A. Given the following school situation, how would you apply the 21st
Century Assessment Characteristics? Use the template provided.

SCENARIO
Before the school year starts, Mr. Cruz, the principal, called the teachers
to a meeting and discussed the plans for the coming school year. One of the
agenda of the meeting is the improvement of the tools and methods that the
teachers utilized to assess students’ learning. As per record, the school utilizes
traditional assessment practices. He challenged the teachers to present an
updated assessment instrument/tool that is aligned with the required skills of
the 21st century.
Note: For Step 1, you may use the assessment tools and instruments based
on your observation/field study. For Step 2, you need to do some extra work
or research about 21st century assessment.

After filling up the inventory of assessment instruments/tools used, analyze each
and classify accordingly as to which characteristics of 21st century assessment are
exemplified by the assessment activities and the assessment tools/instruments
utilized. Use the template provided below.

The current assessment practices of the school is aligned with the 21 st century

B. Situation Analysis
In relating to what were discussed about instructional decision in
assessment, given the following situations, what necessary actions must be done?
Come up with a sound solution/decision/set of actions. Discuss your answers with
your classmates. Use the template provided.

Situation 1.
Preparation of detailed lesson plan for the next grading period.
Assessment Action: Diagnostic Assessment to create a new set of ideas that
students can understand

Situation 2.
Learning targets for the next topic that will be taught.
Assessment Action: Formative assessment to know if the students achieve the
learning or the topic discussed give an activity to the students and you will know
if the students are understand the topic

Situation 3.
Readiness of the class to proceed to the next lesson or activity.
Assessment Action: Use diagnostic assessment to determine the students
learning and to improve if there is difficulties in students way of learning to
proceed a new lesson

Situation 4.
Preparing for a parent-teacher conference wherein students’ strengths and weaknesses
are expected by the parents.
Assessment Action: diagnostic assessment and summative assessment to explain
the cause of students achievement to show that you are fair and transparent to
your student

Situation 5.
A grade-level competition that requires representative from each class.
Assessment Action: Selection Assessment they undergo the process of strict
selection passed a teachers assessment qualifications and possess skills and
knowledge that fits in the competition
C. Given the following situations, identify what student learning outcomes
must be set as well as the assessment that will be done to ensure that the
student learning outcomes will be met. Discuss your answers together with
your classmates.

Situation 1.
Teacher Jan aims that her student in Mathematics will have mastery of the four
fundamental operations.

Answer:
 Identify the four fundamental operations

Situation 2.
Teacher Ted, handling Science class, wants his students to have mastery of their lesson
about conversion of units of measure before he advances to the next lessons. He does
not simply aim for concepts but he wants to have his students acquire the skill in
converting unit of measures.

Answer:
 The students will perform how to convert unit of measures

B. Note: The objective of this activity is for you to be able to put into practice what
were discussed in this chapter about student learning outcomes, which is
necessary component in an outcome-based assessment.

Directions:
1. Choose any subject or course that you are interested in. List all the topics
from the subject that you have already covered in your class. Choose only
two topics from your list.
2. For each of the topic, write three (3) student learning outcomes.
3. Finalize your output for this activity using the templates provided. Use the
template below to organize your thoughts.

Instructional Decision in Assessment

Below are sample cases encountered in school setting. Identify the best
assessment that could be used as input in order to come up with a sound decision.
Include the type of decision wherein the results of assessment will be used. Justify
your proposed assessment. Write your answer on
the space provided.
 Case 1:
Based on the previous school year’s data, particularly the new enrollees, there
were students (since they have different backgrounds) who cannot cope well in the
general basic subjects particularly English and Mathematics. In preparation for the
coming school year, the administration mandated the Academic team to improve the
situation and plan a program that will help the students improve their skills in those
subjects.

Assessment: Placement and Diagnostic Test _

Type of decision wherein this assessment will be used: Diagnostic and placement

Justification:
To identify the strength and weakness of the students make a reading comprehension and
remediation to make the students improve their skill in those subjects

Case 2:
The school received an invitation to join an international competition in the
field of Mathematics. In the invitation, the organizer asked for five representatives
from the school a week after the letter of invitation was received, since there will be an
orientation and coaching schedules. The VP for Academic Affairs endorsed the said
invitation to the Subject Area Coordinator (SAC). What should be the next step(s) to be
undertaken by the SAC?

Assessment: Selection assessment _

Type of decision wherein this assessment will be used: selection

Justification:
The SAC will do a quiz bee game in the students and select the students that who got a higher
score
