ACTIVITY 1
TRANSFER
Prepare a plan on how you will conduct assessment based on the core principles we learned.
Refer to the K to 12 Curriculum to identify the competencies targeted by instruction and how you
intend to assess your future students following the principles in assessing learning using
alternative methods. Use the matrix provided to write your ideas on how you should design and
conduct assessment of student learning based on the core principles. Provide concise
responses for each item, ensuring that each answer falls within the word count range of 100 to
200 words.

Your Classroom Assessment
Assessment is both process- and product- Design assessments that reflect real-world

instead of traditional quizzes, have students

real-world issue.

students to analyze information, make

example, ask them to evaluate a concept's
applicability in a real-world scenario.

Assessment should lead to student learning. Align assessments with the curriculum to
ensure that they cover the key concepts and
skills students are expected to master. This
alignment helps make assessments
meaningful and relevant to the learning
process.
EVALUATE
Part 1. Evaluate the assessment plan matrix that you have developed by using the
following checklist:
Yes No Item Criteria
1 I understood what each of the principles means.
2 I was able to provide an answer (plan or strategy in assessment)
in each of the principles given.
3 I was able to make a plan or strategy for assessment that
correctly matches and addresses each principle.
4 I was able to answer the matrix by applying what I have learned
about the basic concepts in alternative assessment.
5 I was able to answer the matrix by applying what I have learned
about the principles in assessment of learning using nontraditional
methods.
REFLECT
Provide concise responses for each item, ensuring that each answer falls within the word count
range of 100 to 200 words.
1. Examine the assessment plan you have developed. Are you satisfied with it?
ANSWER: Yes, I am satisfied with it. Since every student is unique, so are their learning
styles and preferences, so flexibility is built into my assessment plan. This flexibility fosters a
more individualized and accommodating approach to assessment by enabling students to
demonstrate their skills and knowledge through a variety of mediums. There are
components in the assessment plan that get students actively involved in their education.
My evaluations are made to pique students' interest and keep it there, whether through
interactive exercises, practical applications, or artistic projects. This makes learning more
pleasurable and significant.
2. Is there something you want to change or improve in the assessment plan? Why?
ANSWER: I want something to improve my assessment plan, it is “Assessment should have
clear objectives”. It is because I might want to improve and make the learning goals for each
assessment more clear. I’ll make sure the students know what the test is for and how it fits
in with the bigger goals of the course. By making things clearer, the test may be better at
helping students learn. It also strengthen the feedback process by making sure that
assessments are graded on time and with enough information. I will encourage students to
think about how they did and give them chances to talk about their thoughts with me or other
students. A culture of continuous improvement can be created by making the feedback and
reflection processes better.
3. Which among the principles did you find easy to illustate in the way you planned your
assessment? Why?
ANSWER:
Assessment Should Have Fairness and Equity:
When making assessments, ensuring that they are fair and equal means making sure the
questions are unbiased and easy for all students, no matter what their background is, to
answer. It could also mean making sure that students with different needs are given the
same chance to show what they know by making accommodations. If you're interested in to
be fair and equal, you need to think about all of the different backgrounds, experiences, and
skills of your students when you plan their tests. When making exam questions, for
example, great care is taken to make sure that the content is culturally neutral and doesn't
hurt any one group. The questions are written so that they don't use language or cultural
references that aren't necessary and could turn off some students.
4. Which among the principles did you find difficult to illustrate in the way you planned your
assessment? Why?
ANSWER:
Assessment needs flexibility:
It can be difficult to build flexibility into assessments when curricular requirements or
expectations for standardized testing are strict. Communication and innovative thinking may
be needed to find a balance between adhering to curriculum requirements and allowing for a
variety of assessment techniques. Incorporate formative evaluations into the entire process
of learning. These less formal, mobile-adaptable tests offer flexibility and insightful
information about students' development without interfering with the schedules of
standardized tests.
5. How did the activity help you understand assessment of learning using alternative methods?
ANSWER: The activity showed how important it is to set clear goals for learning. This clarity
led the evaluation process and made sure that the goals were clear and in line with what
was wanted to happen. Clear goals made it easier for me to evaluate my learning in a
focused and useful way. The assessment methods used were interesting, piqued my
interest, and pushed me to take part. Engaging tests created a good learning environment
that encouraged students to be self-motivated and genuinely interested in the material. In
this principle, the idea that tests can be fun and useful learning experiences was
emphasized. Throughout the activity, there were regular chances to get feedback and think
about what you did. This constant feedback loop helped me understand my progress better.
Regular reflection helped me think critically about how I was learning, find ways to make
things better, and take an active role in my own educational journey.
