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.
