The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assesses the knowledge and skills of 15-year-old students in mathematics, reading and science
The tests explore how well students can solve complex problems, think critically and communicate effectively
This gives insights into how well education systems are preparing students for real life challenges and future success
The Philippines participated for the first time in PISA in 2018
By comparing results internationally, policy makers and educators in the Philippines can learn from other countries' policies and practices
OBE is a process of curriculum design, teaching, learning and assessment that focuses on what students can actually do after they are taught
OBE focuses on
What is essential for all learners to know
What is essential for all learners to value
What is essential for all learners to do
Learning results
Clear actions and performances that embody and reflect learner's competence in using content, information, ideas and tool successfully
The shift's goal is to have a way for more learners to become more capable, empowered and successful than what traditional conditions were allowing
According to CHED, OBE is an approach to achieve a desired level of competence at the time of graduation
Assessment
The process of gathering evidence of students' performance over period of time to determine learning and mastery of skills
Assessment
The process of gathering and organizing, quantitative or qualitative data into an interpretable form to have a basis for judgment or decision making
Any method used to understand the current knowledge that a student possesses is assessment
The purpose of assessment is to determine whether expectations match standards set by school authorities
Assessment
Provides students, parents and teachers with reliable information regarding student progress and extent of attainment of the expected learning outcomes
Assessment subsumes measurement and instigates evaluation
Maximum performance
It manifests what students can do at their level best
Typical performance
It shows what students will do or choose to do
Aptitude test
It measures a learner's ability or capability to learn
Achievement and aptitude tests
They convey to teachers and other evaluators how a learner is likely to perform in school – his/her propensity to succeed
Attitude, interest and personality inventories
They assess how a learner's ability is evident if demonstrated on a regular basis
Fixed-choice test
It is used to measure knowledge and skills effectively and efficiently
Complex-performance assessment
It is used to measure the performance of the learner in contexts and on problems valued in their own right
It is a type of assessment in which the students choose their answer from a given list of choices
Alternative assessment
An assessment in which students create an original response to answer a certain question, respond to a question using their own ideas and in their own words
Traditional assessment
Paper and pencil test, short answer questions and essay
Performance-based assessment
It is an assessment in which students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrates meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills
The teacher is an important collaborator in creating tasks, as well as in developing guidelines for scoring and interpretation
Performance-based assessment
It is a direct measure of student performance because the tasks are designed to incorporate context, problems and solution strategies that students would use in real-life. It focuses on processes and rationales
Portfolio assessment
It is a systematic, longitudinal collection of student work created in response to specific known instructional objectives and evaluated in relation to the same criteria
Portfolio
It is a purposeful collection of student work that exhibits student's efforts, progress and achievements in one or more areas over a period of time. It measures growth and development of students
Evaluation
It is a process designed to provide information that will help us to make judgment about a particular situation
Assessment is a prerequisite to evaluation
Evaluation
It refers to the process of judging the quality of what is good and what is desirable
Assessment data gathered by the teacher have to be interpreted in order to make sound decisions about students and the teaching-learning process
Rubric
A type of scoring guide that assesses and articulates specific components and expectations for an assignment
Rubrics can be used for
Research papers
Group projects
Portfolios
Presentations
Rubric
An assessment tool often shaped like a matrix, which describes levels of achievement in a specific area of performance, understanding, or behavior
