Episode # 12 dwelt on Assessment for Learning (formative assessment) and Assessment as Learning (self-assessment). These refer to assessment that teachers do while still teaching and students' assessing their own learning. Episode # 13 will be focused on Assessment of Learning. When teachers have done everything, they can to help learners attain the intended learning outcome/s, teachers subject their students to assessment for grading purposes. This is referred to as assessment of learning which is also known as summative assessment. Episode # 13 will be focused on •I) assessment of learning in the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains with the use of traditional and non-traditional assessment tasks and tools, 2) assessment of learning outcomes in the different levels of cognitive taxonomy; 3) construction of assessment items with content validity; 4) Table of Specifications; 5) Portfolio, 6) Scoring Rubrics, 6) The K to 12 Grading System and 7) Reporting Students' Performance. At the end of this Episode, I must be able to demonstrate understanding of the design, selection, organization and use of summative assessment strategies consistent with curriculum requirements by being able to: determine the alignment of assessment tools and tasks with intended learning outcomes; critique traditional and authentic assessment tools and tasks for leaming in the context of established guidelines on test construction; evaluate non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics; examine different types of rubrics used and relate them to assessment of student learning; distinguish among the 3 types of learners' portfolio; evaluate a sample portfolio; construct assessment questions for HOTS following Bloom's Taxonomy as revised by Anderson and Krathwohl and Kendall 's and Marzano's taxonpmy; explain the function of a Table of Specifications; distinguish among types of learners' portfolios and their functions; compute students' grade based on DepEd's grading policy; state the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents; and describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful 158 Field Study C TARGET Your Intended Learning Outcomes Determine alignment of assessment task with learning outcome Formulate assessment task aligned with the learning outcome In accordance with Outcome-Based Teaching-Learning, the learning outcome determines the assessment task. Therefore, the assessment task must necessarily be aligned to the learning outcome. Observe at least 3 classes - 1 Physical or Biological Science or Math, English, Filipino; 1 Social Science or Literature/Panitikan, ESP and 1 P. E / Computer /EPP/ TLE.

Episode 13: Assessment Assessment) of Learning (Summative Field study 159 1. Are all the assessment tasks aligned to the learning outcome? Yes, all the assessment tasks aligned to the learning outcome 2. What are possible consequences if teacher's assessment tasks are not aligned to learning outcome/s? Does this affect assessment results? How? The possible consequence if teacher’s assessment tasks are not aligned to learning outcome/s is it may not be possible to be achieved the class. The effect of assessment results cannot be measure what the studentss learned from the lesson because it was not aligned in the intended learning outcome 3. Why should assessment tasks be aligned to the learning outcomes? The assessment tasks should be aligned to the learning outcomes to attain the objectives of the lesson. And also to have an organized lesson and it will achieve only if the intended learning outcome are aligned in assessment learning process. REFLECT Reflect on past assessments you have been through. Were they all aligned with what your teacher taught (with learning outcomes)? As I reflect on the pats assessment that I had been through, I remember that all assessment that given to us is aligned in the learning outcomes of our teacher. 160 Field Study How did this affect your performance? As a future teacher, what lesson do you learn from this past experience and from this observation? It did not affect my performance because as I remember all the assessment that I received was aligned on the intended learning outcomes of our teacher. I learned that it is important to know and applied the steps in making lesson plan. If we already know the steps on how to make our lesson plan, then it will no longer be difficult for us to make a good intended learning outcomes that aligned to our assessment learning. of Learning (Summative 1.

Assessment FieldStudy 13: of Learning (Summative 165 166 Field study 1 Which assessment tools/tasks were most commonly used by teacher? Which ones were rarely used? Why were they rarely used? In my own opinion commonly assessment tool used by the teacher is essay because it easy for the teacher to measure if his/her students learned from the lesson they discussed. While the rarely used was the matching type because it is commonly used during exams. 2 Based on your answers found in the Tables above in which type of assessment tools and tasks were the Resource Teachers most skilled in test construction? least skilled? NOT OBSERVED 3 Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper-and-pencil test, be considered an authentic form of assessment? Explain your answer. Yes, essay or other written requirements can be considered an authentic form of assessment because we can easily monitor if the students learned from the lesson that discussed earlier. How good are you at constructing traditional assessment tools? Which do you find most diffcult to construct? Any lesson/s learned? I cannot say if how I am good in constructing traditional assessment tools bu in my own experience the most difficult was the constructing a multiple choice. It is difficult because you need to think four choices in every items and it’s time consuming. LINK Theory to Practice Here is the learning outcome of this Activity: Critique traditional tools and tasks for learning in the context of established guidelines on test construction. l. Which assessment task is aligned to the learning outcome given above? A. True-False test — An assessment task must be Aligned to the learning outcome. B. Column 1 presents the learning outcomes.

