This episode introduces assessment FOR learning, assessment AS learning and assessment
OF learning.
Prepositions for, as and of mean a lot. They make a big difference in assessment. Assessment
FOR learning, assessment AS learning and assessment OF leaning have different purposes. You
learned them in your subjects on Assessment. In this episode, you will observe how they are
applied in the teaching-learning process.
My performance criteria
My learning essentials
The preposition “for” in assessment FOR learning implies that assessment is done to
improve and ensure learning. This is referred to as FORmative assessment, assessment is
given while the teacher is in the process of student formation (learning). It ensures that
learning is going on while teacher is in the process of teaching.
Teacher does not lose anything if as she/he teaches he/she checks for understanding now
and then. This is to ensure that before he/she proceeds further or comes near the end of te
chapter, unit or course or grading period, the students understood the lesson.
It will be tragic and a waste of time if teacher just proceeds with his/her teaching presuming
that students understood the lesson only to discover at the end of the unit or grading period
that students after all did not understand the lesson. So much time has already been wasted.
Besides, lack of understanding of the lesson must have been compounded because the
“ABCs” of the lesson weren’t mastered and the teacher already proceeded to “XYZ”. Too late
to discover that at the end of a unit or a grading period the students did not learn what was
expected of them.
Formative assessment also includes the pretest and the posttest that a teacher gives to
ensure learning.
Why the pretest? It is to find out where the students are or determine their entry knowledge or
skills so teacher knows how to adjust instruction.
Why the posttest? It is to find out if the intended learning outcome has been attained after
the teaching-learning process. If not all students have attained it, the teacher have to apply
intervention or a remediation. Why do these have to take place? To ensure learning, thus the
term assessment FOR learning.
In Assessment FOR Learning, teachers use assessment results to inform or adjust their
teaching.
Assessment OF Learning is usually given at the end of a unit, grading period or term like a
semester it is meant to assess learning for grading purposes, thus the term Assessment OF
Learning.
As students assess their own work (e.g. a paragraph) and/or with their peers with the use of
scoring rubric, they learn on their own what a good paragraph is. At the same time, as they are
engaged in self-assessment, they learn about themselves as learners (e.g. paragraph writers)
and become aware of how they learn. In short in assessment AS learning, student set their
targets, actively monitor and evaluate their own learning in relation to their set target. As a
consequence, they become self-directed or independent learners.

OBSERVATION SHEET # 1:1
1. Did you observe assessment practices for the three (3) forms of assessment? Explain
your answer.
2. What can you do to eliminate students’ fear of assessment? Can frequent formative
assessment (Formative assessment) reduce if not eliminate fear of assessment?
3. Do you like the idea and practice of self-assessment (assessment AS learning)? Why or
why not?
Integrating Theory and Practice
1. Teacher Emma gave a True-False pretest on social justice. Based on the pretest results,
she taught her class social justice by correcting whatever wrong concepts the students
have affirmed and expounded on their correct concepts. After correcting their wrong
concepts and affirming their correct answers, Teacher Emma gave the class a posttest.
Among the forms of assessment explained, which one/s did Teacher Emma do?
2. The class was taught how to conduct an action research and was required an end-of-
the-term written research report. The class was taught how to do the research report and
was shown an Analytic Scoring Rubric for them to know how they will be graded. The
class took the Scoring Rubric guide in the making of their research report. They were all
motivated to pass an excellent research report and as a grouped checked now and then if
they were true to the qualities of an excellent research report as seen in the scoring rubric.
What form of assessment is described?
3. Teacher Julie sees to it that she checks for understanding as she teaches to ensure that
every student can follow the lesson. With that form/s of assessment is Teacher Julie
occupied with?
4. Teacher Grace is done with unit 1. She wants to know how well her students could
demonstrate the knowledge and skills targeted at the beginning of the Unit. Into what
form of Assessment is Teacher Grace?

