ANALYZE
1. Are all the assessment tasks aligned to the learning outcome?
● Yes, all the assessment tasks of my resources teacher are aligned on the
learning outcome and objective they have.
2. What are possible consequences if teacher's assessment tasks are not aligned
to learning outcome/s? Does this affect assessment results? How?
● Yes, it will affect the assessment result because how you assess and achieve the
learning outcome and objectives of your lesson if the assessment tasks are not
aligned. You will not have a successful and effective teaching and learning
process because the assessment result will reflect your performance.
3
● All assessment tasks should be aligned to the learning outcomes because you
will tell and identify if you are an effective and efficient teacher when you achieve
the goals of your lesson and the assessment result is high. Assessment result
will be based on the learning and knowledge gained during your discussion.
REFLECT
● Reflect on past assessments you have been through. Were they all aligned with
what your teacher taught (with learning outcomes?)
○ There are assessments that are not aligned on what the teacher taught or
with the learning outcomes but it is seldom to happen. There are many
times that assessments are aligned to what the teachers taught and to the
learning outcomes. Maybe because there are lessons that are very broad,
so it is difficult for the teacher to align it with the learning outcomes.
● How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you
learn from this past experience and from this observation?
○ Assessments that are not aligned on what you taught have a great impact
on your performance and to the students because it will create chaos in
the mind of the students on how it will answer, and they may get lower
scores that will reflect on the result of assessment you have given. So, as
a future teacher, this observation helps to guide me on what I should do in
the future. I learned that every assessment task should be aligned on what
you have taught and on the learning outcomes you have. Always visit your
learning outcomes and objectives before doing the instructional materials
and the assessment whether it is exam, quiz, activity or task.

REVISIT the Learning Essentials
● Traditional assessment tools are also called paper-and-pencil tests.
● Traditional assessment tools usually measure learning in the cognitive domain.
● Traditional or paper-and-pencil tests can be classified either as selected-
response tests or constructed-response supply type of tests.
● Common examples of the selected-response types of tests are alternate
response tests (True-False, yes-no), multiple-choice and matching types of tests.
● Common examples of the constructed-response type of test are short answer,
problem-solving, and essay
OBSERVE
● Observe classes and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the
teacher
● With the teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
Direction: Put a check (✔) on the test which the teacher used. From your teacher’s test items,
give an example.

ANALYZE
1. Which assessment tools/tasks were most commonly used by teachers? Which
ones were rarely used? Why were they rarely used?
● The assessment tool that teachers commonly use is the multiple choice because
it is more reliable in testing the knowledge rather than the usual essay type of
test. It is also time efficient that students can answer it in a short period of time.
The rare one is matching type because it is just like multiple choice wherein there
are statements written under column a and students choose an answer from the
letters under column b.
2. Based on your answers found in the Tables above in which type of assessment
tools and tasks were the Resource Teachers most skilled in test construction?
least skilled?
● Based on the table above, the most skilled test construction by my resource
teacher is problem solving and essay restriction because they constructed the
statement well and they did it in every lesson wherein the students tested their
analysis and comprehension skills on how to react and respond to the given
situation. And the least skilled is the completion because i didn’t observe it in her
class that she uses this kind of assessment tool.
8
3. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper-and-
pencil test, be considered an authentic form of assessment? Explain your
answer.
● Yes, the paper and pencil test can be considered as authentic assessment
because though it is a written assessment, it can also use the creative learning
experience to test students’ skills and knowledge in a realistic situation.
REFLECT
How good are you at constructing traditional assessment tools? Which do you find most
difficult to construct? Any lesson/s learned?
● I’m not yet good at constructing traditional assessment tools and I’m still learning
the proper construction. I find difficulty in creating problem solving types of
exams. It is critical to make because you need to have good construction of a
problem to understand well by the students and give their solution.
Activity 13.3 Observing the Use of Traditional Assessment Tools and Scoring
Rubrics
9
● There are two types of rubrics- analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe
work on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student’s
work as a whole.
● For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate.
● For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do.
● A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or
performance is rated, the rating scale, and a description of the levels of
performance.
OBSERVE
● Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the
assessment tool used by the teacher.
● With the teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool.
● Study the assessment tool then accomplish the Observation Sheet.
● Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students?
● Which type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use - analytic or holistic?

