Letter to the Student
Our world is experiencing an unprecedented health and economic crisis brought by COVID 19 Pandemic. This current
disruption distressed the workface across socioeconomic strata, metamorphosing the nature of the work and the way we
communicate with one another. Schools have to make adjustment in the teaching and learning process. Flexible Learning
Modality is a proposed mechanism to continue the delivery of educational services during this period.
The Commission on Higher Education suggested three Flexible Learning Modalities; namely, online, offline. Taking into
account the availability of devices, internet connectivity, and level of digital literacy of our students, we decided to use
blended learning as our flexible mode of delivering instruction and other services. This module designed to cater the needs
of our students who do not have access to digital technology. Since it is blended, other students have no option to avail the
online component of blended learning.
You are expected to read the contents of this module, study the examples, practice answering the “Check your progress”
portion and answer the exercises at the end of every module. I expect that you will complete one module per week. Submit
your output every FRIDAY on the designated pigeonhole boxes located at the Entrance of High School gate.
For any queries with regard to the use of this module or you encounter difficulty understanding the topic, please do not
hesitate to contact the undersigned on mobile phone number 09305171981. You can also reach me in my messenger
account Guada Edulan or send email in guadalupeedulan@mariancollege.edu.ph
I will ask for your contact details during our course orientation so that I can personally monitor your progress in this course.
In case the CHED, LGU, and IATF will allow us to conduct in-campus/face-to-face teaching and learning, we will inform you
immediately through a text message or other medium of communication. May Almighty God and Mother Mary our
patroness will bless us always.

Introduction to Assessment
In Learning 2
To be able to successfully describe what alternative assessment for learning is, you need to develop a matrix of the
difference between traditional and alternative assessment of learning and document and document the experience of teachers who
apply the principles in assessing learning using alternative methods. To be able to do these, you need to read the following
information about the basic concepts and principles in assessing learning using traditional methods. You are expected to read this
information before the discussion, analysis and evaluation when you meet the teacher face-to-face or in virtual classroom. If the
information provided in this worktext is not enough you can look up more information that you can access on the internet.

What is Alternative Assessment?
Assessment- is generally defined as the process of gathering quantitative and /or qualitative data for the purpose of making
decision, whereas,
Assessment of Learning- can be defined as the systematic and purpose-oriented collection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence
of student learning in order to make informed decision relevant to the learners. In contrast,
Assessment for Learning- refers to the use of assessment to identify the needs of students in order to modify instruction or the
learning activities in the classroom. Assessment for learning is informative in nature, and it is meant to identify gaps in the learning
experiences of students, so they can be assisted in achieving the curriculum outcomes.
Traditional Assessment- refers to the use of traditional assessment strategies or tools to provide information on student learning.
Typically objective (e.g. multiple choice) and subjective (e.g. essay) paper-and-pencil test are used to assess students. Traditional
assessment often used as the basis for evaluating and grading students. They commonly used in classroom because they are easier
to design and quicker to be scored. In contrast,
Alternative Assessment- refers to the use of alternative or non-traditional assessment strategies or tools to collect information on
student learning. Examples of Alternative forms of assessment are: performance-oriented and product-oriented assessment
methods. At the core of alternative assessment is the need to design and implement assessment tasks or activities that refrain from
using traditional paper-and-pencil tests, which typically assess cognitive learning outcomes and thus have right or wrong answers.
P3
WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT MODELS OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT?
The THREE most common models of nontraditional assessment are:
1. Emergent assessment
2. Developmental assessment
3. Authentic assessment
EMERGENT ASSESSMENT- is based on Michael Scriven’s goal free evaluation model (1967) In this model, the assessment focuses on
determining the “effects” of instruction on students. The emphasis is on the assessment of both the intended and unintended
effects or learning outcomes. Hence, assessment is not limited to collecting information if the intended learning outcomes whether
positive or negative.
1. EMERGENT ASSESSMENT- examines how and what the educational program and instruction are doing to address the needs
of students. The assessor should have no preconceived notions or biases regarding learning outcomes or instructional goals. With
this model, assessment is more qualitative and the assessor uses multiple methods to record all data accurately and determine their
importance and quality. Hence, categories emerge from the observations of the assessor. In this model, direct and indirect evidence
of student learning are both collected.
Direct evidence – refers to tangible and compelling evidence of what students have and have not learned, whereas;
Indirect evidence – refers to proxy signs for learning that are less tangible and less compelling compared to direct evidence.
2. DEVELOPMNTAL ASSESSMENT- on the other hand, focuses on determining the extent that student have developed their
competencies from instruction. This model adopts a pre-test and post-test methodology to collect information if a student has
developed or improved after instruction. It involves a comparison of what student can do at different time points and or different
context to assess if there is progress. Developmental assessment is said to be useful for assessing learning outcomes based on
students’ development rather than a final product. Assessors should have adequate knowledge of how a skill or attribute develops
so appropriate assessment strategies and tools can be designed.
3. AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT- is the most popular model for alternative assessment. It is an approach in the assessment of
student learning that refer to the use of assessment strategies or tools that allow learners to perform or create a product that is
meaningful to the learners as they are based on real-world contexts. The authenticity of the assessment task is best described in
terms of degree and not in terms of the presence or absence of authenticity. Hence, an assessment can be more authentic or less
authentic compared to other assessments. The most authentic assessment are the one that allow performances that the most
closely resemble real-world tasks or applications in real-world settings or environments.
The following can be used as criteria in determining if an assessment task or activity is authentic or not
1. be built around topics or issues of interest to the students;
2. replicate real world communication context and situations;
3. involve multistage tasks and real problems that require creative use of language rather than simple repetition;
4. require leaners to produce a quality product or performance;
5. introduce the students to the evaluation criteria and standards;
6. involve interaction between assessor (instructor, peers, self) and person assessed; and
7. allow for self-evaluation and self-correction as they proceed.
Different principles in assessing learning using alternative methods:
1. Assessment is both process and product-oriented- An assessment gives equal importance to student performance or product
and the process they engage in to perform or produce product. While traditional assessment methods are focus on assessing
students product or output, non-traditional or alternative methods like performance assessment and portfolio assessment give value
to the product developed by students, as well as in the process students have undergone to develop the product.
2. Assessment should focus on higher-order cognitive outcomes – For assessment to be valid and authentic, it should require
students to demonstrate their knowledge. However the focus should be on providing tasks or activities that would allow students’
demonstration of higher-order cognitive outcomes (e.g. creating, analyzing) or skills (e.g. creativity, critical thinking) The use of
nontraditional or alternative methods of assessment like performance assessment allows the assessment of both lower-order and
higher-order cognitive outcomes in ways that are more authentic.
3. Assessment can include measure of noncognitive learning outcomes- Traditional assessment focus on knowledge and other
cognitive learning outcomes. However, psychomotor and affective outcomes are also important learning outcomes. Nontraditional
assessment tools like rubrics, scales, and checklist allow the measurement of noncognitive learning outcomes that allow ore
complete and assessment of student learning.
P4
4. Assessment should reflect real-life or real-world contexts- Assessment tasks or activities should be authentic. The
assessment should closely if not fully approximate real-life situations or experiences. Authenticity of assessment can be
thought as a continuum from least authentic to most authentic, with more authentic tasks expected to be more meaningful to
students. Performance assessment is optimal if the performance tasks to be demonstrated is similar or close to what is
expected in the real world.
5. Assessment must be comprehensive and holistic- assessment should be performed using a variety of strategies and tools
designed to assess student learning in a more integrative way. Assessment should be conducted in multiple periods to assess
learning over time. Moreover, the use of both traditional assessment and alternative assessment strategies and tools should
be considered. Nontraditional methods of assessment (e.g. use of rubrics, scales) allow the possibility of multiple assessors
that students are being assessed in a more comprehensive and holistic way.
6. Assessment should lead to student learning. This means that assessment should be like classroom instruction. This
principle is consistent with the concepts of assessment for learning and assessment as learning
Assessment for learning refers to the use of assessment to identify the needs of students in order to modify instruction or the
learning activities in the classroom.
Assessment as learning refers to assessment tasks, results and feedbacks are used to help student practice self-regulation and
make adjustments in order to achieve the curriculum outcomes.

