Although she doesn’t record the results of the voluntary recitation, Mrs. Cabanig revealed that she includes them as
part of her planning to improve student learning, i.e., she modifies the lesson according to their needs.
She also takes note of those who participate in class and gives bonuses to the more active ones at the end of each
grading period.
After the discussion, she gave them a QUIZ, which required them to interpret electric field lines and apply
Coulomb’s law by solving a few exercises.
Both methods of assessment are CONVENTIONAL or TRADITIONAL in nature. They simply determine
whether the students have acquired a body of knowledge, without requiring them to demonstrate understanding by
performing a more complex task usually representative of more meaningful application.
We were informed, however, that authentic assessments tend to take place during their Laboratory classes
(Tuesdays from 2pm to 3pm). During these periods, the students are tasked to conduct experiments using electronic
equipment. They even have computers that allow them to perform guided simulations. Oftentimes, Mrs. Cabanig and a
partner student begin the period by demonstrating an experiment in front, with the rest of the class observing. This is
then followed by the rest of the class conducting individual or group experiments, if such is feasible, with the aid of
their laboratory manual. Experimentation is followed by answering questions based on what they’ve experienced.
Class discussions conclude these activities.

Analysis
Variety
Although we were made privy to Mrs. Cabanig’s utilization of only two
methods of assessment, she told us that these are not the only methods she
employs throughout the year. Apart from quizzes and voluntary recitations,
she also gives projects and, as mentioned earlier, authentic assessments in the
laboratory through graded experimentations and simulations. She also gives
summative assessments in the form of long exams at the end of each grading
period.
It seems, however, that Mrs. Cabanig is prone to utilizing the same small
range of assessment methods for a broad range of topics and desired learning
outcomes. The danger here lies in the possibility that she only ends up
assessing the same skill sets over and over, and may also serve to
disadvantage those individuals who find these methods more challenging
(multiple intelligences do not seem to be given sufficient consideration).
Over-reliance also encourages a surface approach to learning, with the student

whether the day’s objectives were met, as well as provided a means for grading the students at the end of the year.
The voluntary recitation portion allowed Mrs. Cabanig to monitor the effectiveness of her teaching methods in real-
time and allowed her to identify portions that needed further clarification, apart from providing her with the means
to encourage active participation (through the promise of an end-of-the-year bonus) and higher order thinking, which
is, in itself, a desirable skill.
Appropriateness
Furthermore, it bears noting that both methods properly and appropriately assessed the students’ expected

For this lesson, I think Mrs. Cabanig’s goals would have been better served if she began the period by employing a
Misconception/Preconception Check in the form of a non-graded pre-test to recall what they have learned about
ELECTRIC FORCE, making sure that everyone has the prerequisite knowledge for its later application to the
concept of electric fields and potential difference. This will likely eat up the 1st five minutes of the period and should
precede the introduction of the new topic. No less than a perfect score is required, and it will be easy enough to
separate those papers with wrong answers (i.e., misconceptions about the prior lesson). She can then spend a few
minutes correcting those misconceptions for the benefit of the whole class before presenting the current topic.
After the class discussion (which includes the embedded voluntary recitation portion), Mrs. Cabanig would also do
well to employ the Empty Outlines technique in order to assess each students’ compliance with the day’s objectives.
She can later return these checked and corrected outlines to serve as reviewers for the students, as well as provide her
with the means to identify the parts of the lesson that need to be retaught. The same quiz can still be given as an
adjunct to this. Both can be included as a small component of the students’ grades at the end of the quarter and year. At
the very least, these submissions may serve as a means of checking attendance in lieu of wasting precious time doing
roll call.
As for Authentic assessments, these can indeed wait until the next laboratory class, or can be given in the form of
an end-of-unit-rubrics-scored assessment (or an end-of-quarter one if this proves to be more feasible), as I earlier
proposed in the course of my analysis.
All in all, I think Mrs. Cabanig is a really good teacher who knows how to explain concepts clearly. She just needs
a bit of variety in her assessment methods, taking into consideration her teaching goals, the real-world value of her
lessons (particularly the importance of this being appreciated by her students), and the diversity of learners (emphasis
on multiple intelligences) in her class, in order to teach exceptionally.
“We are not arguing that one assessment approach is good and
another bad: the key issue is around fitness for purpose.”

