that all of the lower 25% got the correct answer while all the ITEM ANALYSIS AND upper 25% got the wrong answer VALIDATION  A discriminating index of 1 tells you that the item is perfectly discriminating and an ideal item that should be included in Tests are subject to item analysis and validation to ensure that the the standardize and summative tests final version of the examination would be functional, reliable and useful ACTION FOR THE INDEX RANGE INTERPRETATION The difficulty of the test items will be determined allowing TEST ITEM evaluating whether it is too easy or it is too hard. This will help to Can discriminate decide whether to revise or replace the items in a standardized test -1.0 - 0.50 but item is Discard the item for a particular unit or grading period questionable -0.49 – 0.45 Non-discriminating Revise ITEM ANALYSIS Item analysis provides you information that will allow you 0.46 – 1.0 Discriminating item Include to decide whether to revise or replace an item. ITEM DIFFICULTY Good item has good discriminating ability and has  The number of learners who were able to answer the items sufficient level of difficulty correctly divided by the total number of students  Can be expresses as:  Needed formulas: ( )  Often expressed in percentage form RANGE OF ACTION TO BE DIFFICULTY INTERPRETATION DONE ON THE INDEX ITEM The Item Analysis Procedure will provide you the difficulty of an item, its discriminating power and the Revise the item or 0 - 0.20 Very difficult effectiveness of the other alternatives.

Even the poorest students can answer made by the educator based on the results. INDEX OF DISCRIMINATION  A test will only be valid if it aligned to the learning outcomes  Derive a measure that will determine whether an item can set prior to the teaching-learning process tell the difference between the sets of learners THREE ESSENTIAL VALIDATION EVIDENCES  Difference between the proportion of the upper group who Content-Related Evidence got the item right and the proportion of the lower group who  Refers to the content and format of the instrument got the item right o How appropriate is the content?  Ability of an item to differentiate among students on the o How comprehensive? basis of how well they know the matter being tested o Does it logically get at the intended variable?  An easy to derive such a measure is to measure how difficult o How adequately does the sample of items or questions an item is with respect to those who were in the upper 25% represent the contents to be assessed? of the class and how difficult it is those who are in the lower  Starts when writing the based on the table of specifications 25% found it difficult, then the item can discriminate and then asks at least (2) experts to whether the two are properly between the two group constructively aligned  Experts review whether the items in the test in aligned on  Can range from -1.00 (when the Dupper is 0 and Dlower is 1) to the objectives and table of specifications then approves the 1. When the index of discrimination is equal to -1, it implies items  If items are for revisions, the teacher would reconstruct or revise the test item to be approved again by the experts GRADING SYSTEM Criterion-Related Evidence  Refers to the relationship between the scores obtained using Grading system gives a quantitative reference to whether the instrument and scores obtained using one or more other the desired learning outcome has been achieved.

Exceptional or unique observation shall be emphasized and be given immediate attention PROCESS-ORIENTED PERFROMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT  Seeks to measure the achieved competencies and skills o Reliability of observation records is enhanced if multiple  Students perform a specific task to display and demonstrate observations are gathered and synthesized the learning they are expected to learn  Checklist is the most common tool for this.

When it cannot be separate the criterion from each other RUBRICS (like grammar structure). We cannot separate the use of Scoring scale used to assess the learner’s performance punctuations from correct grammar structure along a specific set of tasks and a set of criterion Note: PRODUCT-ORIENTED Authentic assessments typically are criterion-based grading PERFROMANCE BASED STUDENT’S APTITUDE ASSESSMENT Measured by matching the student’s performance against a set criterion to determine the degree to which the PRODUCT-ORIENTED LEARNING COMPETENCIES student’s performance meets the criteria for the task Student performances can be described as the target learning outcomes that leads to a specific product or competency Well defined rubrics have the following components:  Products are a wide array of student works that target LEVEL OF PERFORMANCE specific skills. This skills are demonstrated through:  Gives the ability to quantitatively express the ratings o Reading, writing, speaking, and listening or  Informs what level of performance the learner has already psychomotor skills which require physical abilities to achieved perform a given task THE CRITERIA  Assessed with an assessment linked to the level of expertise  Wanted things to measure and qualitatively contributes to manifested by the product the overall learning objective of the lesson  Can be done in the following ways:  Level 3 o Knowing and listing down the identifiers of the expected learning objectives (constructive Does the finished product contain the alignment) minimum  Next step is: requirements, have o Setting the highest and lowest levels of performance additional features and aesthetically o Determine the type of performance that would pleasing constitute the best and worst performance. The teacher will have an idea of the middle level of performance for the concept being measured Level 2 does the finished output contan additional parts and functions on top of the minimum requirement Level 1 does the finished product illustrate the minimum expected parts and functions? TASK DESIGNING The design of the task depends on what the teacher desires o observe as outputs of the students Things need to consider when designing assessment COMPLEXITY  Are my students capable of doing such ambiguous output  Is the project age appropriate? APPEAL  Is the project enjoyable to create?  Are the students going to enjoy doing it while moving towards the desired learning outcomes? CREATIVITY  How does one best present the expected output? GOAL-BASED  Will the output project the desired learning outcome?  Will the project showcase the overall desired learning outcome? CREAFTING THE RUBRICS  Scoring rubrics in product-based performance based assessment requires judgement from the evaluating body  Typically employed in essays and evaluating projects  Judgement concerning the quality of a given writing sample may vary depending upon the criteria that was set SETTING THE CRITERIA  The measure for scoring rubrics are statements which identifies “what really matters” in the final outputs  Most often used for evaluating outputs o Quality o Creativity o Comprehensiveness o Accuracy o Aesthetics PROCESS OF DEVELOPING SCORING RUBRICS  The development of scoring rubrics goes through a process  First step in the process:
