Study Notes

Learning Outcomes and Assessment

Learning outcomes are statements about what a student will achieve upon successful completion of a unit of study.
They establish a foundation for assessment tasks, learning activities, and content selection.
Learning outcomes describe what a learner is expected to know, understand, and demonstrate after completing a process of learning.

Types of Assessment

Assessment for learning: occurs during the learning process, used to modify teaching strategies and learner's learning approaches.
Assessment as learning: learners' awareness of their own learning process, used to make necessary adaptations.
Assessment of learning: review process at the end of a learning unit, used to measure achievement and provide grades.

Characteristics of Assessment

Validity: accurately represents course content and depth of learning achieved.
Reliability: test results are repeatable and reflect a true reflection of an examinee's achievement.

Objective and Subjective Tests

Objective tests: factual questions, quickly scored, minimizing subjective judgments.
Techniques used: multiple-choice items, true/false items, matching items, and others.
Subjective tests: evaluated by giving an opinion, more challenging and expensive, but can be more valid.
Techniques used: essay writing, composition writing, and others.

Classroom-Based Assessment

Composed of formative and summative assessments administered by teachers in their classrooms.
Policy guidelines on classroom assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program are outlined in DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015.

System Assessments

National or international assessments, used to feed into the system assessment of DepEd.
Examples include international large-scale assessments, listed in DepEd Order No. 29, s. 2017.