Test Item 9: B
What is the interest if the principal is Php180,000 at 5% for 75 days (use the 6%-60-Day-Method)?
a. Php1,800 b. Php1,875
c. Php1,575 d. Php375
According to the 6%-60-Day Method, the interest on a principal at 6% for 60 days is equal to P(0.01). As such, one can easily say that
the interest on Php180,000 at 6% for 60 days is Php 1,800. Even without computing further, the student can already eliminate option A.
He can further eliminate options C and D for being less than that amount, given the 15-day difference. So the clear answer would be B.
The student who has attained the objective stated above no longer has to go through lengthy computations to solve the problem.
To completely solve the problem, however, he first has to know what the interest rate is at 5% for 60 days. This he may do by simply dividing Php1,800 by 6 (to get the Interest at 1%
for 60 days) and multiplying the result by 5. This will give him Php1,500. Since he has 15 more days left, he has to get the Interest at 5% for 15 days, which is as simple as dividing the
amount by 4, because 15 days is a fourth of 60 days. This will give him Php375. Adding Php1500 and Php375 will provide him with the interest at 5% for 75 days which id Php1,875.

Solution: Solution:
Principal = Php 25,000 A=P(1+rt)
Interest from 1 Aug to 15 Sept =Php200,000 [1+(0.06x128/360)]
(Php25,000)(0.06)(46/360) = + Php 191.67
=Php204,266.67
Balance before 5 Dec = Php 25,191.67
Payment made on 5 Dec = 6,000
Payment on 15 June = Php60,000
Balance after 15 Sept = Php 19,191.67 Interest from 15 June to 5 Sept = + 2,766.67
Interest due on balance from
16 Sept to 5 Dec
(Php19,191.67)(0.06)(82/360) = + Php 262.29 Total credits = Php62,766.67
Php19,453.95
Therefore, the answer is C:
Php204,266.67 – 62,766.67 = Php141,500.00

NOTE:
The first time I constructed the test, I actually made a mistake in entering the choices for this number.
Letter A should be “a. Php323,249.80” (not Php321,216.43). I edited it later but it seems that I printed the
wrong version of the file for submission, so Mr. Camacho’s students got test item 15 as it appears above. As
such, the test item should be INVALIDATED and offered as a BONUS instead. However, to be fair to those
who correctly applied the formulas and answered “A” simply because it was the option nearest to the
actual FMV, I suggest that the entire exam be computed as is (still considering Letter A to be the correct
answer), and simply giving everyone an additional point to their raw score at the end of the test.
Those who answered letter A will, in effect, receive a 2-point bonus while
those who chose the other options will only receive a single bonus point.

NOTE:
Once again, I must apologize to Mr. Camacho and his class for printing the wrong version of the file for
submission. The option in letter C should actually read thus: “Choice B because this will allow you to collect
Php11,000 at the age of 30.” The first time I computed the answer, I mistakenly utilized the formula for
compound interest instead of the correct one which is P+Prt.
As such, the test item should be INVALIDATED and offered as a BONUS instead. However, to be fair
to those who correctly applied the formulas and answered “C” simply because it was the option nearest to
the actual FMV, I suggest that the entire exam be computed as is (still considering Letter C to be the correct
answer), and simply giving everyone an additional point to their raw score at the end of the test.
Those who answered letter C will, in effect, receive a 2-point bonus while those
who chose the other options will only receive a single bonus point.

The UL Method
Laurentina Paler-Calmorin (2014) tells us that while there are actually several item analysis procedures available,
the UL Method has the advantage of being the simplest one. This is the procedure I intend to utilize in this episode.

Following the steps set forth by Ms. Paler-
Calmorin in pages 94 to 98 of our textbook
Arrange the scores from
(Assessment of Student Learning 1, 2014), I first HIGHEST to LOWEST.
entered all the students’ scores into an Excel file and
sorted them from Highest to Lowest.
Note that the test was administered to two Grade 11 classes: one class on the Technical, Vocational, and Livelihood
Track (Grade 11-TVL) and another on the STEM Track (Grade 11-STEM). They each consist of 48 students, thus

