Descriptive Title: Assessment of Student Learning 1

Worksheet No.1
1.How can assessment of student learning help teachers?

The assessment of student learning helps teachers planning and providing effective targeted
instruction in the academic content standard, assessment enables teachers to measure the
effectiveness of their teaching by linking student performance to specific learning objectives.

2.Why must teachers use many different technique of assessment?

As a teacher, it is our job to make learning fun for our students. This requires us to find out
what interests every students and also be willing to be creative with how we teach and what
we use to evaluate our students. By using a variety of assessments we accommodate to all
different students’ learning styles and give them the opportunity for choice. This will make
more exciting for them, and will also help them to better understand material being taught.

3.How can assessment help improve educational for all students?

Students who assess themselves are learning and improving their cognitive skills while
assessment is happening. For example, in our classroom, students are often asked to reflect
on what they know before, during, and after a particular lesson, inviting them not only to
chart a course for the progress they want to make but also to understand what they already
bring to the classroom. Before the lesson even begins, they are exercising muscles that
develop an academic mindset, which prepares them to understand not only what they learn
but how they are learning it. Those skills will enhance their ability to learn, adapt, and grow
in future classrooms as well as in career and life settings.

ACTIVITY NO.1

As a college student, you have experienced several assessments in basic education. Recall from your
own personal experience an assessment that you think was truly meaningful to you. Explain why it is so.
Explain the nature and purpose of that particular assessment.

When I was in elementary, we were tasked to memorize the multiplication table and recite it
in front of the class to check whether we memorized it or not. Without the right nudge and
proper guidance of our teacher at that time, I wouldn’t be able to do it. It is meaningful to
me because it helped me a lot especially in Junior High School. I believe that it is a type of
individual-formative assessment, its role is to enable the students to demonstrate what they
have learned during the lesson through performance, quizzes, etc.
TASK NO. 1 ASSESSMENT SCENARIOS

1. Ms. De Leon, a Grade 5 Science Teacher, was not done with her lessons about rocks and soil
erosion. She needs to complete her learning outcome so she decided to give hand-outs to her
students for them to study. She gave a test that required students to discuss the type of rocks,
how rocks turn into soil and the effect of soil erosion on living things and the environment.

In this case Ms. De Leon does not finish her lesson in Grade 5. She gives a test that required
students to discuss even though she didn’t finish her discussion about her topic.

2. Mr. Bautista is a Physical Education instructor. He used direct observation to appraise the
dribbling, passing shooting and lay-up skills of his students in basketball. He rated Paul 87 based
on his skills. He observed that Paul was able to shoot successfully most of the time. He noted
that Paul was a fair shooter.

Mr. Bautista didn’t use the Diagnostics Assessment which is to assess and improve the learning
and not to give grades.

3. Chit, a student’s - teacher majoring in English, conducted a teaching-demonstration on the

Figures of Speech. She uses different colorful pictures in discussing her lessons and
incorporating rewards system to motivate her students. After the demonstration, she obtained
an overall rating of 70%. The critic teacher wrote that Chit was a second -class teacher.

The critic teacher gives direct rating on the demonstration without knowing the result of the
assessment test of the students given by the student’s teacher.

WORKSHEET NO.2 ASSESSMENT SCENARIOS

1. A group of Science teacher analyzed the results of the national achievement test given to
Grade 6pupils. Most of their students obtained low scores in science. They learned further
that their students obtained low scores in science. They learned further that their students
had difficulty with items about physical and chemical changes, forms and uses of energy,
and motion. They thought of a professional development project that focuses on
introducing pedagogical innovations particularly in teaching the said topics. After two years,
they saw a marked improvement in the performance of their students in the national test,
particularly on Science items about forms of matter, energy, and motion.

Formative assessment was being used, they evaluate development, strengths and weaknesses
of the students, they provide different insights and actions.
2. For the entire session, a Social Studies teacher emphasized the importance of human rights
in nation building. Towards the end of the period, he handed each student a piece of paper
and posed a question: “What happens if human rights violations go unchecked?” The
teacher made use of the “exit ticket” strategy to see what students have learned at the end
of the lesson. The students wrote their answers to the question and submitted them to the
teacher at the end of the period upon leaving. After reading his students response, he starts
planning for the next session.

Summative Assessment is being used in the scenario, because it evaluate student learning, skill
acquisition, and academic achievement.
