Assessment Methods in Education

This is an on-going process to provide learners with immediate feedback on how well they are learning.

• Authentic assessment

• Formative assessment

• Inclusive assessment

• Summative assessment

How does the use of improvised materials and instrumentation facilitate holistic assessment?

• Instruments and improvised materials cater to a variety of learning styles, making the assessment process more inclusive.

• The conduct of experimentation using everyday materials to demonstrate the students' understanding of scientific principles.

• Teachers can assess not only the final product but also the process, collaboration, problem solving and creativity during the assessment.

• Instruments and improvised materials can be particularly valuable for inclusive education, where students with diverse abilities can participate more fully in assessments.

Which of the following is TRUE about summative assessment?

• Results of this assessment are documented but not included in computing grades.

• This is used to measure whether learners have met the content and performance standards.

• This is an on-going process to provide learners with immediate feedback on how well they are learning.

• All of the above

In a science class, the conduct of experimentation using everyday materials to demonstrate the students' understanding of scientific principles. Based on the situation, how is improvisation applied in the assessment?

• Authentic assessment

• Performance-based assessment

• Used for engagement and motivation

• Used for feedback and reflection

What do you mean by providing immediate feedback?

• Clearly define the learning objectives you want to assess.

• After the assessment, offer timely and constructive feedback to students.

• Assess the level of creativity, problem solving and application of knowledge.

• Encourage students to reflect on their performance and self-assess using the instruments or materials.

This method can provide a more realistic of students' skills and abilities.

• Authentic assessment

• Formative assessment

• Holistic assessment

• Summative assessment

Which of the following shows inclusive assessment?

• When students with diverse abilities can participate more fully in assessments.

• When students reflect on their work and receive feedback from teachers and peers.

• When students feel a greater sense of ownership and creativity when working on such assessments.

• All of the above

What is the primary benefit of using improvisation in science assessments?

• It provides standardized results.

• It encourages creativity and critical thinking.

• It eliminates the need for instruments.

• It focuses only on theoretical knowledge.

Which of the following scenarios best exemplifies effective improvisation in a science classroom?

• Students are given a strict protocol to follow during an experiment.

• A teacher encourages students to create their own experiments using materials they find around the classroom.

• Students take a multiple-choice test on scientific concepts.

• A laboratory session follows a well-established scientific procedure without deviations.

What type of science assessment might include the use of improvised materials, such as household items, to demonstrate scientific principles?

• Authentic assessment

• Holistic assessment

• Performance-based assessment

• Summative assessment
