EDUCATION 7 Activity 1 BASIC CONCEPTS OF IN ASSESSMENT (KEY TERMS)
• Assessment - refers to the different components and activities
of different schools. An assessment can be used to student learning and comparing student learning with the learning goals of an academic program. Assessment is defined as an act of process of collecting and interpreting information about student learning.
Assessment is the systematic basis for making inferences about
the learning and development of students. It is the process of defining, selecting, designing, collecting, analysing, interpreting, and using information to increase students' learning and development.
Evaluation - Refers to the process of judging the quality of what
is good and what is desirable. It is the comparison of data to a set of standard or learning criteria for the purpose of judging the worth or quality.
• Measurement - is a process of quantifying or assigning number
to individual’s intelligence, personality, attitudes and values, and achievement of the students.
• Test -is formal and systematic instrument, usually paper and
pencil procedure designed to assess the quality, ability, skill or knowledge of the students by giving a set of question in uniform manner. A test is one of the many types of assessment procedure used to gather information about the performance of students. • Testing - is one of the different methods used to measure the level of performance or achievement of the learners. Testing also refers to the administration, scoring, and interpretation of the procedures designed to get information about the extend of the performance of the students.
• Formative Assessment - is a type of assessment used to monitor
the learning progress of the students during instruction. The purposes of formative assessment are the following: to provide immediate feedback to both student and teacher regarding the success and failures of learning; to identify the learning errors that need correction; to provide teachers with information on how to modify instruction; and, to improve learning and instruction.
• Placement Assessment - according to Gronlund, Linn, and Miller
(2009) is concerned with entry performance and typically focuses on the questions.
Placement assessments are used to “place” students into a
course, course level, or academic program.For this reason, placement assessments are administered before a course or program begins, and the basic intent is to match students with appropriate learning experiences that address their distinct learning needs.
• Diagnostic Assessment - a type of assessment given at the
beginning of instruction or during instruction. It aims to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the students regarding the topics to be discussed.
• Summative Assessment - is a type of assessment usually given
at the end of a course or unit. The purposes of summative assessment are to determine the extent to which the instructional objectives have been met; to certify student mastery of the intended learning outcomes as well as use it for assigning grades; to provide information for judging appropriateness of the instructional objectives; and to determine the effectiveness of instruction.
• Traditional Assessment - It is a type of assessment in which the
students choose their answer from a given list of choice. Examples of this type of assessment are multiple-choice test, standard true/false test, matching type test, and fill-in-the- blank test.
Portfolio Assessment - is the systematic, longitudinal collection
of student work created in response to specific, known instructional objectives and evaluated in relation to the same criteria (Ferenz, K,2001).
Performance Assessment - is an assessment in which students
are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills. ACTIVITY 2

Activity 3 - ASSESSING LEARNING OUTCOMES (KEY TERMS) Goals - A broad statement of very general educational outcomes that do not include specific level of performance. It tends to change infrequently and in response to the special pressures, e.g., learn problem solving skills; develop high level thinking skills; appreciate the beauty of an art; be creative; and be competent in the basic skills in grammar.
Objectives -: something toward which effort is directed: an aim,
goal, or end of action. b : a strategic position to be attained or a purpose to be achieved by a military operation. 2 : a lens or system of lenses that forms an image of an object.
that clearly describe what the learner will know or be able to do as a result of having attended an educational program or activity. Educational objectives must be observable and measurable.
Specific / behavior objectives - Precise statement of behavior to
be exhibited by the students; the criterion by which mastery of the objectives will be judge; the statement of the conditions under which behavior must be demonstrated. General / expressive objectives -Statement wherein the behaviors are not usually specified and the criterion of the performance level is not stated. It only describes the experience or educational activity to be done
Learning outcome - statements that describe the knowledge or
skills students should acquire by the end of a particular assignment, class, course, or program, and help students understand why that knowledge and those skills will be useful to them.
Learning activity -as the name suggests, are activities designed
or deployed by the teacher to bring about, or create the conditions for learning. ... Some learning activities stimulate experiential learning, others mobilise conceptual thinking, while still others prompt students to engage in analytical discussion.
Observable outcome - outcome from an observable process. It
can be represented by an Observable State Variable. It can range from being an Observed Outcome to being an Unobserved Outcome. Unobservable outcome - an entity whose existence, nature, properties, qualities, or relations are not directly observable by humans.
Cognitive domain - called for outcomes of mental activity such
as memorizing, reading problem solving, synthesizing and drawing conclusions. Also focused on intellectual skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, and creating a knowledge base.
Affective domain - describes learning objectives that
emphasize a feeling tone, an emotion, or a degree of acceptance or rejection. Affective objectives vary from simple attention to selected phenomena to complex but internally consistent qualities of character and conscience.
Educational taxonomy - are classification systems based on an
organizational scheme. In this instance, a set of carefully defined terms, organized from simple to complex and from concrete to abstract, provide a framework of categories into which one may classify educational goals.
