LESSON 1: History of Measurement and Evaluation in the Philippines

Clemente, Martinez, and Uichanco outlined the development of testing in the Philippines
in four periods. The first was before 1898; second, the last three years of the 19 th century (1898
– 1900) and the 1st quarter of the 20th century 1901 – 1925); third, 1926 to 1956; and fourth,
1957 – 1963.
In the FIRST PERIOD before 1898, it was characterized by oral and performance tests
where there was little recognition on individual’s differences.
SECOND PERIOD was characterized by uniform final examinations throughout the
country. The first standardized test adapted in the Philippines was the Philippine Vocabulary
Test in 1924. In 1925, the Monroe Survey Commission evaluated conditions obtaining in
Philippine Public Schools.
THIRD PERIOD, 1926 – 1956, marked the abolition of the common final examinations
prepared in the General Office each school year, decentralization of the final achievement test
was adapted; and number to certain national schools was initiated. In 1950, giving of
competitive examinations for selection of elementary grades teachers took place.
FOURTH PERIOD, 1957 – 1963, much attention was directed toward personality
development and evaluation not only in schools but in business and industrial corporations in
1957. Achievement testing, after more than three decades of decentralization, shifted to the
centralized system again for three school years (1960 – 1962).
All fourth-year secondary students in public and private schools took common final
examinations. At the primary level, the uniform final examinations were limited to the Grade IV
pupils of the public schools for purposes of promotion. The common final examinations in the
fourth-year high school and Grade IV were stopped in 1963.
On April 23, 1978, the FIRST PROFESSIONAL BOARD EXAMINATION FOR
TEACHERS (PBET) has been administered pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 1006,
professionalizing the teachers.
Every year, PBET has been administered by the Civil Service Commission And
Department Of Education, Culture And Sports. Thus, there were 18 PBET administered
since 1978 to 1995. In NOVEMBER 1995 was the last PBET administration.
PROFESSIONAL LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS (PLET) given by the
Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) was the successor of PBET by virtue of Republic Act
7836 known as Professional Teachers Professionalization Act of 1994.
On August 24 and 25, 1996 was the first administration of PLET; SECOND
ADMINISTRATION was on August 23 & 24, 1997 and the eighth administration was on August
31, 2003.
On November 25, 1975, the FIRST NATIONAL COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMINATION
(NCEE) was administered to all high school graduates by the Department of Education, Culture
and Sports (DECS) pursuant to Presidential Decree No. 146.

Starting in school year 1974 – 1975 to 1993 – 1994, all first-year college applicants
should meet the NCEE cut – off score to qualify them to enroll in a baccalaureate course in any
public and private institutions of higher learning. The last administration of NCEE was on
September 2, 1993.

NSAT (National Secondary Assessment Test) is the successor of NCEE per DECS Order
No. 31, s. 1993, dated May 21, 1993.

The results of the NSAT was transmuted into percentage grades and should be given an
1th
equivalent of of the general average of each subject area in English, Filipino, Mathematics
5
and Science and Technology.

The first administration of NSAT was in September 1994. In 2003, NSAT was
discontinued.

On August 31, 1993, NEAT (National Elementary Achievement Test) for all Grade VI
pupils was administered pursuant to DECS Order No. 30, s. 1993 dated May 20, 1993. The
test covered in four areas, namely, (1) English, (2) Mathematics, (3) Science, and (4)
Heograpiya/Kasaysayan/ Sibika.

In 2002, NEAT was discontinued and replaced by NAT (National Achievement Test) given
to Grade IV pupils and first year high school students by year Department of Education
(DepEd). In February 2013, was the first administration of NAT.

 Functions of Testing

a. Instructional Functions

1. Tests facilitates the clarification of meaningful learning objectives. When constructing


tests, teachers are reminded to go back to the learning objectives. If they are
committed to these, teaching-learning activities and assessment tasks provide mutual
support.

2. Tests provide a means of feedback to the instructor and the student. They can be used
for self-diagnosis. Students can assess their own learning and performance. Test
results guide teachers in adjusting their pedagogical practices to match students’
learning styles. The impact of a test on teaching and learning is called wash back. The
effect may be beneficial or harmful to teachers and learners tend to tailor instructional
activities and learning processes to the demands of the test.

3. Tests can motivate learning. In a meta-analysis study, it was shown that frequent
testing increases academic preparation (study time) and academic achievement.
Frequent testing also produces a more positive attitude among students.

4. Tests can facilitate learning. The effect of testing had been studied by researchers
indicating improved performance when learners are given the opportunity to practice
retrieval before giving the final test. Prompt feedback informs students how they are
doing. By acting on teacher’s feedback, student can improve in subsequent
performance.

