5 TABLEOF SPECIFICATIONS (TOS) CONTENT VALIDITY and OUTCOMES-BASED EDUCATION (OBE) My Learning Episode Overview One moral sin that teachers commit is giving tests that lack content validity. This means that a number of teachers give tests which are not aligned to their leaning outcomes or objectives. This is contrary to outcomes-based education. The use of a Table of Specification (TOS) can help address the problem of tests lacking in content validity. My Intended Learning Outcomes At the end of this Episode, you must be able to:  

Construct a Table of Specifications Apply OBE by formulating test items with content validity

My Performance Criteria I will be rated along the following: a. b. c. d. e.

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

My Learning Essentials

A Table of Specifications (TOS) is a table that specifies the learning outcomes/lesson objectives, the amount of time spent for each outcome / objective which will serve as basis in determining the corresponding number of test items. TOS helps teacher align objectives, instruction, and assessment. It is sometimes called a test blueprint. This strategy can be used for a variety of assessment methods but is most commonly associated with constructing traditional summative tests. Aligning assessment tools and tasks to learning outcomes is a must in Outcomes-Based Teaching-Learning. A test or any assessment tool or task for that matter possesses content validity only when that assessment tool or task measures or assesses what is supposed to measure or assess. You are supposed to assess students’ ability to draw conclusions based on given facts but your assessment tool and task make the students define a conclusion. It is one thing to draw conclusion. It is another thing to define it. The assessment task is not aligned to the learning outcome, therefore, it does not possess content validity. The assessment task that has content validity is to ask the students to draw conclusion from the facts the teacher gives. Defining a conclusion is in the level of comprehension, perhaps even recall if definition is simply memorized, while drawing conclusion from a set of given facts is in the level of creating, synthesizing.

My Map

1. Read My Learning Essentials. 2. Ask my Resource Teacher for a copy of her TOS 3. Surf the internet for more samples. 4. Study these samples of TOS. 5. Answer the LET-like test items. 6. Come up with my portfolio.

2. Comparison of given TOS with other TOS that I reached on. I will compare the given TOS with other TOS that I researched on. My Analysis 1. For a TOS to ensure test content validity, what parts must it have?

2. Among the TOSs that you researched on, which is a better TOS? Why?

3. Can a teacher have a test with content validity even without making a TOS?

4. Explain why the use of a TOS enhances that content validity?

My Reflections Read this conversation and reflect on teachers’ assessment practices. Write your reflection here. But we only talked about Puerto Princesa for – like 2 seconds last week. Why would she put that on the exam?” “You know how teachers are… they’re always trying to trick you.” “Yes, they find the most nit-picky little details to put on their Test and don’t even care if the information is important.” “It’s just not fair. I studied everything we discussed in class about the Philippines and the things she made a big deal about, like comparing the Philippines And to think all she asked was ‘What’s the capital of Singapore? Really? Grrr,” (Adapted from Practical Assessment, Research and Evaluation, Vol. 18 No. 3, February 2013)

Did you have a similar experience? Reflect on it.

Integrating Theory and Practice 1. Here is lesson objective / intended learning outcome: “illustrate the law of supply and demand with your original concrete example”. For content validity, which test item is aligned? A. Define the law of supply and demand and illustrate it with an example. B. Illustrate the law of supply and demand with a drawing. C. Illustrate the law of supply and demand with a concrete, original example. D. Explain the law of supply and demand and illustrate it with a diagram. 2. Teacher Joji wrote this learning outcome: “To interpret a given quotation.” For content validity which should she ask? A. Interpret Nietsche’s statement: “He who has a why to live for can bear with any how.” B. Did you believe in Nietsche’s statement “He who has a why to live for can with almost any how”? C. What is true in Nietsche’s statement “He who has a why tp live for can bear with almost any how”? D. Nitsche was an atheist. Do you believe that he can give this statement “HE who has a why to live for can bear with almost any how”? 3. After teaching them the process of experimenting, Teacher Joe wanted his students to be able to set up an experiment to find an answer to a scientific problem. Which will he ask his students to do? A. Set up and experiment to find out if aerial plants can also live on land. B. Can aerial plants also live on land? Research on experiments already conducted. Present your finding in class. C. Observe if aerial plants can survive when planted in soil. Note your observations and present them in class. D. Research on the answers to this scientific problem: Can aerial plants survive when transferred I soil?

