POLICY GUIDELINES ON CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT FOR THE K TO 12 BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAM (BEP)

I. Theoretical Basis
Classroom Assessment is a joint process that involves both teachers and learners. It is an
integral part of teaching and learning. Teachers provide appropriate assessment when
they aim to holistically measure learners' current and developing abilities while enabling
them to take responsibility in the process. This view recognizes the diversity of learners
inside the classroom, the need for multiple ways of measuring their varying abilities and
learning potentials, and the role of learners as co-participants in the assessment process.

At the heart of this assessment framework is the recognition and deliberate consideration
of the learners' zone of proximal development (Vygotsky 1978). Appropriate assessment
is committed to ensure learners' success in moving from guided to independent display of
LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct your paths

knowledge, understanding, and skills, and to enable them to transfer this successfully in
future situations. From this point of v i e w , assessment facilitates the development of
learners' higher-order thinking and 21st-century skills.
This view of assessment, therefore, acknowledges the unity of instruction and assessment.
Assessment is part of day-to-day lessons and extends the day-to-day classroom activities
that are already in place in the K to 12 curriculums.

II. What is Classroom Assessment?


Assessment is a process that is used to keep track of learners' progress in relation to
learning standards and in the development of 21st-century skills; to promote self-
reflection and personal accountability among students about their own learning; and to
provide bases for the profiling of student performance on the learning competencies and
standards of the curriculum. Various kinds of assessments shall be used appropriately for
different learners who come from diverse contexts, such as cultural background and life
experiences.

Classroom Assessment is an ongoing process of identifying, gathering, organizing, and


interpreting quantitative and qualitative information about what learners know and can
do.

Teachers should employ classroom assessment methods that are consistent with
curriculum standards. It is important for teachers to always inform learners about the
objectives of the lesson so that the latter will aim to meet or even exceed the standards.
The teacher provides immediate feedback to students about their learning progress.
Classroom assessment also measures the achievement of competencies by the learner

LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct your paths

There are two types of classroom assessment, namely, formative and summative.

A. Formative assessment may be seen as assessment for learning so teachers can make
adjustments in their instruction. It is also assessment as learning wherein students
reflect on their own progress. According to the UNESCO Program on Teaching and
Learning for a Sustainable Future (UNESCO-TLSF), formative assessment refers to the
ongoing forms of assessment that are closely linked to the learning process. It is
characteristically informal and is intended to help students identify strengths and
weaknesses in order to learn from the assessment experience.

Formative assessment may be given at any time during the teaching and learning
process. It is also a way to check the effectiveness of instruction.

Formative assessment involves teachers using evidence about what learners know
and can do to inform and improve their teaching. Teachers observe and guide
learners in their tasks through interaction and dialogue, thus gaining deeper
insights into the learners' progress, strengths, weaknesses, and needs. The results
of formative assessments will help teachers make good instructional decisions so
that their lessons are better suited to the learners' abilities. It is important for
teachers to record formative assessment by documenting and tracking learners'
progress using systematic ways that can easily provide insight into a student's
learning. Such monitoring will allow teachers to understand their students and thus
teach them better. Formative assessment results, however, are not included in the
computation of summative assessment.

Formative assessment must also provide students with immediate feedback on how
well they are learning throughout the teaching-learning process. Recommendations
on how they can improve themselves should also be given by the teachers. Formative
assessment enables students to take responsibility for their own learning, and identify
areas where they do well and where they need help. As a result, students will
appreciate and make their own decisions about their progress.

B. Summative assessment, on the other hand, may be seen as assessment of learning,


which occurs at the end of a particular unit. This form of assessment usually occurs
toward the end of a period of learning in order to describe the standard reached by
the learner. Often, this takes place in order for appropriate decisions about future
learning or job suitability to be made. Judgments derived from summative assessment
are usually for the benefit of people other than the learner (UNESCO-TLSF).

