1. How can a teacher come up with an effective instructional decision?
Effective instructional decisions are crucial for student learning. Teachers should assess
student needs through observations and assessments. Aligning lessons with clear objectives helps
keep instruction focused. Data guides decisions, allowing for adjustments based on student
performance. Being flexible and responsive during lessons helps adapt instruction in real-time.
Reflecting on lessons helps evaluate decisions to improve teaching practices. Ultimately,
understanding students' needs, using data, staying flexible, and reflecting are key to making
effective instructional decisions.
2. What must a teacher do to determine the students’ skills and abilities that are needed to
begin instruction?
To evaluate learners' competencies and capabilities before teaching, a teacher should
examine learners' existing knowledge via pre-assessments, observations, or casual evaluations.
They might also review former records, discuss with learners, and recognize any educational gaps
or strengths. This aids in customizing instruction to address learners' requirements efficiently.

3. What is a diagnostic assessment? When is this assessment usually given?


A diagnostic assessment is a form of evaluation utilized to determine students' current
knowledge, abilities, strengths, and weaknesses before the commencement of instruction. It aids
in identifying particular learning gaps or areas that require focus. This type of assessment is
typically administered at the beginning of a course or unit, before new material is introduced, to
guide instructional planning.

4. What is a formative test? Discuss its purpose.


A formative assessment is a sort of evaluation used throughout the educational process to
measure students' growth and grasp of the subject material. Its goal is to provide continual
feedback to both instructors and learners. This allows teachers to change their teaching
approaches based on the needs of their students and helps students identify areas for
improvement. Formative assessments are often low-pressure and used to guide more learning
rather than determine final grades.
D. 1. You want to determine whether the students possess the knowledge and skills needed to
begin the planned instruction.
Using a diagnostic assessment is what I would advise. This type of examination helps to
identify students' present knowledge, talents, and any inadequacies before beginning new
teaching. It provides a crucial insight into whether students are prepared for the scheduled
classes, allowing the teacher to tailor the instruction to meet the student's needs.

2. You want to provide continuous feedback to students about their learning successes
and failures.
I would recommend doing formative assessments. These assessments are administered
constantly throughout the educational process and provide learners with continual feedback.
Formative evaluations aid in identifying areas of achievement and areas for improvement,
allowing students to change their learning strategies and educators to modify curriculum to
encourage student advancement.

3. You want to determine why several students continue to experience failure in reading
and mathematics despite the use of your school’s prescribed alternative method of
instruction.
My recommendation would be to use a diagnostic assessment. Through the identification
of knowledge, ability, or comprehension gaps in reading and mathematics, this type of assessment
helps pinpoint the precise causes of students' difficulties. It can provide an in-depth understanding
of students' challenges, allowing for targeted interventions or adjustments to the method of
instruction.

4. You want to determine the extent to which instructional goals have been achieved.
A summative evaluation is what I would advise using. To determine if classmates have
achieved the learning objectives and instructional goals, this type of evaluation is given at the end
of the lesson. It helps assess the efficacy of learning by providing a definitive indicator of
students' overall performance and understanding of the subject matte

E. Differentiate each of the following pairs: examples may be cited to further clarify the meaning.
1. Assessment and Evaluation
In education, assessment and evaluation are two distinct but related ideas: The process of
collecting information to evaluate pupils' learning, growth, abilities, or competencies is
known as assessment. It is typically ongoing and seeks to understand how well students are
learning during the educational process. Examples of assessment include formative
examinations, quizzes, assignments, and observations. For instance, during a unit, a teacher
gives a quiz to determine how well the students have understood the subject.
Evaluation is a thorough evaluation process that assesses the effectiveness of a program,
student performance, or educational initiatives, evaluating the overall achievement or
instructional efficacy of the learning process. A teacher evaluates students' performance on
assessments like quizzes, projects, and participation at the end of a semester to determine if
they have met the course's learning objectives.

2. Formative Evaluation and Summative Evaluation


The teacher uses pop quizzes or class discussions to assess students' understanding of a
topic, allowing them to adjust lessons or offer additional support is an example of f formative
evaluation which is used for improvement during the learning process, while summative
evaluation provides a final measure of what students have learned. A final exam, end-of-term
project, or presentation is a crucial assessment tool used to evaluate the knowledge acquired
during a specific term or unit is an example.

3. Mental Skill and Manual Skill


Mental skills involve cognitive abilities like thinking, problem-solving, reasoning,
decision-making, and memory, requiring mental effort to process information, plan,
analyze, and apply knowledge. Solving math problems or planning a strategy for a
chess game is an example that focuses more on understanding, thinking, and decision-
making.
Manual skills require the use of physical mobility and dexterity. These talents are
acquired via practice and are related to tasks that necessitate hand-eye coordination
and fine or gross motor skills. Examples of these are students from SHS TVL who
use their manual skills to plant, fix broken things, bake, and cook.

4. Measurement and Evaluation


Measurement generates numerical data or scores, such as quiz and test scores,
whereas evaluation entails using the data to make larger judgments and conclusions,
such as assessing whether a student has mastered the learning objectives or not.