ANALYZE
11
1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you
think that type of rubric was used more?
● As I observed except on the output and performance rubric above, the
rubrics that are usually used was the analytic rubrics wherein the score
scale was 1 to 5 and each point had a description. It is more simple for the
students to have a guide on making their outputs or performance and it is
easy to understand what grade you can get based on your output or
performance.
2. Based on your answers in # 1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made
and used by the Resource Teachers?
● The scoring rubrics made and used by my resource teacher were mostly
holistic rubrics which only have single criterion rubrics. But, in explaining
the activity, she also explains the rubrics one by one.
3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if the teacher would rate
the product or performance without scoring rubrics? Explain.
● Yes, it has differences because rubrics serve as a guide on how they will
make and create their product or performance and it is the guide of the
teacher in scoring and grading the output and performance of the
students. And, if there’s no rubrics the students will be confused on how
the teacher graded their performance and output.
4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how?
● If I’m going to improve one scoring rubric used, I will improve the holistic
rubrics. I will put a description in every criteria. For example in content,
creativity, etc, I will put a description on what should be the content on
each one.
12
6. Can rubrics help make students become self-directed or independent learners?
Do rubrics contribute to assessment AS learning (self-assessment?) What if
there were no rubrics in assessment?
● Yes, rubrics help the students to become self-directed and independent
learners because if you prepare rubrics in a specific activity or task, it
serves as their guide on how they will finish or what will be the content of
their task or work. If there’s no rubric prepared, the students will become
confused or they will make an activity or task that is not suited to the
standard that you want.
Does the Scoring Rubric in this FS Book 1 help you come up with better output?
● Yes, it helps to have better output because it guides you on how you will finish
your work and what should be the content of your work. You will become
prepared and ready for the content and materials that are needed to your task or
activity.
REFLECT
Are authentic assessment tools and tasks new? Reflect on your experiences of
tests for all the years as a student.
● No, it is not new from my experience as a student because though we are not
able to identify it as an authentic assessment, according to its meaning it is
where the students can apply their acquired skills and knowledge to complete the
task. Though I didn’t know what authentic assessment and its meaning was,
because of the activity and task given to us where we apply what we learned
from the lesson, it suits the meaning.

Resource Teacher: Mrs. Jhenine L. Ragaas Teacher’s SIgnature:
OBSERVE
● Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any. If there are, select
one best portfolio from what you examined.
● If none, research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts
● Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher researched by
you, accomplish Observation Sheet #

What a Portfolio Includes
ANALYZE
1. With OBE in mind, which should be the basis for the selection of pieces of
evidence to show that what the student was supposed to learn was learned?
● The basis for the selection of pieces of evidence to show that what the
student was supposed to learn was learned are the activities or the works
that suited for the objectives and the objectives should meet on those
activities or works that are included in the portfolio to assess if the
students learned what they were supposed to learn.
2. Scrutinize the elements of this portfolio. Based on the parts, under which type of
portfolio does this fall?
● From the elements available above, I think this falls on the development
or growth portfolio because there are pieces of evidence that students
reflect themselves about the learning they earned from the lesson.
20
Elements of a DEVELOPMENT/GROWTH Portfolio (Which type of portfolio)
1. Cover Letter-About the Author and "What My Portfolio Shows About My Progress as a Learner"
5. Drats of auraioral and written products and revised revisions, Le (first drafts and corrected/revised
versions)
6. Student's Reflections
3. Where and when does the teacher make use of each of the 3 types of portfolio?
● There are specific times when and where the teacher will use the portfolio
because there are specific important and characteristic features of each
type. First is the development/growth development it is when the teacher
wants to assess if there are changes and development happening in their
students. Second one is the showcase/display portfolio where students
show their skills and talents on a certain point. It is a usual product or
performance task. And the other one is the assessment evaluation
portfolio, it is when the teacher assesses or evaluates the prior learning of
the students and at the end it will give the same activity and they will
identify if there are developments in their works or learning. It is also used
to identify if their objectives are met.
REFLECT
Have portfolios made the learning assessment process more
inconvenient? Is the effort exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate with the
improvement of learning and development of learners’ metacognitive process that result
from the use of portfolio?
● The portfolio assessment makes the learning assessment process more
convenient because you will identify if there is certain progress and development
happening among your students through different kinds of portfolios. Yes, the
effort exerted on portfolio assessment commensurate with the improvement of
learning and development of learners’ metacognitive process that result from the
use of portfolio because there are set of activities that can assessment the
progress and development of the students especially there metacognitive
process happened in making and accomplishing the portfolio. There are
21
reflections happening in the portfolio which the students have to reflect their own
learning.

