explain the meaning of the term assessment;
compare diagnostic, formative, and summative
assessment strategies; and
observe how teachers use different
assessment strategies inside the class.
Assessment is as old as education itself (Mitchell 1992).
Every day, teachers assess their students to ensure the quality of
instruction. This lesson will guide you in understanding the proper
procedures in designing, organizing, and using appropriate
assessment strategies. The objectives of this lesson are the
following:
4. As defined in DepEd Order No. 8, series of 2015,
assessment is a continuous process of identifying,
gathering, organizing, and interpreting quantitative and
qualitative information about what learners know and
can do. Indeed, the objective and subjective information
accumulated from various assessments is valuable. In
designing and utilizing an assessment strategy, the
teacher must know the purpose of assessment.
Education Theory
5. 1. Diagnostic assessment - is given at the beginning of the school year or at the
beginning of a new unit of study. This assessment strategy attempts to quantify
what students already know about a topic.
2. Formative assessment - is given throughout the learning process. This
assessment strategy seeks to determine how students are progressing through a
certain learning goal.
3. Summative assessment - is given at the end of the year or unit. This
assessment strategy assesses the students' mastery of a topic after instruction.
There are three ways to assess students' learning
according to purpose (edudemic.com):
6. Through the use of various assessment strategies
in our learning episodes, that we hone not only the
cognitive domain but also the affective and
psychomotor domains, which will result in the
holistic learning and development of the students.
8. Objectives:
1 discuss the meaning of monitoring the
learners' progress;

2
observe how the teacher monitors
students' progress in class; and
observe how the teacher evaluates the
learners' achievement.
9. Continuous monitoring of the students' progress
inside the classroom has many benefits. By doing this,
teachers collect useful data, improve instruction, ensure
achievement of every learner, and identify students at
risk.
"Monitoring" is viewed by Cotton (1988) as
activities pursued by the teacher to keep track of student
learning for purposes of making instructional decisions
and providing feedback to students on their progress.
Education Theory
10. questioning students during classroom discussions to
check their understanding of the material being taught;
Teachers carefully monitor the students' learning
and progress through the following:
going around the classroom during seatwork and
engaging in one-on-one contact with students about their
work;
assigning, collecting, and correcting homework and
recording grades;
11. conducting periodic reviews with students to confirm
their grasp of the learning material and identify gaps in
their knowledge and understanding;
administering and correcting tests and recording scores;
and
reviewing student performance data and using these data
to make the needed adjustments in instruction.
12. In addition, Gutierrez (2007) believes that if the
instruction is satisfactory and acceptable, the teacher can
proceed to the next instructional objective. If the result of
instruction is unsatisfactory or unacceptable, he or she has
to reteach the same lesson using different strategies and
materials. On the next page is the goal-oriented
instructional model (GOIM) that teachers use as a
reference in monitoring the students' learning.

14. Every learner’s achievement should be given worth and value.
The DepEd Order No. 36, series of 2016, reorganizes that all students
have their unique strengths that need to be identified , strengthened, and
publicly acknowledged. The table below shows the academic excellence
awards given to lerners who meet the following cutoff grades.

16. Learning is a two-way process. The teacher and the students both
learn during and after the instruction through feedback. This lesson will
guide you in understanding the importance of providing constructive
feedback in developing the students' learning and achievement. The
objectives of this lesson are the following:
1. discuss how constructive feedback improve students' learning:
2. critique teacher's feedback on a sample student work; and
3. observe how teachers give feedback to students' performance.

Education Theory
Indeed, it is important that the teacher
encourages and supports each student by giving
constructive feedback. Feedback can be given as a
mark or grade, comments, or a mixture of the two.
You will know that if a mark is given, then it is
perhaps the first and only thing that is looked at.
The comments take time to write, but should be of
much greater benefit to the student in terms of
future improvements (Reece and Walker 2003).
18. Moreover, the learners must be given feedback about their
performance. Feedback must be specific. "Good work!" is a positive
feedback and is welcome but actually is not a very good feedback since it is
not specific (Corpuz 2015). A better and more specific feedback includes
written observations and comments of the teacher on how the learners can
improve their works. The following is a checklist for giving feedback to
students (Gibbs et al. 1986):
1. Keep the time short between the student writing and the feedback. Where
possible, make feedback instantaneous.
2. Substantiate a grade or mark with comments both in the text for specific
aspects and with a summary at the end.
19. PPT下载 http://www.1ppt.com/xiazai/
3. Balance negative comments with positive ones and ensure that
negative ones are constructive.
4. Follow-up written comments with oral feedback and aim for a
dialogue.
5. Make the criteria clear to students when setting the work and give
them written criteria where possible.
6. Make further suggestions to further develop ideas.
7. Give periodic oral feedback on rough drafts.

