TRADITIONAL/

CLASSROOM
ASSESSMENT
 TRADITIONAL/CLASSROOM
ASSESSMENT
• Is an ongoing process through which teachers
and students interact to promote greater learning.

• The assessment process emphasizes data

collection of student performance to diagnose
learning problems, monitor progress, and give
feedback
for improvements.
Characteristics of Traditional/Classroom
Assessment
1. Learner-centered
2. Teacher-centered
3. Mutually Beneficial
4. Formative
5. Context Specific
6. Ongoing
7. Rooted in good Teaching Practice
 Qualities of Good Classroom
Assessment
• Reliability
• Standardization
• Validity
• Practicality
 Advantages of Classroom Assessment

• to evaluate the students have learned the

content.
• To determine whether or not the students are
successful in acquiring knowledge.
• To rank and compare them against standards to
other learners.
 Disadvantages of Classroom Assessment

• Additional classroom time may be needed to

review and clarify concepts.
• Requires active participation on the part of the
students.
CONVENTIONAL
TEST AND NON-TEST
 TEST
 A method of measuring a person’s ability,
knowledge, or performance in a given domain.
 Take place at identifiable times, under time
constraints.
 Uses prepared administrative procedures.
 Must be able to,measured and evaluated and
reported.
 TEST ASSESSMENT
• Written test
are tests that are administered on a
paper or on a computer.
 WRITTEN TEST
• MULTIPLE CHOICE
• TRUE/ FALSE
• MATCHING TYPE
• FILL IN THE BLANK
• ESSAY
MULTIPLE CHOICE

• used to measure knowledge outcomes and

other types of learning outcomes such as
comprehension and applications.
• More than two (2) options
• Each item consists of (a) the stem, and
(b) the options
• STEM – distracters
• OPTIONS – “correct” and “best”
• DISTRACTERS
– attractive to those who do not know the answer
or are guessing ;
- this feature allows the teacher to test HOTS even
if the options are clearly stated
 Example of Multiple-choice Items

1. Knowledge Level
• - The students are required only to recall.

• The most stable measures of central

tendency is the __________.
A.Mean
B.Mean and Median
C.Median
D.Mode
 • - the students are required to describe.

•Which of the following statements describe normal

distribution?
•A. The mean is greater than the median.
•B. The mean median and mode are equal.
• C. The scores are more concentrated at the other part of
the distribution.
•D. Most of the scores are high.
•3. Application Level
• - the students are asked to apply.
•What is the standard deviation of the following scores of 10
students in mathematics quiz, 10, 13, 16, 16, 17, 19, 20, 20, 25?
A. 3.90
B. 3.95
C. 4.50
D. 4.25
•4. Analysis Level
• - the students are required to distinguish.
•What is the statistical test used when you test the
mean difference between pre-test and post-test?
A.Analysis of variance
B.T-test
C.Correlation
D.Regressio n analysis
 Advantages of Multiple-choice Test

1. Measure learning outcomes from the knowledge to

evaluation level.
2. Scoring is highly objective, easy and reliable.
3. Scores are more reliable than subjective type of test.
4. Measures board samples of content within a short
span of time.
5. Distracters can provide diagnostic information.
6. Item analysis can reveal the difficulty of an item and
can discriminate the good and poor
performing students.
 Disadvantages of Multiple-choice Test

1. Time consuming to construct a good item.

2. Difficult to find effective and plausible distracters.
3. Scores can be influenced by the reading ability of the
examinees.
4. In some cases, there is more than one justifiable
correct answer.
5. Ineffective in assessing the problem solving skills of
the students.
6. Not applicable when assessing the students’ ability
to organize and express ideas.
 Fill in the blank

- Ask students to complete a statement or

respond to a question with a word, phrase,
sentence or number. Requires a very brief
response.
 TRUE OR FALSE
True/false questions can appear to be
easier to write; however, it is difficult to
write effective true/false questions. Also,
the reliability of T/F questions is not gene
rally very high because of the high
possibility of guessing.
• Statements should be completely true or
completely false
• Use simple, easy-to-follow statements
• Avoid using negatives –especially double
negatives
• Avoid absolutes such as “always, never.”
 Advantages of a True or False Test

1. It covers a lot of content in a short span of time.

2. It is easier to prepare compared to multiple- choice
and matching type test.
3. It is easier to score because it can be scored
objectively compared to a test that depends on the
judgement of the caters.
4. It is useful when there are two alternatives only.
5.The score is more reliable than essay test.
 Disadvantages of a True or False Test

1. Limited only to low level of thinking skills such

as knowledge and comprehension, or
recognition or recall information.

2. High probability of guessing the correct answer

(50%) compared to multiple-choice which
consist of four options (25%).
 MATCHING TYPE
• Modified multiple choice type
• Has two (2) columns
• Description and options
 Advantage of Matching Type Test

1. It is simpler to construct than a multiple-choice type

of test.
2. It reduces the effect of guessing compared to the
multiple-choice and true or false type of test.
3. It is appropriate to assess the association between
facts.
4. Provides easy, accurate, efficient, objective and
reliable test scores.
5. More content can be covered in the given set of test.
 NON-TEST ASSESSMENT
• Is an ongoing process
• Gives feedback to help students increase
competence.
- informal: ex: impromptu feedback
- formal: ex: review of journal writing or
students portfolio.
 Non-Test Assessment

• Portfolios

• Teacher observation
• States or hand signals
• Journal
• Games
• Debates
• Checklist
• Cartooning
 Non-Test Assessment
