ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING,

ASSESSMENT AS LEARNING AND
ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING:
HOW ARE THEYARE PRACTICED?

My FS Learning Episode Overview

This episode introduces assessment FOR learning, assessment AS learning and
assessment OF learning.
Prepositions for, as and of mean a lot. They make a big difference in assessment.
Assessment FOR learning, assessment AS learning and assessment OF leaning have
different purposes. You learned them in your subjects on Assessment. In this episode, you
will observe how they are applied in the teaching-learning process.

My Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

distinguish among the 3 forms of assessment and
draw concrete examples of these form of assessment.
My Performance Criteria

I will be rated along the following:

a quality of my observations and documentation,
b completeness and depth of my analysis,
c depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e time of submission of my portfolio.

My Analysis

1. Did you observe assessment practices for the three (3) forms of assessment? Explain your
answer.
Yes, but the teacher usually used is the formative and summative assessment, because during her
discussion she has lots of question and after also her discussion she let her students to write what
they understand.

2. Are the results of assessment OF learning affected by the observance/implementation of

assessment FOR learning? Explain your answer.

3. Based on your observations, to what extent is Assessment AS Learning (self-assessment)

practiced compared to Assessment FOR (formative) and OF Learning (summative)?

4. Which phrase refers to assessment FOR learning? Assessment OF learning? Assessment

AS learning?
DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 states: Assessment is a process that is used to keep track
of learners progress in relation to learning standards, to promote self-reflection and
personal accountability among students about their own learning and to provide bases for
the profiling of the student performance on the learning competencies and the standards of
the curriculum.

FOR - Assessment is a process that is used to keep track of learners progress in relation to
learning standards.

OF- Provide bases for the profiling of the student performance on the learning competencies and
the standards of the curriculum.

AS -To promote self-reflection and personal accountability among students about their own
learning.
 My Reflections

Write your reflections on the following:

1. As a student, did you like assessment? Do students like assessment? Why or why not?

2. What can you do to eliminate students fear of assessment? Can frequent formative
assessment (Formative assessment) reduce if not eliminate fear of assessment?

3. Do you like the idea and practice of self-assessment (assessment AS learning)? Why or
why not?
 Integrating Theory and Practice

1. Teacher Emma gave a True-False pretest on social justice. Based on the pretest results,

forms of assessment explained, which one/s did Teacher Emma do?

A. Assessment OF Learning C. Assessment FOR Learning

B. Assessment AS Learning D. Assessment FOR and AS Learning

2. The class was taught how to conduct an action research and was required an end-of-the-
term written research report. The class was taught how to do the research report and was
shown an Analytic Scoring Rubric for them to know how they will be graded. The class
took the Scoring Rubric guide in the making of their research report. They were all
motivated to pass an excellent research report and as a grouped checked now and then if
they were true to the qualities of an excellent research report as seen in the scoring rubric.