4. Here is an intended learning outcome of a Health teacher: “Identify skill-related fitness and activities suitable for the individual”. Does her test item measure this particular outcoe and therefore has content validity? Question 1. Identify the components of Physical Fitness under the skill-related activities. A. Body Composition

C. Flexibility

B. Agility

D. Organic Vigor

A. Yes, very much. B. Yes because it asks something about skill-related activities. C. No. D. No, the options have nothing to do with skill-related activities. 5. In Teacher Lea’s Table of Specifications (TOS), 60 percent of the 1st grading test items are applying questions based on Bloom’s taxonomy. A review of her test shows that 50% are remembering items, 20% are analysing questions and 30% are applying questions. Does Teacher’s test consist with her TOS? A. No. B. No, her analysing questions is supposed to be 60% C. Yes. D. Yes, her applying questions are also analysing questions, too.

My Learning Portfolio Give an example of TOS that reflects of learning either by Bloom or by Kendall and Marzano. Which TOS is better? Why?

6 ON PORTFOLIOS My Learning Episode Overview A portfolio of student’s work is a direct evidence of learning. But it is a mere collection of student’s work or output. Therefore, a student’s reflection must accompany each output or work. The student’s work is either a product or a performance. My Intended Learning Outcome After this Episode, I should able describe the various types of learner’s portfolios and their functions. My Performance Criteria I will be rated along the following: a. b. c. d. e.

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

My Learning Essentials A learning portfolio is a purposeful collection of students work that exhibits a student’s effort, progress, achievements and competencies gained in a given area of course. There are 3 types of portfolio, namely: 1) growth / developing portfolio, 2) showcase/base work/ display portfolio and 3) assessment/ evaluation portfolio. Display / showcase / best work portfolio is to demonstrate the highest level of achievement attained by the student. The main purpose of an assessment / evaluation portfolio is to document student learning on specific curriculum outcomes.

Growth / Process / Development Portfolio Purposes To show growth or change over time

To identify strengths / weaknesses

Some Possible Inclusions Early and later pieces of work Early and later test scores Rough drafts and final drafts Reflections on progress toward goals Reflections on strengths and weaknesses Reflections on progress toward goals

Showcase / Best Work Portfolio Purposes To showcase end-of-year / term accomplishments

To showcase student’s perceptions of favorite best work or most important

Some Possible Inclusions Samples of best work Final tests otr scores Awards or other recognition Teacher or peer comments Samples of student’s favorite best work Reflection on why it is favorite, best or most important.

Evaluation /Assessment Portfolio Purposes To document achievement for grading

To document progress towards standards

7 ON SCORING RUBRICS My Learning Episode Overview How do you score a product or a performance as evidence of learning? You will learn it form this Episode. My Intended Learning Outcome At the end of this Episode, I must be able to examine different types of rubrics used by my Resource Teachers and relate them to assessment of students learning. My Performance Criteria I will be rated along the following: a. b. c. d. e.

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

My Learning Essentials A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for stuent’s work that includes descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria.

The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performances and products. For some performances, you observe the student in the process of doing like dribbling the ball. For others, you observe the product which results from the students work.

There are two types of rubrics- analytic and holistic. Analytic rubrics describe work on each criterion separately while a holistic rubric assesses a student work as a whole.

My Learning Essentials  

Analytic rubrics identify and assess components of a finished product. Holistic rubrics assess student work as a whole.

Below are examples of a holistic and an analytic rubric. Fiction Writing Content Rubric – Holistic 

   

5 – The plot, setting, and characters are developed fully and organized well. The who, what, where, when, and why are explained using interesting language and sufficient detail. 4 – Most parts of the story mentioned in a score of a 5 above are developed and organized well. A couple of aspects may need to be more fully or more interestingly developed. 3 – Some aspects of the story are developed and organized well, but not as much detail or organization is expressed as in a score of 4. 2 – A few parts of the story are developed somewhat. Organization and language usage need improvement. 1 – Parts of the story are addressed without intention to detail or organization. Fiction-Writing Content Rubric-Analytic 4

3

PLOT: “What” and “Why”

Criteria

Both plot parts are fully developed.

