Rationale

Numeracy is the knowledge, skills, behaviors and disposition that learners need in order
to use mathematics in a wide range of situations. It involves recognizing and understanding the
role of mathematics in the world and having the dispositions and capacities to use mathematical
knowledge and skills purposefully. This implies that teachers shall put premium in developing the
numeracy skills of the learners for them to survive and understand the world.
However, several issues and challenges were encountered by the learners, schools, and
Albay Division along numeracy. In particular, the 2019 DMEA Report on the Number of Failures,
Mathematics registered with the highest number of failures both in elementary and secondary
level without properly assessing the learners employing standardize tools in numeracy.
To address the issues and challenges, SDO-Albay crafted this Numeracy Assessment
Tools to diagnose and assess the numeracy skills of the learners to promote better performance
in Mathematics across the division by generating baseline data of the numeracy skill levels of
the learners that will give information for planning and making decisions on instructional
adjustments, interventions, and practices in the schools.

Framework
The conceptual framework defines the intentions and the processes required to provide
for an innovation on the priority need for numeracy assessment of students. It likewise addresses
the proposed theory of change anchored on the development of numeracy assessment tools for
improving student performance in schools.
The framework was conceived to help learners from Albay in acquiring the numeracy
competencies expected of them especially those which can be applied in the real-life situations,
thus the need to measure what they know and what they have. The conceptual framework
consists of a development cycle on the development of the numeracy assessment tools which
involves ideation and planning, creation, validation, execution and policy development.

Utilizing ALNAT
The electronic Numeracy Assessment Tools (e-NAT) are spreadsheet files, designed using Microsoft Excel,
that allow the math teachers / coordinators to record and store the test responses of the ALNAT
examinees, generate test results, and interpret the examinees’ numeracy skills automatically. The main
objective of the e-NAT is to provide teachers a baseline data of learners’ numeracy skills. They can use
the ALNAT results in planning interventions for learning losses, crafting more appropriate teaching
strategies, and developing data-driven research in improving the numeracy skills of the learners.

e-NAT Users
The users of the e-NAT are the following:
1. Math Teachers / Class Advisers – in-charge of encoding / entering the learners’ responses,
generating individual and class cards, scoresheets, and reports of the numeracy skills level and
the least learned competencies
2. School Math Coordinator – in-charge of reporting and generating the grade level results of
numeracy skills and least learned competencies per grade level
3. School ICT Coordinator – in-charge of downloading the e-NAT tools and assisting the math
teachers / class advisers and school math coordinator in reporting and generating results using
the e-NAT
4. District Math Coordinator - in-charge of reporting and generating the results of numeracy skills,
number of learners per numeracy skill level, and least learned competencies per grade level
across the district
5. Division EPS / Math-in-charge - in-charge of reporting and generating the results of numeracy
skills, number of learners per numeracy skill level, and the least learned competencies per grade
level across the division
6. Regional EPS – in charge of consolidating and generating the results of the ALNAT per grade
level, per division, and per district

e-NAT Types
The tools are classified into different types of reports:

e-NAT (Class) file

The e-NAT (Class) files are the reports of numeracy skills per class per grade level and categorized into
pre-test and post test data. Each tool is unique to each grade level. The key to correction and the table
of specifications (TOS) for each type of test are embedded per e-NAT (Class) file as hidden sheets. Thus,
it is important to use the appropriate tool for each grade level to ensure accurate interpretation of
results. The users of these tools are the class advisers for key stage 1 (Grades 1 to 3) and mathematics
teachers for key stage 2 (Grades 4 to 6), 3 (JHS), and 4 (SHS).

22 | P a g e
The procedures in using the e-NAT (Class) file are as follows.
ACQUIRING THE E-NAT
1. The School ICT/Math Coordinator will download the e-NAT (Class) files from the Google Drive
link of the ALNAT (e-NAT) using the school DepEd email. The said user will need to send a request
access to the Google drive owner. The official link, starting June 6, 2022, is:
bit.ly/RegionalALNATeNAT2022
2. Once inside the link, there will be folders categorized into grade levels and office levels, as
shown in the figure below. Sample test data are also provided.

Figure 2 Sample Folders and Files in the e-NAT Drive link

3. After downloading, the School ICT/Math Coordinator will distribute the e-NAT Class files to the
math teachers and class advisers.

REPORTING THE PRE-TEST DATA

1. After the conduct of the pre-test (pen-and-paper, online, or mixed) you will utilize, for example
in Grade 1, the eNAT (Class) Grade 1 PreTest.xslx.

