3– Taxonomic Classification/Sequencing/Matching

ACTIVITY 1: TAXONOMIC CLASSIFICATION

Determine which domain and level of learning are targeted by the following learning competencies
taken from the Basic Education Curriculum guides. For your information, the term “competency” has
various meanings. Its descriptions range from that of a broad overarching attribute to that of a very
specific task (Kennedy, Hyland & Ryan, 2009). This activity is important because your choice of
assessment method is contingent on the learning domains and levels of the learning outcomes and
competencies.

Learning Competencies Domain Level

1. Identify parts of a microscope
and their functions.
2. Employ analytical listening to
make predictions.
3. Exhibit correct body posture.
4. Recognize the benefit of
patterns in special products and
factoring.
5. Infer that body structures help
animals adapt and survive in their
particular habitat.
6. Differentiate linear inequalities
in two variables from linear
equations in two variables.
7. Follow written and verbal
directions.
8. Perform jumping over a
stationary object several times in
succession, using forward-and-back
and side-to-side movement
patterns.
9. Compose musical pieces using a
particular style of the 20th century.
10. Describe movement skills in
response to sound.

ACTIVITY 3: MATCHING
Before you can match the appropriate assessment method to a learning outcome, you have to be
familiar with the types of assessment methods and activities. Match the descriptions in Column A with
the correct method in Column B. write the letter of the correct answer before the item number.

COLUMN A COLUMN B

extended response to an open- b. Essay
ended question. c. Observation
d. Oral Question
2. Teacher monitors students’
e. Performance Assessment
behavior in class as well as the
f. Selected-response
classroom climate.
g. Self-assessment
3. Student evaluates his/her
performance at a learning task in
relation to a learning outcome.

4. Student demonstrates his/her skills

based on authentic tasks.

5. Student chooses a response

provided by the teacher or test
developer.

6. Student gives a short answer by

completing a statement or labelling
a diagram.
