    UTILIZATION OF

    ASSESSMENT DATA
    DONNA PAZ Y. AMBOY
    LEARNING OUTCOMES
    • Identify the measures of central tendency;
    • Calculate the mean, mode median of the students’ scores;
    • Identify and compute for Standard Deviation; and
    • Interpret the result of standard deviation;
    • Introduction:
    • Statistics is a very important tool in the utilization of the assessment data
    most especially in describing, analyzing and interpreting the performance
    of the students in the assessment procedures.
    • The teachers should have the necessary background in the statistical
    procedures used in the assessment of student learning in order to give a
    correct description and interpretation about the achievement of the students
    in a certain test whether classroom assessment conducted by the teacher.
    • STATISTICS
    • Is a branch of science deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and
    interpretation of quantitative data.
    • Branches
    • Descriptive statistics
    Is a method concerned with collecting, describing and analyzing a set of data
    without drawing conclusions or inferences about the large group.
    • Inferential statistics
    Is a branch of statistics concerned with the analysis of a subset of data leading to
    predictions or inferences about the entire set of data.
    • Measure of Central Tendency
    • Provides a very convenient way of describing a set of scores with a single
    number that describes the performance of the group.
    • It is also defined as a single value that is used to describe the “center” of
    the data.
    • There are 3 commonly used measures of central tendency: mean, median
    and mode
    • Median
    • is the number that falls in
    the middle position once the
    data has been organized.
    Organized data means the
    numbers are arranged from
    smallest to largest or from
    largest to smallest. The
    median for an odd number
    of data values is the value
    that divides the data into two
    halves. If n represents the
    number of data values and n
    is an odd number, then the
    median will be found in the
    n + 1 position.

    • Measures of Variation
    • A measure of variability is a summary statistic that represents the amount
    of dispersion in a dataset. How spread out are the values?
    • While a measure of central tendency describes the typical value, measures
    of variability define how far away the data points tend to fall from the
    center.
    • We talk about variability in the context of a distribution of values. A low
    dispersion indicates that the data points tend to be clustered tightly around
    the center. High dispersion signifies that they tend to fall further away.
    • Standard Deviation
    • Most important measures of variation.
    • Known as the square root of the variance
    • The average distance of all the scores that deviates from
    the mean value.
    The standard deviation is the standard or typical difference between each data point and the
    mean. When the values in a dataset are grouped closer together, you have a smaller
    standard deviation. On the other hand, when the values are spread out more, the standard
    deviation is larger because the standard distance is greater.

    Conveniently, the standard deviation uses the original units of the data, which makes
    interpretation easier. Consequently, the standard deviation is the most widely used measure
    of variability.