GUIDING
episode G in the
Assessment
of
Learning
For the assessment process to accomplish its purposes, i.e.., to ensure learning, we must be
guided by basic assessment principles. This episode focused on basic guiding principles of
assessment.
My Performance Criteria
The following are the principles that should guide you in the conduct of assessment.
1.Begin by specifying clearly and exactly what do you want to assess. What you want to asses
is/are stated in your learning outcomes/lesson objectives.
2.The intended learning outcome/lesson objective NOT CONTENT is the basis of the
assessment task. You use content in the development of the assessment tool and task but it is
the attainment of your learning outcome NOT content that you want to assess. This is
Outcome-based Teaching and Learning.
3.Set your criterion of success or acceptable standard of success. It is against this established
standard that you will interpret your assessment results.
Example: is a score 7 out of 10 (the highest possible score) acceptable or considered success?
4.Make use of varied tools for assessment data-gathering and multiple source of assessment
data. It is not pedagogically sound to rely on just one source of data gathered by only one
assessment tool. Consider multiple intelligences and learning styles. DepEd Order No, s. 2015
cites the use of multiple ways of measuring students’ varying abilities and learning potentials.
5.Learners must be given feedback about their performance. Feedback must be specific.
“Good work”! is positive feedback and is welcome but actually is not a very good feedback
since it is not specific. A more specific better feedback is “You observed rules on subject-verb
agreement and variety of sentences. Three of your commas were misplaced.”
6.Assessment should be on real-world application and not on out of four context drills.
1. Make use of varied tools for assessment Which assessment tools did Resource Teacher

specific feedback?
a. Yes.
b. No.
c. Very much, the feedback is clear enough.
d. No, it is exaggerated.
7. Teacher Annie explains to her class: “Each of you is expected to spell 10 words
out of ten words correctly. This is a mastery test”. Is Teacher Annie’s behavior in
keeping with the principle to set acceptable standards of success?
8. Teacher Jocelyn considers the multiple-choice type of test the best among the
written type of test, so for assessment of learning she uses only multiple choice
type of test. It this in accordance with the principle of assessment?
9. A professor does not give quiz at all. The students’ grades are based only on the
summative assessment results. Does he violate an assessment principle?

Assessment METHODS,
TOOLS AND
TASKS
There are different assessment methods, assessment tools and assessment tasks to assess
several domains of learning-cognitive, affective and psychomotor.
No single assessment method/tool/task can assess all forms of learning. With Gardner’s
learner’s multiple intelligences, learning when assessed can be demonstrated in nine (9) different
ways and therefore can be assessed in nine (9) different ways, too. Teacher, therefore, should
make use of varied assessment tools and tasks. In fact, one principle of assessment is to make use
of varied methods and tools.
In this Episode, you will see which methods, tools and tasks are used for learners with varied
multiple intelligences and in different domains of learning.

My Learning Essentials
The paper-pencil test, however, it is inadequate to measure all forms and learning.
Psychomotor learning (Kendall and Marzano, 2012) or procedural knowledge (Kendall
and Marzano, 2012) cannot be measured by a paper-pencil test.
Assessment tools for the cognitive domain (declarative knowledge) are the different
paper-pencil tests. Basic examples of paper-pencil test are shown in figure 2.

We make use of varied methods because there are many forms of learning-cognitive,
affective and psychomotor (Bloom). For Kendall and Marzano there are also three (3) –
information (declarative knowledge), procedures (physical/motor/manipulative skills.

Taxonomy
Learners have multiple intelligences and varied learning styles. Students must be
given the opportunity to demonstrate learning that is aligned to their multiple
intelligences and to their learning styles. It is good for teachers to consider the multiple
intelligences of learners to enable learners to demonstrate learning in a manner which
makes them feel comfortable and successful.

LEVELS
In the previous Episode you met Learning in different domains. In this Episode you will deal
with the different levels which these three domains are processed, taught, learned. You will also
observe and reflect on how your Resource Teacher assess learning in theses domains in different
in levels. Theirs is the challenge to formulate appropriate exercise questions and tasks are
aligned to the level of the learning outcomes.
My Performance Criteria
My Learning Essentials
The outcomes of the K to 12 Curriculum are spelled out in terms of standards and
competencies.
The content standards state what the learners should and be able to do after the teaching-
learning process. The performance standards are what the learners are able to do with what
they know.
DepEd Order No. 8 s, 2015 states;
These standards are made more specific in the competencies. Competencies are the
specific knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that learners are supposed to demonstrate
after a teaching-learning process
The K to 12 Curriculum is said to prepare the learner for the 21st century. The K to 12
learners is expected to acquire the 21st Century skills – life and career skills. Learning and
innovation skills. Learning and innovation skills include critical thinking, communication
skills, collaboration skills, and creativity.
To prepare the learner for the 21st century, then the teaching and learning process in the
K to 12 curriculum ought to go beyond simple recall and comprehension. It should reach the
level of applying, analyzing, evaluating and synthesizing which are basic to development of
21st Century skills.