ANALYZE
1. Which cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions? lowest
number?
● The cognitive skills had the highest number of assessment questions are
remembering, understanding, and analysing because in these cognitive
skills, the teacher will identify if there is something that is recalled and
understood by the students and it is suited to the time allotted to answer
the assessment questions. While the lower number is the creating
because it needs more time to answer and create something to assess the
students.
2. What do these (lowest and highest number of assessment questions) reveal
about the Resource Teacher's level of questions?
29
● Based on the lowest and highest number of assessments made by the
resource teacher, it reveals that the level of questions are easy or low
because most of the questions rely on remembering and understanding
wherein the students will only recall what they discussed and learned.
3. Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, which are the highest cognitive
skills? Give an example of an assessment question for each of the two highest
cognitive skills- metacognitive skills and self-system thinking.
● Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, the highest cognitive skills
are metacognitive skills and self-system thinking wherein the teacher will
give questions that will reflect their gained knowledge and learning from
the lesson. And the students will tell why it is important to learn. Example
is why is it important to know or learn?
REFLECT
If you were to rate yourself on HOTS - where will you be from a scale of 1 to 5 (5
as highest) where will you be?
● If I am going to rate myself on HOTS. I will rate myself on a scale of 3. Only in
the middle because I’m not fully trained and aware of using HOTS and I’m still
working to make it 5.
30
● A Table of Specification (TOS) is a two-way chart that describes the topics to be
covered by a test and the number of items or points which will be associated with
each topic.
● Sometimes the types of items are described in terms of cognitive level as well

31
1. What parts must a TOS contain to ensure test content validity?
● All parts of the TOS are important in creating assessments or questions to
ensure test content validity because it will be used as a guide on making
an assessment or question.
3. With OBE in mind, is it correct to put learning outcome not a topic in the first
column? Why or why not?
● Yes , it is correct that we put the learning outcome on the first column
instead of the topic to identify what our goal is at the end of the lesson. It
is to identify if our activity or assessment will be suited to the outcome that
we have.
4. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS?
● No, because TOS serves as a guide on making the test to have its content
validity. This is the reason why we need to create our TOS first before
making the test questions. If there’s no TOS first, maybe the content of the
questions are not valid to the lesson we discussed and the formation of
the questions are not organized.

Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it. Will the required use of the
Table of Specifications as a guide in test construction solve the problem of misaligned
tests?
● I also experienced that situation where there are several questions in the exam
that we are not familiar with or we don’t know the answer because it is not being
discussed by the teacher. So to finish that exam we just answer it by our stock
knowledge without knowing if it is correct or not. Maybe, in that case, there is no
TOS created first before constructing the test. TOS is very important in test
construction because it will give content validity and it makes the test questions
organized. All the objectives in that lesson are included in the TOS so we can
identify what questions should be created in the test.

