Understanding the Lesson

Assessment Scenarios
I. For each of the following situations, determine whether the assessment is valid. Explain the
answer in two or three sentences citing the type of validity.
Scenario 1. Test constructor in elementary school designed a new measurement procedure to
measure intellectual ability. Compared to a well-established measure of intellectual ability the
new test is shorter to reduce the arduous effect of a long test on students. To determine its
effectiveness, a sample of students accomplished two sets- a standardized intelligence test and
the new test with only a few days interval. Results from both assessments revealed high
correlation.
The assessment is valid. The type of validity is criterion because the result of the
standardized test and the new test has a high correlation. And it seems reliable because the test
has only few days interval.
Scenario 2. After the review sessions, a simulated examination was given to graduating students,
a few months before the Licensure Examination for Teacher (LET). When the results of the LET
came out the review coordinator found out that the result in the simulated (mock up) examination
are not significantly coordinated with the LET scores.
The simulated examination is not valid. Because the result of the simulated exam is not
coordinated to the result of the LET. The mock up exam will be less reliable and has less validity
because it did not reach its aim which is to get ready and be familiarize to the LET.
II. Determine the sources of reliability evidence and type of reliability coefficient. Explain your
answer in two to three statements.
1. Below is a table containing ratings of two teachers on the paper submitted by six Grade 9
students about their personal mission in life. In rating the student’s papers, a rubric was
developed.
Student Rater A Rater B Rank A Rank B
A 14 8 5 6
B 15 12 4 4
C 18 15 2 2
D 20 16 1 1
E 12 10 6 5
F 17 14 3 3
 Mean= 16 Mean= 12.5 Rx= 0.94
SD= 2.9 SD= 3.1

The sources of reliability evidence of this is Scorer or rater that implies the various
individuals who score a similar test concur like what two instructors in this circumstance they
rate their understudy about their personal mission in life. The reliability coefficient utilized in
this circumstance was inter rater reliability in light of scoring rules are clear.

2. For a sample of 150 grade 10 students, a science test on living things and their environment
was tested for reliability by comparing the scores obtained on the odd-numbered and even
numbered items.
The sources reliability evidence of this is internal consistency reliability that measure
dependent on relating two scores that determined on half of a test. It utilized split half reliability
strategy, which is the scores gotten on the odd numbered and even numbered items.

Learning Assessments
I. Scenario Based/ problem solving learning
As the department head or principal, what action would you take on the following matter.
Provide your recommendations based on the principles of validity and reliability.
1. Mr. Lodi taught the different elements and principles of art. After instruction, he
administered a test about prominent painters and sculptors in the 20 th century. Would you
recommend revisions? Why?
2. In a geometry class, the learners have to calculate perimeters and areas of plane figures like
triangles, quadrilaterals and circles. The teacher decided to use alternative assessment rather that
tests. Students came up with Mathematics portfolios containing their writings about geometry.
What would you tell the teacher? Why?
II. Critiquing

Questions.
1. Is the number of test items in the TOS proportionate to the number of hours spent for each
objective? Why or why not?
2. If you have to be true to the ToS, which objective should you have the most and the least
number of items?
3. Do the specified assessment methods match the learning objective?
4. Below are the sample test items. Determine if each is a valid test item in accordance with the
objectives (level of learning and domain) give your comments.
