Lesson 3: Examples of Assessment for Learning
Learning Outcomes:
Upon the completion of this lesson, you should be able to:

1. enumerate examples of assessment for learning methods; and
2. construct sample assessment tasks.
Introduction:
Ready to begin a new lesson? Good! Anyway, Lesson 3 enhances your understanding of
how active assessment in the classroom develop students’ content understanding and
promote lifelong learning skills. You shall further explore the rationale behind the use of
certain assessment for learning instruments.
Activity 1.
Background Knowledge Probe
Formative assessment may be integrated in all parts of the lesson. Describe the
implication of conducting assessment for learning to teachers and learners in each phase
of instructional delivery.
Analysis
Reflect on the following processing questions.
1. What is assessed in the classroom?
2. How often should a teacher conduct formative assessment?
3. Is a diagnostic test a tool for assessment of learning or assessment for learning?
Elaborate.
4. How can we use the data we gathered if formative assessment is given before
the lesson? During the lesson? After the lesson?
5. Is it possible to use the quarterly examination results in assessment for
learning? If yes, explain how.
Abstraction
The aim of assessment in the classroom is to help students perform well in

relation to the learning standards – content standards, performance standards and
learning competencies (DepEd, 2015). Content standards refer to the essential
knowledge and understanding that every student should learn. Performance
standards describe the expected abilities and skills that learners must
demonstrate. Learning competencies refer to the knowledge, skills and attitudes
that students need to display in every learning episode. Learners are assessed in
the classroom through various processes and measures appropriate to and
congruent with learning competencies defined in the curriculum guide.
Assessment for learning or formative assessment may be conducted in the
different parts of the lesson – before the lesson, during the lesson, and after the
lesson. The purposes of formative assessment in each phase and some sample
assessment methods are enumerated in the table below (DepEd, 2015).
Giving of feedback is imperative after conducting the formative assessment.
These activities should not be treated as mere strategies to kill the time. Specific
and informative feedbacks increase the chance of students to attain the target
competencies and aid them in being accountable of their own learning. These also
prepares them for the summative assessment. Formative assessments make a
teacher be aware of the patterns of learning of the students. However, using them
for grading purposes is highly discouraged.
Application
Activity 2
Identify the possible instructional decision the teacher may have to make in each
of the testing event.
Testing Event Instructional Deci
1. A vocabulary test is given prior
the reading of an epic
2. An oral recitation was conducted
after reading a president’s
autobiography
3. Pupils recorded their quiz
scores using a bar graph
4. A pretest on fractions was given
before discussing rational
expressions
5. Pupils were asked to solve
division problems on the board
6. Pupils were asked the muddiest
point in the day’s lesson through
an exit slip
Activity 3.
Describe an assessment for learning method appropriate to each learning competency.
1. Classify rocks into igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic.
a. Before the lesson:

b. During the lesson:
c. After the lesson:
2. Explain how the products of weathering are carried away by

erosion and deposited elsewhere.
a. Before the lesson:

b. During the lesson:
c. After the lesson:
Closure
Congratulations for completing Lesson 3! Assessment’s primary intent is to
ensure that learning occurs in the classroom, thus teachers are expected to give
assessment in all the three phase of instruction – before the lesson, during the
lesson, and after the lesson. In the next lesson, you shall explore how to ensure
that the feedback is valid, reliable and acceptable.