Implausible 168 Field study Activity 13.3 Observing the Use of Non-traditional Assessment Tools and Scoring Rubrics Resource Teacher: non-traditional assessment tools including scoring rubrics There are learning outcomes that cannot be assessed by traditional assessment tools. • Authentic/non-traditional /alternative assessment tools measure learning outcomes like performance and product. • These performance task and product are assessed by the use of scoring rubric. A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student's work that includes descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria. (Brookhart, 2013) • • The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products. • • • For diagnostic purposes, the analytic rubric is more appropriate. There are two types of rubrics - analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole. For a holistic view of a product or performance, the holistic rubric will do. A good scoring rubric contains the criteria against which the product or performance is rated, the rating scale and a description of the levels of performance. Observe classes in at least 3 different subjects and pay particular attention to the assessment tool used by the teacher. • • • • With teacher's permission, secure a copy of the assessment tool. Study the assessment tool then accomplish Observation Sheet. Did your Resource Teacher explain the rubric to the students? Which type of rubric did the Resource Teacher use - analytic or holistic? 170 Field study Analyze 1. Between analytic and holistic rubrics which one was more used? Why do you think that type of rubric was used more? I think the more used rubrics was the analytic because it measures the different aspects of the performance in every performer/learner. 2. Based on your answers in #1, what can you say about the scoring rubrics made and used by the Resource Teachers? The scoring rubrics made and used by the Resource Teachers was appropriate to the lesson that they discussed in the class. The teacher explained to her students what is needed to be achieve in their activities. 3. Will it make a difference in assessment of student work if teacher would rate the product or performance without scoring rubrics? Explain. Yes, it will make difference in assessment of student work if there is no rubrics. Because if the teacher gives a performance task without any rubric then the students are didn’t know what they were going to do their project. Maybe they can just make a performance task for the sake of grade not to get a high grades. 4. If you were to improve on one scoring rubric used, which one and how? For me, there is no need to improve of the scoring rubric because I saw that it is aligned to the given performance by the teacher. 5. Can an essay or other written requirements, even if it is a written paper-and-pencil test, be considered an authentic form of assessment? Explain answer. Yes, essay or other written requirements can be considered an authentic form of assessment because we can easily monitor if the students learned from the lesson that discussed earlier. 6. Can rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent learners? Do rubrics contribute to assessment AS learning (self-assessment)? what if there were no rubrics in assessment? Yes, rubrics make students to become an independent learners because it help them to recognize their goal in making performance task. In the other hand, rubrics also had contribute to assessment as learning because students can checked themselves if they already achieved the criteria given by their teacher. 7. Does the Scoring Rubric in this FS Book 1 help you come up with better output? Yes, the scoring rubrics in FS 1 help me to come up with a better output because I always consider this rubric while answering the activities in my FS 1 book. REFLECT Are authentic assessment tools and tasks new? Reflect on your experiences of tests for all the years as a student. In my own experience the assessment tools and task are new because we are the product of K-12. We all know that K-12 curriculum are very different from the old. As I recall when I was in my elementary and high school all the test that they gave to us is more on memorization but now when I was senior high school the test that given to us is required an higher order thinking because it’s more on application and not only remembering Show Your Learning Artifacts Accomplished Observation Sheet Observations Reflection A photo of a product assessed and a documented performance test Samples of scoring rubrics used by Resource Teachers one rubric to assess a particular product and another rubric to assess a particular performance together with your comment/s and improved version/s, if necessary. 172 Field study 1.

