III. Background Knowledge: According to what we read in this book, assessment is a process
of gathering data for the purpose of making decisions. Assessment is also an approach to
teaching and learning that creates feedback which used to improve students’ performance.
There are different types of assessment in learning, which help the teacher to understand
student progress in various ways. Since assessment is to measure a learner’s knowledge,
understanding, and skills, and standard of learning we can know how effectively it helps a
learners’ progress.

D. Lesson Proper

Teachers Activity Students Activity

“Now, let me ask you, class. When u heard the word

“Assessment?” what comes in to your mind? Anyone?”

(Teacher will pick 1 student) (Student answered)

“Okay, well done. Thank you for answering. So fasten

your seatbelt as I will discuss the first lesson. Ready?”

“The word assessment, is rooted in the latin word

“assidere” which means “to sit beside another”. It is
generally defined as the process of gathering
quantitative and/or qualitative data for the purpose of
making decisions.

Meaning, assessment is like gathering information (or

data) to help us make decisions. It is just a fancy word
for collecting information that help us decide things, like
what game to play, which job candidate to hire, or how (Students are listening)
well students are learning in school. It ca be numbers or
it can be descriptions, depending on what you’re trying
to figure out.

Assessment of learning can be characterized as: A

process, based on specific objectives, and from
multiple choices. It is characterized as a process
because, it is like step-by-step procedure. It’s not a one-
time thing, it happens over time. It is based on specific
objectives because, it’s like checking wether you
achieved that goal. It’s about measuring your progress
against clear targets or objectives. It is from multiple (Students are listening)
sources because it involves gathering information from
different places or sources. In simple terms, assessment
of learning is like a step-by-step process that checks if
you’ve met specific goals by collecting information
from different places. It’s a way to see how well you’re
doing in school or in any activity where you have
specific objectives to reach.

How is assessment in learning similar or different from

the concept of measurement or evaluation of learning?
Measurement can be defined a the process of
quantifying the attributes of an object.
It is part of assessment. It’s like using a ruler or scale to
get precise number. Example in school, this is often
done with test and quizzes where you get a score or
grade, which is a specific measurement of your
performance. Evaluation is process of making value
judgements on the information collected from
measurement based on specified criteria. It’s making
judgement about how well you’ve learned something.
Not only the scores you got but also other factors like
effort, participation, and the quality of your work.
They’re related but severe slightly different purposes.

Assessment and Testing is the most common form of (Students are listening)
assessment. It’s a formal check of what you know. One
of the tools we use for assessment to collect information
on student learning over specific period of time.
Assessment and Grading process of assigning value to
the performance or achievement of a learner based on
specified criteria or standards. It’s giving a score or
grade to the work you’ve done, can be considered as a
way to summarize how well you’ve performed in class
or specific task.

“Now, let’s proceed to The Different Measurement

Framework Used in Assessment. These are: Classical
Test Theory (CTT) and Item Response Theory (IRT). (Students are listening)
Classical Test Theory is also known as the true score
theory which explains that variations in the performance
of examinees on a given measure is due to variations in
their abilities. Like example of Classical Test Theory
(CTT), if a students completes a numerical reasoning
test, and score is 16/20, their “observed” score is 16.

CTT provides an estimation of the following:

Item Difficulty and Item Discrimination. Item
Difficulty is based on the frequency or number of
examinees who correctly answers a particular item.
Item Discrimination is based on the number of
examinees with higher or lower ability to answers a
particular item. Item Response Theory (IRT)
analyzes test items by estimating the probability
that an examine answers an item correctly or (Students are listening)
incorrectly.”

“Now let’s move on to the Different Types of

Assessment in Learning. There are Six (6) ypes of
Assessment in Learning. These are: Formative
assessment, Summative assessment, Diagnostic
assessment, Placement assessment, Traditional
assessment, and Authentic assessment.

Okay, Formative assessment refers to assessment

activities that provide information to both teacher
(Students are listening)
and learners on how they can improve the teaching
learning process. Example of this are: quizzes do
homework, and participating in class. This is like
checking your progress while you’re learning
something new. It helps the student and teacher if
how they’re doing in the middle of a lesson or a
unit. It helps teachers make sure students are on the
right path, and if they’are not, it guides the teacher
on how to get them back on track. It’s either the
teacher will re-teach the lesson, try new strategies,
or adjust teaching as needed.
(Students are listening)
 Summative Assessments are assessment activities
that aim to determine learner’s mastering of content
or attainment of learning outcomes. This explains
that this type of assessment are designed to measure
the students understanding of the course material or
their achievement of specific learning goals.
Summative Assessments are like a final test or
projects in school. Teachers use them to see how
well students did, but they also help teachers figure
out if their teaching methods are working. Students
also get feeback on what they did well and where
they need to improve for future.

Diagnostic Assessment aims to detect the learning

problems or difficulties of the learners so that
corrective measure or intervention are done to
ensure learning. This method is usually used by
teachers or educators to identify any difficulties or
challenges students might be facing in their studies.
It’s like a way to diagnose and understand what’s
going on with the students learning. They do this to
provide the right support/solutions to help the (Students are listening)
students learn effectively. They use it when they
notice students struggling in class or at the start of
the school year to mak sure that every students has
what they need to learn well.

Placement Assessment is usually done at the

beginning of the school year to determine what the
learners already know or what are their needs that
could inform design of instruction. Example of this
is entrance examination. So, this is a test given at
the start of the school year to see what students
already understand and what they need to learn.
Once the test is done, students are grouped together
based on their results. In this way, teachers can
teach them in a way that helps everyone learn best,
either by focusing on what the students need to
improve or build up on what they already know. (Students are listening)

Traditional Assessment refers to the use of

conventional strategies or tools to provide
information about the learning of students. It means
using standard methods to understand how well
students are learning. This is traditional in the sense
that they have a history of being the standard ways
to evaluate students’ knowedge and skills. These
assessment are common in the classrooms because
they’re simple to create and grade quickly. In spite
of that, some people think traditional assessments
aren’t very authentic or true to real-life skills.
Because they often focus on memorization, lack
creativity, and don’t measure the practical abilities
like teamwork .

Authentic Assessment refers to the use of

assessment strategies or tools that allow learners to
perform or create a product that are meaningful to
the learners, as they are based on the real world
context.
 Now, let’s move on to the Different Principles in
Assessing Learning. There are many principles in
the assessment in learning. Based on the different
readings and references on these principles, the
following may be considered as core principles:
(1) Assessment should have a clear purpose. if
your gathering information or data make sure its
clear and informative. (2) Assessment is not an
end in itself. Assessment refers to enhancement of
learning skills that will allow improvement of the
student. (3) Assessment is an ongoing, continous,
and a formative process. It means that you should
not focus on certain activity it should be a series
task. (4) Assessment is learner-centered. This
method is use to measure the effectiveness of
lessontoward the learners. (5) Assessment is both
process and product-oriented. (6) Assessment
must be comprehensive and holistic. Assessment
should be perform using a variety of strategies and
tools designed to assess student learning in a
holistic way. (7) Assessment requires the use of
appropriate measures. Ind order for you to
measure the learning of the student, you create an
appropriate assessment. (8) Assessment should be
as authentic as possible. Be authentic reliable
experience.
