Principles of Growth and Development

1. Nature aid Nurture
Development is Influenced by both heredltyfnature) and environment
(nurture).
The nature (heredity) is responsible for many of our physical characteristics
such as hair, and eye color, facial features and to some extent the height
and weight
Many of our characteristics can be influenced by environment (nurture).
2. Growth and development is a continuous process.
As a child develops, he or she adds to the skill already acquired and the
new skills become the basis for further achievement and mastery of skills.
Most children follow a similar pattern.
Also, one stage of development lays the foundation for the next stage of
development
3. Development proceeds from the head downward.
This is called the cephalocaudal principle.
This principle describes the directions of growth and development.
According to this principle, the child.gains control of the head first, then the
arms and then the legs.
4. Development proceeds from the center of the body outward. . .
This is the principle of proximodistal development that also describes the*
direction of development.

This means that the spinal cord develops before outer parts of the body.
The child's arms develop before the hands and the hands and feet develop
before the fingers and Joes..
5. Development depends on maturation and learning.
Maturation refers to the sequential characteristics of biological growth and
development.
.
The biological changes occur in sequential order and give children new.
abilities, Changes in the brain and nervous system account largely for
maturation.
6. Development proceeds from the simple (concrete) to the more complex.
Children use their cognitive and language skills to reason and solve prob
lems. For example, learning relationships between things (how things are
similar) or classification, is an Important ability in cognitive development.
7. Growth and development proceed from general to specific.
In motor development, the infant will be able to grasp an object with whole
hand before using only the thumb and forefinger.
The Infant's first motor movements are very generalized, undirected and
reflexive, waving arms or kicking before being airte to reach or creep toward
an object
Growth occurs from large muscle movements to more refined movements
to more refined (smaller) muscle movements.
8. There are indMdual rates of growth and development
Each child Is different and the rates at which individual children grow Is
different. Although the patterns and sequences for growth and development
are usually the same for an children, the ra te at which Individual chHdren
reach developmental stages will be different.

S tages o f Hum an D evelopm ent: These pertain to the number of period in a

man's life cycle. Although the focus of discussion is on individuals of school age, a
brief description of those in other stages of development is ateo given.
1. Prenatal Stage (confceptien-blrth)

The prenatal period In many aspects is considered as one of the most- if not the most
important period ofallfnthe fife span of a person. This person begins at conception and
ends at birth and approximately 270 to 280 days in length or nine calendar months.
Prenatal period is divided into three majorphases.
a. Germinal Stage (fertilfeation to 2 weeks)
This is also known asthe period of the zygote.
Zygote refers to thenewly formed ceB after the union of the egg ceil and the
sperm cell, a process which is also known as fertilization.
(M dMtion begins in a lime no longer than 36 hours after fertilization,
Subsequently, for 3 to 4 days the zygote from the oviduct travels down to
the faHopian tube and then tothe uterus where the Implantation begins.
b. Embryonic Period (2 weeks to 2 months or 8 weeks)
Also known as the period of the embryo
The cell known as zygote before is now known as embryo.
By the 14 day after fertilization, the blastocyst is already implanted in the
uterus.
The umbilical cord attaches the placenta functionally to the mother
The foundations for the eyes, ears, nose, mouth extremities (upper and
lower) and the digestive sy^Bm have been laid on the 8* week
The 1 H inches long embryo, weighing one-tenth to one-fifteenth ofan
ounce, develops at the end of the first month
This period is considered as the most critical period for the reason thathe
embiyo is most vulnerable to damage and defect
During the first trimester (3 months of pregnancy) almost ail birth defects
.
occur and chances are, the defects will be permanent
Dr. Cbnchica O. Manuel and K o f. Sheila Marie B. Ada*
c. Fetal Period (8 weeks to birth)

Also called as the period of the fetus
The embryo before is now known as fetus In this stage
The fetal stage begins with the formation of the first bone cells.
Various organs grow functionally and take the appearance of the human
body.
The fetus can now kick and can manipulate its extremities (upper and tower)
and can open Its mouth, frown, and turn its head, as welt as take a few
'breaths' by the end of the third month.
By the end of the fifth month, the fetus Is one foot long and weighs a pound.
At the end of the sixth month, the fetus'eyelids can be opened; it develops
grasps and more than enough taste buds.
The fetus weighs two pounds and its all organ systems have become func
tional at the end of the seventh month.
During the eighth and ninth month, the fetus becomes round and heavy and
is able to lift its head.
2. Infancy Stage (birth-two weeks of life)

Infancy is the transition period intervening between birth and two weeks of life and
identified as the shortest of ail developmental period.
The word "infant" suggests extreme helplessness.
Subdivisions of Infancy include the a) period of the partunate or from the
time the fetal body has emerged from the mother's body and lasts until the
umbilical cord has been cut and tied; and the b) period of the neonate or
from the cutting and tying of the umbilical cord to the end of the second
week of the postnatal life
. Newboms up to two days are typically unattractive and are extremely feeble
due to regular muscular restraints.
Most often, he is asleep, drowsy, cries, and gets excited easily.
The neonate is sensitive to brightness a Indicated by his papillary response
to'change in illumination, his visual images are likely to be bluiTed because
of failure of the lens to focus on the otyect.
- The roots of languageare crying, cooing and babbling.