2. Enter the data requirement for the downloaded tool. You will use the Info sheet to encode the
basic school and class information, the Test Answers for the learners’ responses (for pen-and-
paper test), and the Test Results for copy/pasting the learners’ test results (for online test only).

a. Info Sheet

Figure 3 Basic School and Class Information in the e-NAT (Class) Pre-Test file

23 | P a g e
In the Info sheet, corresponding each cell label, the class adviser / math teacher should enter the name
of the schools’ division (selected through a drop-down list), the district or municipality where the school is
located, complete school name, school ID, school address, the name of the math teacher / class adviser
and his/her DepEd e-mail, the name of the school head, the grade level and section, and the date of
examination (for conduct of group test). For the learners’ data,

• after the pen-and-paper test, the teacher should type the learner’s LRN (optional), last name,
first name, middle initial (optional), and the math grade of the learner from his/her previous
grade level (optional), while
• after the online test, the teacher will copy the learners’ names from the surname and first name
columns of the DLMS-generated CSV to the last name and first name columns of the Info sheet
under the List of Examinees table.

Figure 4 Encoded Learners Name (left image) vs LMS-generated CSV (right image)

Note: If you will be using mixed method (pen-and-paper and online) in administering the ALNAT, finish
encoding the names of the examinees of the pen-and-paper test first, then copy/paste the names of the
examinees of the online test on the next blank row of the Info Sheet (Paste as Values). For example, in the
image above, there are 10 pen-and-paper test examinees. On the next row, copy/paste the data from the
DLMS-generated CSV to the next blank row of the List of Examinees table (Info Sheet) after the tenth
learner, as indicated in the # Column.
b. Test Answers

Figure 5 Sample Test Responses Encoded on the Test Answers Sheet

In the Test Answers Sheet, start typing under question items column (Q01 to Q30 for Grades 1 and 2;
Q01 to Q40 for Grades 3 and 4; and Q01 to Q50 for the rest of the grade levels) the responses
corresponding the names of the examinees administered with the pen-and-paper test. This sheet will
automatically show to you the current score of a learner, under the Score column, every time you add a
response. In the figure above, the learners with encoded responses are those who took the pen-and-
paper test. Those without entries are the examinees of the online test. Do not type anything on the
responses of the learners who took the online test. Furthermore, if the date of the examination is different
for each examinee, you may directly type the exact date of test administration corresponding their
names under the Date of Examination column.

24 | P a g e
 c. Test Results

Figure 6 Sample Data on the Test Results Sheet

In the Test Results Sheet, you will notice under the question items columns values ranging from 0 to 1. The
cells with 0 value earned 0 point when the learner’s response in the Test Answers Sheet did not match the
key to correction. Otherwise, the cell will return a 1 value. These are automatically generated and should
not be edited.
In the case of the learners who took the online exam, copy paste their test results from the DLMS-
generated CSV to the columns corresponding their names in the Test Results Sheet.
• Unprotect the Test Results Sheet. The password to unlock is online.
• Go to the DLMS-generated CSV. Copy the test results under the test item columns.
• Go to the Test Results Sheet of the e-NAT (Class) tool.
• Paste as Values under the question items columns corresponding the names of the learners. Be
careful of not to overwrite the test results for the learners who took the pen-and-paper test if
you use the tool for reporting results of examinees for both test methods.

Note: If you will be using the tool for reporting the online test results or mixed test methods, be sure to get
another copy of the tool when you accomplish this report the next time. This will ensure that the formulas in
the tool are not altered.

Interpretation of ALNAT Results

The interpretation of scores shall be done through the e-Numeracy Card from the e-NAT.
Individual, Class, School, District, Division and Region e-Numeracy Cards shall be generated using the
e-NAT.

The numeracy skills level per content area and skill and process are reflected in the e-
Numeracy card using the scales and descriptions as follows:

NMS – NEEDS MAJOR SUPPORT

A learner got an average rating of 74% and below, so he/she did not achieve the
passing rate of 75% per DepEd Order #8 s. 2015 and majority of the skills and processes are
under needs major support.

A – ANCHORING

A learner got an average rating of 75% to 79%. - The learner has achieved the passing
rate, however there are still skills and processes that are under needs major support.

E – EMERGING

A learner got an average rating of 80% to 84%. There are skills and processes which
are under anchoring, and/or developing, however, there are also skills that are under needs
major support.

D - DEVELOPING

A learner got an average rating of 85% to 89%. - There are skills and processes that
are under anchoring, developing, and/or transforming however, there are few skills that are
under needs major support.

T - TRANSFORMING

A learner got an average rating of 90% and above. - - Majority of the skills and
