EXPLAIN (Assess)
ASSESSMENT

-is a multidisciplinary process used for decision-

making in education, encompassing cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor areas. It is effective
when anchored on learners‘ everyday tasks and
encompasses all developmental areas of learning.
DepEd defines assessment as a tool for teachers
to monitor learners’ progress and develop 21st-
century skills.
Characteristics of 21st
Century Assessment
Cajigal and Mantuano (2014) identified the attributes
of 21st century assessment:
Responsive. Visible
assessment data informs
curriculum and instruction,
allowing teachers to adjust
instruction and educational
leaders to consider additional
opportunities, incorporating
best practices across all
areas.
Flexible. Curriculum design,
lesson, and assessment must
be flexible and resilient,
adapting to teachers‘ and
students’ settings. The 21st
century assessment approach
is versatile, responding to
diverse teaching and learning
environments.
Integrated. Assessments
should reflect learners' daily
experiences, stimulate
thinking, construct meaning,
and enrich metacognition.
They should offer
opportunities for learners to
consider choices, identify
strategies, and apply
learnings in real life.
Informative. The 21st
century assessment should
be clearly stated, allowing
students to showcase their
knowledge and skills, and
learning complex lessons
takes time. Aligning learning
objectives and grades with
desired outcomes is crucial
for skill development.
Multiple Methods. In the
21st century, diverse
assessment strategies are
prevalent, encouraging
learners to creatively
showcase their knowledge
through projects, tasks, and
performances, emphasizing
authentic and alternative
forms of assessment.
Communicated. The
educational community should
ensure transparent and
accessible communication of
assessment data, providing
learners with feedback and
parents with progress
reports, and including
authentic and alternative
assessments in the evaluation
process.
Technically Sound.
Assessment accommodations
should be accessible, fair,
relevant, and accurate, while
students should communicate
their learnings appropriately,
and assessment should be
technically sound and precise
for reliability.
Systematic. The 21st
century assessment system
is a comprehensive, inclusive,
and balanced strategy that
addresses all stakeholders
to enhance teaching and
learning.
What is Formative
Assessment?
-includes both formal and informal processes
that teachers and students use to gather data
for the purpose of identifying next steps in
learning (Chappuis, 2015). Formative
assessment can be used in all the parts of the
lesson. Generally, a lesson consists of three
parts: before the lesson, the lesson proper,
and after the lesson. Formative assessment in
each part serves a specific purpose.
 Collaborative
Formative Assessment
Collaborative formative assessment can be
seen in the following examples: group
brainstorming/discussions, games, role-plays,
and many others.
What is Summative
Assessment?
-are done at the end of every lesson or
unit using a paper- and-pencil test to
identify student achievement. Summative
assessment is defined as a form of
assessment that makes judgment about
learners to provide the evidence of
student achievement (Chappuis, 2015).
What is Assessed in
the Classroom?
-As teachers, it is our sole
responsibility to plan and execute
effective assessment strategies. In
order for us to achieve this, we must
first understand the requisites of
classroom assessment.
Learning Competencies
-are the set of knowledge,
skills, and attitude that
students need to understand
and demonstrate in every
lesson or performance.
ELABORATE
(Challenge)
Assessing Learning in Social Studies is a crucial
aspect of education that involves evaluating
student‘s understanding, knowledge, and skills in
various social science subjects. Social studies
encompasses a wide range of topics, including
history, geography, civics, economics, and cultural
studies. The assessment of social studies learning
aims to measure a student's ability to comprehend
complex societal issues, think critically, and apply
knowledge to real-world situations.
EVALUATE
(Harness)
Direction: Reflect yourselves in the following
questions:
1. How do you imagine your future by studying Social
Studies?
2. Do you love your country? Why?
3. Describe yourself as a Filipino citizen.
4. Why is Assessing Learning in Social Studies is
important?
5. Draw an object that describes yourself.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. What is the difference between Formative
Assessment and Summative Assessment?