3. Babyhood Stage (2* week to second year of life)

Compared to infancy, babyhood stage is characterized by decreasing dependency for
the reason that this is the time when babies achieve enough body control to become
independent.
Developmental tasks Include: learning to walk, learning to take solid foods,
having organs of elimination under partial control, achieving reasonable
psychological stability especially in hunger rhythm and sleep, relating emo
tionally to parents and siblings, and learning the foundations of speech
Babyhood skills fall under two categories: hand skills and leg skills.
Crying, cooing, babbling, gesturing and emotional expressions are exam
ples of prespeech forms of communication.
Common emotional patterns involve anger, fear, curiosity, joy and affection.
Babies are also capable of establishing or forming friendships.
Considered non-moral due to their lack of a scale of values and conscience
and they demonstrate obedience to rules without question
4. Early Childhood Stage (two to six years of life)

Names given to describe the stage are: problem or troublesome age, toy age, preschool
age, pre-gang age, exploratory and the questioning age
Developmental tasks Include: controlof elimination, self-feeding, self-dress
ing and doing some things without much help, development of motor skills
that allow him to explore and do things to satisfy his curiosity and acquisiflon of adequate vocabulary to communicate his thoughts and feelings with
. those around him
Intellectual development as described by Piaget encompass the two sub
periods: (a) the precooceptual period (2-4 years) and includes egocentrism,
- animism and transductive reasoning; and (b) intuitive period (4-6 years)
and includes inattention to transformations, centratlon and Irreversibility.
Early chSdhood is also characterized by heightened emotionality.
The presence of the significant others or the primary group is also given im
portance because they serve as models for the child who usually identifies
. wi9) them and patterns his behaviour after them.
The preschool child should be given as much as physical experience as

possible and play activities to learn by doing and to develop his intellectual
capacity. .
.
This stage is also regarded as the teachable moment for acquiring skills
because children enjoy the repetition essential to learning skills; they are
adventuresome and like to try new things and have already learned skills to
interfere with the acquisition of the new ones.
Because speech development advances rapidly this time, as seen in the

Improvement in comprehension as well as in the different speech skills,
talking to young children w ill leave a strong impact.
The concept of morality emerge as a result of interactions with adults and
peers.
Other common interests include interest in religion, in the human body, in
self, in sex and in clothes.
5. Late Childhood Stage (six to ten or twelve years of life)

Late childhood is the period for learning the basic skills in life.
It coincides with the child's elementary school years, entering Grade 1 atsix
years and graduating at age 12.
Names used to describe the stage are: troublesome age, sloppy age, quar
relsome age, elementary school age, critical period in the achievement
drive, gang age and age of conformity.
Physical growth is at slow and relatively even rate because of the influence
of health, nutrition, immunization, sex and intelligence.
Children in this stage win recognition by being able to do things.
Developmental tasks include: learning physical skills necessary for group
and organized games; teaming to get along with age-mates and members
of his family and community; learning fundamental skills in reading, writing
and numeracy; develop appropriate masculine or feminine social roles; de* velop healthy self-concept and conscience; achieve personal independence
by being able to perform life skills; learn to perform the different roles ex
pected of him and think rationally to adjust to situations; make decisions
and solve problems.
There is a rapid increase in understanding and in the accuracy of concepts
32
iPNU LET Reviewer
during this stage as a result of increased intelligence and partly as arSsult

. of increased teaming opportunities,
. j
. The childs social development is enhanced by his interaction with his peers
in work or in play.
In resolving moral conflicts, it is necessary for the significant others to teach
the child the values of respect for others and set themselves as examples
or models.
Most children develop moral codes influenced by moral standards of the
groups with which they are identified, and a conscience which guides their
behaviour in a place of the external controls needed when they were younger.
It is also necessary for parents and teachers to understand the child's think
ing and to facilitate his intellectual growth and development
Healthy relationships with himself and others could be brought about by the
child's understanding of his emotions and his ability to express his emo
tions, as well.
6. Preadolescence or puberty Stage (ten or twelve or thirteen or fourteen

yean of life)
Derived from the Latin word pubertas which means age of manhood
The word growth spurt refers to the rapid acceleration in height and weight
that marta the beginning of adolescence.
Considered as unique and distinctive period and characterized by certain
developmental changes that occur at no other time in the life span
An overlapping period because it encompasses the closing years of child
hood and the beginning years of adolescence
A relatively short period, lasting from two to four years or less
. Manifested in both internal and external changes in Ihe body with both the
primary and secondarysex characteristics
Primary sex characteristics .include the menarcfie for the girls or the first
menstrual flov/and the nocturnal emissions for the boys.
'
Secondary sex characteristics on the other, hand include the physical fea
tures which distinguish males from females and may be Ihe source of ap
peal among the members of the opposite sex.
P r o fc ss io iia lju liic a tio n
Puberty is the divided into three stages: (a) prepubescent - secondary sex
-characteristics begin their development but their reproductive organs are
not yet fully developed, (b) pubescent - characterized by menarche for girls
and nocturnal emissions in boys, (c) post pubescent - secondary sex
characteristics become wet developed and the sex organs begin to func
tion in a mature manner.
The onset of puberty has an important implication in the personality de
velopment of the Individual.
A critical period for the development of positive attitudes towards one's
body and oneself in general
7. Adolescence Stage (thirteen or fourteen to eighteen years of life)