Summative assessment measures whether learners have met the content and
performance standards. Teachers must use methods to measure student learning that
have been deliberately designed to assess how well students have learned and are able
to apply their learning in different contexts. The results of

LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct your paths

summative assessments are recorded and used to report on the learners'


achievement. Primarily, the results of summative assessment are reported to
the learners and their parents/guardians. In addition, these are reported to
principals/school heads, teachers who will receive the child in the next grade
level, and guidance teachers who should help students cope with challenges
they experience in school.

III. What is assessed in the classroom?

Assessment in the classroom is aimed at helping students perform well in relation to


the learning standards. Learning standards comprise content standards,
performance standards, and learning competencies that are outlined in the
curriculum.
A. Content Standards identify and set the essential knowledge and understanding
that should be learned. They cover a specified scope of sequential topics within
each learning strand, domain, theme, or component. Content standards answer
the question, "What should the learners know?".

B. Performance Standards describe the abilities and skills that learners are expected
to demonstrate in relation to the content standards and integration of 21st-
century skills. The integration of knowledge, understanding, and skills is expressed
through creation, innovation, and adding value to products/ performance during
independent work or in collaboration with others. Performance standards
answer the following questions:
1. "What can learners do with what they know?"
2. "How well must learners do their work?"
3. "How well do learners use their learning or understanding in different
situations?"
4. "How do learners apply their learning or understanding in real-life contexts?"
5. "What tools and measures should learners use to demonstrate what they
know?"

C. Learning Competencies refer to the knowledge, understanding, skills, and attitudes


that students need to demonstrate in every lesson and/ or learning activity.

D. Concept Development
The learning standards in the curriculum reflect progressions of concept
development. The Cognitive Process Dimensions adapted from Anderson &
Krathwohl (2001) may be a good way to operationalize these progressions. It
provides a scheme for classifying educational goals, objectives, and standards. It
also defines a broad range of cognitive processes from basic to complex, as follows:
Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, and Creating. Each
dimension is described in Table 1.

LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he
shall direct your paths

To align the assessment process with the K to 12 curriculum, the adapted Cognitive Process

Dimensions may be used as guide not only in lesson development but also in the formulation
of assessment tasks and activities.

IV. How are learners assessed in the classroom?


Learners are assessed in the classroom through various processes and measures
appropriate to and congruent with learning competencies defined in the K to 12
curriculums. Some of these processes and measures may be used for both formative and
summative assessment, which have different goals. Learners may be assessed individually
or collaboratively.

Individual and Collaborative Formative Assessment


Individual formative assessment enables the learner to demonstrate independently what
has been learned or mastered through a range of activities such as check-up quizzes,
written exercises, performances, models, and even electronic presentations.

Collaborative formative assessment (peer assessment) allows students to support each


other's learning. Discussions, role playing, games, and other group activities

LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths
may also be used as performance-based formative assessment wherein learners
support and extend each other's learning.

Formative Assessment in Different Parts of the Lesson


Formative assessment may be integrated in all parts of the lesson. Basically, every
lesson has three parts: before the lesson, the lesson proper, and after the lesson.
Formative assessment conducted in each part serves a different purpose.

A. Before the Lesson


Formative assessment conducted before the lesson informs the teacher about the
students' understanding of a lesson/topic before direct instruction. It helps teachers
understand where the students stand in terms of conceptual understanding and
application. Formative assessment provides bases for making instructional
decisions, such as moving on to a new lesson or clarifying prerequisite
understanding.

B. During the Lesson Proper


Formative assessment conducted during the lesson proper informs teachers of the
progress of the students in relation to the development of the learning
competencies. It also helps the teacher determine whether instructional strategies
are effective. The results of formative assessment given at this time may be
compared with the results of formative assessment given before the lesson to
establish if conceptual understanding and application have improved. On this basis,
the teacher can make decisions on whether to review, re-teach, remediate, or
enrich lessons and, subsequently, when to move on to the next lesson.

C. After the Lesson


Formative assessment conducted after the lesson assesses whether learning
objectives were achieved. It also allows the teacher to evaluate the effectiveness of
instruction. Students who require remediation and/ or enrichment should be
helped by the teacher using appropriate teaching strategies.

