5 TABLEOF SPECIFICATIONS (TOS) CONTENT VALIDITY and OUTCOMES-BASED
EDUCATION (OBE)
My Learning Episode Overview
One moral sin that teachers commit is giving tests that lack content validity. This means
that a number of teachers give tests which are not aligned to their leaning outcomes or
objectives. This is contrary to outcomes-based education. The use of a Table of Specification
(TOS) can help address the problem of tests lacking in content validity.
My Intended Learning Outcomes
At the end of this Episode, you must be able to:
Construct a Table of Specifications

Apply OBE by formulating test items with content validity
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
A Table of Specifications (TOS) is a table that specifies the learning outcomes/lesson objectives,
the amount of time spent for each outcome / objective which will serve as basis in determining
the corresponding number of test items.
TOS helps teacher align objectives, instruction, and assessment. It is sometimes called a test
blueprint. This strategy can be used for a variety of assessment methods but is most commonly
associated with constructing traditional summative tests.
Aligning assessment tools and tasks to learning outcomes is a must in Outcomes-Based

Teaching-Learning.
A test or any assessment tool or task for that matter possesses content validity only when that
assessment tool or task measures or assesses what is supposed to measure or assess. You are
supposed to assess students ability to draw conclusions based on given facts but your assessment
tool and task make the students define a conclusion. It is one thing to draw conclusion. It is
another thing to define it.
The assessment task is not aligned to the learning outcome, therefore, it does not possess content
validity. The assessment task that has content validity is to ask the students to draw conclusion
from the facts the teacher gives.
Defining a conclusion is in the level of comprehension, perhaps even recall if definition is simply
memorized, while drawing conclusion from a set of given facts is in the level of creating,
synthesizing.

2. Comparison of given TOS with other TOS that I reached on.
I will compare the given TOS with other TOS that I researched on.
My Analysis
1. For a TOS to ensure test content validity, what parts must it have?
2. Among the TOSs that you researched on, which is a better TOS? Why?
3. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS?
4. Explain why the use of a TOS enhances that content validity?

My Reflections
Read this conversation and reflect on teachers assessment practices. Write your
reflection here.
But we only talked about Puerto Princesa
for like 2 seconds last week. Why would she put that on the exam?
You know how teachers are theyre always trying to trick you.
Yes, they find the most nit-picky little details to put on their
Test and dont even care if the information is important.
Its just not fair. I studied everything we discussed in class about the Philippines and the
things she made a big deal about, like comparing the Philippines
And to think all she asked was Whats the capital of Singapore?
Really? Grrr, (Adapted from Practical Assessment, Research and Evaluation, Vol. 18 No. 3, February 2013)
Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it.

Integrating Theory and Practice
1. Here is lesson objective / intended learning outcome: illustrate the law of supply and demand
with your original concrete example. For content validity, which test item is aligned?
A. Define the law of supply and demand and illustrate it with an example.
B. Illustrate the law of supply and demand with a drawing.
C. Illustrate the law of supply and demand with a concrete, original example.
D. Explain the law of supply and demand and illustrate it with a diagram.
2. Teacher Joji wrote this learning outcome: To interpret a given quotation. For content validity
which should she ask?
A. Interpret Nietsches statement: He who has a why to live for can bear with any how.
B. Did you believe in Nietsches statement He who has a why to live for can with almost any
how?
C. What is true in Nietsches statement He who has a why tp live for can bear with almost any
how?
D. Nitsche was an atheist. Do you believe that he can give this statement HE who has a why to
live for can bear with almost any how?
3. After teaching them the process of experimenting, Teacher Joe wanted his students to be able
to set up an experiment to find an answer to a scientific problem. Which will he ask his students
to do?
A. Set up and experiment to find out if aerial plants can also live on land.
B. Can aerial plants also live on land? Research on experiments already conducted. Present your
finding in class.
C. Observe if aerial plants can survive when planted in soil. Note your observations and present
them in class.
D. Research on the answers to this scientific problem: Can aerial plants survive when transferred
I soil?
4. Here is an intended learning outcome of a Health teacher: Identify skill-related fitness and
activities suitable for the individual. Does her test item measure this particular outcoe and
therefore has content validity?
Question
1. Identify the components of Physical Fitness under the skill-related activities.
A. Body Composition C. Flexibility
B. Agility D. Organic Vigor
A. Yes, very much.
B. Yes because it asks something about skill-related activities.
C. No.
D. No, the options have nothing to do with skill-related activities.
5. In Teacher Leas Table of Specifications (TOS), 60 percent of the 1st grading test items are
applying questions based on Blooms taxonomy. A review of her test shows that 50% are
remembering items, 20% are analysing questions and 30% are applying questions.
Does Teachers test consist with her TOS?
A. No.
B. No, her analysing questions is supposed to be 60%
C. Yes.
D. Yes, her applying questions are also analysing questions, too.