Written test-illustrating the steps Activity 13.4 Scrutinizing the Types and Parts of a Portfolio Resource Teacher: School: Date: A portfolio is a purposeful collection of selective significant samples of student work accompanied by clear criteria for performance which prove student effort, progress or achievement in a given area or course. A portfolio of student's work is a direct evidence of learning. But it is not a mere collection of student's work. The student's reflection must accompany each output or work. A portfolio is different from a work folder, which is simply a receptacle for all work, with no purpose to the collection. A portfolio is an intentional collection of work guided by learning objectives. Effective portfolio systems are characterized by a clear picture of the student skills to be addressed, student involvement in selecting what goes into the portfolio, use of criteria to define quality performance as a basis for communication, and self-reflection through which students share what they think and feel about their work, their learning and about themselves. There are several types of portfolio depending on purpose. They are: 1) development or growth portfolio, 2) best work or showcase or display portfolio, and 3) assessment / evaluation portfolio. 174 Field study 1. Ask your Resource Teacher for samples of portfolio, if any. If there are, select one best portfolio from what you examined. 2. If research for a sample portfolio and include them in My Learning Artifacts. 3. Based on the sample portfolio given by your Resource Teacher/researched by you, accomplish Observation Sheet # 4. Put a check in the right column. Summative Assessment Learning Episode 13: Assessment of Leamlng What a Portfolio Includes Elements of a Present? Portfolio 1.

Explicit guidelines for selection What, when, where, how are products/documented performances selected? 3. Comprehensible criteria- the criteria against which the portfolio is graded must be understood by the learners 4. Selective significant pieces - The portfolio includes only the selected significant materials. 5. Student's reflection - There is evidence that students reflected on their learning. 6. Evidence of student participation in selection of content of portfolio There is proof that students took part in the selection of the content of the portfolio. Field Study 175 Missing? l.

Which cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions? lowest number? The cognitive skill had the highest number of assessment questions is remembering because the type of those questions are the way to checked the teacher if his/her students has recall their lessons that they discussed. The lowest number is sixteen 2. What do these (lowest and highest number of assessment questions) reveal about Resource Teacher's level of questions? Base on the lowest and highest number of assessment questions that made by the Resource Teacher, it reveals the level of questions balance because it’s based on remembering and analyzing. Remembering, where the students will recall only on what they discussed on their past lesson and analyzing because students required to use their higher order thinking skills just to analyze the correct answer. 3. Based on Kendall's and Marzano's taxonomy, which are the highest cognitive skills? Give an example of an assessment question for each of the two highest cognitive skillsmetacognitive skills and self-system thinking. Based on Kendall’s and Marzano’s taxonomy, the highest cognitive skills is retrieval wherein it is all about recalling the lesson from permanent memory. If you were to rate yourself on HOTS - where will you be from a scale of 1 to 5 (5 as highest) where will you be? If I’m going to rate my HOTS, I will rate myself on a scale of 3 because I know myself that I need to learn more to develop my HOTS. For now, I’m working on it to achieve the highest scale of HOTS because as a future. As future teacher, reflect on how will you contribute to the development of learners’ HOTS? As a future teacher I will contribute to the development of my learner’s HOTS by giving them a fair question in their exams or quizzes. I will always use the cognitive skills of Bloom’s Taxonomy to distribute properly the questions. And also, I’m going to allow my students to share their knowledge and connect it to real-life situation during our discussion so that they will develop their skills in problem solving. 188 EVALUATE Performance Task Your Work Task Field study 1, Episode 13 - Assessment OF Learning (Summative Assessment) Taxonomy • Of • assessment questions • describe what must be done to make grade Name of FS reporting Of Student learning; • co;npute students' grade based on Student DepEd's grading boficy•, • state reason(s) grades must be reported b Year & Section: Date Submitted: Learning Episode Accomplished Observation Sheet Excellent 4 All observation questions/tasks completely answered/ accomplished.

