4. Quarterly
Assessment
measures student
learning at the end of
the quarter. These
may be in the form of
objective tests,
performance-based
assessment, or a
combination thereof.
WHAT IS ASSESSMENT?
• Classroom Assessment is an integral
part of curriculum implementation. It
allows the teachers to track and
measure learners’ progress and to
adjust instruction
accordingly. Classroom
assessment informs the learners, as
well as their parents and guardians, of
their progress.

5. COMMON OBSERVATION OF
STUDENTS ON TEST QUESTIONS
PRESENTATION TITLE
5
• Hindi naman kasama sa lessons.
• Hindi na-discuss sa klase.
• Masyadong mahaba ang question at mga pagpipilian.
• Hindi maayos ang lay-out ng test, putol-putol ang mga
sentences.
• Nakakalito ang mga tanong.
• Wala sa choices yung tamang sagot.
• Wrong ang grammar naman.
6. POSSIBLE REASONS FOR
FAULTY TEST QUESTIONS
• Questions are copied verbatim from the
book or other resources.
• Not consulting the course outline/CG.
• Much consideration is given to reduce
printing cost.
• No TOS or TOS was made after making the
test.
7. FACTORS TO CONSIDER IN
PREPARING A TEST QUESTION
20XX PRESENTATION TITLE 7
• Purpose of the test
• Time available to prepare, administer, and
score a test.
• Number of students to be tested.
• Skill of the teacher in writing the test.
• Facilities available in reproducing the test.
8. “ To be able to prepare a GOOD TEST,
one has to have a mastery of the
subject matter, knowledge of the
learners to be tested, skill in verbal
expression and the use of the
different test format”.
9. CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD TEST
• VALIDITY- the extent to which the test measures what it intends to
measure.
• RELIABILITY- the consistency with which a test measures what is it
supposed to measure.
• USABILITY- the test can be administered with ease, clarity, and
uniformity.
• SCORABILITY- Easy to score
• INTERPRETABILITY- test results can be properly interpreted and is a
major basis in making sound educational decisions.
• ECONOMICAL- the test can be reused without compromising its
validity and reliability.
10. STEPS IN PLANNING FOR A TEST
•Identifying test objectives.
•Deciding on the type of objective test to be
prepared.
•Preparing a Table of Specifications (TOS)
•Constructing the draft test items.
•Trying-out and validating the test items.
11.
12. TABLE OF SPECIFICATIONS (TOS)
• A two-way chart that relates the learning outcomes to the course
content.
• It is a test map that guides the teacher in constructing a test.
• It ensures that there is a balance between items that test lower-level
thinking skills and those which test higher-order thinking skills.
• It ensures balance between easy and difficult items
• It enables the teacher to prepare a test containing a representative
sample of student knowledge in each of the areas tested.
13. TABLE OF SPECIFICATIONS
•A TOS consists of the following:
• Level of objectives to be tested.
• Statement of objective.
• Item numbers where such an objective is being
tested.
• Number of items and percentage out of the total for
that particular objective.
14. THINGS THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
BEFORE CONSTRUCTING A TOS
•The TOS requires a thorough knowledge of Bloom’s
Revised Taxonomy /BRT
• Create a TOS following the standard format used
by DepED.
• The TOS requires some simple mathematical
computation that will result to proportional
allocation of test items per topic/LC.
17. CHANGES IN TERMS
Noun to verb
Thinking is an active process therefore verbs are more
accurate
Knowledge is a product of thinking and was
inappropriate to describe a category of thinking and
was replaced with the word remembering.
Comprehension became understanding and Synthesis
was renamed Creating in order to better reflect the
nature of the thinking described by each category.

71. More reminders:
1. Begin writing items well ahead of time when they will be used; allow time for revision.
2. Match items to intended outcomes at the proper difficulty level to provide a valid measure of the
instructional objectives.
3. Be sure that the problem posed is clear and unambiguous. Use grammar, punctuation,
and spelling consistently.
4. Minimize the time required to read each item.
5. Avoid trick items.
6. The ideal question will be answered by the 60-65% of tested population.
7. Have your questions peer-reviewed.
8. Use pictorial materials that require learners to apply principles and concepts.
9. Use charts, tables or figures that require interpretation.
10. Write items in which there is one and only one correct answer.
11. The phrase that introduces the item (STEM) should clearly state the problem.
12. The position of the correct answer should vary randomly from item to item.
72. 3. Are all options parallel in type of content? Is each distracter plausible? (Credible, reasonable, believable, feasible)
4. Do the options avoid repetitive words?

If nothing else, others in length(pyramiding)—not vital, last choice
9. Are the words NOT, EXCEPT, TRUE, FALSE and BEST highlighted?
10. Are spaces put between items?
74. Points to ponder:
A good lesson makes a good question
A good question makes a good content
A good content makes a good test
A good test makes a good grade
A good grade makes a good student
A good student makes a good community.

Low grades of our learners can be associated or link to the test that we are giving. (Extraneous variable).
Teachers provide appropriate assessments when they aim to holistically measure learner’s current and developing abilities.
Assessment is a process that is utilized to keep track of learners progress in relation to learning standards.
Assessment promote self-reflection and personal accountability among students about their own learning.
CLASSROOM-Assessment is an on-going process of identifying, gathering, organizing, and interpreting quantitative and qualitative information about what learners know and learners can do.
These are some common experiences and observations of learners as far as assessment is concerned. Actual status.
Factors that may contribute to faulty construction of test questions.
Things to do when preparing or planning to craft your Test Questions.
Principles of Assessment-
Art of Questioning-ffective questioning techniques. Questions have the potential to change classrooms and strengthen student achievement. Through our questions, our students become thinkers, and they learn the important traits of perseverance, risk taking, creativity, and flexibility.
What is Bloom’s Taxonomy?
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a classification of thinking organized by levels of complexity. It gives teachers and learners an opportunity to learn and practice a range of thinking and provides a simple structure for many kinds of questions.

This is about students recalling key information, for example, the meaning of a word.
They do not require any sort of critical thinking or opinionated answers.
Simple recall of concept.
Definition
here are three levels of understanding: literal, inferential, and propositional. Literal comprehension is the basic understanding of the text, often answered by questions such as who, what, when, and where.
Constructing meaning from oral, written, and graphic messages through interpreting, exemplifying, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining.
The ability to use learned material in new and concrete situations. This may include the application of such things as rules, methods, concepts, principles, laws, and theories. Learning outcomes in this area require a higher level of understanding than those of comprehension.
the ability to break down material into its component parts so that its organizational structure may be understood. This may include the identification of the parts, analysis of the relationship between parts, and recognition of the organizational principles involved.
making judgments about something based on criteria and standards. This requires checking and critiquing an argument or concept to form an opinion about its value.
Putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning, or producing.
This level encourages students to demonstrate their knowledge by building something tangible or conceptual.
