Assessment Scenarios

Instruction: Determine the role of assessment in the given scenarios. Was assessment used for
placement, formative, diagnostic or summative purposes? How was the information used?
Explain your answer.

1. A group of Science teachers analyzed the results of the national achievement test
given to Grade 6 pupils. Most of their students obtained low scores in science. They
learned further that their students had difficulty with items about physical and chemical
changes, forms and uses of energy, and motion. They thought of a professional
development project that focuses on introducing pedagogical innovations particularly in
teaching the said topics. After two years, they saw a marked improvement in the
performance of their students in the national test, particularly on Science items about
forms of matter, energy and motion.
DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT

Base on what capabilities of the students on what they or what they didn’t know, By
that the teacher will recognize that how come will a student will know the lessons if
they didn’t know it yet. After that they will produce a project that focuses on the
beneficial to there students. After a year end they will succeed on there goals for their
students.

2. For the entire session, a Social Studies teacher emphasized the importance of human
rights in nation building. Towards the end of the period, he handed each student a piece
of paper and posed a question: “What happens if human rights violations go
unchecked?” the teacher made use of the “exit ticket” strategy to see what students
have learned at the end of the lesson. The students wrote their answers to the question
and submitted to the teacher at the end of the period upon leaving. After reading his
students’ responses, he starts planning for the next session.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

According to the statement above, from the word it self, end of the period. Summative
assessment is end and the of the lesson. This kind of test have a final evaluation and a concept
of knowledge.

3. Ms. Jimenez suspected that one of her pupils has limited reading skills. To help the
learner, she needs to identify the specific areas with which the child struggles. Is the
child impaired in one or more of the following components: phonemic awareness,
phonic, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension? To answer her questions, she gave the
learner an assessment. Upon ascertaining that the child has difficulty in phonics, the
teacher thought of using an analogic approach to teach phonics.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT
In the scenario of Ms. Jimenez she had a student that has limited reading skill. Formative
assessment is the best way to that student to receive more feedbacks that may help him grow
and adjust those things he/she can do and by that it may help the students to get a good
progress.
4. Every month, teachers in private high school give an interim Math test to check on
students’ progress. Any student who obtains a score below the cut score of 75 is invited
to attend a special class for additional instruction. However, if the student obtains a ‘fail’
score in two or more occasion, the student is enjoined to attend the special class.

PLACEMENT ASSESSMENT
Because as you can see in the scenario the student get a low grade so by placement
assessment it can be place by one test.
