What is Assessment?
In education, the term
assessment refers to the
wide variety of methods
or tools that educators
use to evaluate, measure,
and document the
academic readiness,
learning progress, skill
acquisition, or
educational needs of
students
 • should be used to inform and
Assessment improve classroom practices
and promote learning
outcomes

• “the way of reporting assessment

data by assigning a value to the
Grading results as a record of students’
ability, achievement or progress.”

Principles of Assessment
P1. Assessment should be well-aligned with
educational standards intended for learners
P2. Formative assessment needs to scaffold
students in the summative assessment
P3. Assessment should become more like
instructions.
P4. Assessment results need to be used by
teachers to help students learn better.
P5. Assessment is not used to threaten and
intimidate students.
 In this school year’s implementation of
distance learning modalities, parents and
guardians will play a crucial role in guiding
their children in adapting to the changes of
distance learning processes.
Parents and guardians are also
requested to assist in the assessment
process, by communicating with the
teachers and guiding their children in
accomplishing the assessment tasks.
 Performance Task
A performance task is any learning activity or assessment
that asks students to perform to  demonstrate their
knowledge, understanding and proficiency. Performance
tasks yield a tangible product and/or performance that serve
as evidence of learning.
Rationale of Performance Task

It describes the abilities and

skills the learners are expected to
demonstrate in relation to the
content standards & integration of
21st century skills

 Assessment Instrument
The assessment
instrument refers to the
specific tool or means of
collecting the desired
information.
Use of Assessment Instrument
We use Assessment
Instrument to determine how
much a person knows and
whether this knowledge aligns
with the bigger picture of a
theory or framework

Additional Examples of
Assessment Instrument:
Rubric
Peer evaluation
Self-evaluation
What is a Rubric
A set of scoring guide
Use to evaluate learner’s
performance based on
criteria
 Importance of Rubric
Help teachers distinguish
only important aspects
that should be included in
the student’s
responses/products
 A good rubric is…
Easy to use and helpful
Easily differentiate the level of
quality of student’s
responses/products
Helps us to achieve our intention
of the assessment
Examples of Rubrics
 Importance of Feedback in
Assessment

Feedback has a significant effect on

student learning and has been described as
the most powerful single moderator that
enhances achievement.

Feedback is valuable when it is received,

understood and acted on.
Sample Feedback
in School
Diagnostic Feedback
“Ongoing, targeted and specific
feedback received within the
current learning period is more
powerful than feedback received
after learning”
(Hattie & Timperley, 2007)
Why Diagnostic Feedback?
(Cognitive)
Provides
Provide
clarifications for

improvement
misconceptions

Enhance learner’s
ability to take
Close learning gaps
ownership of their
learning
Why Diagnostic Feedback?
(Affective)

More self-directed

Increasing the learner’s

motivation & confidence
A Model of Feedback
to Enhance Learning
 Aked by Learners Asked by Teachers
Feed Up Where am I going? What are the targets?

Feed Back How am I going? What progress is being made

to reach the target?

Feed Forward Where to next? What are the actions need

to be undertaken to make
the progress better?
