foundational element of learning
and a fundamental principle of all
academic institutions.

• Academic dishonesty is defined as any conduct
that obstructs the evaluation of a learner’s progress
by misrepresenting the work being assessed and
evaluated, as well as the learner’s actual knowledge
(www.wpi.ed)
Reminder ni Dr. JDC (1)
“ Walang MAPAPALA sa PANDARAYA. Walang kahulugan
ang KARUNUGAN kung ito ay walang KATAPATAN.”

6. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
1. Cheating - defined as unauthorized use of
information, materials, devices, sources, or
practices in completing academic activities.
Fast talk!
- What can you do to lessen cheating
among learners?

7. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
2. Plagiarism - a form of cheating in which
someone takes another person’s ideas, words,
design, art, music, or other woks and passes
them off as their own without acknowledging the
source or, if necessary, seeking permission from
the author.
Reminder ni Dr. JDC (2)
Walang taste, ang tanong panay ang
“copy-paste.”

8. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
Reminder ni Dr. JDC (3)
Teach learners to cite their sources of
information
Wag aangkinin ang mga bagay na hindi
sa inyo. Marunong magpaalam sa tunay
na nagmamay ari. Ang pang-aagaw
(pagnanakaw) ay isang krimen!

9. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
3. FABRICATION OR FALSIFICATION
-involves the unauthorized creation or change
of information in an academic work or
activity.
Example: artificially creating data when it
should be collected from an actual experiment
or inventing a source information that does
not exist

10. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
4. SABOTAGE
-the act of interfering with or damaging
another person’s work to prevent that person
from successfully completing an academic
task.
Example: Destroying someone else’s artwork,
experiment, or design; failure to contribute as
required to a team project

11. Forms of Academic Dishonesty
5. CONTRACT CHEATING
• another form of academic dishonesty, which may
happen in any of the following situations (Gorenko,
2020)
1. unpaid assistance from friends or family members
to complete the work in place of the learners
2. a paper that has been taken from a free essay
website and is being used as the learner’s own work
3. an academic assignment done for a fee by a third–
party service

12. Challengesin New Normal Education
As self-directed learning materials, the self-
learning modules (SLMs) are given to learners to
allow them to manage their learning through the
different formative assessments. Although these
are not graded and used to monitor learning
progress and prepare learners for summative
assessments, cheating on the answers to the
SLMs has become prevalent online.

13. Challengesin New Normal Education
While the SLMs have key to correction, as
an inherent feature of self-instructional
materials, it is intended to be used to cheat
and bypass authentic learning. Regardless
of the design of the SLMs and the extent of
freedom in the online space, cheating cannot
be justified under any circumstance.

14. Challengesin New Normal Education
Reminder ni Dr. JDC (3)
Hindi dahilan ang pandemya para mangopya. Higit kailanman
ito ang tamang panahon para matuto ang mga minamahal
nating kabataan.
Remember:
• THERE IS NO LEARNING IN CHEATING!
• NEVER COMPROMISE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION!

15. Actionsneeded to be taken
1. Conduct orientation with parents to raise
awareness on the existence of FB pages that
promote cheating
2. Ensure proactive transparency of the assessment
and grading system to parents and learners
3. Monitor the learner’s ouput and warn them against
in any online cheating platform.

16. Actionsneeded to be taken
4. Encourage teachers to write up a contract
about academic dishonesty and explain the
contents to the learners and parents and have
them both sign the contract.
5. Develop Self-learning Activities (SLAs) or the
Learning Activity Sheets (LAS) that require
learners to analyze information, craft creative
presentations , or explain their thinking.

17. Actionsneeded to be taken
6. Incorporate other assessment schemes, such as:
– Doing an online assessment during class
– Creating multiple versions of tests
– Randomizing test items for student to work on,
– Presenting questions just once to avoid
retracting of previous answers, and
– Using peer feedback or allowing learners to
assess each other’s work.

18. Actionsneeded to be taken
7. Intensify academic consultations through
any available modes of communications, such
as online, call, text , and others, these are
proactive not punitive, strategies.

19. Q andA
1. What will you do if you prove that your
learners cheat in your subject?
2. Being a student-teacher, what can you
advise to your learners to avoid the
temptation of cheating?

20. Assessment

21. ProfessionalEducation101
1. Assessment should be holistic and authentic in capturing the
attainment of most essential learning competencies;
2. Assessment is integral for understanding student learning and
development
3. A variety of assessment strategies is necessary, with formative
assessment taking priority to inform teaching and promote
growth and mastery.
4. Assessment and feedback should be a shared responsibility
among teachers, learners, and their families; and
5. Assessment and grading should have a positive impact on
learning.

22. ProfessionalEducation101
Instruction and Assessment
must always be connected.
Reminder ni Dr. JDC (4)
Wag na wag magpapa exam ng mga bagay na hindi
naituro.
Ituro ang tama, ituro ang nararapat.

23. Changes in Assessment
D.O 8, S.2015 D.O 31, S.2020

24. Changes in Assessment
D.O 8, S.2015 D.O 31, S.2020

25. Changes in Assessment
Before (D.0 8, s. 2015)
• There is no required number of written works and
performance tasks.
Now (D.0 31, s. 2020)
• Minimum of four (4) performance tasks and written
works within a quarter.
• All competencies should be covered by the
performance task (preferably it is being integrated in
other subject).
• Students’ portfolio, self-reflection, and self-evaluation
in the modules are recommended outputs.

26. Changes in Assessment
Now (D.0 31, s. 2020)
• Teachers should give feedback in learners’
assessment in ANY available
communication options (chat, sms, email,
etc.). Teachers should ensure that
learners received a remediation. This may
prevent failing in any learning area.

27. Q andA
1. What do you think are the
challenges/issues or needs of teachers
related to assessment of learning?
2. How can you make assessment of learning
interactive even in distance learning?

28. Remember!
• Be MAD (Make A Difference!)
• Think outside the box
• You are the leader in your own
classroom.
• Be a teacher that we wish you had.
• Pray!

29. Remember!
“No technology can ever compensate for
teachers’ ineptitude. Ang boring na
teacher, ang hindi-nagpe-prepare na
teacher, ang teacher na hindi mahal ang
ginagawa niya, face-to-face man o
online, walang mababago.”