Lack of time is one of the biggest challenges that
teachers face on a regular basis and this especially
impacts feedback opportunities. You may know exactly
what you want to tell your students about their work,
but with time constraints and a potentially high volume
of students, it can be difficult to give them the
feedback they need. With this in mind, make it your
goal to work smarter, not harder. Do not try to spend
more time than you already do on feedback. Instead,
make the effort to optimize your time.

Effective communication of assessment results is one of the
essential components of assessment principles. This lesson will guide you
in understanding how to properly communicate the needs, progress, and
achievement of the students to their parents. The objectives of thislesson
are the following:
discuss the essence of communicating the students' needs to
their parents;
write a narrative report of a parent-teacher conference; and
explain how the teacher communicates the students'
achievement.
23. PPT下载 http://www.1ppt.com/xiazai/
Learning will not be successful without the help and
cooperation of the key stakeholders, the parents or
guardians. According to the Code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers, every teacher shall inform the parents, through
proper authorities, about the progress and deficiencies of the
learners under him, exercising utmost candor and tact in
pointing out the learners deficiencies and in seeking the
parents' cooperation for the proper guidance and
improvement of the learners.
24. In DepEd Order 8, series of 2015, the
summary of the learner's progress is shown
quarterly to the parents or guardians through a
parent-teacher conference, in which the report
card is being discussed. A parent-teacher
conference (PTC) is conducted every grading
period to ensure the effective communication of
the learners' needs and progress to the key
stakeholders.
25. Descriptor Grading Scale Remark
Outstanding 90 - 100 Passed
Very Satisfactory 85 - 89 Passed
Satisfactory 80 - 84 Passed
Firly Satisfactory 75 - 79 Passed
Did not meet
expectation
Below 75 Passed
The table below is used to determine the learners'
progress, which includes the grading scale with the
corresponding descriptor and remark.
26. The prospect of a PTC can arouse intense emotions in both
the teacher and the parent. New teachers can be especially anxious
about meeting parents for the first time. The reality is that most
parents really do want their children to have a positive school
experience and prefer to develop a cooperative home-school
relationship, Professionally conducted PTCs can prove a most
valuable strategy for improving student classroom behavior as well
as enhancing learning (Partin 2005).
Furthermore, the students' achievement can be communicated
to the parents or guardians through recognition programs conducted
by the schools. In DepEd Order 36, series of 2016, the following
awards may be bestowed on the deserving students: classroom
awards, grade-level awards, and special awards.
27. Lesson 5:
Use of Assessment Data to
Enhance Teaching and
Learning Practices and
Programs
28. The effectiveness of the teacher's classroom instruction reflects on the
students' performance. This lesson will guide you in understanding how to
use the qualitative and quantitative data of the students through assessment
to further improve classroom instruction. The objectives of this lesson are
the following:
1. determine the use of assessment data;
2. distinguish how assessment data can help in improving teaching and
learning; and
3. observe how teachers use the qualitative and quantitative data of the
students.
29. E d u c a t i o n a l T h e o r y
The assessment process should not stop after the
final paper has been scored and the last oral presentation
has been evaluated. It is important for teachers to
evaluate each assessment after it has been administered.
Doing so can help teachers interpret the assessment
results more accurately and use those results more
effectively in their instruction (Educational Testing
Service).

31. If assessments provide information for both
students and teachers, then they cannot mark the
end of learning. Instead, assessments must be
followed by high-quality, corrective instruction
designed to remedy whatever learning errors the
assessment has identified (Guskey 1997).