To be able to successfully prepare an assessment plan using alternative methods based on learning targets, you need
to read the following information about learning targets or performance and product-oriented assessment. You are
expected to read this before discussion, analysis and evaluation when you meet the teacher face-to-face or virtual
classroom.
P7
What are the learning targets appropriate for alternative assessment?
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY OF EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES- are specific statements of student performance at the end of an instructional unit. Educational
objectives are sometimes referred as behavioral objectives and are typically stated with the use of verbs. The most popular
taxonomy of educational objectives is Bloom’s Taxonomy Of Educational Objectives. Bloom’s Taxonomy consist of three domains:
These three domains correspond to the three types of goals that teachers want to assess
a. cognitive - knowledge-based goal
b. affective – affective goals
c. psychomotor – skills-based goals
Hence there are three taxonomies that can be used by teachers depending on the goals. Each taxonomy consist of different levels of
expertise with varying degree of complexity. The succeeding sections describe the taxonomies for the psychomotor and affective
domain.
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in the Affective Domain describes five levels of expertise:
Affective domain
LEVEL DESCRIPTION ILLUSTRATIVE VERBS SAMPLE OBJECTIVE
In terms of educational objectives in the psychomotor domain, Bloom and colleagues did not propose levels unlike in the cognitive
and affective domains. However, other scholars like Elizabeth Simpson (1972) built a taxonomy for the psychomotor domain from
the work of Bloom. In Simpson’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives in the Psychomotor Domain, seven levels of expertise are
described:
PSYCHOMOTOR DOMAIN

Bloom’s Taxonomies of educational objectives for affective and psychomotor domains are able to provide teachers with
structured guide in formulating more specific learning targets in the classroom. Taxonomies serves as guide for teachers in both
instruction and assessment of student learning in the classroom. The challenge is for teacher to identify the level of expertise that
they expect the students to achieve and demonstrate. This will then lead to the identification of the assessment methods required
to properly assess student learning. Higher level of expertise in a given domain requires are assume to require more sophisticated
assessment methods or strategies.
LEARNING TARGETS
As previously learned from assessment in Learning 1, a learning target is statement on what students are supposed to learn
and what they can do because of instruction. Learning targets are more specific compared with educational goals, standards, and
objectives and lend themselves to more specific compared instructional and assessment activities. Learning targets should be
congruent with the standards prescribed by the program or level and aligned with the instructional or learning objectives of a
subject or course. Teacher formulate learning targets from broader standards and learning objectives. The learning targets should be
clear, specific, and meaningful to students. Thus, learning targets are more effectively stated in student’s point of view, typically
using the phrase “I can…”. For example, “I can differentiate between traditional methods and alternative methods of assessment”.
The purpose of the learning targets is to effectively inform students of what they should be able to do or demonstrate as evidence of
their learning. Therefore, learning targets should specify both the content and criteria of learning. With specific learning targets
formulated, appropriate classroom instruction and assessment can be designed. The most common typology of learning targets are:
Knowledge, skill, product, and affect (also known as disposition). Table below summarizes these types of learning targets:
P9
What are the appropriate alternative methods of assessment for learning targets?
While all five types of learning targets (knowledge, reasoning, skill, product, and affective) can be assessed by the use
of alternative methods of assessment, three types of learning targets can be best assess using alternative assessments. These
are skills, products, and affect.
Stiggins et al(2006) defined skills type of learning targets as one’s use of knowledge and reasoning to act skillfully. In
other words, skill refers to learning targets that require the development and demonstration of behavioral or physical task. To
able to demonstrate skills or act skillfully, students must be able to possess the knowledge and reasoning ability related or
relevant to the skills to be demonstrated.
On bout school other hand, Stiggins et al.(2006) described product learning targets as the use of knowledge,
reasoning and skills to create a concrete product. Thus, products refers to learning targets that require the development of a
tangible and high-quality product or output. Students are expected to create products that have certain core attributes that
will serve as the basis for evaluating its quality.
Meanwhile, affect or disposition refers to students’ attitudes about school and learning. In practice, we look at
affect/disposition to encompass a broad range of noncognitive attributes beyond attitude that may affect learning and
performance, including motivation, interest and other affective states. The development of affect/disposition simultaneously
occurs as a student learns concepts and skills in the classroom.
Sample of Learning Targets Across Subject Areas
SUBJECT AREA TYPOLOGY OF LEARNING TARGETS LEARNING TARGETS
P10
Once the learning targets identified, appropriate alternative methods of assessment can be selected to measure
student learning. In terms of skills, having the required skills to apply one’s knowledge and reasoning skills through the
performance of the behavioral or physical task is a step higher than simply knowing or being able to reason based on
knowledge. Hence, skills targets are best assessed among students through performance-oriented or performance-based
assessment as skills are best gauged through actual task performance.
In terms of products, a student’s knowledge, reasoning, and skills are all required before one can create a meaningful
product or output. Obviously, product targets best assessed through product assessment. Given the need to give value to the
process of creating product, performance assessment is also typically used vis-à-vis product assessment.
For affect or disposition, may already hold a particular affect or disposition in relation to a particular lesson or learning
target and such affect may change or not depending on the learning and instructional and assessment experience of the
student. Affect or disposition best assessed through affective assessment or the use of self-report measures (checklist,
inventories, questionnaires, scales) and other alternative strategies to assess affective outcomes.

