observe at two (2) class. Pay close attention to what the Resource Teacher does in relation to assessment. You
must examine the content validity of test, quiz given by at least three Resource Teachers, see the connection
between Table of Specifications and test validity and construct test with content validity.
Be guided by the following:
1. Review “Development of Assessment Tools” in Assessment of Learning 1, 2007 by Santos Rosita, pp.
36-53 and Assessment of Learning 2, pp. 14-22 and refer to other references on Assessment of
Learning.
2. Interview Resource Teachers on steps they take to ensure content validity of their tests.
3. Secure copies of a written quiz/test and a lesson plan from the Resource Teacher upon which the
quiz/test is based and a copy of a Table of Specifications.
4. Answer given questions for analysis.
5. For purposes of reliability, electronic outputs should be encoded using Century Gothic and font size is
12. Handwritten outputs should be rendered in print not in script.
My Analysis
6. What has a Table of Specifications (TOS) to do with the content validity of test?
The table of specifications ensures that the questions that appear in the test is fair and it covers what it
should be covered.
7. If validity as a characteristic of test means that a test must measure what it is supposed to measure, is a
multiple-choice type of test valid to determine learning of manipulative skill like focusing a
microscope? Explain.
For me I think yes because the teacher can determine that the student is capable of doing the HO (HANDS
ON) of a microscope through assessing his cognitive outcome, with the use of multiple choice tests.
8. Do we have other types of validity of a test other than content validity? Research for an answer.
1. Face Validity: Face Validity to the extent the test appears to measure what is to
be measured.
2. Content Validity: Content Validity a process of matching the test items with the
instructional objectives.
3. Predictive Validity: Predictive Validity the extent to which test predicts the future
performance of students.
4. Concurrent Validity: Concurrent Validity correlating the test scores with another
set of criterion scores.
5. Construct Validity: Construct Validity the extent is which the test may be said to
measure a theoretical construct or psychological variable.
6. Factorial Validity: Factorial Validity the extent of correlation of the different
factors with the whole test.
e. Project Based Assessment A project based assessment is something that a learner may
apply the theories through hands on projects.
f. Portfolio Assessment This is a compilation of the things you have done that during
the process you have learned something.
g. Authentic Assessment An assessment where students were able to apply skills learned
in a new situation.
a. Face Validity Must ensure that questions must be consistent to what you want
to know.
