MEASUREMENT – is the quantification of what
students learned through the use of tests,
questionnaires, rating scales, checklists, and other
devices.
Example: A teacher who gave his/her class a 10
item-quiz after a lesson on the agreement of subject
and verb is undertaking measurement of what was
learned by the students on that particular lesson.
2
ASSESSMENT – refers to the full range of
information gathered and synthesized by the
teachers about their students and their classrooms.
…..INFORMATION can be gathered in 2 ways:
- Formal ways- assignments, tests, written reports
and outputs (paper and pencil test)
- Informal ways – observation and verbal
exchange
3
MEASUREMENT – refers to the quantification of
students’ performance
ASSESSMENT – refers to the gathering and
synthesizing of information
EVALUATION – is a process of making
judgments, assigning value or deciding on the
worth of students’ performance.
Thus, when a teacher assign a grade to the score
obtained in a chapter quiz or term examination, he
4
is performing an EVALUATIVE ACT. This is
because he/she places value on the information
gathered on the test.
So, EVALUATION is different from both
measurement and assessment.
MEASUREMENT – How much does a student
learn or know?
ASSESSMENT – How much change has occurred
on the student’s acquisition of skill, knowledge or
value before and after a given learning experience. 5
EVALUATION – concern with making judgments
on the worth or value of a performance.
-HOW GOOD, ADEQUATE, or DESIRABLE
is it?

CHAPTER 1:
SHIFT OF EDUCATIONAL
FOCUS FROM CONTENT
TO LEARNING OUTCOMES
Reduced to the barest component, the
educative process happens between the teacher and
the student. Education originated from the terms,
“educare” or “educere” which mean “to draw out”
Ironically, however, for centuries we succeeded in
perpetuating the belief that education is “pouring
in” process wherein the teacher was infallible giver
of knowledge, and the student was the passive
recipient.
8
We were used to regarding education basically
in terms of designating a set of subjects to take
and when the course is completed we
pronounce the students “educate” assuming
that the instruction and activities we provided
will lead to the desired knowledge, skills and
other attributes that we think the course
passers would possess.
9
The advent of technology caused a changed of
perspective in education, nationally and
internationally. The teacher ceased to be the sole
source of knowledge. With knowledge explosion,
students are surrounded with various sources of facts
and information accessible through user-friendly
technology. The teacher has become a facilitator of
knowledge who assists in the organization,
interpretation and validation of acquired facts and
information.

1.1. Outcome-Based Education: Matching
Intentions with Accomplishment
The change in educational perspective called
Outcome-based Education (OBE) has three (3)
characteristics:
1. It is student-centered i.e, it places the students at
the center of the process by focusing on Student
Learning Outcomes (SLO).
11
2. It is faculty-driven i.e, it encourages faculty
responsibility for teaching, assessing program
outcomes and motivating participation from the
students.
16
3. Drafting outcomes assessment procedure.
This procedure will enable the teacher to determine
the degree to which the students are attaining the
desired learning outcomes. It identifies for every
outcome the data that will be gathered which will
guide the selection of the assessment tools to be
used and at what point assessment will be done.
17
1.2. The Outcomes of Education
Outcome-based education focuses classroom
instruction on the skills and competencies that students
must demonstrate when they exit. There are two (2)
types of outcome: immediate and deferred outcomes.
1) Institutional
2) Program
3) Course
4) Learning/instructional/lesson outcomes
21
Institutional outcomes are statements of what the
graduates of an educational institution are supposed to
be able to do beyond graduation. Program outcomes
are what graduates of particular educational programs
or degrees are able to do at the completion of the
degree or program. Course or subject outcomes are
what students should be able to demonstrate at the end
of a course or a subject. Learning or instructional
outcomes are what students should be able to do after
a lesson or instruction.
22
Institutional outcomes are broad. These
institutional outcomes become more specific in the
level of program or degree outcomes, much more
specific in the level of course or subject outcomes and
most specific in the level of learning or instructional
outcomes.
Program outcomes and learning outcomes are
discussed in detail in Chapter 3. Educational objectives
as given in 1.4 are formulated from the point of view
of the teacher. Learning outcomes are what students are
supposed to demonstrate after instruction. 23