Alternative ways in
Assessing learning
To be able to learn or enhance your skills on how to develop good and effective performance assessment
tools, review your prior knowledge on the differences between traditional and alternative assessment and how and when to
choose a particular assessment method most appropriate to the identified learning objectives and desired learning outcomes
for your course.
P13
What is Performance Assessment?
Performance assessment is an assessment activity or set of activities that requires students to generate products or
performances that provide direct or indirect evidence of their knowledge, skills and abilities in an academic content domain. It
provides teachers with information about how well a student understand and applies knowledge and goes beyond the ability to
recall information. It is used for assessing learning outcomes that involve designing or creating projects or products such as research
papers, art exhibits, reflective essays, and portfolios. On the other hand, performance-based tasks include actual performance of
making those products, such as carrying out laboratory experiments, exhibiting creative and artistic talents, such as dancing,
painting, and playing a musical instrument, and demonstrating writing skills through extemporaneous essay writing, article view, and
reflective papers. Both how a student understands and applies knowledge and involve hands-on tasks or activities that students
must complete individually or in a small groups. Table below are examples of product-based and performance-based assessment.
TYPES EXAMPLES
A. PRODUCT-BASED ASSESSMENT
Visual Products Charts, illustrations, graphs, collages, murals, maps, timeline flows, diagrams,
posters, advertisements, video presentations, art exhibit
Kinesthetic Products Diorama, puzzles, games, sculpture, exhibits, dance recital
Written Products Journals, diaries, logs, reports, abstracts, letters, though or position papers, poems,
story, movies/tv scripts, portfolio, essay, article report, research paper, thesis
Verbal products Audiotapes, debates, lectures, voice recording, scripts
B. PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT
ORAL PRESENTATIONS/DEMONSTRATIONS Paper presentation, poster presentation, individual or group report on assigned
topic, skills demonstration such as baking, teaching, problem solving
DRAMATIC/CREATIVE PERFORMANCES Dance, recital, dramatic enactment, prose or poetry interpretation, role playing,
playing musical instrument
PUBLIC SPEAKING Debates, mock trial, simulations, interviews, panel discussion, story-telling, poem
reading
ATHLETICSKILLS Playing basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, and other sports.
DEMONSTRATION/COMPETITION
Similar to performance assessment is the concept of authentic assessment. Authentic assessment requires students to actually
demonstrate their skills in applying skills and knowledge they have learn from class. It involve tasks that resemble what people do in
the real setting or context, such as doing an actual research, making a case study, giving speech, or performing on a stage.
2. It provides opportunities for students to show both what they know and how well they can do what they know.
Performance assessment should achieve a balanced approach wherein it gives students opportunities to show their
knowledge-and-skill competencies. Since the main goal of teaching and learning is for students’ acquisition and application of
knowledge and skills, course assessments should therefore help answer the questions “Do the students know it” and “How well can
they use what they know” to determine whether the students have actually achieve this goal. For example, in a Practical Research 2
class, the teacher require research output at the end of the course., since this performance task will not only inform teacher
whether the students can conceptualize a good research paper, conduct review or related literature, applying appropriate data
gathering procedure and analysis, and make valid interpretations and implications of the results. The main challenge is for the
teachers to choose performance task that can measure both the competencies of “knowing” and “applying” and at most “creating”
P14
3. It allows students to be involved in the process of evaluating their own and their peers’ performance and output.
Performance assessment should allow students to be involve in the process of evaluating themselves and their peers. It
should give students the opportunity for self-reflection or self-assessment, as well as to be involved in evaluating their classmates’
performance. Self-assessment allows students to make judgement about their learning process and products of learning, track their
progress, and identify the areas where to focus or improve on. Peer assessment, on the other hand, allow students to give
constructive feedback about the performance of their classmates or groupmates, which the latter can use to revise or improve their
work. Both assessments require that scoring or grading is based on the criteria agreed upon by the teacher and the students. The
use of rubric can facilitate self-assessment and peer assessment.
5. It explain the task, required elements, and scoring criteria to the students before the start of the activity and the assessment.
At the start, it is important that the requirements of the subject are presented and explained to the students. These include
the required tasks, activities or projects, the expected quality and level of performance or output, the criteria to be included for
assessment, and the rubric to be used. Ideally, students should be involve in the whole assessment process from the very onset, by
providing assessment options, getting them involve in discussions and decision-making on performance standards and criteria,
allowing them the opportunity to give feedback on teacher-made rubrics and to revise them, and training them on how to apply
rubric for self-and peer assessment.
P15
Intended Learning Outcomes Teaching-Learning Activities Performance Assessment tasks
At the end of the course, the students
should be able :
Perform dance routines and creatively Lecture, class discussion, movement Culminating dance class recitals,
combine variations with rhythm, exercises, dance demonstration, practical test for each type of dance,
coordination, correct footwork actual dancing with teacher and reflection papers, peer evaluation
technique, frame, facial and body partners, collaborative learning rating

