Classroom Assessment for the K to 12 Basic Education Program (D.O. # 8, s. 2015)
11. THEORETICAL BASIS
classroom assessment is a joint process that involves both teachers and learners. it is an
integral part of teaching and learning. teachers provide appropriate assessment when they aim to
holistically measure learners' current and developing abilities while enabling them to take
responsibility in the process. this view recognizes the diversity of learners inside the classroom,
the need for multiple ways of measuring their varying abilities and learning potentials, and the
role of learners as co-participants in the assessment process.

at the heart of this assessment framework is the recognition and deliberate consideration of the
learners' zone of proximal development (vygotsky 1978). appropriate assessment is committed to
ensure learners' success in moving from guided to independent display of knowledge,
understanding, and skills, and to enable them to transfer this successfully in future situations. from
this point of view, assessment facilitates the development of learners' higher-order thinking and
21st-century skills.

this view of assessment, therefore, acknowledges the unity of instruction and assessment.
assessment is part of day-to-day lessons and extends the day-to-day classroom activities that are
already in place in the k to 12 curriculum.

30. Learning Standards
-Teachers of any educational setting should ensure that the
learning standards are in place and adequately identified.
To make up a more comprehensive and feasible learning
standard, then it should be composed of the content and
performance standards.
31. Learning Standards
-Teachers of any educational setting should ensure that the
learning standards are in place and adequately identified.
To make up a more comprehensive and feasible learning
standard, then it should be composed of the content and
performance standards.
-Assessment in the classroom is aimed at helping students
perform well in relation to the learning standards(DepEd
Order No. 8, S. 2015)
33. CONTENT STANDARDS
-Standards for content selection are actions related to educational processes and practices for
instruction and assessment.
34. CONTENT STANDARDS
-Standards for content selection are actions related to educational processes and practices for
instruction and assessment.
-The effort aims to deliver contents or topics in such a way that topics are generally the same
across all parts of the locality but can be modified into a local context without changing the
curriculum's aim.

curriculum's aim.
-The selection of contents or lessons is very vital to the attainment of learning outcomes. content
standards were constructed to increase students' success by recognizing the knowledge, ideas, and
skills that students should get at each grade level. content standardization leads to assessment
standardization.

-The selection of contents or lessons is very vital to the attainment of learning outcomes. content
standards were constructed to increase students' success by recognizing the knowledge, ideas, and
skills that students should get at each grade level. content standardization leads to assessment
standardization.
-Content standards identify and set the essential knowledge and understanding that should be
learned. they cover a specified scope of sequential topics within each learning strand, domain,
theme, or component. content standards answer the question,
"What should the learners know?"(DepEd Order No. 8, S. 2015)
38. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
-The standards are written to support and promote specific desirable learners'
behaviors in a particular task. in teaching and learning, the basis for standards is
the attainment of minimum competencies required by the course learning
outcomes.
39. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
-The standards are written to support and promote specific desirable learners'
behaviors in a particular task. in teaching and learning, the basis for standards is
the attainment of minimum competencies required by the course learning
outcomes.
-performance standards are the teacher's definitive guide and the learner regarding
what has to be acted and carried out required by the competencies in the target
learning outcomes. teachers should see to it that any assessment instrument's
creation should agree with the targeted standards of the performance.
40. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

-performance standards are the teacher's definitive guide and the learner regarding
what has to be acted and carried out required by the competencies in the target
learning outcomes. teachers should see to it that any assessment instrument's
creation should agree with the targeted standards of the performance.
-performance standards describe the that learners are expected to demonstrate in relation to the
content standards and in abilities and skills integration of 21st-century skills. the integration of
knowledge, understanding, and skills is expressed through creation, innovation, and adding value
to products/ performance during independent work or in collaboration with others. ?"(DepEd Order
No. 8, S. 2015)
41. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS ANSWER THE
FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
"What can learners do with what they know?"
"How well must learners do their work?"
"How well do learners use their learning or understanding in different
situations?"
"How do learners apply their learning or understanding in real-life
contexts?"
"What tools and measures should learners use to demonstrate what
they. (DepEd Order No. 8, S. 2015)
42. In summary
-the content standard adds to the teaching technique that students
should know and do. it provides the most meaningful and stable
learning, topics, principles, skills, and ways of thinking.
-performance standards give the teacher a hint of how well the
students have to do their job. it also offers product or
performance as proof of learning or achievement of the standard
of content.
44. Characteristics of Objectives (SMARTER)
SMART OBJECTIVES ARE DEFINED AS ESTABLISHED GOALS AND OBJECTIVES WITHIN BY
PARAMETERS THAT COMBINE STRUCTURE AND FLEXIBILITY. THE SMART SETTING OF
TARGETS PROVIDES A DEMONSTRABLE SETUP TOWARD A SPECIFIC TARGET WITH
DEPENDABLE OBJECTIVES AND AN ESTIMATED TIMETABLE TO ATTAIN THE GOALS.