The index of difficulty for each test item can be obtained
Estimate the index of using the formula
difficulty.
VERY DIFFICULT items as is—i.e., having a little more of the former to offset the possibility of getting the latter
wrong. And of the 20 MODERATE items given, only 9 are on the difficult side—the rest are relatively easy. As such,
I think that if I do revise the exam due to the other indices, I’d like to keep the current composition in terms of
difficulty.
It still surprises me how the items I thought for sure were easy (i.e., items 1, 16, 28, and 29) ended up being the
most difficult for the students. I think Mr. Camacho has to explore this further with his students through informal
inquiry. Revisiting Table 2 once again, it is apparent that the main cause for the categorization of these questions as
“VERY Difficult” is the inability of his STEM students to arrive at the correct answer for these items. The items are
actually very straightforward tests for their stated objectives. There seems to be a lot of confusion on the matter that
warrants clarification. I might even go so far as to say that in the case of Items 1, 16, 28, and 29, it is not the items that
need changing, but rather their overall preparation to meet them. Either that or I really employed very potent
distractors on those questions. !

“VERY Difficult” earlier in terms of ID. Item 16 is the one that calls for a simple identification of an annuity’s
PERIOD of DEFERRAL, while Item 29 called for the computation of a BOND INVESTOR’S TOTAL EARNINGS.
I honestly don’t think that either question needs further improvement, but such is the rule taught in class. We are to
RETAIN only those items with a discriminating power of greater than 0 to 1.0, and DISCARD or IMPROVE the
items with a discriminating power of 0 or less (negative).
Personally, I’d rather find out first what the students’ problem is with those topics before doing anything drastic.
For purposes of this episode, however, let’s just say that I’m going to IMPROVE on those items. This will still
require actually determining what the problem is with the item in the first place. Perhaps a quick interview of a
handful of students from the STEM class should suffice to inform test reconstruction. In the course of this inquiry, I
could give them a few alternative problems with the same objectives and check if it produces the same result. It really
would be quicker to just first ask them how they came up with the answers they did. Most likely there is a need to
clarify a few misconceptions on those topics.
On a more uplifting note, allow me to point out that based on the above, as well as the glaring differences between
the scores of both sections, I clearly constructed an Achievement Test that (save for 3 measly items where only a
handful of LG students from TVL got the answer) successfully discriminates between high and low achievers. ! 38

Laurentina Paler-Calmorin, the author of our textbook, does not elaborate on how to do a more quantitative
DISTRACTOR ANALYSIS (an analysis of the effectiveness of distractors). Other sources1, however, suggest the
following steps:
1. Count the students from the UG who selected each of the options.
2. Count the students from the LG who selected each of the options.
3. Calculate the index of effectiveness of each option using the same formula for index of discrimination.
That said, I now direct your attention to Table 8 for the results of my computations.

Future versions of the same exam should also contain REVISED DISTRACTORS (Options 3B, 7B, 11A, 12CD,
15C, 18D, 19D, 21B, 22B, 23B, 26C, 28C, and 32BD) designed to attract more students from the lower group
(compared to the upper group). I suggest a simple modification of the current distractors to increase confusion. [e.g.,
For Item 3B: Instead of “An-P”, we eliminate the use of “P” altogether because this is actually what we’re searching
for, and revise the distractor thus, “b. An(1-rt)”.] Something to make it a little more appealing as an answer than it
currently is without employing drastic measures. If the IE of the distractors sought to be revised aren’t too huge
(perhaps those less than 0.1?), it can still be the teacher’s call whether to keep some of them as is, depending on how
well they suit the items. Sometimes students just guess answers rather than really deliberating on the questions. This
could result in artificial findings that might make any changes done because of them wholly unnecessary in retrospect.
NEW OPTIONS should also be constructed to replace the ones discarded (Options 2C, 3C, 4D, 8BD). I suggest
that the exam developer create more distractors that simply reflect common errors in computation and the usual
misunderstandings/confusions in concepts. The following are just a few suggestions:

