c) Ms. Ventura who gave 10-item test to find out the specific lessons which the students failed to unde

d) Mrs. Lopez who administered a readiness test to the incoming grade one pupils

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: Ms. Ventura, who gave a 10-item test to identify specific lessons the students did not understand, performed a diagnostic assessment to detect learning gaps and inform further instruction. The other options are examples of formative and placement assessments. Therefore, diagnostic assessment is the correct answer.

2) Teacher Lily would like to take part in developing a subject-centered curriculum because she believes that all subjects in this type of curriculum are geared towards the hollistic development of the learner. Is her belief about the subject-centered curriculum true?

a) Yes, because the subject-centered curriculum focuses on the learners needs, interests and abilities.

b) No, because it is the experience-centered curriculum that emphasizes the teaching of facts and knowl

c) Yes, because the subject-centered curriculum involves cooperative control.

d) No, because it is the experience centered and not the subject-centered curriculum that emphasizes in

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: Teacher Lily's belief is incorrect because the holistic development of the learner is a characteristic more closely associated with an experience-centered curriculum rather than a subject-centered curriculum. An experience-centered curriculum integrates various skills and habits necessary for holistic growth, whereas a subject-centered curriculum primarily focuses on factual teaching and knowledge for future use.

3) Teacher Dominguito believes that a new respect for the child is fundamental in curriculum. Thus, all activities in the classroom are geared towards the development of the child - the center of the educative process. To which approach in curriculum does Teacher Dominguito adhere?

a) Learner-centered

b) Subject-centered

c) Problem-centered

d) Pragmatic

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: Teacher Dominguito's approach indicates a learner-centered curriculum, where the focus is on the child's needs, interests, and overall development. This approach fosters individualized learning and respects students' unique learning processes. Subject-centered curriculum prioritizes subject matter, problem-centered addresses real-world problems, and pragmatic focuses on practical outcomes. Thus, the learner-centered approach is the correct answer.


4) Why should learning be aided by formulating and asking questions?

a) Students will have a grade in recitation

b) Students will develop their self-confidence

c) The teacher will know who among the students can communicate very well

d) The teacher will not always do the talking but the students will be given a chance to do the same th

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Formulating and asking questions during learning encourages student engagement and participation, which can significantly boost their confidence. It allows them to vocalize their thoughts and ideas, thereby becoming more comfortable in expressing themselves. While other options provide certain benefits like participation grades and identifying communicative students, developing self-confidence is a key benefit of this practice, making the answer correct.

5) Mr. Bernardo, a curriculum consultant on Economics insists that in selecting the curriculum content, it is better that throughout the high school years, economic geography concepts be used to recur and be repeated with depth for effective learning. What criterion in content selection is shown here?

a) Validity

b) Continuity

c) Significance

d) Learnability

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: Continuity as a criterion in content selection suggests that key concepts should recur and progressively deepen over time. This repetition and deepening help reinforce learning and ensure thorough understanding. Validity addresses the accuracy and relevance of content, significance refers to the importance and relevance of the material to students, and learnability concerns the content's complexity and students' ability to grasp it. Continuity is the most fitting term in this instance, making it the correct answer.

6) ____location tells where something is by comparing it to another thing. We use words like above, next to and below.

a) complete

b) relative

c) exact

d) absolute

ANSWER: B
RATIONALE: The correct answer is (b) relative. Relative location describes a place's location in relation to other locations, using directional terms like above, below, and next to.

7) Which kind of rubric is best to use in rating students' projects done for several days?

a) Analytic

b) Holistic

c) Either holistic or analytic

d) Both holistic and analytic

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: The correct answer is a] Analytic. Analytic rubrics break down the assessment into specific criteria, providing detailed feedback on various aspects of a project over several days. Holistic rubrics (b) give an overall score without detailed feedback, which is less useful for long-term projects.


8) Which of the following statements is NOT acceptable?

a) Instruction is the actual engagement of learners in the planned learning activities.

b) Curriculum determines what assessment should be done, and how to do it.

c) Instruction requires teachers to use a variety of action to accomplish a variety of functions.

d) Assessment establishes what is to be accomplished in teaching and learning.

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: The statement that assessment establishes what is to be accomplished in teaching and learning is not acceptable because curriculum, rather than assessment, sets the goals and standards for what is to be achieved in the educational process. Curriculum guides the development of assessment and instruction. Therefore, the statement regarding assessment is the correct answer.

9) To maximize the amount of time spent for performance-based assessment, which one should be done?

a) Plan a task that can be used for instruction and assessment at the same time.

b) Assess one objective for one performance task.

c) Set objectives only for cognitive domains.

d) Limit the task to one meeting only.

ANSWER: A
RATIONALE: Planning a task that serves both instructional and assessment purposes (a) maximizes the use of time and resources, promoting learning while simultaneously evaluating it. Limiting the task to one meeting (d) and assessing only cognitive domains (c) can restrict the depth and breadth of assessment, while focusing on one objective per task (b) may not efficiently utilize assessment opportunities.

10) The students of Mrs. Valino are very noisy. To keep them busy, they were given any test available in the classroom and then the results were graded as a way to punish them. Which statement best explains if the practice is acceptable or not?

a) The practice is acceptable because the students behaved well when they were given a test.

b) The practice is not acceptable because it violates the principle of reliability.

c) The practice is not acceptable because it violates the principle of validity.

d) The practice is acceptable since the test results are graded.

ANSWER: C
RATIONALE: This practice violates the principle of validity (c) because the test was used to manage behavior, not to measure what the students have learned. Reliability (b) and grading as punishment (d) are not as pertinent in this scenario, and behavioral improvement (a) does not justify the misuse of the test.

11) You are assessing for learning. Which of these will you likely do?

a) Giving grades to students

b) Reporting to parents the performance of their child.

c) Recommending new policies in grading students.

d) Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of students.

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: Assessing the strengths and weaknesses of students focuses on improving learning and informing instructional adjustments, aligning with "assessment for learning." This approach contrasts with giving grades, reporting to parents, or recommending policy changes, which align more with assessment of learning. Therefore, the correct answer is assessing strengths and weaknesses.

12) Bernard obtained a 97 percentile rank in an aptitude test. This means

a) He answered 97% of the items correctly.

b) He belongs to the 97% of the group who took the test.

c) 79% of the examinees did better than her on the test.

d) He surpassed 97% of those who took the test.

ANSWER: D
RATIONALE: The correct answer is d] He surpassed 97% of those who took the test. A percentile rank of 97 means that Bernard scored higher than 97% of the examinees. The other options misunderstand the meaning of percentile rank.
