cater to
their individual needs and preferences. Second, it helps the learners to develop a more
holistic understanding of the subject matter. Third, it allows the learners to have a
more enjoyable and engaging learning experience.

OBSERVATION 5.3
Introduction: Assessment methods, tools and tasks can be classified as
traditional and authentic. Traditional assessment method is
also referred as the paper and pencil test. Traditional
assessment is appropriate to use when cognitive domain of
learning is assessed. This traditional assessment is grouped
into selected response or recognition andconstructed response
or supply.

Another form of assessment is called authentic assessment, or

it also called alternative assessment. Authentic assessment is
a form of assessment in which students are asked to perform
a real-world task that demonstrate meaningful application of
essential knowledge and skills. Alternative assessment
because the teacher goes away with the use of paper and pencil
tests. In authentic assessment, the students demonstrate what
they have learned by either a product or a performance. When
the teacher uses authentic assessment, rubric is used to
observe and judge the performance of the students.

The scoring rubric is an important tool for teachers. It allows them to evaluate student
work quickly and accurately. The rubric also provides a common language for teachers
and students to use when discussing student work. The scoring rubric is a valuable tool
for teachers because it provides a clear and concise way to evaluate student work. It
also allows teachers to give students specific feedback that can help them improve
their work.

2. If you were to improve the scoring rubric, what are these and why?

The best way to improve the score on a scoring rubric is to produce a well-written,
well-organized, and well-developed project that is free of errors. By following these
tips, students can increase their chances of earning a high score on the rubric.
 ANALYSIS & KEY INSIGHTS

Instructions: Answer the following questions

1. What are your considerations in developing learning assessments for your

high school learners?

When it comes to developing learning assessments for high school students, there are a
number of factors to consider. These include the purpose of the assessment, the type of
assessment, the content to be assessed, and the students themselves.

The purpose of the assessment is an important consideration. Is the assessment for

formative or summative purposes? Formative assessments are used to provide
feedback to students and help them improve their learning. Summative assessments,
on the other hand, are used to evaluate student learning.

2. Identify the type of rubric the teacher used. Describe the content of the rubric as
to the criteria and levels of performance

The teacher used a type of rubric known as a content rubric. This type of rubric
focuses on the content of the student's work, rather than the form or structure. The
content rubric used by the teacher had criteria for each level of performance, ranging
from "poor" to "excellent." The criteria for each level were as follows:
Poor: The student's work did not meet the minimum requirements for the assignment.
Fair: The student's work met the minimum requirements for the assignment but was
lacking in some areas.
Good: The student's work met the requirements for the assignment and showed some
level of mastery.
Excellent: The student's work exceeded the requirements for the assignment and
showed a high level of mastery.