Adolescence is the age when the Individual becomes integrated into society of adults;
the age when the child no longer feels that he Is below the level of his elders but.equal,
at feast in rights.
Came from the Latin wordaob/escere meaning to grow or to grow to ma
turity
Early adolescence extends roughly from thirteen to sixteen or seventeen
years, and late adolescence covers the period then u n i eighteen, the age
of legal maturity.
The developmental tasks of adolescence are focused on the developing
independence in preparation for adulthood and in establishing a sense of
identity.
Adolescence is a period of heightened emotionality, a time of "storm and
stress.
The important social changes in adolescence include increased peer-group
.influence, more mature patterns of social behaviour, new social groupings
and new values in the selection of friends and leaders and social accep
tance.
Relationships between adolescents and members of their families tend to
deteriorate in early adolescence though these relationships often improve
as adolescence grows te dose, especially among adolescent girls and their
family members

Peer groups becomes the general source of behaviour; desire for greater '
independence shown.
Great concern about jvhat others think of them
Have increased ability to engage in mental manipulations and test hy
potheses; Blinking becomes more abstract, liberal and knowledge
I. Adulthood Stage (twenty to sixty-five years of life)

The need for love and intimacy are met in adult life, becomes more fulfilling
in marriage, with the involvement of commitment
The need for generality through achievement
Bum out and alienation become a problem with work.
Moral development possesses responsibility for the welfare of others.
Changes In the primary senses and the organ reserve decline upon growing
older.
Menopause for women and climacteric for men signify the decline of sex
and reproduction.
. Old Age (sixty-five years of life)

Composed of individuals at and over the age of 65, most of whom have
retired from work
Most individuals in this late years begin to show slow, physical, intellectual
and social activities.
While there is a gradual decline of cognition in older life, older people see
art and nature in a deeper, more appreciative way.
Symptoms of senility which Include severe memory loss, rambling conver
sation, disorientation, and personality change occurs because of dementia,
a pathological loss of intellectual functioning.
In late adulthood, affiliation needs are more important than achievement
needs.

LEARNING
Learning
- involves the acquisition of new elements of knowledge, skills, beliefs and specific
behavior, may mean one or more of all these things:
- the act of gaining knowledge (to learn something), the knowledge gained by virtue
of that act (that which is known) the process of gaining knowledge (teaming how).
Banner and Cannon, 1997
- It is an ongoing process of continued adaptation to our environment, assimilation of
new information and accommodation of new Input to fit prior knowledge.
Learning Theories
They are sets of conjectures and hypothesis that explain the process of learning or how
learning takes place
Principles of Learning
Learning by doing Is more effective than just sitting and listening
Concepts should be presented in varied or different ways
Effort is put forth when tasks are challenging .
The principle of reatflness is related to the learners' stage of development
A. Behavioral/Learning Theory
- It operates on a principle of "Stimulus-Response"
- Prefers to concentrate on actfSTBl uUsavaWH behavior
1) Ivan Petrovich Pavlov's Classical Conditioning
Classical means "in the established manner"
Individual learns when a previously neutral stimulus Is repeatedly
Prof. Marlvilla Lydia B. Agfârao and Dr. -Betrim Pliilomena M. Sediila
P ro fessio n al Ed ucation
paired with an unconditioned stimulus until a neutral stimulus

evokes a conditioned response.
' _
Unconditioned stimulus-automatically produces an emotional

or physiological response.
.
Unconditioned response-natural occurring emotional or phys
iological response.
* Neutral stimuli - stimuli that does not elicit a response.
Conditioned stimulus - evokes an emotional or physiological
response after being conditioned.
Conditioned response - learned response to a previously neutral-condition.
Prof. Manvill.i Lydia B. Aggarao. and Dr. Benina Philomcna M. Sedilla
P rin c ip les and T h eo ries o f L e a rn in g an d M o tiv atio n *
Features of Classical Conditioning
1: Stimulus - Generalization - responding the same way to a similar stimuli.

2. Discrimination - responding differently to similar but not Identical stimuli.
3. Extinction - a process by which a conditioned response is lost________
2)
Edward Lee Thorndike's Connectionism

Connectionism means learning by selecting and connecting
Connectionism - puts more emphasis on the organism not limiting
himself to the association between the stimulus and the response .
Thorndike Theory of Learning
1. Law of Readiness - this law states that an individual Will team when
she is ready to do so.
2. Law of Exercise -this law states that a connection is strengthened or
weakened depaidbtg on the number of times it occws and in propor
tion to the werage vigor and duration of the connection..
a. Law of use - connections between stimulus and response are
strengthened as they are used.
b. Law of disuse - connections between a stimulus and response
are weakened when practice is discontinued.
3. Law of Effect - this law states that a connection Is strengthened if it
produces a satisfying effect
3) Burrhus Frederic Skinner's Operant Conditioning and Reinforcement
Operant Conditioning - using pleasant or unpleasant conse
quences to control the occurrence of behavior.
Reinforcers - any consequence that strengthen a behavior
Primary reinforcer-related to basic needs.
Secondary reinforcer - value of something is acquired
when associated with primaryteinforcer.
*
.. Positive reinforcer - consequence given to strengthen
a behavior
PNU L E T Reviewer

