Philippine Normal University College of education Department Of Field Study and Student Teaching Manila FS 5 ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION OF LEARNING ACTIVITY 3 Directions: Get a copy of a teacher-made test utilized in the class you have observed/or are presently observing. Evaluate this test by answering the questions below:

1. What type of test does it exemplify? It exemplifies an objective type of test as well as achievement test. 2. Is the direction given clear? Why do you say so? I would indeed say that the directions were made very clear for all involved. The directions were provided before and even during certain points in the test, as well as being clearly stated on the test papers. If there were any deviations from test instructions that were seen on the answered test papers, there were only very few and quite insignificant to note down as a sign of undesirable instruction practices. 3. Are the items simple, clear, thus understandable? Cite three examples of this kind of item. Due to the nature of the topics included in the exam, there are certainly several items that would be difficult to express in even more simpler terms, because that might compromise the understanding of the idea being tested. On the other hand, the other test items do appear simple and easy to understand. Below are the three examples of simple, clear and understandable test items included in the test: 1. 2. What type of cellular structure is formed when similar cells are formed together? (Multiple Choice) The organ that stores bile (Matching Type) artificial means of plant propagation. (True or False) 4. Are the items sufficient in number, considering the time allotted for the test? Give reason(s) for your answer. 3. The process of cutting, layering, grafting and budding are

The items are indeed sufficient for the time allotted for taking the test. Perhaps for a few students, sufficiency of test items is not the concern, but rather the amount of time given. Due to the differences in learning styles and capabilities of the students, their ability to answer the questions can truly vary from those other students who tend to pick up faster. 5. Are the items appropriate to the lesson objective? Prove your answer. Although the test items appear to reflect the content of the subject being tested, the way they were constructed, the test items may have been a bit off the mark due to the results that were tabulated. 6. What five important principles have you learned in constructing the type of teacher-made test you are now evaluating? Enumerate these principles below and cite an item in the test that either follow () or negate ( - ) each of the principles. Enter the answer on the table below. Evaluation Principle Item / 1.

REFLECTION
The field study observation that we were asked to do was quite educational. To actually see the various activities, material and techniques that are used helps to truly understand the significant contributions of every detail that is planned in every lesson, most especially with the evaluation process that are used. The evaluation tools and practices made and done helped in the better understanding of what assessment and evaluation meant and the function they played in the overall process of education. The process of producing the examination ourselves, was quite tedious work. I was quite surprised at just how much effort one set of exams needed. The selection of content as well as appropriateness of test questions and choices were quite

overwhelming. The statistical treatments were quite tasking and confusing at certain times as well. Overall, this field study has helped me develop a whole new appreciation for assessment and evaluation processes as well as for the teachers themselves.