5. Test are a useful means of overlearning. Overlearning means continued study, review,
interaction or practice of the same material even after concepts and skills had been
mastered. Preparation for a scheduled test induces overlearning.

b. Administrative Functions

1. Tests can provide a mechanism of quality control. Through tests, a school can
determine the strengths and weaknesses of its curricula. Administrators can devise
ways to improve outcomes and assessment, implement and check for improvement.

Assessment of Learning
2. Tests facilitate better classification and placement decisions. Test results allow
administrators to group students according to their level of ability. Through
classification system, schools can assign or transfer students to a gifted or remedial
program.

3. Tests can increase the quality of selection decisions. In using test for classification
purposes, schools can select students for specific programs. Through testing, a
teacher can select students who would benefit. For instance, in tutorial or remedial
programs.

4. Tests can be a useful means of accreditation, mastery or certification. Test provide a


means of certifying knowledge and skills like the Licensure Examination for Teachers
(LET) conducted by PRC.

c. Research and Evaluation

Tests are useful for program evaluation and research. Test are utilized in studies
that determine effectiveness of new pedagogical techniques.

d. Guidance Functions

Tests can be of value in diagnosing an individual’s special aptitudes and abilities.


By giving intelligence tests, aptitude tests and personality inventories, along with
interviews and counselling sessions, a guidance counsellor can help students develop
their study and management skills, choose which program to take and select a career
path to follow.

 EVALUATION
 Process of determining the quality or worth of achievement in terms of certain standards.
 Process of summing up the results of measurements or tests, giving them some meaning
based on value judgements.

 ASSESSMENT
 a vital element in the curriculum development process.
 used to determine students’ learning need, monitor progress and examine their
performance against identified student learning outcomes

 OBE begins with a clear-cut statement of the learning outcomes – what the students
should know, understand and be able to do.
 Assessment tasks should provide evidences of how learners can use acquired knowledge
academically and professionally in appropriate ways.

 TRADITIONAL ASSESSMENT
 a conventional method of testing which usually produce a written document,
such as quiz, exam, or paper.

 AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
 a form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks
that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills

II. PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT

A. Assessment FOR Learning (AfL)


✓ pertains to diagnostic and formative assessment tasks
✓ used to determine learning needs, monitor academic progress of students DURING a
unit or block of instruction and guide instruction. In here, students are given on –
going and immediate descriptive feedback concerning their performance.
✓ Teachers can make adjustments when necessary in their teaching methods and
strategies to support learning. Teachers can decide whether there is a need to
differentiate instruction or design more appropriate learning activities to clarify and
consolidate students’ knowledge, understanding and skills,
EXAMPLES:
 Pre – test  Concept Maps
 Written Assignments  Focused Questions
 Quizzes  Recitation, etc.

B. Assessment AS Learning (AaL)


✓ employs tasks or activities that provide students with an opportunity to monitor and
further their OWN – LEARNING – to think about their personal learning habits and
how they can adjust their learning strategies to achieve their goals.
✓ It involves metacognitive (assessing your own understanding/performance) processes
like reflection and self-regulation to allow students to utilize their strengths and work
on their weaknesses by directing and regulating their learning. Hence, students are
responsible and accountable for their own learning.
✓ Assessment as learning is also a formative which may be given at any phase of the
learning process
EXAMPLES:
 Self-Assessment
 Peer Assessment
 Journal
 Solve and Check (Check your own paper)
 WIP (Work – in – Pair)

C. Assessment OF Learning (AoL)


✓ a summative and done at the END of a unit, task, process or period.
✓ to provide evidence of a student’s level of achievement in relation to curricular
outcomes.
✓ use for grading, evaluation and reporting purposes
✓ Evaluative feedback on the student’s proficiency level is given to the student
concerned, likewise his/her parents and other stakeholders
✓ It provides the foundation for decisions on student’s placement and promotion

III. RELEVANCE OF ASSESSMENT

In order to make assessment work for everyone – students, teachers, and other players in
the education system should have an understanding of what assessment provides and how it is
used to explain the dynamics of student learning.

Students. Through varied learner-centered and constructive assessment tasks, students


become actively engaged in the learning process. They take responsibility of their own learning
with the guidance of their teacher.

Teachers. Assessment informs instructional practice. It gives teachers information about


a student’s knowledge and performance base. It tells them how their students are currently
doing. Assessment results can reveal which teaching methods and approaches are most
effective.

Parents. They should be involved in the assessment process. They are valued source of
assessment information on the educational history and learning habits of their children, most
especially for preschoolers who do not yet understand their development progress.

Administrators and Program Staff. They use assessment to identify strengths and
weaknesses of the program.

Policymakers. Government agencies can set or modify standards, reward or sanction


schools and direct educational resource.
