Assessment in Learning and Test Construction

Subject No. 4: _____________________________________________

General Instruction:
a. Revisit the Recorded Video/fb live on the webinar conducted last January 14, 2023.
b. Write down all the questions that was presented during the webinar for Subject no. 4. Include the
correct answer and the rationalization for each item.

1. The intended learning outcome in a lesson on assessment in learning reads: “At the end of the lesson, the
students must be able to select an appropriate assessment method”. If an assessment task would instruct the
students to classify given assessment methods, would it be aligned to the given learning outcome?
a) Yes
b) No
c) Slight alignment because the behavioral verbs are related
d) Yes, if the verb select would be replaced by classify
Rationalization: B – Choosing assessment method is different from classifying it. Teachers considered theories and
principles.

2. Teacher Joan explains to her students what it takes to get a good grade on the subject she’s handling. For
instance, to get an excellent rating in their project, students must include critiques of 5 research articles; each critique
should not be less than 2 pages of content and should have at least 5 references. For students in the lower grade
levels, similar bet less stringent standards are used. This exemplifies _____________.
a) Norm-referencing
b) Criterion-Referencing
c) Testing
d) Grading along the curve
Rationalization: B - Criterion-referenced tests compare a person's knowledge or skills against a predetermined
standard, learning goal, performance level, or other criterion. With criterion-referenced tests, each person's
performance is compared directly to the standard, without considering how other students perform on the test.

3. Which is classified as non-objective test?

a) Essay
b) Short answer
c) Matching type
d) Alternative response
Rationalization: A - In essay items the examinee writes the answer in her/his own words whereas the in objective
type of tests the examinee selects the correct answer from the among several given alternatives. Thinking and writing
are important in essay tests whereas reading and thinking are important in objective type tests.

limitations. Which essential characteristics of assessment is ensured?
a) Validity
b) Reliability
c) Usability
d) Flexibility
Rationalization: C - Usability evaluation may include a variety of methods to examine the extent to which a system is
effective, efficient, engaging, and efficient - basically, it is an evaluation of how use-able something is.

6. A test measures student performance compared to the performance of some known group. This is refereed to as
_____________ test.
a) Norm-referenced
b) Criterion-refenced
c) Subject-based
d) Outcome-based
Rationalization: A - Norm-referenced tests report whether test takers performed better or worse than a hypothetical
average student, which is determined by comparing scores against the performance results of a statistically selected
group of test takers, typically of the same age or grade level, who have already taken the exam.

7. Which of the following performance based assessment is the most authentic?

a) An essay test focusing on vocabulary.
b) Assessing skills in the use of scientific method thru science experiments
c) Assessing music or art projects through artistic production.
d) Assessing students’ communication skills thru oral performance.
Rationalization: C – Authentic assessment is the idea of using creative learning experiences to test students' skills
and knowledge in realistic situations. Authentic assessment measures students' success in a way that's relevant to
the skills required of them once they've finished your course or degree program. Option C is the closest in real-life
application, it varies on contextualized assessment.

8. Which of the following assessment is the closest to the principle that assessment should be focused on real-world
application?
a) Matching type of test in vocabulary
b) Quiz on whether the sound of ‘a’ us long or short
c) Assess communication skills through a simulation of graduation program where students will be speaking.
d) Essay question on the importance of communication in building professional linkages.
Rationalization: C - Simulations can be used to tune up performance, optimize a process, improve safety, testing
theories, training staff and even for entertainment in video games! Scientifically modelling systems allows a user to
gain an insight into the effects of different conditions and courses of action.

9. Teacher Carmela wants to assess if students can apply their lesson in similar real-life scenarios. She can
apply____.
a) Performance assessment
b) Simulation
c) Demonstration
d) Drills
Rationalization: B - Simulations promote the use of critical and evaluative thinking. Because they are ambiguous or
open-ended, they encourage students to contemplate the implications of a scenario. The situation feels real and thus
leads to more engaging interaction by learners.

general assessment approach is illustrated?
a) Assessment as learning
b) Assessment for learning
c) Assessment for and as learning
d) Assessment of learning
Rationalization: B - Assessment for learning is ongoing assessment that allows teachers to monitor students on a
day-to-day basis and modify their teaching based on what the students need to be successful. This assessment
provides students with the timely, specific feedback that they need to make adjustments to their learning.

13Generally, a post test alone is a ________________ assessment.

a) Diagnostic
b) Outcome
c) Self
d) Process
Rationalization: B - Outcomes assessment is a collaborative process of inquiry regarding student learning outcomes,
followed by analysis, reflection, and action. The goal of outcomes assessment is to improve student learning and
improve instructional programs.
