Planning the Test
Pretest
I. Given in the matrix are some of the testing events you may have experienced. Reflect on
the possible purpose of the teacher in giving the test and identify whether it is formative
or summative in nature. Check the appropriate box for each item.
Testing Event Formativ Summative
e
1. A quiz was given after reading a short story in your ✔
English class.
2. Teacher gave a test to find out how familiar the class is ✔
with words they will meet in the story.
3. A periodical test is scheduled at the end of the month in ✔
all subjects.
4. Teacher determines how many have obtained 80% of the ✔
weekly test given in addition.
5. Teacher administered a year-end test in preparation for ✔
the student report cards.
6. An oral recitation was conducted to find out how well ✔
they have read the editorial.
7. Teacher samples the instructional objectives to be tested ✔
at the end of the quarter.
8. Students were asked to record their weekly scores in ✔
their math notebook.
9. Class were given a pretest before they start the unit on ✔
long division.
10. Fifty percent of the final test score determined the ✔
students’ grades.

II. Below is a list of some learning competencies in Science. Opposite each one, indicate the
cognitive level being focused on.

Learning Competency Cognitive Level

1. Identify common rock-forming minerals using their Comprehending
physical and chemical properties.
2. Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary, and Remembering
metamorphic.
3. Explain how the products of weathering are carried Applying
away by erosion and deposited elsewhere.
4. Illustrate the relationships among structures of flowers, Analyzing
fruits, and seeds.
5. Make a report on how rocks and soil move downslope Evaluating
due to the direct action of gravity.
6. Design a setup on propagating plants using other Creating
methods such as hydroponics and aeroponics.
Suggested Activities
I. Select a unit of study in Mathematics in any grade level (Grade7-12) of your choice. You can
make use of a chapter in a book being used by a target grade or level of learners. Study this
chapter well and identify the topic areas and the learning outcomes (competencies) intended to be
developed. Provide the learning target for each outcome. There may be more than one
competency for each topic or you may find the same outcome appearing in different topics. Use
the matrix that follows to indicate your response.
