METHODS OF

COLLECTING DATA
LO: Give examples of the two methods of collecting assessment data
Objectives:
• Explain the two general methods of collecting assessment data
• Give examples of the two methods of collecting assessment data
TWO METHODS:

1. Paper and Pencil or Traditional method

Examples:
a. Simple recall or direct question form
b. Filling the blank
c. True or false or alternative response type of test
d. Matching type
e. Multiple choice
• Examples of Paper and Pencil or Traditional Method:
• Teacher Johnny would like to determine whether his students could match the products
with the different provinces, so he gave a matching type test.
• Ms. Jam asked her students if they could enumerate the steps in solving worded
problems.
• Our teacher ask the class to supply the missing term in the sentence.
• The DepEd Regional Office administered the diagnostic test to all first-year high school
students to be able to know where teachers should start, and the test can be done in
one-hour since they will just select the most appropriate response from the given
choices
• Mr. Faminial gave 5 statements, and the students would evaluate whether it tells the truth
or not.
2. Observational Techniques or Performance-based Assessment
Classifications:
a. Product-oriented performance-based assessment – have always
outputs as evidences of learning.
b. Process-oriented performance-based – learning or skills developed
are only demonstrated through a process an output or product.
• There will be three (3) raters in the performance-based
assessment.
• Teacher
• Peers
• Self
• Examples of Observational Techniques:
• The teacher wanted her students to demonstrate the varied steps in
folk dancing, so she required them to perform the task.
• Students were required to demonstrate the skills developed in
painting.
• His class conducted a debate on the given argument.
SOURCES OF EVALUATION INFORMATION

1. Cumulative Records
• contains information about a student during the previous years
(health information, academic performance, data about the family,
nutritional status and other important or vital statistics)
• Must be submitted to the principal at the end of the school year
2. Personal Contact
• Most reliable source of information for teachers to make decisions
about the child
• Daily interactions with learners would give an accurate information
• Teachers can still observe students even during recess time and make an
anecdotal record of observations
3. Analysis
• Based on observation of the teacher, he/she can make an analysis for
him/her to come up with accurate decision.
4. Open-ended themes or diaries
• Help teacher establish an information about each learner especially
their habits and attitudes at home.
Examples:
• What things do you do early in the morning?
• What do you want to become when you grow up?
• Are your parents proud of your accomplishments? Why?
• Do you have a regular duties and responsibilities at home?
5. Conferences with parents and fellow teachers
6. Conducting a test
• Learning ability oftentimes measured using written test
• Through testing, teachers can measure the students’ cognitive
achievement, as their attitudes, values, feelings, and motor skills
• Now, performance-based is the latest trend
7. Conducting interviews from reliable persons
• Note: interviewee might be subjective in answering
questions and need to be validated witg other sources.
