Module 4. Lesson 2

This document outlines Lesson 2 on formative assessments. The learner is asked to [1] observe formative assessments used by teachers, [2] analyze three formative assessments they created in terms of cognitive levels and learning competencies, and [3] reflect on how the assessments support standards and learning theories. Formative assessments should be holistic, serve the functions of assessing learning, and provide feedback to improve skills. By linking theory to practice, the learner validates good assessment techniques for their future teaching.

LESSON 2: OBSERVATIONS ON THE USE OF FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS

INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES


Please be mindful of the following intended learning outcomes at the end of this lesson:

✔The learner determines the formative assessments used by the classroom teacher in assessing
students’ learning in his/her observations of the actual teaching-learning episodes.

✔The learner critically analyzes the formative assessments used by the teacher in terms of how these
are used to make assessment holistic.

✔The learner evaluates the formative assessments used against the learning competencies through
the constructive alignment lens.

✔The learner reflects on his or her learning experiences in terms of how the assessment of learning
theories he or she previously learned are applied in the actual teaching and learning episodes
observed.

✔The learner applies his thoughts and reflections by showing how he or she can improve on the
observed practice.

INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Lesson 2 of Module 4!  In this lesson, you are to do a lot of noticing of the processes
and procedures carried out by the teacher in assessing students’ learning through the use of the appropriate
formative assessments based on the intended learning outcomes.  In each step of the process, you are asked
to completely accomplish the accompanying templates.  These templates will guide you in putting your
thoughts and observations in the right perspective.  Good luck!
ACTIVITY
From the last three years as education students, you were taught and tasked to make formative
assessments based on your specialization. Pick three (3) formative assessments and post it here.

From your experiences, please share your thoughts on how you created your formative assessments. 
Reflect your insights in the following template:
Analysis Template

What type of formative assessment was presented?


What levels of thinking in the cognitive domain
were assessed by these assessments? Please
complete this data set in the second column: 
LEARNING COMPETENCY, REVISED
BLOOM’S TAXONOMY (RBT) LEVEL,
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT

In what way/s are these formative assessments


appropriate in assessing the intended learning
competencies?

In what way/s do they contribute to the development


of the learning competencies?

In what ways do the formative assessments


contribute to the attainment of the content and
performance standards?

What theories in assessing learning support this


assessment  practice?

ABSTRACTION
You previously learned that for assessments to be effective, they must be holistic.  They must serve
the three (3) functions:  assessing for learning, assessing as learning, and assessing of learning.  Formative
assessments are assessments for learning and as learning.  They are used to prepare students for the
summative assessment (assessment of learning).  
The crucial element of formative assessments is feedback.  It will inform instruction, and it will also
allow learners to reflect on what they still need to do to improve their skills.  
The diagrams below are the concrete representations of the functions of assessment as assessment for
and as learning.  It also shows the importance of feedback.
Your experiences and the templates that you accomplished guided your thoughts in linking these
learned theories, principles, and concepts to their actual classroom applications.  It is hoped that you were
able to validate good practices from these observations and reflect on a solid stance for your actual practice
in the future relative to designing formative assessments.

CLOSURE
You have accomplished Lesson 2! Congratulations for a job well done!  Brace yourself for the
Lesson 3 on Observations on Summative Assessment.  This is the last lesson for this module.