SETTING: “When” and “Where”

Both setting parts are fully developed.

CHARACTERS: “Who” described by behaviour, appearance, personality and character traits

The main characters are fully developed with much descriptive detail. The reader has a vivid image of the characters.

One of the plot part is fully developed and the less developed is at least addressed. One of the setting parts is fully developed and the less developed part is at least addressed. The main characters are developed with some descriptive detail. The reader has a vague idea of the characters.

Both plot part are addressed but not fully developed.

Neither plot is fully developed.

Both setting parts of the story are addressed but not fully developed.

Neither setting parts are developed.

The main characters are identified by name only.

None of the characters are developed or named.

Source: http://www.fctl.ucf.edu Source: hhtp://www4.wccnet.edu/deparmets/curriculum/assessment,php?levelone=rubric

The following are the steps in developing a scoring rubric. 1. Identify the characters of what you are assessing. In most cases, this will be specific stated learning outcomes. 2. Describe the best work you could expect using this characteristics. This describes the top range of your rubric. 3. Describe the worst acceptable product using these characteristics. This describes the lowest acceptable range of your rubric. 4. Describe an unacceptable product. This describes the lowest of your rubric. 5. Develop descriptions of intermediate level products and assign then to intermediate ranges. My Map 1. Read My Learning Essentials. 2. Interview at least 2 Resource Teachers on their use of scoring rubrics in assessing learning. 3. Request my Resource Teachers for a copy (for to photocopy) of the scoring rubrics that he school uses for group projects, student papers, cooperative learning activities. 4. If there are no scoring rubrics are available, I will research on samples of scoring rubrics for student papers, cooperative learning activities, group projects, performances, and the like. 5. I will analyze information gathered from my interview and research. 6. I will reflect on all information gathered.

My Learning Activities Interview Interview of my Resource Teachers I will ask the following questions: 1. Where do you use the scoring rubrics? (student outputs or products and student acticities)

2. What help have scoring rubrics given you? When there were no scoring rubrics yet, what did you use?

3. What difficulties have you met in the use of scoring rubrics?

4. Do you make sure of holistic and analytic rubrics? How do they differ?

5. Which is easier to use-analytic or holistic?

6. Were you involve in the making of the scoring rubrics? How do you make one? Which is easier to construct – analytic or holistic?

Research I will research on more examples of holistic, and analytic rubrics.

My Analysis 1. What benefits have scoring rubrics brought to the teaching-learning process?

2. How are scoring rubrics related to portfolio assessment?

3. To get the most from scoring rubrics, what should be observed in the making and use of scoring rubrics?

My Reflections Can rubrics help make students to become self-directed or independent learners? Do rubrics contribute to assessment AS learning (self-assessment?) What if there were no rubrics in assessment?

Integrating Theory and Practice 1. For diagnostic purposes which type of rubric is more appropriate? A. Analytic rubric

C. Holistic

B. General rubric

D. Developmental rubric

2. Which rubric CANNOT provide specific feedback for improvement? A. Analytic rubric

C. Holistic

B. General rubric

D. Developmental rubric

3. Which advantage does a holistic rubric over that of an analytic rubric? A. Takes less time to create

C. More direct

B. Shorter in content

D. More detailed

4. Because of its nature, which can be of greater help for self-directed learning? A. Analytic rubric

C. Holistic

B. Developmental

D. Combination of holistic and analytic

My Learning Portfolio Go over the K to 12 Curriculum Guide and look for at least one competency that needs to be assessed by the use of rubrics. Make a scoring rubric – one analytic and the other holistic. Remember to focus on assessing the intended outcome.

8 THE K to 12 GRADING SYSTEM My Learning Episode Overview With the implementation of the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum of 2013, more popularly known as K to 12, is a new grading system that is aligned to the new assessment policy of the Department of Education based on DepEd Memo 8, s. 2015 In this Episode, you will be made to observe how this is implemented in schools. My Intended Learning Outcome At the end of this Episode, I will able to:  

compute students’ grade based on DepEd’s grading policy give the descriptor of a numerical grade

My Performance Criteria I will be rated along the following a. b. c. d. e.

