I. INTRODUCTION:
This learning module guides learners on becoming a good teacher. As facilitators of learning,
teachers are compelled to set learning outcomes that are expected from the students. With this learning
module, they will be assisted to formulate learning objectives and to assess student learning outcomes. It
equips students with tools for critical evaluation of a variety of learning activities and centers on the
alignment of these learning activities to the learning objectives. As future educators themselves, learners
can use the knowledge, skills and insight they’ll learn from this module in their future professional ventures.
This chapter covers additional discussion on program outcomes and student learning outcomes. It
contains examples of learning verbs for the different taxonomies for each domain of learning. This will
guide students to formulate good lesson objectives which is crucial to good teaching. Moreover, it discusses
the principles of good practice in assessing learning outcomes. In this module, students will also be
introduced to a variety of assessment methods, tools and tasks. The discussion in this module comes from
internet resources, printed materials, and among others. As your facilitator of learning in ED 302, I will
enrich our discussion by presenting information with citations. If you have questions please do not hesitate
to call, email, text or chat with me on the details provided in the Teacher Intervention Section of this module.
Through (4.2.1.1) excellent instruction, relevant and responsive research and/ or extension services,

DISCUSSION
PROGRAM OUTCOMES AND STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
PROGRAM OUTCOMES are statements about the knowledge, skills and attitudes (attributes) the
graduate of a formal program should have. POs deal with the general aspect of graduation for a particular
program, and the competencies and expertise a graduate will possess after completion of the program
(Linways, 2018).
The Commission on Higher Education, the body that regulates higher education in the Philippines,
in its Memorandum Order #20, s.2014 requires the following outcomes for all higher education institutions
(HEI) the ability to:
● articulate and discuss the latest development in the specific field of practice;
● effectively communicate orally and in writing using both English and Filipino;
● work effectively and independently in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams;
● act in recognition of professional, social and ethical responsibility; and
● preserve and promote “Filipino historical and cultural heritage.”
Some program outcomes are based on types of HEI because this determines the focus and purpose
of the HEI. For example:
● Graduates of professional institutions demonstrate a service orientation in one’s profession.
3
● Graduates of colleges participate in various types of employment, development activities and public
discourses, particularly in response to the needs of the communities one serves.
● graduates of universities participate in the generation of new knowledge or in research and
development projects.
● Graduates of State Universities and Colleges must, in addition, have the competencies to support
“national, regional and local development plans.”
LEARNING OUTCOMES are statements of desired results of learning that are expressed in words
that make it clear how measurement can be achieved. Therefore, learning outcomes provide a basis for
measuring and reporting on student achievement (Popenici & Millar, 2015).

Bloom's Taxonomy:
The Original Cognitive
Domain
http://www.nwlink.com/~don
clark/hrd/Bloom/original_cog
nitive_version.html
Lorin Anderson, a former student of Bloom, and David Krathwohl revisited the cognitive domain in
the mid-nineties and made some changes, with perhaps the three most prominent ones being (Anderson,
Krathwohl, Airasian, Cruikshank, Mayer, Pintrich, Raths, Wittrock, 2000):
5
● changing the names in the six categories from noun to verb forms
● rearranging them as shown Figure 3
● creating a processes and levels of knowledge matrix
In the revised cognitive taxonomy, Anderson and Krathwohl identified 4 levels of knowledge.
1. Factual - The basic elements or facts students must know to be acquainted with a
Bloom's Revised discipline or solve problems.
Taxonomy 2. Conceptual – The interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger
structure that enable them to function together.
3. Procedural - How to do something, methods of inquiry, and criteria for using
skills, algorithms, techniques, and methods.
4. Metacognitive – Knowledge of cognition in general, as well as awareness and
knowledge of one’s own cognition.

When the cognitive and knowledge dimensions are arranged in a matrix, as shown below, it makes
a nice performance aid for creating performance objectives.

DISCUSSION
PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PRACTICE IN ASSESSING LEARNING OUTCOMES
Assessment is an integral process for determining the nature of and extent of student learning and
development. This process will be most effective when the principles of good practice in assessment are
taken into consideration.

CONSTRUCTIVE ALIGNMENT
An important consideration when designing a learning experience, course, or
program is to ensure assessments and instructional strategies are aligned with the
intended learning outcomes (Biggs & Tang, 2011). Creating an aligned design focuses
instructional strategies on development of knowledge, skills, and values while providing
formative feedback and preparing learners for formal assessment.
● Establish learning objectives - write clear, measurable outcomes of student
learning in line with assessment criteria
● Provide learning opportunities - design content, fine-tune teaching and
Figure 11: Instructional Cycle assessment to provide multiple opportunities to achieve all established learning
outcomes
● Assess student learning - teachers implement their planned assessments to determine whether students have
met the intended learning outcomes
● Use the results from the assessment - use results to understand and improve student learning and fine-tune
teaching strategies and practice
VARIETY OF ASSESSMENT METHODS, TOOLS AND TASKS
Assessment methods can be classified as traditional and authentic. Traditional assessment method
refers to the usual paper-and-pencil test while authentic assessment is called alternative assessment, it being
an alternative to the traditional.
Traditional vs.
Authentic Assessment TRADITIONAL ASSESSMENT AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
PORTFOLIO
For purposes of assessment, a portfolio is a limited collection of Types of Portfolio
a student’s work used either to present the student’s best work(s) or
to demonstrate the student’s educational growth over a given time. A
portfolio is not simply a scrapbook or collection of all of a student’s
work. The works put into a portfolio are carefully and deliberately
http://www.ascd.org/publications/books/197
selected so the collection as a whole accomplishes its purpose (Nitko 171/chapters/The-Types-of-Portfolios.aspx
& Brookhart, 2014).
SCORING RUBRICS
According to Brookhart (2013), a rubric is a coherent set of criteria for students’ work that includes
descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria. The main purpose of rubrics is to assess
performances.
Rubrics have two major aspects: coherent sets of criteria and descriptions of levels of performance for
these criteria. There are two types: (1) analytic and (2) holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each
criterion separately. For most classroom purposes, analytic rubrics are best. Holistic rubrics describe the
work by applying all the criteria at the same time and enabling an overall judgment about the quality of the
10
work. One classroom purpose for which holistic rubrics are better than analytic rubrics is the situation in
which students will not see the results of a final summative assessment and you will not really use the
information for anything except a grade.