What parts must a TOS contain to ensure test content validity? To ensure the test content validity, a TOS must contain the equal distribution of questions in every item of cognitive level. 2. Why is there a need for number of items per cognitive level? To maintain the fairness of questions in every cognitive level and also to be fair in every student. 3. With OBE in mind, is it correct to put learning outcome not topic in the first column? Why or why not? In my opinion, it is important to put first the learning outcomes because it is need to consider the output of students. 4. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS? Yes, the teacher can have a test question with content validity even without making TOS but it is not reliable. Episode 13: Assessmentof REFLECT Read this conversation and reflect on teachers’ assessment practices. Write you reflections here. Student A: Saan naman pinulot ni Teacher ang kaniyang tanong? Ni-isang tanong sa tinuro, wala! (Where did Teacher get her test? Not one of what she taught came out!) Student B: Oo nga! Nakakainis! (You are right! How annoying!) Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it. Will the required use of Table of Specifications as guide in test construction solve the problem of misaligned tests? Yes, I had the same experience, during my high school days I experienced during exams that there are some questions that are not connected to the lesson which teacher discussed. So to finish the exam I just answered it by my stock knowledge without knowing if it is correct or not. In this case, maybe the teacher did not make a TOS for the basis of making his/her test questions. 194 Field Study Sheet Analysis Reflection Completed Sample TOS 1. In Teacher R's Table of •Specifications (TOS), 60 percent of the 1st grading test items are applying questions based on Bloom's taxonomy.

Refer to Appendix A for more details. The latest grading system in basic education includes students' performance in written tests and performance tasks, with emphasis on the latter. The quarterly exam may be a combination of written test and performance task. 196 Field Study A. Sample Students' Report Card l. Secure a sample of a Students' Report Card from your Resource Teacher. 2. Study a sample of an unused Student's Report Card. Observe its contents. 3 Ask permission from your Resource Teacher for an interview with him/her and with a group students regarding the new grading system. B. Interview of Resource Teacher 1. What are the new features of the latest grading system? What things are you required to do with this new grading system which you were not asked before? According to my resource teacher, the new grading system is favor to the students because it is no longer zero based while the teacher it’s favor too because they were able to come up with the grades that are suitable in every students performance 2. Which do you prefer - the old or the new grading system? Why? According to my resource teacher, she preferred the new grading system because it is not hassle for them because they use an electronic grading system C. Interview of 5 Students 1. What do you like in the new grading system? The most they like in the new grading system is that no longer zero based. Because of that there is no chance that they get a failing grade as long as they will study as they can. 2. Do you have problems with the new grading system. If there is, what? They have no problems in the new grading system because it is favor to all of them. 3. Does the new grading system give you a better picture of your performance? Why or why not? According to them it’s a yes, the new grading system gives a better picture of their performance because they are not worrying about failing grades because as they mentioned it is no longer zero based. 4. Which do you prefer - the old or the new grading system? Why? They preferred the new grading system because it give them a chance to get higher grades than before. D. Review of DepEd Order # 8, s. 2015 Read DepEd Order # 8 s. 2015. You may refer to Appendix A. Based on DepEd Order 8, s. 2015, answer the following . Episode 13: Assessment of l. What are the bases for grading? All grades will be based on the weighted raw score of the learners' summative assessments. The minimum grade needed to pass a specific learning area is 60, which is transmuted to 75 in the report card. The lowest mark that can appear on the report card is 60 for Quarterly Grades and Final Grades 2. How do you compute grades per quarter for Grades 1 to 10 and Grades Il to 12? Give an example. In a grading period, there is one Quarterly Assessment but there should be instances for students to produce Written Work and to demonstrate what they know and can do through Performance Tasks. There is no required number of Written Work and Performance Tasks, but these must be spread out over the quarter and used to assess learners’ skills after each unit has been taught. 3. How do you compute grades at the end of the school year? According to my resource teacher, she will going to sum up the quarterly grades of her students from first to fourth grading to compute the final grades of every students in different subject. 4. What descriptors and grading scale are used in reporting progress of learners? The learners report card 5. What are the bases for learners’ promotion and retention at the end of the school year? The bases for learners’ promotion is when the students gets a higher grades after computing the overall of her grades from 1st to last quarter but if he/she got a below 74 grade then he’s/she’s not going to promote. 6. What is the report on learners’ observed values? The report on learners’ observed values will depend on the behavior of every students inside or outside of the classroom. E. Grade Computation Show sample computations of a grade: 198 In a subject of you choice from Grades 1 to 6 (if you are a future elementary teacher) In your specialization (if you are a high school teacher) Show the percentage contributions of written work, performance tasks an quarterly assessment. Then give the descriptor. Refer to DepEd Order #8 s. 2015. Field Study Spmg Analyze data and information gathered from the interview and from your review of an Student's Report Card and the DepEd grading system. 1. Do teachers and students like the new grading system? Why or why not? As I interviewed both students and teachers is look like they want the new grading system because for the teacher it is easy to them in computing their grades because they used an electronic grading system. While the students, it is favor to them because it easy to them to achieve their goals which is getting a high grades. 2. What are the good points of the new grading system according to teachers? According to students? For the teacher, he/she don’t have any reason to failed the students that have low performance and for the students they had a small chance to get failed grades because of the new grading system. 3. What are teachers challenged to do by this new grading system? The teacher challenges by giving a corresponding point to his/her students even the answer is not really connected to the question given by the teacher. Because of the new grading system is when the student got 60 grade that will be equal to 75. 4. Do you favor the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and quarterly assessment? Yes I am favor on the distribution of percentages of written work, performance tasks and quarterly assessment but it depends on the subjects. 5. Did you like the experience of computing grades? Why or why not? In an era where the emphasis is self-directed learning and demonstration of competencies - knowledge, skills and values learned (outcomes-based education)- do grades really matter? yar & Section: Course: #isode 13: Assessment of (Summative Assessment) Learning Episode Excellent 4 Accomplished Observation Sheet Analysis Reflection Leaming Artifacts All observation questions/tasks completely answered/ accomplished.