P rin c ip le s a n d T h e o rie s o f L e arn in g and M otivatio n
Negative reinforcer - release from.an unpleasant '

situation to strengthen behavior.
Reinforcemfent -satisfying consequence
Verbal
Physical
Non-verbal
Activity
Token
Consumable
Formula for reinforcement:
a) Prompt
b) Response
c) Reinforcement
4) Albert Bandura's Social / Observational Learning Theory

> Known for his Bobo doir experiment
People team through observation, simulation, modeling which
means watching (observing), another called a model and later
imitating the model's behavior.
Concentrates on the power of example
Models are classified as:
Real life - exemplified by teachers, parents and significant others
Symbolic - presented through oral/written symbols
Representational - presented through audio-visual measures
4 Phases of Observational Learning
a) Attention - mere exposure does not ensure acquisition of
behavior. Observer must attend to recognize the distinctive
features of the niodels response.
- .
b) Retention - reproduction of the desired behavior implies
that student symbolically retains that observed behavior
42
PNU LET Reviewer
c )' Motor Reproduction Process - after observation', physical

skids and coordination are needed for reproduction of the
behavior learned.
d) Motivational Process - although observer acquires and
retains ability to perform the modeled behavior, there will be
no overt performance unless conditions are.favorable
B. Cognitive Theories and Metacognition
- Main focus is on memory (the storage and retrieval of information)
- Prefer to concentrate on analyzing cognitive processes
- Believe in the non-observable behavior
1) David Ausubel's Meaningful Reception Theory
* Meaningful learning occurs when new experiences are related to
what a learner already knows.
May occur through:
reception
rote learning
discovery teaming

2) Jerome Bruner's Discovery Learning Theory or Inquiry Method/

Theory of Instruction
Posits that learning is more meaningful to learners when they
have the opportunity to discover on their own the relationships
among the concepts or to actively search for a solution to a
problem
An approach to instruction through which students interact
with their environment by exploring and manipulating objects,
wrestling with questions and controversies or performing exper
iments. The idea Is that students are more likely to remember
concepts they discover on their own.
Calls his view of learning "instwimntal conceptualism"
3) Wolfgang Kohler's Insight Leaning/Problem - Solving Theory
Insight - the capacity to discern the true nature of situation
-imaginative power to see into andunderstand immediately
Gaining insight is a gradual process of exploring, analyzing, and
structuring perception until a solution is arrived at
4) Richard Atkinson's and Richard Shlffrin's Information Processing
Theory
The Individual learns when the human mind takes In Information (en
coding), performs operation in it, stores the information (storage), and
retrieves it when needed (relileval)
Memory - the ability to store information so that it can be used at a
latertime.
STAGES OF HUMAN MEMORY
a) Sensory Memory-information stores that hold an exact
copy of stimuli for a very short period of time.
' Ex! color, shape, blowing of fiom
.
Prof.Marivilla Lydia B. Aggarao and Or. Benina Philoiuena M. Sedilla
P rin c ip le s an d T h e o rie s o f L e a r n in g an d M o tiv atio n
b) Short Term Memory (STM) -the information store that

retains the information as we consciously work on it.
Ex. telephone number
c) Long Term Memory (LTM) - information store that is
permanent
- Minutes to lifetime
- Information on The LTM, If not rehearsed, can be for
gotten through
- Trace decay structure of LTM > episodic, semantic
Forgetting
The inability to recall (something previously known) to the mind
Causes of Forgetting
a) Retrieval Failure- forgetting is due to inability to recall the
information.
b) Decay Theory - Information stored In LTM gradually fades
when it is not used.
c) 3. Interference Theory-forgetting in LTM is due to the
Influence of other learning
Retention - the ability to recall or recognize what has been teamed
or experienced.
Interference - the act or an instance of hindering, obstructing or
impeding.
Teaching for Transfer (Gagne)

Transfer - when something previous learned influences the new
material.

TRANSFER OF LEARNING
Types:
.
a) Lateral transfer -occurs when the Individual is aj)le to
perform a new task about the same level, (e.g, solving word
problems given In text and iater solving a similar problem
on the board)
. *
b) Vertical transfer - occurs when Ihe individual.Is able to
learn more advanced/complex skills (e.g. being able to add
and multiply; being able to read and write)
c) Specific Transfer - when a specific skill, fact or rule is
appted to a similar situation.
d) General Transfer - applying principles previously leaned to
dissimilar situations.
5) Robert Gagne's Cumulative Learning - any task or skill can be bro
ken down to simpler skills which can still be further broken down to
move simple tasks or skills.
Hierarchy of Learning
1. Signal Learning - responding to a signal, response Is conditioned

2. Stimulus-response Learning - voluntary responses are learned. .
3. Chaining/Motor - two or more separate motor/verbal responses,may
be combined or chained to develop a more complex response
4. Verbal Association - verbal connections are used to create asso
ciations.
5. Discrimination Learning - learner selects or distinguishes a response
which applies to stimuli.
6. Concept Learning - gives common response to an entire class of
stimuli
7. Principle Learning (Rule Learning) - involves combining and relating
concepts
8. Problem Solving-considered the most complex condition that leads
to the discovery of higher order rules