Table 2 enumerates the purposes of formative assessments conducted before,


during, and after the lesson. It also shows examples of assessment methods.
Teachers should not limit the assessment methods they use to the examples
provided in the table on page 6.

Evaluations is the Process of making Judgments Based on Criteria and evidence.


There are two types of Rubrics for evaluating method of Student Evidence.
- Holistic Rubrics:
• Consists of single scale with all criteria to be included in the evaluation being considered
together (e.g., Clarity, Organization, and Mechanics) with a Holistic Rubrics the rater assigns a
single score (Usually on a 1 to 4 or 1 to 6 points scale) Based on an overall Judgment of the
student works.
LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths
- Analytic Rubrics:
• An analytic Rubrics Resemble a grid with the criteria for a student product listed in the leftmost
column and with level of performance listed across the top row often using numbers and/or
descriptive tags.

THE NINE TYPES OF INTELLIGENCE THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN ALL SCHOOL


- Intrapersonal: Intrapersonal intelligence refers to self-awareness and people’s ability to
understand themselves. Do you understand what you are feeling and why you are feeling it?
Intrapersonal intelligence also involves appreciating and respecting the human condition, in
general, treating others the way you would like to be treated yourself.
- Interpersonal: Interpersonal intelligence or emotional intelligence refers to the link between
intelligence and emotions. Someone with interpersonal intelligence is good at sensing other
people’s emotions and reading their motives, this can be linked to both verbal and non-verbal
communication skills.
- Visual/spatial: Visual-spatial intelligence refers to people’s ability to view or visualise the world in
its three dimensions. When discussing visualising the world in 3D, it involves the following
capabilities: Mental imagery – being able to draw up an image or picture without an external
stimulus, drawing from memories or previous experience. In other words, the detail of someone’s
imagination. Spatial reasoning – being able to think about objects in 3D and draw generalisations
despite having limited information. Mention a pyramid, and people with visual-spatial intelligence
will be able to visualise how that pyramid will look from the front or the top. Image manipulation
– being able to visualise changes to an image before they have been implemented. For example,
an artist visualising how their picture will look before they have drawn it. Artistic skills – being
able to create artwork, this also includes graphic skills. Visual-spatial intelligence and creativity
work hand-in-hand, drawing on an active imagination to produce impressive visual work.

- Naturalistic: Naturalist intelligence refers to the ability to read and understand nature. Having
sensitivity to the non-living elements of all living things is considered “nature smart”.
- Logical/Mathematical: Perhaps the most obvious of the nine kinds of intelligence, logical-
mathematical intelligence refers to someone’s ability to solve mathematical problems, spot trends
and patterns, and understand relationships. If someone possesses logical-mathematical
intelligence it means that order and sequencing feature greatly in their thinking process and they
can think conceptually and abstractly.
- Existential: Existential intelligence refers to deep sensitivity and people’s ability to handle deep
questions such as the meaning of existence, it’s one of the most complex of the nine types of
intelligence listed in Gardner’s research. People with existential intelligence are not only
comfortable talking about these serious questions but also strive to find the answer.
- Music/Rhythmic: Musical intelligence is the most self-explanatory of the nine types of intelligence,
it refers to someone’s ability to sense rhythm and sound and use this to create music.
LUKE 1:37
For with God nothing shall be impossible.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart; and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways
acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths
- Bodily/kinesthetic: Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence refers to mind and body co-ordination and is very
important in athletes. Athletic ability isn’t often referred to as intelligence, but kinesthetic
intelligence is measured on someone’s ability to use their physicality to manipulate objects and
other elements around them.
- Verbal/linguistic: Linguistic intelligence gauges someone’s ability to use words effectively. This
doesn’t necessarily mean learning another language, someone who exclusively uses one language
proficiently can still have linguistic intelligence. Being able to use the right words and express what
you mean is a unique skill that can be utilized in several different scenarios.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT:
- The Curriculum refers to all learning experience within the context of Education.
- Curriculum Development is Defined as planned, a purposeful, progressive, and systematic process
to create positive improvements in the education system.
