ENGAGE
Welcome students! In the previous module, you were able to formulate and write
learning outcomes/objectives on your own field of specialization considering the three types of
learning, namely: Cognitive/Knowledge, Psychomotor/Skills, and Affective/Attitude. These
learning outcomes are essential in the teaching-learning process because they set the goal of
the teacher on a particular teaching setting. But in assessment, these learning outcomes set the
assessment tools to be used by the teacher before, during and after the discussion of the
lesson.
It is imperative that the learning outcomes must be aligned with the assessment tools to
be used and to the kind of activities that the teacher will use in his/her instruction.
In this module, you will be dealing with the different principles in assessing learning
outcomes, phases of outcome assessment, and the alignment of learning outcomes and
assessment tasks. You will also learn various assessment methods, tools and tasks including
portfolios. Due to the demand of authentic assessment, you will also learn how to construct
scoring rubrics, both analytic and holistic. You will also try to give different assessment tasks
intended for the different intelligences that the students have, and lastly, you will be explaining
key features of assessment in the K to 12 Program of the Department of Education. Remember
this that in order to come up with excellent assessment tasks, you always need to consider the
type of learners you have. Keep pushing on!

EXPLAIN
INTRODUCTION
1. The assessment of student learning starts with the institution's vision, mission and core
values. There should be a clear statement on the kinds of learning that the institution
values most for its students.
2. Assessment works best when the program has clear statement of objectives aligned with
the institutional vision, mission and core values. Such alignment ensures clear, shared
and implementable objectives.
3. Outcome - based assessment focuses on the student activities that will still be relevant
after formal schooling concludes. The approach is to design assessment activities which
are observable and less abstract such as "to determine the student's ability to write a
paragraph” which is more observable than "to determine the student's verbal ability."
4. Assessment requires attention not only to outcomes but also and equally to the activities
and experiences that lead to the attainment of learning outcomes. These are supporting
student activities.
5. Assessment works best when it is continuous, ongoing and not episodic. Assessment
should be cumulative because improvement is best achieved through a linked series of
activities done over time in an instructional cycle.
6. Begin assessment by specifying clearly and exactly what you want to assess. What you
want to assess is/are stated in your learning outcomes/lesson objectives.
7. The intended learning outcome/lesson objective NOT CONTENT is the basis of the
assessment task. You use content in the development of the assessment tool and task
but it is the attainment of your learning outcome NOT content that you want to assess.
This is outcome-based teaching and learning.
9. Make use of varied tools for assessment data-gathering and multiple sources of
assessment data. It is not pedagogically sound to rely on just one source of data
gathered by only one assessment tool. Consider multiple intelligences and learning

styles. DepED Order No. 73, s. 2012 cites the use of multiple measures as one
assessment guideline.
10. Learners must be given feedback about their performance. Feedback must be specific.
"Good work!” is positive feedback and is welcome but actually is not a very good
feedback since it is not specific. A more specific better feedback is “You observed rules
on subject-verb agreement and variety or sentences. Three of your commas were
misplaced.”
Student Learning Outcome #1: Students can organize information from secondary sources
as basis of a research topic.
Student Learning Outcome #2: Students apply principles of logical thinking and persuasive
argument in writing
Student Learning Outcome #3: Students write multiple-page essays complying with
standard format and style

Below is another diagram that illustrates the principle of constructive alignment in the
assessment process. Study it well. What is the main message of Figure 8?
You have been victims of teachers who taught you one thing but assessed you on
another. The result? Much confusion and disappointment. If you have been victims of lack of
constructive alignment, then break the cycle by not victimizing your students, too. Observe the
principle of constructive alignment. Make sure your assessment tasks are aligned with your
learning outcomes.

A Mental Exercise
In this mental exercise, determine whether or not the assessment task is aligned with the
learning outcome. If the assessment task is not aligned with the learning outcome, improve it to
align with the learning outcome. Just answer 3.
Marzano, 2012) and learning proven product and by a performance cannot be measured by a
paper-and-pencil test.
Assessment tools for the cognitive domain (declarative knowledge) are the different
paper-and-pencil tests. Basic examples of paper-and-pencil tests are shown in Figure 9.
Examples of selected response type of tests are alternate response (True or False, Yes
or No, 4 or 6); matching type and the multiple choice type.
Examples of constructed type of tests are the completion type (Fill-in-the-blanks), short
answer, the essay test and problem solving. These will be discussed in greater detail in Chapter
5.
Examples of authentic assessment tools are the demonstrations of what have been
learned by either a product or i performance. (Refer to Figure 10)

Note: The performance task is usually stated in a paragraph form. Therefore, the
GRASPS form is only intended for the outline and can be disarranged in the paragraph.
4.6. Portfolio
Portfolio falls under non-paper-and pencil test. A portfolio is a purposeful collection of
student work or documented performance (e.g. video of dance) that tells the story of student
achievement or growth. The word purposeful implies that a portfolio is not a collection of all
students’ work. It is not just a receptacle for all students’ work. The student's work that is
collected depends on the type and purpose of a portfolio you want to have. It can be a collection
of products or recorded performances or photos of performances.

Rubrics have two major parts: coherent sets of criteria and descriptions of levels of
performance tor these criteria. (Brookhart, 2013). How to create and use rubrics? ). There are
two types 1) analytic and 2) holistic. In an analytic rubric, each criterion (dimension, trait) is
evaluated separately. In a holistic rubric, all criteria (dimensions, traits) are evaluated

Here are assessment practices lifted from DepEd Order 8, S. 2015 for the guidance of
all teachers:
1. Teachers should employ assessment methods that are consistent with standards. This
means that assessment as a process must be based on standards and competencies
that are stated in the K to 12 Curriculum Guide. Assessment must be based NOT on

3. Grades are a function of written work, performance tasks and quarterly test. This means
that grades come from multiple sources with emphasis on performance tasks from
Grades 1 to 12. Grade does not come from only one source rather from multiple
sources.
4. The cognitive process dimensions given by Krathwohl and Anderson (2001) – from
remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating governs

Directions: On your field of specialization and using the topic used in Activity 4, formulate a
performance task using GRASPS for the outline and should be written in
paragraph form afterwards, rubrics should also be provided. Typewritten
(Arial,12) on a short bond paper. The margin must be: 1.5 inch (left) and 1 inch (top,
bottom and right). (See more examples below)

Closure:
In this module, you were able to learn some of the most common principles of
assessment, the importance of alignment in SLO, LA and AT, the various methods, tools and
tasks including portfolio and performance tasks, the different scoring rubrics and sample
activities intended for each MI. These particular concepts are really essential especially in
constructing the Lesson plan using Backward Design/Understanding by Design (UbD). The UbD
has 3 different components namely; Desired Results where the Learning outcomes are
established, Assessment Evidence where the different assessment tools are identified and the
Learning Plan where the learning activities are highlighted. Use your learning in this module in
unfolding and exploring deeper concepts and applications in assessment.