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

My Learning essentials In the K to 12 curriculum, a student’s grade is based on his/her written work, performance task and quarterly assessment. The weights of the components (written work, performance task and quarterly assessment) vary among groups of subjects from grade 1 to Grade 10 and from Grade 11 and 12 See Tables below: Weight of the Components for Grades 1-10 Components 1 to 10 Written Work Performance Tasks Quarterly Assessment

Components of Summative Assessment A. Written Work includes “long quizzes and unit or long tests. Other written work may include essays, written reports, and other written output…” It is strongly recommended that items in long quizzes and tests be distributed across the cognitive process dimensions of Anderom and Krathwohl (2001)” – DepEd Order 8, s. 2015. The written Work component “ensures that students are able to express skills and concepts in written form” If you are looking for the application KPUP (knowledge, process, understanding and performance of DepO. 73, s. 2012) This is it. In assessment, teacher sees to it that written tests assess the cognitive processes of remembering, understanding, applying, analysing, evaluating and creating with emphasis on the higher dimensions. B. “The Performance Task components allows learners to show what they know and are able to do in diverse ways. They may create or innovate products or do performance-based tasks.

Performance-based tasks may include skills demonstration, group presentations , and work, multimedia presentations, and work, multimedia presentations and research projects.” (DepEd, Order 8, s. 2015).

Reporting Learner’s Program DepEd Order 8, s. 2015 states: The summary of learner progress is shown quarterly to parents and guardians through parent-teacher conference, in which the report card is discussed. The table below presents the grading scale with its corresponding descriptors and remarks. Grading Scale DESCRIPTOR Outstanding Very Satisfactory Satisfactory Fairly Satisfactory Did Not Meet Expectations

9 REPORTING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE My Learning Episode Overview If we have to work with parents for the education of children, we have to inform them about the children’s progress in school in the same way that we give the students feedback regarding their performance. School vary in their practice of reporting students’ performance.. This is what you will find out on this Episode. My Intended Learning Outcomes At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:  

state the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful

My Performance Criteria I will be rated along the following a. b. c. d. e.

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

My Learning Essentials 1. Reporting students’ performance at least four times a year is a regular practice of schools. A card-getting day is usually set for this purpose. 2. Reporting students’ performance is done usually by means of a Report Card. 3. Reporting students’ progress to parents is a must. This is a way to show parents their children’s progress in relation to the standards. These standards are supposed to have been explained to parents and students at the beginning of the school year.

My Map

1. I will read My Learning Essentials. 2. With my learning partner, I will interview at least two (2) Resource Teachers in different schools on classroom and school practice in giving feedback to students and reporting chilfren’s performance to parents 3. I will observe a Homeroom meeting. 4. I will research on best practices on the reporting of grades. 5. I will analyze and reflect on information gathered. 6. I will come up with my learning portfolio.

My Learning Activities Activity 1 – Interview Interview Questions: 1. How do you give feedback to your students regarding their performance? When do you give feedback?

2. How do you report students’ performance to parents? Does the school have a regular way of reporting grades to parents?

3. What problems on grade reporting did you encounter with parents? How do you address it/ them?

4. Was it east for you to report students’ performance to parents? What were challenges?

Activity 2 – Attendance in Homeroom Meeting If it is possible, attend a Homeroom meeting on Card-Getting Day. Outline the parts of the meeting. Describe how the Resource Teachers communicated learners’ assessment results and grades to parents. 1. What are the parts of Homeroom meeting?

2. How did the Resource Teachers communicate learners’ assessment and grads to parents?

My Analysis 1. In the Homeroom meeting, did the teachers reporting and communicating of grades take place smoothly? Or were there instances when discussions became heated because of the way reporting was handled? Describe your observations.

My Reflections 1. Grades are often a source of misunderstanding. How should I do reporting so that it will result to effective learning?

C. I, II, and III

B. II only

D. III only

3. To make grade reporting meaningful, which must be done? A. Announce names of students who need to help. B. Rank the Report Cards from highest to lowest then distribute the same according to rank. C. Explain how the grades were computed. D. Console parents whose children are non-performing by telling them that nobody fails. 4. What is an essential step in reporting grades to parents? I.