Grades are a measure of achievement, not necessarily IQ. A student may have high IQ but not necessarily achieving or performing because of lack of motivation or other factors. Proceedings in a Card Distribution Day 1. Observe how cards are distributed on Card Distribution Day. Describe how cards are distributed. Not Observed. 2. Describe how the Resource Teachers communicated learners' assessment results and grades to parents. Not Observed. 3. Did parents raise questions or concerns? If yes, what were their questions/concerns? Not Observed. 4. How did the Resource Teacher handle their questions and concerns? What answers did he/ she give? Not Observed. Interview with Resource Teacher 1. How do you give feedback to your students regarding their performance? When do you give feedback? The resource teacher give feedback to the learner about their performance before she going to compute their grade so that the students will be aware if they have missed quizzes of projects incomplete. Teachers always remind those students because it will affect their grades if they did not complete all their misses in their academic performance. 204 Field Study 2. How do you report students’ performance to parents? Does the school have their regular way of reporting grades to parents? According to my resource teacher, she report her student’s performance by having a short meeting their parents. 3. What problems on grade reporting did you encounter with parents? How did you address it/them? Not observed Interview with Students I. Do you see the meaning of your grades in the School Report Card? Yes, if it is high then I conclude that I study hard to get high grades but if it is low maybe I have something missed projects 2. Does knowing your grade motivate you to work harder? Yes, because the higher the grades I got it will motivate me to study hard. Interview with Parents Does your child's Report Card give you a clear picture of how your child is performing? Yes, if I saw the report card of my children I already know how her performance in the school 2• If you were asked what else should be found in the Report Card, which one? Why? For me, there is no need to added on the report card because its all enough to see the performance of every students. 3• DO you find the Card Distribution Day important? Why or why not? Yes, card distribution is important because this is the only way to monitor the performance of my children. 4• Any suggestion on how to make card Distribution more meaningful? I don’t have any suggestion about the distribution of card because teachers did it in a proper way. I. What were the most common issues raised on students' performance? The most common issues raised on students’ performance was the low grades or failing grades. Episode 13: Assessment of Learning (Summa%ve Assessment 2. Based on your observations and findings, what practices must be a. maintained and b. improved to make grades and reporting meaningful? In my own opinion, I think to make it more meaningful the distribution of report card is that students should also there in order to see their grades together with their parents. And if there is a problem on the grade they may give some advice their children to make better their grades. 1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do reporting so that it will result to effective learning? To prevent misunderstanding the teacher should explain the grading system to the parents and also, he/she should show the things that they considered in computing their grades. 206 Field Study ng de Course: Excellent 4 mplished All observation vation questions/tasks completely answered/ accomplished. ing cts All questions were answered completely; answers are with depth and are thoroughly grounded on theories; grammar and spelling are free from error.