P16
4) Task-specific rubric – contains criteria that are unique to a specific task (i.e. a rubric that can only be used for
oral
presentation and other rubric applicable only for the research output)
5) Assess student’s performance/ product.
In assessing a student’s work, it is important to adhere to the criteria set and use the rubric developed. This is
to
ensure objective, consistent, and accurate evaluation of student’s performance. It is also important to provide
specific and meaningful feedback and explanation to students on how they have performed the tasks, clarifying
to them what they understand, what they don’t understand and where they can improve.

Lesson 4: AFFECTIVE ASSESSMENT
To be able to develop your assessment tool to measure the affective dimension of students learning, you need to read and
understand the information in the following paragraphs that discuss important aspects about affective assessment, which
will eventually guide you to accomplish the ultimate objective of this lesson, that is, to develop an assessment tool to
measure affective outcome of students’ learning. To maximize the time with your teacher in the course, it is advice that you
read the text by yourself such that the class discussion with the teacher will be more focused on more specific concerns
about the content and essence of the material, queries, and difficulties in accomplishing the tasks.
P19
What is affective assessment? Why assess affective domain?
Think about your answer to the following questions:
How do you feel doing mathematics?
What do you like in mathematics?
Your responses may vary. Some may like the subject, or for the majority, the feeling is the opposite. If we deal with measurement of
feelings, attitude, or interest, we are into affective assessment. From the world itself, this type of assessment deals with the affect
dimension of student learning. The affective domain (from the Latin afectus meaning “feelings) includes host of constructs, such as
attitudes, values, beliefs, opinions, interest and motivation. They are the noncognitive outcomes of learning that are not easily seen
or explicitly demonstrated. The type of assessment in this domain is not aimed to determine what the students have learned.
Rather, it looks into how students feel while they are learning, how their learning experiences have influence their emotions and
future behavior. Teaching is not only imparting content knowledge that requires cognition. It is also knowing and understanding
students as learners and humans. Therefore, it is essential that teacher know the feeling of pleasure, enjoyment, or even anxiety
that learners experience because these feelings will have bearing on their attitudes, motivation, and beliefs that will eventually be
manifested in their future behavior. Further, with information about the students’ affective characteristics, teachers will be able to
individualize their approaches to students and reshape the lesson plan based on the identified needs of students.
Assessment on the affective domain is not only on the part of teachers to know information about students. It is also useful
for students themselves. Self-awareness of feelings, emotions, and attitudes can make students reflect on how they are in the
process of learning. This type of metacognition has proven to enhance learning and contribute to success in the academic task.
Student attainment is a result of the functioning of his or her whole personality. Cognitive and affective assessment should work in
tandem as what empirical studies have proven.

P22
B. Semantic Differential – this is widely used scale that employs ratings of concepts with contrasting adjectives placed at
opposite ends of the number scale. For example, the concept of “Problem-Solving” can be assessed using the following semantic
differential scale.
PROBLEM-SOLVING
Difficult _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ Easy
1 2 3 4 5
In this example, the students are asked to express their attitudes toward problem solving. They need to make a check mark on the
scale indicating the degree of agreement they have the adjectives listed. Similar to the Likert scale where there are negative items,
the position of the positive and negative adjectives in semantic differential are reversed to balance the scale and create a less biased
measurement. The response could then be summed, and a mean could be determine in each of the adjectives pairs. In this way, the
concept “problem solving” would be scaled on the various pairs of the adjectives.
C. Checklist. – checklist is a form of self-report that ask persons to indicate whether they demonstrate a set of qualities or
behaviors. In particular, for affective assessment, it is a tool for identifying the presence or absence for a feeling, attitude or
behavior. The behaviors that are checked will reflect what values and beliefs learners hold. For example, attitude toward
environment may be measured by giving students a checklist that enumerates different actions related to environment awareness
and commitment in one column and space in another column where students will put a check or a cross, indicating whether those
actions are being done or not.

_______ I do not know what it is all about
Another form of checklist also provide students a list of objective for describing something or making judgement about behavior and
actions and asks the respondents to check those that apply to them.
Put a check mark (/) on the blank that are true to you.

2. INTERVIEW- this is an or oral assessment of student learning that is conducted through spoken words and casual conversation.
This assessment tool allows the teacher to collect and explore more in-depth information about the trait being assessed that cannot
be captured by written instrument nor even be observed. The assessed data are not just answerable by “yes” or “no’ or other or
predetermined responses. Through this assessment technique, the teacher is able to probe responses that other forms of
assessment tool cannot. The students can qualify and expand their previous answers, which can be vague at the earlier part of the
conversation. It provides students opportunity to open other thoughts and ideas, and the teachers can be flexible to adapt questions
as the need arises. It can provide a powerful “moment of sharing” where the learner is able to express face-to-face his or her
feelings and emotions. Prerequisite to achieve all of these is the trust you have to build with the interviewee by demonstrating care
and respect.
Interviews may be structured or unstructured. In the structured interview, there is planned sequence off questions, which
lead to open-ended discussions between the teacher and the student, either done individually or by group. One limitation though of
the structured interview is that predetermined questions tend to limit flexibility.
For interview to be an effective assessment tool, the following are general steps in developing and constructing an interview:
1. Select the assessment objectives.
2. List the oral questions in sequence based on the objectives. However, the sequence is not absolute,
instead, there should be a room for flexibility. Questions should start with general questions followed by
more specific ones.
3. Make report sheet or any form to record responses.
4. Conduct the interview. Start with statements that will make the learner be at comfort level with teacher.
5. Record the responses, both elicited responses and responses that were aided by prompts. Record as well
the questions that were not answered, and additional questions that were given during the probing
process. Record the wait time for the response. It will also be worth noting to record the nonverbal
behavior like body movements during the interview process.

