Activity 1: Assessment Scenarios

What is the purpose of assessment shown in the following assessment setting?

Select from the options below. Write a short explanation why it is so.

a) Assessment as selection or placement (Placement assessment)

b) Assessment as instruction and providing feedback (Formative)
c) Assessment as determining what learners need to learn next
d) Assessment as diagnosing learners difficulties and misconceptions ( Diagnostic)
e) Assessment as determining progress along a developmental continuum (Interim)
f) Assessment as evaluation or accountability (Summative)

1. A twelve year old out of school youth who stop during the fourth grade took a test given by the
department of Education to go back to formal schooling. The test determines the grade or year level
appropriate for the learner.

Assessment as selection or placement

It is use to determine the student’s entry performance whether what student’s already
possessed skills. And it is used to determine what grade or year he could be belong.

2. Every year a national normed assessment is given to grade 3 pupils in English, math and science.

Assessment as evaluation or accountability

It is given yearly to assess the grade 3 pupils on the development of the these three
academic subject.

3. The teacher returns a student’s Math worksheet with written comments. The teacher remarks consist
of a compliment and a correction. An explanation was provided concerning what the student did
correctly and incorrectly, what was accurate and inaccurate in the student’s work.

Assessment as instruction and providing feedback

The children should give a chance to fix or improve his/her worksheet before finalizing
it.
4. A math teacher gives a test towards the end of the unit. He/she will use the test items as starting
point for discussion of conceptual problems revealed by the test.

Assessment as diagnosing learner’s difficulties and misconceptions

It is the teacher will look for the children’s difficulties on the subject matter. It is to
assess to cater the gap of misconception of the children’s understanding about the math subject.

5. An English teacher regularly assesses student’s skills by using probes which are brief, easily
administered measures. The teacher then graphs changes in the number of correct words per minutes
(reading) and compare each student’s growth to the rate of improvement needed to meet learning
goals.

Assessment as determining progress along a developmental continuum

It is the process of helping teacher to figure out the performance of the children if there
is a need of improvement and enhancement to meet the learning goals.

6. A technology and livelihood education teacher is teaching ICT to his students. Through oral
questioning he asks several students about the use of the internet in searching for information and the
computer file system. He also provided a short computer exercise. After confirming what the students
know and can do, the teacher proceeded to the next segment, how to download files from the internet.

Assessment as determining what learners need to learn next

It is the teacher where conduct an activity to test the level of performance

where the students need to proceed unto the next level.

Concept Map shows:

The relations among the three assessments are to assess students

learning performance in form of tests. Assessment will help teacher identifying
concepts that students struggling to understand and to identify gaps in learning
process.

First, early assessment is to assess student’s readiness. Knowing of what

level of readiness are the students before entering college level or of the
kindergarten pupils readiness of enrolling in primary grade. After the early
assessment, formative instruction assessment follows to measure and monitor
students learning to provide on-going feedback during or after the lesson. Next is
the summative assessment which will be conducted in form of exam or test
quarterly to evaluate of what the students learn. All of these are types of
assessment with different time of implementation.

 Placement assessment
Kahit
grade 1 ok
na ako
Sana Sana maisama
doon
pakapasok ako sa college
ako kahit
grade 6 lang..

Kahit anong
grado, basta
makapasok ulit

The meme shows on the placement assessment which students praying and hoping of what
grade they should be placed. It is used to determine of what performance level are they.

 Diagnostic assessment
 Oh dear, in what “How does one bag
problem did you find
of nails is heavier
difficult?
than 3 bags of
cotton?”

The meme shows that the learners ha a difficulty of understanding the lesson
and that’s the way the diagnostic assessment will come in.

 Formative Assessment
 Module 1

It shows that during the instructions of online class, there is a difficulties expperience by
the students that will lead them to fail of passing their activities and some are dropping their classes.
The formative assessment will assess students about their situations during this new normal education.

 Summative Assessment

Pass…
My exam pass…pass
result?
 Humm…..

?????

84%

It shows here that the summative assessment result of the student is about 84%. It
means that he able to pass the exam. The learning outcome is good.

TASK 1: ASSESSMENT SCENARIOS

 Determine the role of assessment in the given scenario. Was assessment used for placement,
formative, diagnostic or summative purposes? How was the information used? Explain you answer.

1. A group of Science teachers analyzed the results of the national achievement tests given to
Grade 6 pupils. Most of their students obtained low scores in science. They learned further that their
students had difficulty with items about physical and chemical changes, forms and uses of energy, and
motion. They thought of a professional development project that focuses on introducing pedagogical
innovations particularly in teaching the said topics. After two years, they saw a material improvement in
the performance of their students in the national test, particularly on Science items about forms of
matter, energy and motion.
 This scenario shows the role of assessment is summative assessment when they
conducted the achievement test for grade 6 pupils and they found out the students
have difficulties in the items of some topics and obtain a low score on it. For this
evaluation, the group of science teachers thought of a professional development project
that the teaching focus on the said topic introducing the pedagogical innovations.

2. For the entire session, a Social studies teacher emphasized the importance of human rights in
nation building. Towards the end of the period, he handed each student a piece of paper and posed a
question: “What happens if human rights violations go unchecked?” The teacher made use of the “exit
ticket” strategy to see what students have learned them to the teacher at the end of the period upon
leaving. After reading his students’ responses, he starts planning for the next session.

 It shows the formative assessment when the teacher gave a posed question after the
discussion in social studies emphasized the importance of human rights in nation
building. After reading the student’s responses the teacher knows plan for the next
session.

3. Ms. Jimenez suspected that one of her pupils has limited reading skills. To help the learner,
she needed to identify the specific areas with which the child struggles. Is the child impaired in one or
more of the following components: phonemic awareness, phonic, fluency, vocabulary and compression?
To answer her question, she gave the learner an assessment. Upon ascertaining that the child has
difficulty in phonics, the teacher thought of using an analogic approach to teach phonics.

 Diagnostic assessment is shown in this scenario, when Miss Jimenez assesses and
identifies the specific areas where one of her pupils struggles with limited reading skills.
After of her assessment, she identified child’s difficulty in phonics and she thought of
using an analogic approach to teach phonics.

4. Every month, teachers in a private high school give an interim Math test to check on student
progress. Any student who obtains a core below the cut of core 75 is invited to attend a special class for
additional instruction. However, if the student obtains a ‘fall’ score in two or more occasions, the
student is enjoined to attend the special test.

 Summative assessment is shown on this scenario when the private school gave an
interim test every month. Based on the results, the students who obtain 75 score below
the cut is envited to attain a special for additional intructions and for those obtain a fall
score in two or more occations, student is enjoin to attend the special test.

Task 2. Interview

Since a I could not able to interview a secondary teacher because of some reasons due
to pandemic, I chose to proceed another option, the private school teacher of K 1 and K 2.