Options 1A and 14A, although both having an IE of 0 because an equal number of students from both groups chose
them, should only be re-examined but NOT discarded. They are what Dr. Paler-Calmorin may consider “FAIR”
Distractors. And since the count is MANY (they were chosen by 25 and 13 students from both groups, respectively),
they only require re-examination for possible retention or improvement. In the case of Item 1A, I believe retention is
warranted. An “all of the above” option seems to be a standard inclusion in test items such as these. No further
improvement ought to be required. As for Item 14A, the option was included simply by virtue of its nearness to the
actual answer. The fact that an equal number of students from both groups chose it should not detract from its
effectiveness as a distractor. I’d rather retain the option as it is.
***
The things we learn in class, these strategies that we employ to
make sure that we provide our students with quality basic
instruction, all need to be taken seriously and developed organically
to suit our particular requirements as educators. It would be so easy
to just construct an exam without painstakingly taking into
consideration the learning outcomes of the course…so easy to just
give the same and be done with it without extracting from it the
necessary information that could help improve our teaching
processes or inform our learners appropriately about
themselves….so easy to forego things like Item Analyses or
Distractor Analyses, or providing students with the feedback on
attained objectives so intrinsic to the very essence of any CRM. And
yet we don’t. We don’t, because that would be to the detriment of
those young minds entrusted to our care. We don’t this time, and
pray that we always have the strength to never do so. 41
!"##$##%$&'!()!*$+,&-&.!/01230*40! MACLANG, Sandra May Ong
After completing the first two episodes, I realized that so much of that which we take for granted to be ideal
in theory has to face application challenges in actual teaching situations. In the public school setting in
particular, when one is faced with learners who can barely comply with the simple requirement of coming to
class, much less meeting the teacher’s instructional objectives for each lesson, it becomes tempting indeed to
lower our standards of assessment.
Further temptation to let standards slide arise when given very little time to cover a broad range of topics. In
the words of Mrs. Cabanig herself, “We have [very limited] time and so much ground to cover. As much as I’d like
to use more authentic assessments, we just don’t have enough time!”
I still wonder, though, if that should be accepted as a valid excuse. Surely there are ways to make student
assessment more authentic despite the constraints set upon in every school year. My recommendation of concluding
each unit with a rubrics-scored assessment that requires students to creatively demonstrate their grasp of the course
objectives that simulate real-world applications for the same can still be practicable. Learners rarely know their own
talents and worth until the teacher draws this out of them. Perhaps if Mrs. Cabanig provides them with enough
suggestions for this undertaking, they may even surprise themselves at what they are capable of achieving. If it were
me, I’d even provide them with a list of possible activities they might choose to perform in pursuit of the unit
objectives; activities suited for the different identified types of learner intelligence. True, completion of this form of
assessment may take a while and will most likely eat up a lot of my spare time in the process, but surely the end
result could be well worth the trouble.
One of the reasons I failed to fully appreciate my high school education until much later in life is the fact
that none of my teachers ever attempted to get me to realize just how useful the stuff we were learning are. I
simply went through the motions and studied to pass tests, not even bothering to commit most of what I was
learning into long term memory. The way I saw it, high school was just a means to an end—a means to get me
into a good university where the real learning should start. At the time, I really felt that nothing we learned there
would truly be useful in real life. Obviously, I was mistaken. And I certainly don’t want any of my future
students to feel the same way.
I think that if we encourage our learners to creatively find ways to apply the things they learn in class into
actual situations (incorporating this into our assessment methods), they will be taught to appreciate the
meaningfulness of the subject matter. Furthermore, when students learn by actually ‘doing’, they tend to
commit these lessons to memory more than when they are simply taught to learn theory after theory. What good
is it for students to demonstrate knowledge of the subject via pen and paper tests when we cannot know for sure
whether they are capable of applying the same more meaningfully? Also, creative applications of learnings tend
to awaken dormant intelligences in the learners that they can later build on as they go through life.
So perhaps I may indeed end up sacrificing most of my free time to that endeavor—even end up prolonging
the school year for both myself and my students. But shouldn’t that be a small price to pay for a more
meaningful education? I still believe that. I only hope to be able to prove that this is possible if given the chance
to join the ranks of our esteemed public school educators. (fingers crossed)
As for Episode 3, my greatest take-away from that activity is the fact that when push comes to shove, the
entire process can be done quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality. A valid CRM can be constructed
in two days (even overnight by a more seasoned teacher who actually teaches the subject), and a detailed Item
Analysis of the same CAN be done overnight for the benefit of the students. As such, there can be no excuse for
foregoing any of those processes when assessing students. It just takes a bit of diligence on the part of the
teacher—something that we ought to expect more as a rule, than as the exception.
Hopefully, with a little more training and guidance (as well as a whole lot of Divine Providence in the board
exams), I shall be able to qualify as a teacher and transform these musings into a reality.