3. STUDENTS JOURNAL- These are effective tools that can be used in assessing and monitoring student thinking and attitudes.
Journal writing give students guided opportunities to “think aloud” through writing. It is a special form of documentation that record
personal experiences and thoughts. It is a reflection of learners’ own perception about problem, a situation, or an activity they are
tasked with. A students who encountered a difficult problem and is asked to write about the situation through a journal will reflect
more deeply and think critically about the problem or situation and what actions and decisions were made to hurdle the difficulties.
In journal writing, students are given opportunity to rewind previous experiences that can give them new perspectives in facing
future actions. Further, through journals, students are given the opportunity to open up and express their thoughts and feelings,
which can reveal their thinking both on the cognitive and affective aspect of the problem task. For example, if the students is asked
the question, “When is a person a hero to you?”, the student’s writing will reveal not only his or her set of beliefs and values (the
affective component), but also his or her knowledge on the concept of heroism (the concept part).
Journal writing opens the door for a one-to-one dialogue between the teacher and the student. It creates an environment
of partnership where teachers and students resolve issues and conflicts of ideas and understanding in confidential manner. The
written journal provides information for teachers to give feedback and ask questions to students that can develop different ways of
thinking. While the primary intention of journal writing is to capture student’s feelings and emotions, the discourse can lead to
improving the cognitive domain of learning. To attain this, journals are guided by a set of ideas, questions, or problems.
In choosing journal writing as an assessment tool for affective learning outcomes, here are some guide questions to
consider:
What is your purpose for the student journal writing (i.e., critical thinking, reflection, self-awareness, goal review,
developing self-confidence, overcoming anxiety)?
What is the format (i.e., handwritten free form, typed, full sentences)?
What is the topic? What do you want the students to write about?
How much do you want your student to write (i.e., number of pages, number of paragraphs, or number of words)?
How will the students be given feedback (i.e., individual, with a small group, with the teacher)?
Who will read the journal (i.e., with teacher only, with other teachers, with selected students)?
How will the students be graded (i.e., Pass/Fail, Rubric, no scoring needed)?
4. OBSERVATION- It is an assessment tool that involves looking out for the presence or absence of behaviors of learners in a
natural setting. Observation allows the teacher to asses student behavior in the actual teaching and learning process unlike other
forms of assessment that requires separate time with the student to answer the measuring instrument. This method is rich source of
clues that can be both obtrusive and unobtrusive measures of attitude, beliefs, disposition, character, etc. Example: Physical
Education (P.E.) teacher watches students play basketball in a school court. While the focus may be on the skill of playing basketball
like shooting or throwing the ball correctly, the teacher can also directly watch who play he “clean” game and who play on “foul”
moves or what we often term the “dirty tricks”. Such behavior is indicate of important affective characteristics like honesty,
patience, and positive disposition, which we aim to develop not only in P.E but across the school curriculum. Like interview,
observation may be structured and unstructured. An unstructured observation is open-ended, with no formal recording of what is
observe as assessment process is ongoing. This does not mean though that it does not require planning. You have to be very clear of
what to observe and list the behaviors and actions that will indicate the possession of the trait. There is still the need to record
observed data right after actual
P25
observation time. Unstructured observation data had been criticized for being subjective, Thus, be mindful of your personal
interpretation of observed data. On the other hand, in the structured observation, you need to prepare a checklist or rating form
before the actual observation. This checklist defines the positive and negative behaviors indicative of the trait you wish to measure.
The recording is straightforward as it just requires a check on the “Yes” and “No” column for the presence or absence of the
behavior, respectively, or a check on the appropriate numerical and descriptive scale if rating scale is used. These are illustrated in
the exhibit below:

Lesson 5: Portfolio Assessment
To be able to do successfully this culminating performance task, you should have understood the
process in identifying the appropriate assessment method for a given curriculum competency. In that lesson on methods
of assessment (see lesson 2) you were guided in identifying curriculum competencies where portfolio assessment in the
appropriate method. If that was not clear to you, then this lesson will not be easy for you, too. I suggest that you back to
the lesson that explains the different methods of assessment and the type of learning target appropriate for them.
Another option is to try this lesson just the same then see if you can catch up with what it requires from a student to be
successful in doing the desired significant culminating performance task, which is to plan how to assess your students in
a subject area and level using portfolio assessment.
P28
What is portfolio assessment?
Portfolio Assessment – is an alternative to pen-and-paper objective test as an approach to assessing students’ learning. It is a
purposeful ongoing, dynamic, and collaborative process of gathering multiple indicators of the students’ growth and
development in a course or program of study. Portfolio assessment is also-based approach to assessing learning but more
authentic than any one-time performance task as it allows examination of multiple evidence of the process and product of
learning developed across time
Burke (1999) recognizes portfolio as another type of assessment and considered authentic because of the following
reasons:
It test what is really happening in the classroom.
It offers multiple indicators of students’ progress.
It gives the students the responsibility of their own learning.
It gives the students the responsibility of their own leaning.
It gives the students the responsibility of their own learning.
It offers opportunities for students to document reflections of their learning.
It demonstrates what the students know in ways that encompass their personal learning styles and multiple
intelligences.
It offers teachers new role in the assessment process.
It allows teachers to reflect on the effectiveness of their instruction.
It provides teachers freedom of gaining insights into the students’ development or achievement over a period of time.