8) Urie Brofenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory/Environmental

Contexts
- Learning is greatly affected by the kind <Sfenvironment we are in.
- Learners are understood within the context of their environment.
' These environmental context are Interrelated.
Envtronmental Contexts: Malor Levels

1. Microsystem - Innermost level -contains the structure that has direct
contact with child
2. Mesosystem - connections between the structures of the child's
microsystem
3. Exosystem - 3rd level- social system which indirectly affects the
child
4. Macrosystem - outermost level in which all other symtems are
embedded such as values, customs, laws, beliefs and resources da
culture/society
5. Chronosystem - this system includes changes or consistencies inj
person's lifespan.
If the relationships in the immediate microsystem break down, the did

II. MOTIVATION
Motivation ^
- An internal state or condition (sometimes described as a need, desire or want) that
serves to activate or energize behavior and give it direction.
Two Kinds of Motivation:
1. Extrinsic Motivation
- when students work hard to win their parents' favour, gain teachers'
praise or earn high grades; their reasons for work and study lie primarily
outside themselves.
- is fuelled by the anticipation and expectation of some kind of payoff from
an external source
2. Intrinsic Motivation
- when students study because they enjoy the subject and desire to learn
it, irrespective of the praise won or grades earned; the reasons for learn
ing reside primarily inside themselves
- Fuelled by one's own goal or ambitions
Principles of Motivation
The environment can be used to focus the student's attention on what
needs to be learned.
incentives motivate learning
Internal motivation is longer lasting and more self - cHrecWvethan Is exter
nal motivation, which must be repeatedly reinforced by praise or concrete
rewards.
Uaming is most effective when an individual is ready to learn, that is when
one want to know something.'
Motivation Is enhanced'by the way in which the instructional material is
organized.

Theories of Motivation
1. Drive Theory (Clark Hull)
Drive is a condition of amusaLfloiension that motivates behavior
Drives most typically have been considered to involve physiological survival
needs; hunger, thirst, sleep, pain, sex.
A drive results from the activation of a need
Need - a physiological deficiency that creates condition of disequilibrium
in the body
~
2. Self-Efficacy (Albert Bandura)
Self - efficacy - it is the belief that one has capabilities to execute the courses
of actions required to manage prospective situations. Unlike efficacy, which
is the power to produce an effect (in essence competence) self - efficacy
is the belief (whether or not accurate) that one has Ihe power to produce
that effect
Self - efficacy relates to a person's perception of his/her ability to reach a
goal while, self - esteem relates to a persons sense of self - worth.
3. Self - Determination (E. Deci)
Self - determination - comes from the sense of autonomy that a person has
when it comes to things that he does and the choices he makes.
Tasks for a long period of time
To think meaningfully and creatively about those tasks
To experience pleasure in ones activities
To achieve at higher level
We have the capacity to take risks or challenges that
can enrich our lives and develop ourselves more
4. Expectancies and Values (Atkinson)
Motivation to perform-is affected by two variables
Expectancy - people must believe than they can accomplish a
task, that Is, they should lave expectancy about what ttwy wart
toachieve.
V&lue - they should place an importance or value in what they
are doing.

5. Attribution Theory (B. Weiner)

* Peoples various explanations for successes and failures - their beliefs
about what causes attributions.
Dimensions underlying peoples attribution. People can explain events in
many different ways. F5r example, a tennis player may attribute his/her
wins and successes In matches to things like - luck, health, effort, mood,
strengths and weaknesses of his/her opponents, climate, his/her fans etc.
TECHNIQUES IN MOTIVATING LEARNERS
Challenge them - offer students opportunities to undertake real challenges.

Encourage them to take intellectual risks.
Build on strengths first - Opportunity to use their talents to achieve success.
Offer choices - offering choices develop ownership. When child makes deci
sions he/she is more likely to accept ownership and control of the results.
Provide a secure environment which permits children to fail without penalty.
Learning how to deal with failure is critical for developing motivation and suc
cessful learning.

be supplemented by other methods.
3) Types of teaching approaches/methods/strategies
Direct/ /Teacher-centered approach - is teaser-centered/
controlled; teachers transmit Information directly to the learner
a) Deductive method- This method begins with a lute or
generalization that is applied to specific cases or examples.
It aims to test the rule or solve the given problem, ft is the
opposite of inductive method.
b) Demonstration or Showing method- Learning by obser
vation & imitation.* in this method, the teacher (or a select
group of pupils) performs the activity. The demonstration
may be live, filmed or electronically presented. The class
learns through observation and/or practice with real equip
ment and simulators.
c) Lecture method- Lecture is a teaching procedure for darifyfrig or explaining a major Idea cast in the form of question
or problem (Bossing). This is'very effective when the lecturer
has the lnformadon or materials which pupils do not have;
thus, imparts information and develops critfcal thinking,
largely by the use of the verbal message, with minimal class