My Learning Portfolio
Give an example of TOS that reflects of learning either by Bloom or by Kendall and Marzano.
Which TOS is better? Why?

6 ON PORTFOLIOS
A portfolio of students work is a direct evidence of learning. But it is a mere collection

of students work or output. Therefore, a students reflection must accompany each output or
work.
The students work is either a product or a performance.
My Intended Learning Outcome
After this Episode, I should able describe the various types of learners portfolios and
their functions.

A learning portfolio is a purposeful collection of students work that exhibits a students

effort, progress, achievements and competencies gained in a given area of course.
There are 3 types of portfolio, namely: 1) growth / developing portfolio, 2)

showcase/base work/ display portfolio and 3) assessment/ evaluation portfolio.
Display / showcase / best work portfolio is to demonstrate the highest level of

achievement attained by the student.
The main purpose of an assessment / evaluation portfolio is to document student learning

on specific curriculum outcomes.
Growth / Process / Development Portfolio
Purposes Some Possible Inclusions

To show growth or change over time Early and later pieces of work
Early and later test scores
Rough drafts and final drafts
Reflections on progress toward goals
To identify strengths / weaknesses Reflections on strengths and weaknesses

7 ON SCORING RUBRICS
How do you score a product or a performance as evidence of learning? You will learn it form this
Episode.
At the end of this Episode, I must be able to examine different types of rubrics used by
my Resource Teachers and relate them to assessment of students learning.

A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for stuents work that includes descriptions of levels
of performance quality on the criteria.
The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products. For some
performances, you observe the student in the process of doing like dribbling the ball. For others,
you observe the product which results from the students work.
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.
Analytic rubrics identify and assess components of a finished product.

Holistic rubrics assess student work as a whole.
Below are examples of a holistic and an analytic rubric.
Fiction Writing Content Rubric Holistic
5 The plot, setting, and characters are developed fully and organized well. The who,
what, where, when, and why are explained using interesting language and sufficient
detail.
4 Most parts of the story mentioned in a score of a 5 above are developed and organized
well. A couple of aspects may need to be more fully or more interestingly developed.
3 Some aspects of the story are developed and organized well, but not as much detail or
organization is expressed as in a score of 4.
2 A few parts of the story are developed somewhat. Organization and language usage
need improvement.
1 Parts of the story are addressed without intention to detail or organization.

The following are the steps in developing a scoring rubric.
1. Identify the characters of what you are assessing. In most cases, this will be specific
stated learning outcomes.
2. Describe the best work you could expect using this characteristics. This describes the
top range of your rubric.
3. Describe the worst acceptable product using these characteristics. This describes the
lowest acceptable range of your rubric.
4. Describe an unacceptable product. This describes the lowest of your rubric.
5. Develop descriptions of intermediate level products and assign then to intermediate

ranges.
My Map
2. Interview at least 2 Resource Teachers on their use of scoring rubrics in assessing learning.
3. Request my Resource Teachers for a copy (for to photocopy) of the scoring rubrics that he
school uses for group projects, student papers, cooperative learning activities.
4. If there are no scoring rubrics are available, I will research on samples of scoring rubrics for
student papers, cooperative learning activities, group projects, performances, and the like.
5. I will analyze information gathered from my interview and research.
6. I will reflect on all information gathered.