83. Matching Type Items
the matching test item format requires learners to match a
word, sentence or phrase in one column to a corresponding
word, sentence or phrase in second. column. it is most
appropriate when you need to measure the learner’s ability
to identify the relationship or association between similar
items. however, it is not suited for gauging the learners’
higher understanding (analysis and synthesis levels). it can
only be used to assess homogeneous knowledge.
84. The following are some guidelines in writing good and effective
matching type tests:
1. include homogenous premises and responses in a single matching exercise
2. clearly indicate in the directions the basis for matching where answers should be
written, and if responses or answer choices can be used more than once. 48
3. keep the list relatively short. the ideal number of items is 5 to 10, and a
maximum of 15.
4. arrange premises and responses with maximum clarity. it is desirable to use
longer statements as premises and numbered at the left of the page. the shorter
responses are placed at the right and each identified with letters.
5. have more responses or answer choices than premises. this will reduce guessing
and using the process of elimination in choosing the correct answer.
6. place all the premises and responses on a single page
85. The following are some guidelines in writing good and
effective matching type tests:

CONCERENED WITH THE RELATION OF TEST SCORES TO
THE PERFORMNCE AT SOME FUTURE TIME.
A. CURRICULAR VALIDITY
B. CRITERION VALIDITY
C. CONTENT VALIDITY
D. PREDICTIVE VALIDITY
89. Factors Affecting the Validity of a Test Item
1. THE TEST ITSELF,
2. THE ADMINISTRATION AND SCORING OF A TEST
3. PERSONAL FACTORS INFLUENCING HOW STUDENTS
RESPONSE TO THE TEST
4. VALIDITY IS ALWAYS SPECIFIC TO A PARTICULAR
GROUP.
90. Factors that Reduce the Validity of the Test Item
POORLY CONSTRUCTED TEST ITEMS
UNCLEAR DIRECTIONS
AMBIGUOUS ITEMS
VERY DIFFICULT VOCABULARY
COMPLICATED SYNTAX / SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION
INADEQUATE TIME LIMIT
INAPPROPRIATE LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY
UNINTENDED CLUES
IMPROPER ARRANGEMENT OF ITEMS
91. RELIABILITY OF A TEST
CONSISTENCY OF MEASUREMENT
USED TO PREDICT PRACTICALLY THE SAME SCORES
WHEN TEST ADMINISTERED TWICE TO THE SAME
GROUP OF STUDENTS AND WITH A RELIABILITY INDEX
OF 0.50 OR ABOVE.
92. Factors Affecting the Reliability of a Test
LENGTH OF THE TEST
ITEM DIFFICULTY
ITEM DISCRIMINATION
OBJECTIVE SCORING
SPREAD OF THE SCORE
TIME LIMIT
93. Four Methods of Establishing Reliability
TEST-RETEST METHOD
EQUIVALENT-FORM METHOD
SPLIT-HALF METHOD
94. ITEM ANALYSIS
process of examining the student’s responses to each item in
the test
desirable and undesirable
item analysis after drafting objective test items and
administering it, how do you determine if the test items are
properly constructed as to degree of difficulty? how do you
set apart students who excel well on the overall test, and those
who do not? an item analysis, as a valuable procedure, can
easily provide the teachers with answers to both questions.
95. Criteria in determining the desirability and
undesirability of an item.
A. DIFFICULTY OF AN ITEM.
B. DISCRIMINATING POWER OF AN
ITEM.
C. MEASURE OF ATTRACTIVENESS
96. Difficulty index
REFERS TO THE PROPORTION OF THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS IN THE UPPER AND LOWER GROUPS WHO
ANSWERED AN ITEM CORRECTLY.
THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ANSWER A PARTICULAR
TEST ITEM CORRECTLY.
97. Difficulty index
Level of Difficulty of an Item
Index Range Difficulty Level
0.00-0.20 Very difficult /reject
0.21-0.40 Difficult/revise
0.41-0.60 Moderately Difficult/retain
0.61-0.80 Easy/revise
0.81-1.00 Very Easy/reject
98. Index of Discrimination
DISCRIMINATION INDEX IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE PROPORTION OF HIGH PERFORMING STUDENTS WHO
GOT THE ITEM AND THE PROPORTION OF LOW PERFORMING
STUDENTS WHO GOT AN ITEM RIGHT.
Discrimination Index Item Evaluation
0.40 and up Very good item
0.30-0.39 Reasonably good item but possibly subject
to improvement
0.20-0.29 Marginal, usually needing and being
subject to improvement
Below 0.19 Poor Item, to be rejected
99. Index of Discrimination
DISCRIMINATION INDEX IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
THE PROPORTION OF HIGH PERFORMING STUDENTS WHO
GOT THE ITEM AND THE PROPORTION OF LOW PERFORMING
STUDENTS WHO GOT AN ITEM RIGHT.
Discrimination Index Item Evaluation
0.40 and up Very good item/retain
0.30-0.39 Reasonably good item but possibly subject to
improvement
0.20-0.29 Marginal, usually needing and being subject to
improvement
Below 0.19 Poor Item, to be rejected
100. Index of Discrimination
INTERPRETATION:
POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION – MORE FROM THE UPPER
GROUP ANSWER THE ITEM CORRECTLY.
NEGATIVE DISCRIMINATION – MORE FROM THE LOWER
GROUP ANSWER THE ITEM CORRECTLY.
ZERO DISCRIMINATION – UPPER GROUP AND LOWER
GROUP HAVE ANSWER EQUALLY THE ITEM CORRECTLY.
101. Measures of Attractiveness
-TO MEASURE THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF THE INCORRECT OPTION
(DISTRACTERS) IN MULTIPLE-CHOICE TESTS, WE COUNT THE
NUMBER IF STUDENTS WHO SELECTED THE INCORRECT OPTION IN
BOTH UPPER AND LOWER GROUPS.
-THE INCORRECT OPTION IS SAID TO BE EFFECTIVE DISTRACTER IF
THERE ARE MORE STUDENTS IN THE LOWER GROUP CHOSE THAT
INCORRECT OPTION THAN THOSE STUDENTS IN THE UPPER GROUP.
