LEARNING ACTIVITY 1
Differentiate the 10 principles of high quality assessment by explaining the meaning of each and giving examples for
further clarification.
1. Validity: This principle refers to the accuracy of the assessment, which measures what it is supposed to
measure. An assessment that is not valid cannot accurately measure what it intends to measure. For
example, an English language proficiency test that only tests vocabulary and not grammar would not be a
valid measure of a student's overall language proficiency.
2. Reliability: This principle refers to the consistency of the assessment, which should produce consistent
results across different administrations. For example, if a student takes a math test and then takes the same
test a week later, the scores should be similar if the test is reliable.
3. Fairness: This principle refers to the impartiality of the assessment, which should not discriminate against
any student based on their background or characteristics. For example, a test that requires knowledge of
cultural references that only a particular group of students would know would not be a fair assessment.
4. Transparency: This principle refers to making the assessment process clear and understandable to students
and stakeholders. For example, teachers can explain the purpose of a test, the criteria for grading, and the
feedback given to students.
5. Authenticity: This principle refers to creating assessments that mirror real-world tasks and situations. For
example, a writing assessment that asks students to write an opinion piece on a current event or issue
would be more authentic than asking students to write a generic paragraph.
6. Formative: This principle refers to assessments that provide ongoing feedback to students to improve their
learning. For example, formative assessments can include quizzes, homework assignments, or group
discussions.
7. Summative: This principle refers to assessments that evaluate students' learning at the end of a unit or
course. For example, final exams or end-of-year projects are summative assessments.
8. Alignment: This principle refers to assessments that align with the learning objectives and curriculum. For
example, if the learning objective is to teach students about persuasive writing, the assessment should ask
students to write a persuasive essay.
9. Efficiency: This principle refers to creating assessments that are efficient to administer and grade. For
example, multiple-choice tests are an efficient way to assess knowledge of facts.
10. Accessibility: This principle refers to creating assessments that are accessible to all students, including
those with disabilities or language barriers. For example, providing accommodations such as extended time,
visual aids, or translation services can ensure
accessibility for all students.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the importance of authentic assessment in the teaching-learning process?
Authentic assessment allows teachers to evaluate students' abilities in a more comprehensive manner by assessing
their skills and knowledge in real-world contexts. This provides a more accurate measure of students' understanding
and abilities compared to traditional assessments that only measure memorization and recall. Authentic assessment
requires students to apply critical thinking and problem-solving skills to real-world scenarios. This helps students
develop higher-order thinking skills that are essential for success in today's society. Authentic assessments are often
more engaging for students as they involve tasks and activities that are relevant and meaningful to their lives. This
increases motivation and encourages students to take ownership of their learning. Authentic assessments can be
designed to allow for differentiation in instruction. Teachers can tailor assessments to meet the needs of individual
students and provide opportunities for them to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in different ways. Authentic
assessments provide valuable feedback to both teachers and students on areas where improvement is needed. This
allows for ongoing growth and development throughout the learning process. Overall, authentic assessment plays a
critical role in the teaching-learning process as it provides a more accurate measure of student learning, promotes
critical thinking and problem-solving skills, supports engagement and differentiation, and provides feedback for
improvement.
2. How will I apply authentic assessment when I become a teacher?
Authentic assessment is an approach to assessment that evaluates students' performance in a real-life context,
rather than using standardized tests or quizzes. As a teacher, you can apply authentic assessment in your classroom
by following these steps:
The first step in applying authentic assessment is to define the learning outcomes I want my students to achieve.
Identify the skills and knowledge that I want my students to acquire and make sure they are aligned with the
curriculum. Once I have defined the learning outcomes, select an authentic task that will allow my students to
demonstrate their knowledge and skills. An authentic task is a real-life task that is relevant and meaningful to the
students. Develop clear and specific assessment criteria that will be used to evaluate the students' performance on
the task. Make sure the criteria are aligned with the learning outcomes and the task. Provide opportunities for my
students to practice the skills and knowledge needed to complete the authentic task. This will help them build their
confidence and improve their performance. Provide feedback to your students throughout the process, both during
practice and after the task is completed. Feedback should be specific and focused on the assessment criteria.
Evaluate your students' performance using the assessment criteria. Provide grades or feedback that are based on
their performance and not on a curve. By following these steps, you can apply authentic assessment in your
classroom and provide your students with a meaningful learning experience that prepares them for real-life situations.
