AL2-Module3-Product-oriented-Performance-based Assessment
Again, teachers and would-be teachers should be able to make appropriate connections
among learning outcomes, tasks and tests/assessments. And as educators focus on alternative
modes to measure the other or all domains, the tools to come up with objective scoring – the rubrics
should also be well done.
Given national and international educational scenario, the students should be able to:
1. determine appropriate product-oriented learning competencies;
2. design tasks highlighting the competencies; and
3. make rubrics that measure competencies.
V. LESSON CONTENT
Student performances can be defined as targeted tasks that lead to a product or overall
learning outcome. Products can include a wide range of student works that target specific skills.
Using rubrics is one way that teachers can evaluate or assess student performance or proficiency in
any given task as it relates to a final product or learning outcome.
There are other ways to state product-oriented learning competencies. For instance, we can
define learning competencies for products or outputs in the following way:
• Level 1: Does the finished product or project illustrate the minimum expected parts or functions?
(Beginner)
• Level 2: Does the finished product or project contain additional parts and functions on top of the
minimum requirements which tend to enhance the final output? (Skilled level)
• Level 3: Does the finished product contain the basic minimum parts and functions,
have additional features on top of the minimum, and is aesthetically pleasing?
(Expert level)
Examples:
Desired product (Geometry class): representation of a cubic prism made out of cardboard
2. be sturdy, made of durable cardboard and properly fastened together – (skilled specifications)
3. be pleasing to the observer, preferably properly colored for aesthetic purposes – (expert level)
Desired product: scrapbook illustrating the historical event called EDSA I People Power
1. contain pictures, newspaper clippings and other illustrations for the main characters of EDSA I
People Power namely: Corazon C. Aquino, Fidel V. Ramos, Juan Ponce Enrile, Ferdinand E.
Marcos, Cardinal Sin – (minimum specifications)
2. contains remarks and captions for the illustrations made by the student himself for the roles
played by the characters of EDSA I People Power – (skilled level)
3. be presentable, complete, informative and pleasing to the reader of the scrapbook – (expert
level)
2. possess no more than 5 errors in spelling while observing proper format based on the document
to be typewritten – (skilled level)
3. possess no more than 5 errors in spelling, has the proper format, and is readable and presentable
– (expert level)
Designing
a. Complexity. The level of complexity of the project needs to be within the range of ability of the
students.
b. Appeal. The project or activity must be appealing to the students. It should be interesting enough,
should lead to self-discovery of information by the students.

c. Creativity. The project needs to encourage students to exercise creativity and divergent thinking.
It should lead the students into exploring the various possible ways of presenting the final output.
d. Goal-Based. The project is produced in order to attain a learning objective. Projects are assigned
to students not just for the sake of producing something but for the sake of reinforcing learning.
Example: Paper folding is traditional Japanese art. However, it can be used as an activity to
teach the concept of plane and solid figures in geometry. Provide the students with
a given number of colored papers and ask them to construct as many plane and solid
figures from these papers without cutting them (by paper folding only)
Scoring Rubrics
Scoring rubrics are descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by teachers or other
evaluators to guide the analysis of the products or processes of students’ efforts such as essays or
scrapbooks. By developing a pre-defined scheme for the evaluation process, the result becomes
more objective.
Where and when a scoring rubric is used does not depend on the grade level or subject, but
rather on the purpose of the assessment.
Criteria Setting. The criteria for scoring rubrics are statements, which identify “what really
counts” in the final output. The following are the most often used major criteria:
• Quality
• Creativity
• Comprehensiveness
• Accuracy
• Aesthetics
Identify sub-statements. These would make the major criteria more focused and objective.
For instance, if we were scoring an essay on: “Three Hundred Years of Spanish Rule in the
Philippines”, the major criterion “Quality” may possess the following sub-statements:
• Interrelates the chronological events in an interesting manner
• Identifies the key players in each period of the Spanish rule and the roles that they played
• Succeeds in relating the history of Philippine Spanish rule (rated as Professional, Not quite
Professional, and Novice)
Other Assessment Tool. Checklists are an appropriate choice for evaluation tool when the
information that is sought is limited to the determination of whether specific criteria have been met
(as compared to rubrics which are based on descriptive scales and support the evaluation of the
extent to which criteria have been met.
General versus Task-Specific. Scoring rubrics can be used to assess or evaluate specific
tasks or general or broad category of tasks. A specific scoring rubric would be necessary to determine
the student’s knowledge of facts or events, or to evaluate a sequence of presentations.
1) Identification of the qualities and attributes that the teacher wishes to observe in the students’
outputs that would demonstrate their level of proficiency. These qualities and attributes form the
top level of the scoring criteria for the rubrics. Once done, a decision has to be made whether a
holistic or analytic rubric, would be more appropriate.
2) Identification and definition of the criteria for lowest level of performance. In other words, the
teacher is asked to determine the type of performance that would constitute the worst performance
or a performance which would indicate lack of understanding of the concepts being measured.
Group Activities:
1) In your field of specialization, construct rubrics (both analytic and holistic) to evaluate:
1) bulletin board (product)
2) portfolio (product)
3) any skill in your field of specialization (process)
VII. EVALUATION
Portfolio/Project Entry. Another output will be required of the students (Module 5, on Portfolio
Assessment), with its content to include all activities in AL2)