participation. This is also considered as the most authorita

tive method of teaching:
. Indirect/Leamer-centered approach - is ieamer-controtfed;
students search for information
a) Concept deveiopment method- Subject matter is taught to
enabtepuplls to develop concepts. (A concept is an idea oc
representation of the common element or attribute by which
groups or classes may be distinguished. It is also a general
idea or understanding, especially one derived from specific
instances or occurrences) This method irwotves the essen
tial components of higher-order thinking skills like listing,
grouping, labeling, regrouping, and synthesizing.
b) Discovery mettjod-thte meftod refers to aninductive
method in guiding learners to discuss and organize ideas
and processes by themselves. They wilt undergo the pro
cess of observation, comparison and abstraction, general
ization and application. It means keeping them use ideas
already acquired as a means of discovering new ideas.
c) Inductive method- This would help pupils discover import
ant rules or truth tor themselves through careful observa
tions of specific cases or examples leading to generalizations. lt Is the opposite of deductive method.
d) Laboratory method- This method is effectively used In
Science and other related subjects. Apparatus and materials
are used to discover or verify facts and to study scientific
' relationship. Activities range from observation to investiga
tion/experimentation, which in turn provide learners with
firsthand experience,
. e) Problem-solving method- This is an application of John
Dewey's reflective thinking theory. This makes use of a
problem as a nucfeus which will make pupils work toward
its solution. Essentials to tills are statements of the problem
& hypothesis and evaluation & verification of solutten/result.
PNU LET Review er
1) 1Project method- This method is characterized by learners

planning, directing and executing activities which are
purposeful, natural, lifelike and significant. Projects may be
classified as physical material projects, learning projects
and intellectual or problem projects.
OtherModels /Teaching Strategies
a) Brainstorming- is a process forgenerating creative ideas
and solutions through Intensive and freewheeling group
discussion. It consists of individuaTor more in which a delib
erate attempt Is made to think creatively about all possible
approaches and solutions to a given problem.
b) Constructivist Teaching- believes that learning occurs as
learners are actively involved in a process (rf meaning and
knowledge construction rattier than passively receiving
information. Learning becomes possible when tasks are
authentic, set in a meaningful context and related to the
real world. At the end, critical thinkers, motivated and
independent learners are created.
c) Cooperative teaming - It is a successful teaching strategy
in which small teams, each with students of different levels
of ability, use a variety of learning activities to improve their
understanding of a subject. Each member of a team is
responsible not only for learning what is taught but also tor
helping teammates learn, thus creating an atmosphere of
achievement
d) Distance Learning^ or distance education is a mode of
delivering education and teaching, often on an individual
basis, to students who are not physical present in a
traditional setting such as a classroom. It provides access
to learning when the source of information and the learners
are separated by time and distance, or both."

e) Dale's Cone of Experience - a pictorial device that presents

bands of experience afranged according to degree of
abstraction. .
f) Held trip- It occurs outside the classroom and offers an
opportunity for students to get exposure to 'real" people and
events and tt opportunity to make connections with ofoers.

Ml. believe that children's thinking and learning skills vary
widely from child to child. It aims to develop learners who are analytic, interactive & introspective. Listed below are the
nine intelligences human beings are said to possess:
- Verbal-Linguistic - well-developed verbal skills and
sensitivity to the sounds, meanings and rhythms of
words
Mathematical-Logical - ability .to think conceptually and
abstractly, and capacity to discern logical or numerical
patterns
Musical - ability to produce and appreciate rhythm,
pitch and timber
Visual-Spatial - capacity to think in images and pic
tures, to visualize accurately and abstractly
Bodily-Kinesthetic - ability to control one's body move
ments and to handle objects skillfully
Interpersonal - capacity to detect and respond appro
priately to the moods, motivations and desires of others.
Intrapersonal - capacity to be self-aware-and in tune
with inner feelings, values, beliefs and thinking processes
Naturalist - ability to recognize and categorize plants,
animals and other objects in nature
Existential - sensitivity and capacity to tackle deep
questions about human existence, such as the meaning
of life, why do we die, and how did we get here,

problems-'-that are aligned with real-world concerns.
I) Reflective Teaching - is a response to past experience and.
involves conscious recall and examination of the experience
as a basis for evaluation and decision-making ami as a
source for planning and action,
m) Role playing- It involves a spontaneous portrayal (acting

to real-life.
n) Simulation- is an enactment of a make believe episode as
much like the real thing as possible,
o) Small-Group Instruction- Works best in rooms with mov
able furniture. It can provide interesting challenges, permit
students to progress at their own pace, provide a psycho
logically safe situation in which to master the material, and
encourage them to contribute to class activities. Grouping
may be done using ability, interest, skill, viewpoint activity .
or project, integration and arbitrary,
p) Socratic method- question and answer used by Socra
tes. The teacher does not give information directly but
instead asks students series of questions. Its goal is to
hefc students process information and engage In deeper
understanding of topics. It can be used at any grade level
and with ail subject areas, and lessons can be adapted to fit
a changing society
q) Symposium- Is a formal activity where two to five persons
talk on or discuss a .topic, especially an academlctopic or