6. Evaluate
3. Select (Using rubrics)
4. Organize 5.Reflect
1) Set Goals – This is the first step in portfolio assessment in which the student set their goals in developing learning
portfolio. To guide the students in stating their goals, the teachers may articulate first the goals of the course or
subject and his/her expectations to the students. Students could also ask what their parents expect from them. They
could also be given goal-setting planners.
P29
2) Collect – In this stage, the students should start collecting all possible entries in their portfolio. They should be advised
to have a temporary container for all their entries, and they should be placed in the school so that keeping of entries
will be part of the daily activities of the students. A good practice in collecting the portfolio entries is to have a log of
all entries with a few descriptions how they were obtained and why they were kept in the portfolio.
3) Select – This is the stage where the students are asked to select what will finally be used to gauge their success from
all their collections of possible entries in a portfolio. The selection usually depends on what the teachers requires
them to do, their parents’ choice, and the entries that they personally chose as the best gauge of their
accomplishment in the program. Selection could include evidence that show in-and out-of-class activities participated
in by the students in relation to the program.
4) Organize – This is the stage where the students decide on how they will organize their entries. The teachers should
guide them by telling them to make a table of contents for their portfolio entries and a direction on where to find
them. The organization of the portfolio could vary depending on the style of the students. Some teachers take this
stage as the opportunity for the students to develop or hone their creativity and resourcefulness. The organizer could
also be of any material, but it is suggested that the container is something flexible that it could allow one to add,
modify, or delete any entry any time. Examples of materials used in making portfolios are clearbook, album,
accordion bag, box with dividers, envelopes, colored magazines, CDs, flash drives, or cloud-based storage.
5) Reflect – An important trait of a portfolio is the presence of students’ reflections of their experiences. Making
reflective journals, log of entries and labeling an evidence in a portfolio are just some of the different ways to show
knowledge, understanding, attitudes, values, writing skills, and creativity. This is the opportunity for the students to
reflect on the meaningfulness of their experiences, as well as the impact of their teacher’s styles and methodology in
teaching.
6) Evaluate – This is the stage where the students, their peers and teachers, or even the parents are envolved in rating
the achievements of the students based on their evidence of learning, their reflections of their experiences, and the
organizations of their portfolios. Rubrics in rating portfolio should be given to the students, even at the beginning of
the portfolio process, so that they are guided on what to put in their portfolio and how to organize them based on the
criteria and indicators of a quality product or excellent performance. Evaluation of the portfolio could be done by
individual entry on a specified date or when the development is complete. However, most teachers prefer rating the
student-required evidence upon their submission so that the students can be given immediate feedback on their
work. What are usually rated at the end of portfolio development are the students’ selected evidence of their
learning, and the packaging of their portfolio, which could reveal their personal traits.
7) Confer – This stage when the teachers confer with the students or parents to discuss the students’ performance and
progress of learning. This is also the time to congratulate the students for their accomplishment or to help them
identify areas for their improvement.
8) Exhibit – This is the time to celebrate success in the form of an exhibit of students’ portfolios. The highlight of the
exhibit is the awarding of the best learning portfolio.

