The document discusses domains of objectives that can be used to construct teacher-made tests. It describes the cognitive, psychomotor, and affective domains. The cognitive domain includes knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. The psychomotor domain includes perception, set readiness, guided response, mechanism, complex overt response, adaptation, and origination. The affective domain includes receiving, responding, valuing, organizing values, and characterization by values. Sample behavioral terms and objectives are provided for each domain to illustrate how they can be used to develop test questions that assess students' learning.

Weighted mean is the statistical tool used to determine the extent of
practice of spirituality among the students. The formula is as follows:
∑fx
∑f
where:
X =
X = Weighted mean
∑fx = Sum of the product of f and x where f is the frequency and x, weight
∑f = Sum of frequency or number of cases