● The latest grading system in basic education includes students' performance in written
tests and performance tasks, with emphasis on the latter. The quarterly exam may be a
combination of written test and performance tasks.
OBSERVE
1. What are the new features of the latest grading system? What things are you
required to do with this new grading system which you were not asked before?
● As per my resource teacher, in the new feature of grading system the
grading scale changed from 60:40 is the ratio of grading system which is
60% are the written outputs like quizzes and and activities and 40% is the
performance task become 40:60 wherein the 40% is the written outputs
while 60% is the performance task.
2. Which do you prefer - the old or the new grading system? Why?
● According to my resource teacher, she chose the new grading system
wherein the performance tasks have the highest scale because not all the
students are good in writing and in examinations. This scale makes the
grade of the students balanced, if they are low in written output but their
grades in performance tasks are high and good they make their grades
balance and they can recover their failing grades on the written outputs.
C. Interview of 5 Students
37
recovery on their failing grades. This makes their grades balance or get
higher.
2. Do you have problems with the new grading system? If there is, what?
● For them, there was no problem with the new grading system, the
mentioned problem was the way they were going to submit it on time
because since we are in virtual class all activities are passed through
online. But, because of the poor internet connection they didn’t pass it on
time or sometimes technical problems happened.
3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance?
Why or why not?
● Their answer is yes, because it is not about how knowledgeable and smart
you are, it is now about the talents, ability and skills you have. Though you
are not good academically but you have talents and abilities that you will
use in performance tasks you can get high grades also.
4. Which do you prefer, the old or the new grading system? Why?
● According to them, they prefer the new grading system wherein it is not all
about how smarter and knowledgeable you are. Though they are not good
academically but because of their talents they can also excel on the class
and they can get high grades also.
2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades 11 to 12.
Give an example.
38
● Get the total score for each component.
● Divide the total raw score by the highest possible score then multiply the quotient
by 100%.
● Convert Percentage Scores to Weighted Scores. Multiply the Percentage Score
by the weight of the component.
● Add the Weighted Scores of each component.
● The result will be the Initial Grade.
● Transmute the Initial Grade using the Transmutation Table.
39
○ The Final Grade in each learning area and the General Average are
reported as whole numbers.
● For Grades 11 and 12
○ The two quarters determine the Final Grade in a semester.
4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress of learners?
● The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and
guardians through a parent-teacher conference, in which the report
card is discussed. When a learner’s raw scores are consistently
below expectations in Written Work and Performance Tasks, the
learner’s parents or guardians must be informed not later than the
fifth week of that quarter. This will enable them to help and guide
their child to improve and prepare for the Quarterly Assessment. A
learner who receives a grade below 75 in any subject in a quarter
must be given intervention through remediation and extra lessons
from the teacher/s of that subject.
5. What are the bases for learners' promotion and retention at the end of the school
year?
● A Final Grade of 75 or higher in all learning areas allows the student to be
promoted to the next grade level.
Requirements Decision
Did Not Meet Must pass remedial classes for learning areas with failing
Expectations in not more mark to be promoted to the next grade level. Otherwise
than two learning areas the learner is retained in the same grade level.

Did not Meet Expectations Must pass remedial classes for failed competencies in
in a prerequisite subject in the subject before being allowed to enroll in the higher-
a learning area level subject
Did Not Meet Expectations Must pass remedial classes for failed competencies in
in any subject or learning the subjects or learning areas to be allowed to enroll in
area at the end of the the next semester. Otherwise the learner must retake
semester the subjects failed.
Must pass all subjects or Earn the Senior High School Certificate
learning areas in Senior
High School
For Grades 1-10, a learner who Did Not Meet Expectations in at most two
learning areas must take remedial classes. Remedial classes are conducted after the
Final Grades have been computed. The learner must pass the remedial classes to be
promoted to the next grade level. However, teachers should ensure that learners
receive remediation when they earn raw scores which are consistently below
expectations in Written Work and Performance Tasks by the fifth week of any quarter.
This will prevent a student from failing in any learning area at the end of the year.
For Grade 11-12, learners who fail a unit/set of competencies must be immediately
given remedial classes. They should pass the summative assessments during
remediation to avoid a failing grade in a learning area/subject. This will prevent students
from having back subjects in Senior High School (SHS). However, if the learner still fails
remedial classes, s/he must retake the subject/s failed during the summer or as a back
subject. Guidance teachers/career advocates must provide support to the SHS student
for his/her choices in SHS Tracks.

shall agree on how to conduct these observations. They will also discuss
how each child will be rated.
AO Always Observed
SO Sometimes Observed
RO Rarely Observed
NO Not Observed
Learners who demonstrate behaviors that are not consistent with or do not reflect
the core values may need additional psychosocial support from the school. The class
adviser should discuss these observations with the parents/guardians to promote the
child’s affective development. Further probing may be needed to better understand the
learner’s situation and context.
E. Grade Computation
Show sample computations of a grade:
● in a subject of your choice from Grades 1 to 6 (if you are a future
elementary teacher)
● in your specialization, if you are a high school teacher
○ It is not available because we don’t have experience to compute
quarter grades of our students.
43
○ Quarterly assessment (20%) - this is the examination at the end of
every quarter to assess the students to the lesson they discussed
in the whole quarter.

● Yes, grades still really matter though we are now emphasizing the self-directed
and demonstration of competencies because we can monitor our students
through grades. Though it is just a number and we can identify their real abilities
and capabilities, we can monitor what aspects or parts that they need to develop
more.