CHAPTER 3
Analysis and reporting of
Assessment data using
The alternative methods
To get started, it is important to review your prior knowledge on the differences between traditional and
Authentic assessment and how and when to choose a particular assessment tool that is most appropriate in measuring the
learning/instructional objectives and intended learning outcomes of your subject.
P32
What is Rubric?
A rubric is an assessment tool that specifies the performance expectations for any kind of student work, particularly those
that are not traditional in nature, such as portfolio, outputs or projects, performances, collaborative work, and research. Generally, it
contains three essential features: (1) Criteria or the aspects of performance that will be assessed;
(2) Descriptors or the characteristics associated with each criterion, and
(3) Performance levels that identify students’ level of mastery within each criterion.
The following are examples of student performances and outputs that can be assessed by a rubric:
Students Performances:
1. Oral Presentations/Demonstrations
Research paper/poster presentation
Individual or group report
Skills demonstration, such as baking and teaching
Extemporaneous speech
2. Dramatic/Creative Performances
Dance recital
Performance in a play or musicals
Poetry reading and interpretation
Playing musical instruments
3. Public Speaking
Debates
Declamation
Panel discussion
Inspirational speech
4. Athletic Skills Demonstration/Completion
Products/Outputs:
1. Visual Products
Paintings
Collages
Posters
Video presentations
2. Kinesthetic Products
Diorama
Sculpture
Dance recital
Wood carvings
3. Written Products
Essays
Poems
Thesis/term paper
Movie/Tv script
4. Verbal Products
Audiotapes
Voice recording
Speech scripts (to inform, to persuade, etc.)
P33
The following are types of rubrics:
TYPES OF RUBRIC DESCRIPTION
General/Generic Rubrics It contains criteria that are general and can be applied across tasks. This is most convenient for
teachers who do not have the time and skills in developing different types of rubric as they can reuse
the same rubrics for several tasks or assignments. However, the teacher may not be able to assess
Accurately the student’s performance for a particular task.
For example, the same rubric that can be used to evaluate both oral presentation and research
output.
Task-Specific Rubric It contains criteria that are unique to a specific performance task to be assessed. This kind of rubric is
best for instruction and formative assessment since it will provide the students feedback on what
aspect of their performance or work need to be improved. However, developing analytic rubrics is
time-consuming for teachers.
For example, a rubric can only be used for oral presentation and another rubric is applicable for
research output.
Holistic Rubric A student’s performance or output is evaluated by applying all criteria simultaneously, thus providing
a single score based on an overall judgement about the quality of student’s work. It does not provide
a score on each individual criterion.
One advantage of holistic rubric is that it is quick to develop and use by the teachers. However, it
does not inform students about their specific strengths and weaknesses, and thus, may not be as
sufficient and helpful in guiding them in improving their performance.
For example, rubric for problem solving activities which entails scoring the student’s overall ability to
solve a particular problem or issue, and rubric for creative work (e. g. painting), which gives an
overall score for the student’s creativity and skill.
Analytic Rubric A student’s work is evaluated by using each criterion separately, thus providing specific feedback
about student’s performance or product along several dimensions. This is most applicable for
assessing a complex performance or product.
One advantage is it identifies the student’s strengths and areas for improvement based on the
criteria identified. Scoring with analytic rubric however would entail more time than with a holistic
rubric.
For example, rubric for research paper that requires scoring a student’s work on different parts of
the research paper, or a rubric for chemical laboratory experiment taking into consideration the
student’s performance in every stage of the experiment.
Generic rubric – can be applied to any type off performance tasks or outputs (e. g. research report, dance performance, orap
presentation, etc.)
On the other hand, examples of the holistic and analytic rubrics are presented below:
To guide you in identifying the performance task/s that you want to be evaluated, ask yourself the following questions:
1. What learning outcomes are to be evaluated?
2. Which student performances or outputs in the subject are relevant measures of such students’ learning outcomes?
3. Are all of these tasks equally important?
4. Which is the best representation of the expected learning outcomes?
Step 2: Identify the quality attributes or indicators of the performance task.
Next, you need to identify and list all possible attributes or indicators of a good performance. This can be based from your
own expectations and benchmark exemplars of work that reflect key standards. You may explore and specify the skills, knowledge,
and or behavior that you will be looking for to describe the standard in one’s performance. Be sure to limit the characteristics that
are important.
Step 3: Determine the criteria or dimensions.
Cluster the list of attributes and or indicators into possible groups categories and label the categories. This will form the
criteria for assessment. For example, in a dance performance task, all attributes that pertain to how well the students execute the
dance in terms of movement, body position, placement in stage, and dance style can be group under the criterion “Technical Skills”.
You can also include criteria in terms of the components of a performance task. For example. For research report rubric, you can
include as dimensions introduction, materials/equipment, procedure, data, result, and analysis. Keep in mind that only relevant
criteria should be included in the rubric. You also need to determine what type of criteria (i.e., content, process, quality, or impact)
and rubric (i.e. holistic, analytic, general, or task-specific) will be used.
Step 4: Determine the benchmarks and point values.
A number of descriptors can be used to denote the levels of performance (with or without accompanying symbols for letter
or number grades). Examples of levels of performance include:
Level 4 Exemplary Distinguished Substantially Developed Outstanding
Level 3 Accomplished Proficient Mostly Developed Proficient
Level 2 Developing Apprentice Developed Acceptable
Level 1 Beginning Novice Underdeveloped Unacceptable
Step 5: Write the benchmark or performance descriptors for quality work criteria.
It is important that the behaviors, characteristics, or qualities that illustrate or exemplify each performance level are clear
and delineated. These performance descriptors should describe the relative differences between performances at each level. The
differences between performance points can be presented by:
1. Aspects of performance or behavior at different levels
i.e. evaluates the different characteristics of …..(4points)
analyzes the different characteristics of…….(3 points)
describes the different characteristics of……(2points)
lists the different characteristics of……………..(1 point)
2. adjectives, adjectival phrases, adverbs and adverbial phrases to present different qualitative differences between
levels.
i.e. explains to a very great extent the….
explains to a great extent the…..
explains with moderate accuracy the…
explains with limited accuracy the …..
3. numeric references to identify qualitative differences between levels.
i.e. gives more than 4 relevant examples of…
gives 3-4 relevant examples of…
gives 1-2 relevant examples of ……..
gives no(0) relevant examples of…
4. degree of assistance needed by the student to complete the task.
i.e. explains the topic correctly and independently on his own
explains the topic with very little assistance from the teacher or classmates.
explains the topic with occasional assistance from the teacher or classmates.
needs assistance from the teacher or classmates in explaining the topic most of the time.
P37
How can you make rubric useful to your students?
Rubric is an important component in the teaching-learning process. It does not only help teachers in assessing students’
work through application of consistent standards and in identifying the gaps in their learning but also makes students aware of what
are expected of them in relation to the assessment tasks in particular and the subject as a whole, of how they will be graded, and
eventually of how well they are meeting these expectations.
Thus, to make the rubric more relevant and useful to the students, it is important for teachers to:
1. Prepare the rubric and make it available to students before they begin with the assigned tasks to inform them the
requirements, criteria and expectations so as to guide them in carrying out their tasks.
2. Develop rubric with performance descriptors that are clear and easily understood by students.
3. Present the rubric to students and allow them to give their feedback and suggestions to improve or refine it.
4. If possible, involve students in the creation of rubric to enhance their motivation, engagement, and self-regulation;
5. Orient the students on how to effectively use the rubric, especially those that are used for self-assessment and
peer-assessment.
TRANSFER:
Now that you know the steps in designing a rubric, you can now develop one for each performance task that you intended to assess.
In the development of a rubric, take note of the following information that you need:
1. Type of rubric to be use;
2. Performance task to be evaluated;
3. Indicators of the performance task;
4. Criteria for evaluating students’ product or performance;
5. Benchmarks and point values for each criterion;
6. Performance descriptors to indicate the quality of performance.

