The document summarizes the effectiveness of authentic performance tasks for the 2022-2023 school year. It discusses how performance tasks can engage and motivate students by applying essential knowledge to real-world tasks. The manual provides guidelines for crafting performance tasks and sample science tasks with rubrics to help teachers design assessments that recognize diverse learners as required by DepEd policy. Science teachers found the authentic performance tasks helpful for choosing assessments aligned with the K-12 curriculum that cater to different abilities and learning styles.

One of the difficulties teachers encountered in the learning process is
sustaining students’ interest and the subject matter and promoting a positive attitude. Educators must plan activities that motivate and engage students in meaningful, real-world tasks that demonstrate the application of essential knowledge and skills. Students see the importance of what they are studying and appreciate them when they develop a clear understanding of the lessons as revealed when they autonomously make sense of and transfer their learning through Authentic Performance Task. It is for this reason that the proponent crafted a Manual that presents guidelines on how educators will craft their own performance task. It also includes sample Authentic Performance Tasks in Science classes with attached rubrics. As stated in Deped Order No. 8 series of 2015- Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program, teacher should employ varied and appropriate assessment, and recognizes the diverse learners inside the classroom, so there is a need for multiple ways of measuring their varying abilities and learning potentials. Furthermore, it also highlighted that teachers should employ classroom assessment methods that are consistent with curriculum standards. In addition, the said Deped Order also emphasizes that assessment in the classroom should aimed at helping students perform well in relation to the learning standards. One of the main features of these assessments is the use of Performance Tasks that is anchored on the performance standard of the K to 12 curriculums. This performance task should allow the learners to show what they know and are able to do in diverse ways. Students must create or innovate products or do-performance based tasks. It is important to note that this performance task should involve students in the learning process individually or in collaboration with teammates over a period.
Based on the science teachers, the authentic performance task booklet is of
great help to them in choosing the right performance task with the varied types of learners they have inside the classroom. The manual gave them an idea on what performance task should be given to the students since the manual is designed based on the K to 12 curriculums. Also, the presented performance task has different activities that cater to different learners depending on their abilities and learning styles.
