Quiz 2: Assessment and Evaluation in Mathematics

According to DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015, assessment is defined as the process used to:

• Keep track of learners' progress in relation to learning standards and in the development of 21st century skills.

• Provide bases for the profiling of student performance on the learning competencies and standards of the curriculum.

• Promote self-reflection and personal accountability among students about their own learning.

• All of the above

According to the passage, the main purpose of assessment is to:

• Determine the level of quality of a performance or outcome

• Elevate future performances and learning outcomes

• Enable decision-making based on the level of quality demonstrated

• Provide feedback on knowledge, skills, attitudes, and work products

1. What is one way to avoid the problem of receiving feedback on a rough draft but not achieving an "A" on the final paper?

• Request feedback based on set criteria

• Make all the suggested improvements on the paper

• Turn in the final product without any changes

• Seek guidance from the instructor

What can help alleviate the discomfort of giving critical feedback to an assessee?

• Imagining what feedback the assessor would have wanted as a performer.

• Avoiding critical feedback altogether to prevent any negative impact.

• Building trust with the assessee before providing any feedback.

• Seeking guidance from a more experienced assessor.

1. What is one of the functions of educational evaluation?

• Assessing the needs of the learners

• Reporting pupil's progress to parents

• Preparing programmed materials

• Assisting in school research

According to the passage, what is an important principle of assessment in learning?

• Assessment serves as a means to enhance student learning.

• Assessment should have a clear purpose.

• Assessment is both process- and product-oriented.

• Assessment must be comprehensive and holistic.

1. What is the goal of the content principle in mathematics assessment?

• To ensure public acceptance of mathematical standards

• To preserve local flexibility in assessment design

• To justify the significance and value of mathematics instruction

• To achieve collaboration between content and measurement experts

1. How can assessments enhance mathematics learning, according to the passage?

• By emphasizing routine knowledge and skill

• By providing opportunities for feedback and revision

• By focusing on quizzes, tests, and examinations

• By separating assessment from instruction

What is the purpose of using the SPUR approach in assessment?

• To measure students' achievement in all four dimensions

• To focus solely on students' manipulative facility with solving linear equations

• To develop curriculum materials for algebraic topics

• To guide further instructional planning based on assessment results

Which of the following principles is NOT listed as a basis for potential assessment items in the dimension of Properties?

• A number can be added to both sides of an equation to yield an equivalent equation

• Both sides of an equation can be multiplied or divided by a nonzero number to yield an equivalent equation

• A solution to an equation must yield the same value for both sides of the equation

• The solution to an equation can be obtained by trial and error