Lesson 7: Organization and Analysis of Assessment Data
From Alternative Methods
To be able to successfully do this culminating performance task, you should have understood the different
purposes, functions and ways to make alternative forms assessment, which include performance-based assessment, affective
assessment, and portfolio assessment. In the previous lessons, you were provided with different ways, purposes, and uses of
alternative forms of assessment in the classroom setting. uses of alternative forms of assessment in the classroom setting. You have
also learned that there are competencies and skills that are appropriately measured using alternative methods of assessment.
P40
In order to analyze, present, and select the results of alternative forms of assessment, you need to know how to use and
interpret results of descriptive and inferential statistics. You are expected to read these types of statistic before you can
report the findings from scales, checklists, and rubrics.
The points depend on the quality of the behavior shown by the learner’s performance. The reliability of the assigned points
can be determined when the scoring of two or more observers to the same behavior is consistent. Such procedure entails
the use of multiple raters or judges to rate the performance. The consistency of the ratings can be obtained using a
coefficient of concordance. The Kendall’s w coefficient of concordance is used to test the agreement among raters.
P41
If a performance task was demonstrated by five students and there are three raters. The rubric used a scale of 1 to 4 where
4 is the highest and 1 is the lowest.
The score given by the three raters first computed by summating the ratings for each demonstration. The mean is obtained
from the sum of ratings (X =8.3). The mean is subtracted to each of the Sum of Ratings (D). Each difference is squared (D²),
then the sum of squares is computed ( ∑ D 2=33.2 ) .The mean and summation of squared differences are substituted in
the Kendall’s w formula. In the formula, m is the numbers or raters.
Kendall’s w coefficient of 0.38 is an estimation of the agreement of the three raters in the five demonstration
There is moderate concordance among the three raters because the coefficient is far from 1.00
Likert Scale. The Likert scale is used to measure students’ favorability and unfavorability toward certain object toward a
certain object. The favorability will depend on the degree of agreement or disagreement to a standpoint.
Example:
The policeman is helpful in the street.
________Strongly agree ________Agree _________Disagree _________Strongly disagree
To qualify the scales, a numerical score can be assigned to each of the responses. For example, 4 points can be assigned to
strongly agree, 3 points for agree, 2 points for disagree, and 1 point for strongly disagree. To get the total score for the
overall scale, the points for each item can be summated. The total score is a representation of the overall trait being
measured. Usually, high scores in a Likert scale represent favorable attitude, and low scores represent unfavorable
attitudes. Norms are created to make specific cut off points for the degree of favorability and favorability.
Verbal Frequency Scale. This is used to measure how often a habit is done. The items here are measures of a habit.
Example:
I read a book.
________Always _______Often _________Sometimes __________Rarely ___________ Never
P42
Similar to the idea of quantifying a Likert scale, a verbal frequency scale is scored by assigning numerical values for every response.
When “Always” is answered, it can be given 5 points, 4 points for often, 3 points for sometimes, 2 pints for rarely, 1 point for never.
The total score for the habit can also be estimated through a total score by summating the scores of all the items. The higher score
means high frequency of the habit while the low score means lower frequency for the habit.
Linear Numerical Scale. This is used when a large array of ratings is provided among the participants with a continuum. The
extreme points of the scale are provided with adescriptor.
Example:
Less Valuable ______________________________________________________ More valuable
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
________1. Teacher
________2. Academic coordinator
________3. Guidance counselor
________4. Assistant principal
________5. Principal
Semantic Differential Scale. This scale is used to describe the object or behavior by making use of two opposite adjectives.
Example:
Rate the teaching of your teacher based on the characteristics provided.
My teacher is:
1. Accommodating __________/_________/_________/_________/_________/_________ Alienating
5 4 3 2 1
2. Patient __________/________/__________/_________/________/___________Harsh
5 4 3 2 1
3. Knowledgeable __________/________/__________/_________/________/___________Ignorant
5 4 3 2 1
Graphic Scale. This scale uses illustration to represent the degree of presence or absence of the characteristics measured. This is
usually used for respondents, such as young children, who have limited vocabulary.
Example;
Rate how like the following food:
1. Pizza
2. Spaghetti
P43
3. Organization of content and proper sequence – The portfolio can be classified according to lesson and the entries show
the draft and final work with proper level. There are markers or tabs provided so that the teacher can easily browse through the
contents. There is table of contents found at the start of the portfolio. Every entry is properly labeled.

Lesson 1: Communicating and Reporting of Assessment
Data from Alternative Methods
In order to provide proper feedback to learners and inform them about their progress, you need to
know the techniques on how to give feedback and the guide that you need to use to determine the
concepts of your feedback. You are expected to read this before you can practice giving feedback.
P46
Why is feedback a powerful means to help learners improve?
Feedback is a powerful means of helping the learners improve their academic performance. Feedback is a specific means
that allows the learners to determine which part of their performance needs improvement. Feedback provides specific
information to learners on what they need to do to revise or redo their task in a better way. The content of feedback can be:
The part of the answer or response that needs to be corrected
The specific strategy to be used to perform the task
The suggested procedure that needs to be undertaken by the learner
A challenge to the learner to think about the appropriate response
A clarification on some misconceptions of the learner.
Feedback is given every time students perform a task whether it is paper-and-pencil test or performance task. Feedback is
provided either during or after the performance.
1) Feedback during performance – Feedback during performance can be verbal or nonverbal. Verbal feedback can
be written in a big signage (like a poster or handy white board) visible to the learner. This is possible to do when a
performance cannot be stopped like when one is currently dancing or singing. The teacher can also provide feedback
in segments of the performance where the teacher can pause like when performing drama or doing some
presentations. The feedback during performance is useful to immediately correct the performance to avoid further
mistakes.
2) Feedback after performance – Feedback can also be given after the performance of the task. This is appropriate
when learners provided another opportunity to revise and show again the performance. This is applicable for writing
essay and compositions where students submit the completed work before a full feedback is provided. Students in
this tasks have the opportunity to rewrite their work and resubmit for another round of feedback.
To make feedback a powerful means o help learners improve, the following can be considered:
1) Feedback needs to be specific and concrete. The following are illustrations of general and specific feedback.
2) Feedback needs to be based on the agreed criteria. The criteria serve as a guide to provide feedback on the work. For
example, the criteria in writing a technical paper are as follows:
The parts are organized according to the guide questions.
The ideas are well understood by the reader.
The information included are accurate.
More than 5 references are used.
P47
Feedback NOT based on Criteria Feedback based on Criteria
There are several grammatical errors in the paper Check again the idea conveyed by the author in the journal because
there are discrepancies on page 3 (pertaining to the criteria on
accuracy of information)
The headings needs to be in bold font. Add one more reference to support further your claim on the benefits
of using organic fertilizers on page 5 (pertaining to the criteria on
references)
2. Let the learners reflect on each entry in the portfolio. This can be guided when the teacher starts to ask
questions pertaining to the learning strategy used.
3. Let the learners report their observation on the transition of one work to another. Ask questions for the learners
to describe and compare their previous work with their present work by pointing at the differences, things that
are present and missing among the entries, and the changes that happened from one entry to another.
4. Ask the learners to reflect on the other areas that need to be continued and improve for the succeeding work.
Make the learners commit to their future plan strategy when engaging on the same task.
Help the learners focus on making specific and achievable plans.
5. End the conversation with the learners with an encouragement and a belief that they can improve and are
capable of mastering the task.
