In the assessment of cognitive domain, you have used the Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy or
Cognitive Processes identified as remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and
creating. As presented in Lesson 2, in the affective domain of learning, Krathwohl et al. (1964)
developed a taxonomy of affective qualities that can serve as guide in doing affective assessment. As
shown in Table 2.1, these include the following behavior:
1. To receive: In this level of affective behavior, the learner demonstrates an awareness in an activity
that is happening such that he/she gives attention to that activity. This level involves willingness to
receive the stimulus. For example, looking at the teacher during lecture is an awareness on a learning
stimulus, but listening and paying attention indicate willingness in receiving that stimulus.
2. To respond: In this case, the learner reacts to a given stimulus or information that has been
received. If a learner participates in a class discussion, and not merely listening, then the learner is in
this level of behavior. This behaviour may be compliance to a given task, voluntary engagement, or
doing an activity with interest.
3. To value: This is the level where the learner demonstrates commitment to the object, knowledge, or
activity. Here, the learner has internalized a set of specific values such that these values are
manifested through overt behaviors. For example, picking up litters outside the classroom without
teacher's presence or saving money for a book, or putting off lights after class on own volition are
"valuing" behaviors.

4. To organize: This is the level where the learner has internalized and integrated his or her feelings,
emotions, beliefs, opinions, etc., resulting to actions where new values and traits emerged. In this
level, the learner is able to discern independently the right from wrong, and he/she is able to make a
decision on what is more valuable based on his or her own judgment.
5. To characterize: In this level of affective trait, the learner demonstrates his or her beliefs and
attitudes not only in a single event or situation but in multiple events, showing consistency of the
behavior that establishes an image or character of the learner. The behavior extends beyond the
school setting and becomes part of his or her lifestyle. For example, if doing an experiment has
instilled the value of patience, such trait could be carried over to the student's nonscience activities.

One danger of having the numeric scale values of 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 is the possibility that an option
with a higher value will be more attractive to the respondents. You have the choice to omit the numeric
scale and just indicate the actual scale labels in the instrument. Likewise, descriptive labels and
numeric scale value can vary to be more congruent with the Likert items. For example, in a Reading
Interest Inventory, some items may be written this way:
" like reading books by myself"
"I save my money to buy extra books I like."
The two statements above are action statements rather than commonly used Strongly Agree, Agree,
etc. It may be more appropriate to use the descriptive scale labels and numeric scale values as:
Always (5); Almost Always (4); Sometimes 5 Rarely (2); Never (1) or Always (5); Very Often (4); Often
(3); Not Very Often (2);Never (1).
The 5-point scale is the most common continuum, but this will be more fitted if your respondents
are adults. A 4-point or 3-point scale will be easier for younger respondents. Also, instead of the
numerical values that usually appear in many of the standardized rating scales, some visuals might be
more useful to catch the attention of the younger respondents in answering the instrument.
The following is another example:
In your science class, how frequently did you find yourself experiencing the following
situations?
Always Sometimes Rarely Never
1. I enjoy being in science class.
2. My science teacher gives me interesting
things to do in and outside the school.
3 Doing experiment in science is fun and
exciting.
4. I love listening to what my teacher says
about the world we live in.
5. I enjoy making science assignments and
projects with classmates.
6. Handling microscope and other science
equipment makes me nervous.
7. Science makes me nervous than any other
subject.
8. The exercises during our lessons are
boring.
An alternative format for labelling the response shown in the previous page may work out better for
some respondents especially to lower age level of students.

2. Interview. This is an 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 assessment data are not just answerable by "Yes" or "No"
or other predetermined responses.

Interviews may be structured or unstructured. In the structured interview, there is a planned
sequence of questions, which lead to open- ended discussions between the teacher and the student,
either done individually or by group. On the other hand, informal interview will appear to be natural,
and it can create a more conversational environment for sharing, wherein the teacher will be able to
elicit more truthful information from students about themselves.
For interview to be an effective assessment tool, the following are general steps in developing
and conducting 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 a 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 the
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. Student Journals. These are effective tools that can be used in assessing and monitoring student
thinking and attitudes. Journal writing gives students guided opportunities to “think aloud” through
writing. It is a special form of documentation that records personal experiences and thoughts. It is a
reflection of learners' own perception about a problem, a situation, or an activity they are tasked with.
A student 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.

The measures obtained from observation approach can be made more valid and reliable with the
following guidelines:
1. Set a clear definition of the affective trait you want to observe.
2. Prepare a checklist or rating scale that will define the more specific affective behavior you want to
capture. This checklist or rating scale will also be used in collecting and recording your data.
3. Consult with a colleague or expert about the behavior listed as doable for observation or not. You
can try this with a sample of students.
4 Have a colleague /colleagues to work with you in the actual observation time.
5. Be clear on ethical issues.
6. Record the observation immediately. Use the checklist, supplemented by anecdotal records that are
an open-ended way to record observation. Record factual observation and be cautious on personal
interpretation and biased statements.
7. Review data. Reflect on outcomes.
8. Decide future steps based on the observation results.
9. Adjust planning and apply interventions.
10. Monitor progress.

4. Organize Reflect
1. Set Goals
This is the first step in portfolio assessment in which the students set their goals in developing a
learning portfolio. To guide the students in stating their goals, the teachers may articulate first the
goals of the course or subject and his or her expectations to the students. Students could also ask
what their parents expect from them. They could also be given goal-setting planners.
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 this 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.
