My Learning Episode Overview
For the assessment process to accomplish its purpose, i.e., to ensure
learning, we must be guided by basic assessment principles. This Episode is focused
on basic guiding principles of assessment.
My Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Episode, I Must be able to:
1. Determine application of the guiding assessment principles in given
situations and
2. Apply the basic assessment principles in the teaching-learning
process.
My Performance Criteria
I will be rated along the following:
a. Quality of my observations and documentation
b. Completeness and depth of my analysis
c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation based reflections
d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. Time of submission of my portfolio
My Learning Essentials
1. Begin by specifying clearly and exactly what you want to assess. What
you want to assess is/are stated in your learning outcomes/lesson
objectives
2. The intended learning outcome/ lesson objective NOT CONTENT is the
basis of the assessment task. You use content in the development of the
assessment tool and task but it is the attainment of your learning outcome
NOT content that you want to assess. This is Outcomes-Based Teaching
and Learning.
3. Set your of success or acceptable standard of success. It is against this
established standard that you will interpret your assessment results.
Example: is a score of 7 out of 10 (the highest possible score)
acceptable or considered success?
4. Make use of varied tools for assessment data-gathering and multiple
sources of assessment data. It is not pedagogically sound to rely on just
one source of data gathered by only one assessment tool. Consider
multiple intelligences and learning styles. DepED Order No. 8, s. 2015
cites the use of multiple ways of measuring students varying abilities and
learning potentials.
5. Learners must be given performance. Feedback must be specific. Good
Work! is positive feedback and is welcome but actually is not a very good
feedback since it is not specific. A more specific better feedback is You

My Analysis
1. Which principles of assessment were observed to have been practiced?
My Reflections
We assess what we value and value what we assess. What should I do
to make assessment worthwhile?
C.

D. Learning Resources
C. Learning Outcome
D. content
6. Very good. You are doing very well, Johann! says Teacher Jona. Teacher was
referring to Johanns word problem-solving skills. Is this is accordance with
giving specific feedback?
A. Yes
B. No
D. No, it is exaggerated
7. Teacher Annie explains to her class: Each one is expected to spell 10 words
out of ten words correctly. This is a mastery test. Is Teacher Annies behavior
in keeping with the principle to set acceptable standards of success?
A. No, the standard she set is too high
B. No, she is not setting the standards. She is just explaining the
meaning of a mastery test.
C. Yes, it is. The Standard is clear.
D. Yes, she sees to it that every student agrees.
8. Teacher Jocelyn considers the multiple-choice type of test the best among the
written types of test, so for assessment of learning she uses only multiple
choice type of test. Is this in accordance with the principles of assessment?
A. Yes, well formulated multiple choice tests measure HOTS
B. Yes, for as long as the multiple choice tests measure low and high
level thinking skills.
C. No, she has only one source of data.
D. No, she should make use of varied tools for assessment datagathering
9. A professor does not give quiz at all. The students grades are based only on
the summative assessment results. Does he violate an assessment principle?
A. No, that is academic freedom
B. No, he assesses learning and gives grades anyway
C. Yes, assessment data to be reliable should come from multiple
sources
D. Yes, he does not consider multiple intelligences and learning styles
My Learning Portfolio
1. Assessment should be on real-world application and not on out-of-context
drill. Research on GRASP of G. Wiggins and JayMcTighe. Construct a real-world
performance assessment task.
2. Here is an intended learning outcome: the student must be able to apply the
basic assessment principles in the teaching-learning process.
Assess the attainment of that objective learning outcome by way
of 2 multiple choice test items.