Interview
Interview of my Resource Teachers
I will ask the following questions:
1. Where do you use the scoring rubrics? (student outputs or products and student acticities)
2. What help have scoring rubrics given you? When there were no scoring rubrics yet, what did
you use?
3. What difficulties have you met in the use of scoring rubrics?
4. Do you make sure of holistic and analytic rubrics? How do they differ?
5. Which is easier to use-analytic or holistic?
6. Were you involve in the making of the scoring rubrics? How do you make one? Which is
easier to construct analytic or holistic?
Research
I will research on more examples of holistic, and analytic rubrics.

My Analysis
1. What benefits have scoring rubrics brought to the teaching-learning process?
2. How are scoring rubrics related to portfolio assessment?
3. To get the most from scoring rubrics, what should be observed in the making and use of
scoring rubrics?
My Reflections
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?
1. For diagnostic purposes which type of rubric is more appropriate?
A. Analytic rubric C. Holistic
B. General rubric D. Developmental rubric
2. Which rubric CANNOT provide specific feedback for improvement?
B. General rubric D. Developmental rubric
3. Which advantage does a holistic rubric over that of an analytic rubric?
A. Takes less time to create C. More direct
B. Shorter in content D. More detailed
4. Because of its nature, which can be of greater help for self-directed learning?
B. Developmental D. Combination of holistic and analytic

Go over the K to 12 Curriculum Guide and look for at least one competency that needs to
be assessed by the use of rubrics. Make a scoring rubric one analytic and the other holistic.
Remember to focus on assessing the intended outcome.

8 THE K to 12 GRADING SYSTEM
With the implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum of 2013, more
popularly known as K to 12, is a new grading system that is aligned to the new assessment policy
of the Department of Education based on DepEd Memo 8, s. 2015 In this Episode, you will be
made to observe how this is implemented in schools.
At the end of this Episode, I will able to:
compute students grade based on DepEds grading policy

give the descriptor of a numerical grade
I will be rated along the following

My Learning essentials
In the K to 12 curriculum, a students grade is based on his/her written work,

performance task and quarterly assessment.
The weights of the components (written work, performance task and quarterly assessment) vary
among groups of subjects from grade 1 to Grade 10 and from Grade 11 and 12 See Tables below:
Weight of the Components for Grades 1-10

Assessment
Components of Summative Assessment
A. Written Work includes long quizzes and unit or long tests. Other written work may include
essays, written reports, and other written output It is strongly recommended that items in long
quizzes and tests be distributed across the cognitive process dimensions of Anderom and
Krathwohl (2001) DepEd Order 8, s. 2015.
The written Work component ensures that students are able to express skills and
concepts in written form
If you are looking for the application KPUP (knowledge, process, understanding and
performance of DepO. 73, s. 2012) This is it. In assessment, teacher sees to it that written tests
assess the cognitive processes of remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating
and creating with emphasis on the higher dimensions.
B. The Performance Task components allows learners to show what they know and are able to
do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do performance-based tasks.
Performance-based tasks may include skills demonstration, group presentations , and work,
multimedia presentations, and work, multimedia presentations and research projects. (DepEd,
Order 8, s. 2015).
Reporting Learners Program
DepEd Order 8, s. 2015 states:
The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardians through
parent-teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed. The table below presents the
grading scale with its corresponding descriptors and remarks.
Grading Scale
DESCRIPTOR GRADING SCALE REMARKS

Outstanding 90-100 Passed
Very Satisfactory 85-89 Passed