students must be delivered skillfully by the teacher;The teacher's personality, philosophy
and teaching style will directly affect his or her managerial and disciplinary approach.
Following are approaches grounded m research and are applicable in the classroom.
They are distinct from each other yetshare common features. All are based on a mixture
of psychology, classroom experience and common sense. All blend elements of preven
tion with techniques for intervention (Omstein, 1990).
A. Approaches to Classroom Management
1) Assertive Approach
Based on Lee and Martens Canter's model of discipline in which
teachers insist on responsible behavior by their students
Expects teachers to specify rules of behavior and consequences
for disobeying them and to communicate these rules and con
sequences dearly
Assumes that classroom management liberate students because
it allows them to develop their best traits, skills and abilities, and
provides them with psychological security in the classroom and
an effective learning environment
2) Business-AcademicApproach
Developed by Evertson and Emmer, emphasizes the organization
and management of students as they engage In academic work
Involves a high degree of'time on task* and'academic engaged
time* for students. The idea is that when students are working
on their tasks there is little opportunity for discipline problems
to arise.
3) Behavioral Modification Approach
Rooted in the classic work of James Watson and the more recent
work of B.F. Skinner
It involves a variety of techniques and method ranging from simple
62
PNU L E T Reviewer
fewards to slaborate reinforcement training.

Assumes that behavior Is shaped by the environment and pay
little attention to the causes of problems
4) Group Managerial Approach
m Based on Jacob Kounin's research
- Emphasizes the importance of responding immediately to group
' students behavior that might be inappropriate or undesirable In
order to prevent problems rather than having to deal with them '
after they emerge
* If the misbehavior is not noticed, is ignored, or is allowed tc
continue for too long, It may create a ripple effect*
5) Group Guidance Approach
Based on the works of Fritz Redl
m Focuses on manipulating the surface behavior of the students
on a group basis
Discipline and olassroom control are produced through group
atmosphere and enhanced group support
6) Acceptance Approach
m Rooted in humanistic psychology
Mahtains that every person has a prime need of acceptance
Also based on the democratic model of teaching in which the
teacher provides leadership by establishing roles and conse
quences but at the same time allows students to participate in
decisions and to make choices
7) Success Approach
Rooted In humanistic psychology and democratic model of
leaching
. Deals with general psychological and social conditions. Teacher
should not excuse bad behavior on the part of the student They
need to change whatever negative classroom condition exists
and improve conditions that will lead to student success.
Or. Ma. Corazon R. S igua and Prof. Celia M. Ilanan
B. Management Routine
Routine is simply a set of procedure tor handling both daily occurrences and
minor interruptions of instructions
1) ADVANTAGES
a) Students will have more opportunity to learn and achieve
more.
b) Teachers can devote more time for quality instruction.
2) EXAMPLE
a) Checking of attendance
b) Distribution of Materials
c) Submission of test papers
d) Coming in and going out of the classroom
e) Payment of fees
C. Management of Time
The quantity and quality of academic instructional and engaged time affect
student performance. Time in school can be divided into 4 categories relating to
academic work (Omstein 1990).
1) Mandated time - the number of days and hours in the school calen
dar specified by the state and school laws.
2) Allocated time - the portion of time in school allocated to different
subjects and other activities in academic and non-academic areas
3) Academic Instructional time - the time the-teacher actually spends
in class giving instruction through various means In particular sub
jects and skills
4) Academic-engaged time - the time the students spend in performing
academic work

Curriculum as a cumulative tradition of organized knowledge

Curriculum as an experience
Curriculum as an instructional plan
Curriculum as an instructional outcome
.'
Levels of Curriculum
societal level of curriculum - the farthest from the learners since this is
where the public stakeholders (politicians, special interest groups, admin
istrators, professional specialists) participate in Identifying the goals, the
topics to be studied, time to be spent in teaching/learning, and materials
to aid instruction:
institutional level of curriculum - refers to the curriculum derived from the
societal level, with modification by local educators or lay people; often or
ganized according to subjects and includes topics ami themes to be stud
ied; may also include standards, philosophies, lesson plans, and teaching
guides.
instructional level of curriculum - refers to how teachers use the curriculum
developed in the societal level and modified in the institutional level, or what
authorities have determined; involves the teachers' Instructional strategies,
styles and materials used.
experiential level of curriculum - the curriculum perceived and experiencari
byeachstudentandmay, therefore, vary among learners because of Indi
vidual differences.

III. TYPES AND PATTERNS OF CURRICULUM
A. Sublect-Centered Curriculum
The subject centered curriculum designs are the most popular and widely
used curriculum designs. Knowledge and content are integral parts of the
curriculum. Teacher has full control of tfie curriculum.
PNU LET Reviewer
71
C u rric u lu m D e v e lo p m e n t
1. Separate Subject Design
Strengths
- the oldest and best known curriculum design- based on the concept of knowledge
- is organized by tbe disciplines on scholarly fields of specialized Inquiry
- emphasis on verbal activity, the teacher having the active role
- easy to deliver because complementary materials are readily available
- corresponds to textbook treatment and how teachers are trained as sub
ject specialists
Limitations
- Isolates and compartmentalizes knowledge
- overemphasis on subject matter resulted in a curriculum that is too tech
nical and toe specialized
- Inappropriate for a large number of students
- stresses content and neglect students reeds, interests and experiences
- teachers tends to foster passivity for learning among the students
2. Correlated Design
Strengths
- an attempt to eliminate the isolation and compartmentalization of sub
jects without radically overhauling the subject design curriculum
- disciplines linked while keeping identities of each
Limitations
- will require the teachers to plan their lessons cooperatively
- most class schedules do not allow sufficient block of time for students to
meaningfully study correlated subjects,
3. Broadfield Design /
Strengths
t
serves a response to society's demand for integration of knowledge a itf
more comprehensive models of knowledge
- dissolves the boundaries in ways that make the information meaningful
for the students
- knowledge will no longer be fragmented or linear but multidisciplinary
and multidimensional
72
PNU LET Reviewer
Limitations
- the issue of breadth versus depth
4. Process Design
Strengths
- the numerous curricula for teaching critical thinking exemplify this pro
cedural design
- learning how to learn design
B. Learner-Centered Design
The students are the center or focus of the program. These designs are found
more frequently at the elementary school level where teachers tend to stress
. the development of the whole child.
1. Child-CenteredDesign
-
students are actively involved in their environment

