Note: *If there is more than one section in a particular grade level, the average percentage of the
learners who achieved or exceeded the MPL shall be reported.

Analysis and Interpretation:

The results of the regional mid-year assessment showed that more than half or 63.61% of grade 8
STE learners who took the test achieved or exceeded the MPL in science 8, while the rest failed to
achieve the MPL.

Part B. Cognitive Levels based on Most Learned and Least Learned Competencies

B.1 Most Learned Competencies that Fall under each Cognitive Level

*In case there were items given intended for ‘creating’.

Analysis and Interpretation:

Most of the highest learned competencies fell under lower-order thinking skills (remembering-4,
understanding-3). The results showed that grade 8 regular students found questions involving
lower-order thinking skills easier since they mastered concepts requiring only recall and
comprehension. On the other hand, there were four higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) questions
involving applying and analyzing that students mastered. This showed that those grade 8 regular
students found some HOTS questions easy and thus were able to answer them correctly.

B.2 Least Learned Competencies that Fall under each Cognitive Level

*In case there were items given intended for ‘creating’

Analysis and Interpretation:

Questions involving both lower-order thinking skills (LOTS) and higher-order thinking skills (HOTS)
fell under the least learned competencies. Questions involving higher-order thinking skills like
analyzing and evaluating were found hard by grade 8 STE students and these are understandable
since these require high literacy and numeracy skills. The results also showed that the students
also had poor thinking skills since they failed to master concepts requiring only recall and
comprehension. Perhaps the way the questions were asked or the plausible distractors on those
requiring lower-level thinking skills can be revised so that students can answer them correctly.
