ASSESSMENT

 Assessment
• The term assessment is derived from the Latin “assidere” which
means “to sit beside”. (Wiggins, 1993)
• Assessment is the process of gathering evidence of students’
performance over a period of time to determine learning and
mastery of skills.
• Assessment requires review of journal entries, written work,
presentation, research papers, essays, story written, test
results, etc.
 Assessment
• The overall goal of assessment is to improve student learning
and provide students, parents and teachers with reliable
information regarding student progress and extent of
attainment of the expected learning outcomes.
• Assessment results show the more permanent learning and
clearer picture of the student’s.
Types of Assessment
 Diagnostic Assessment
• A diagnostic assessment is a form of pre-assessment where
teachers can evaluate students’ strengths, weaknesses,
knowledge and skills before their instruction.
• With this form of assessment, teachers can plan meaningful
and efficient instruction and can provide students with an
individualized learning experience.
 Formative Assessment
• Formative assessment is the monitoring that occurs throughout
the process of learning.
• It provides feedback and information during the instructional
process, while learning is taking place, and while learning is
occurring.
 Formative Assessment
• The goal of formative assessment is to monitor student
learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used by
instructors to improve their teaching and by students to
improve their learning.
 Summative Assessment

• Summative assessment takes

place after the learning has
been completed and provides
information and feedback that
sums up the teaching and
learning process.
 Summative Assessment

• The goal of summative

assessment is to evaluate
student learning at the end of
an instructional unit by
comparing it against some
standard or benchmark.

 Evaluation
• Evaluation originates from the
root word “value” thus it means
to give value to something.
• Evaluation is a process designed
to provide information that will
help us to make a judgment
about a particular situation.
Types of Evaluation
 Formative Evaluation
• A formative evaluation is a method for judging the worth of a
program while the program activities are in progress. 
• The results of formative evaluation give information to the
proponents, learners and teachers on how well the objectives
of the program are being attained while the program is in
progress.
• This part of the evaluation focuses on the process.
 Summative Evaluation
• A summative evaluation is a method of judging the worth of
a program at the end of the program activities .
• The focus is on the result.
• Summative evaluation is designed to determine the
effectiveness of a program or activity based on its avowed
purposes.

Approaches to
Assessment
Assessment FOR
Learning
 Assessment FOR Learning
(FORmative Assessment)
• Assessment that is given while the teacher is in the process of
student information (learning).
• This includes the pretest and the posttest that a teacher gives
to ensure learning.
 Assessment FOR Learning
(FORmative Assessment)
• In summary, assessment FOR learning means teachers using
student’s knowledge, understanding and skills to inform their
teaching.
• It occurs throughout the teaching and learning process to
clarify and ensure student learning and understanding.
Assessment OF
Learning
 Assessment OF Learning
(Summative Assessment)
• Assessment of learning is usually given after the end of a unit,
grading period or a term like semester.
• The effectiveness of summative assessment depends on the
validity and reliability of the assessment activity and tools.
Assessment AS
Learning
 Assessment AS Learning

• Assessment as learning is
associated with self assessment.
• As the term implies, assessment
by itself is already a form of
learning for the students.
 Assessment AS Learning

• In assessment as learning,
students set their targets,
actively monitor and evaluate
their own learning in relation to
their set target.