custom made on students lives, needs and interests
children would attain self-realization through social participation
emphasis on the child displaced the emphasis on subject-matter
2. Experienced-Centered Design
- curriculum cannot be pre-planned, that everything had to be done on
the spot
- heavy emphasis on learners interests and felt needs
- curriculum would be ever changing in addressing the needs of students
C. Problem-Centered Designs
Problem centered designs are organized to reinforce cultural traditions and also
address those community and societal needs that are cpentjy unmet The
major concern Is with genuine life problems, and the need to adjust or-cater to
the concerns and situation of learners
1. Life Situation Design .

Strengths
- focus on the^roblem solving procedures-for learning

Dr. M a. Corazon B . Sigua and Prof. B ert J . Tuga
'
content is organized in ways to allow students to clearly view problem

areas
- utilizes past and current experiences of learners as a means of making
' them analyze the basic areas of living
- lining of subject matter to real situations increased the relevance of the
curriculum
Limitations
- ability to determine the scope and sequence of the essential areas of
living
- tends to indoctrinate youth into the existing condition
- many teachers are not comfortable with it because it departs from cur
ricular tradition maintained by colleges and universities
2. Core Design
- sometimes called social function"
- aims at creating a universal sense of inquiry, discuss and understanding
among learners of different background
- centers on general education and is based on problems arising out of
common human activities
- variations of core design
a) subject matter core would be classified as subject centered design
b) areas of living core rooted in the progressive education tradition
- it unifies content, present subject matter relevant to the learners and
encourages active processing of information
C urriculum Approaches
Several curriculum approaches reflect the developers view of reality, philosdphy, history, psychology, social issues and the domain of knowledge among others. .
An approach expresses a viewpoint about the development and design of curriculums. .
It can be viewed from a technical and non technical or scientific and non-scientific per
spective Pago, 2001).

A.
Technical-Scientific Approach
It reflects the traditional view on-education and formal methods of schooling.
The technical-scientific approach views curriculum development as something
similar to engineering and architecture which use instruments.and empirical
methods in preparing blueprints.
1. Behavioral-Rational Approach
- oldest and still the most preferred aooroach
- it is a means -end approach which is logical and prescriptive
Ralph Tyler Model: Four Basic Principles. This is also popularly known as Tyler's
Rationale.
Four Fundamental Principles
1. What educational purpose should the school seek to attain?
2. What educational experiences can be provided that are likely to attain these .
purposes?
3. How can these education experiences be effectively organized?

4. How can we determine whether these purposes are being attained or not?

- Because of the cognitive demands of the approach, it overwhelms many
beginning students who usually lack sufficient philosophical and theoret

A. Mon- Technical/ Non - Scientific Approach

1. Humanistic -Aesthetic Approach
- promotes the liberation of learners from authoritarian teachers
- encourages group learning activities which promote cooperation rather
than Individual competition
- emphasis on how to team, not on what to learn
2. Reconceptuallst Approach
- reflects the existentialist orientation
- purpose of education Is to emancipate society from traditional, outmoded
orders through Individual free choice
- emphasize learning experiences that develop.personal self-expression

The Components of Design
Adapted from Exploring the Curriculum

H.H. Wes 1942p2
PNU L E T Reviewer m
C u rricu lu m D evelo pm ent
1. Sources of Design
'
a) Science - The scientific method provides meaninglor the curricu

lum design.
b) Society-School should draw its ideas for the curriculum from the
analysiyof the social situation.
c) Eternal and Divine Sources - Designers should simply draw on the
pad for guidance as to what Is appropriate content
d) Knowledge-What knowledge Is of most worth?"
ej Learner - Curriculum should be derived from what we know about
the learners, how he a she teams, forms attitudes, generates inter
ests and develops values
2. Dimensions of Curriculum Designs (BASICS)
Basics - equitable distribution of content, time, experiences and

other elements of design
Articulation - interrelatedness of various aspects of the curriculum
(vertical and horizontal)
Scope - the breaths and depths of the curriculum
Integrations - refers to the linking of all types of knowledge and
experiences contained within the curriculum plan
Continuity - vertical repetition and recurring of the content
Sequence- provide continuous and cumulative teaming

Principles for Sequence
a) simple to complex
b) prerequisite learning
cj whole to part
d) chronological
3. Selection of the Curricular Elements .
1) Selection of Objectives
- should describe behavior
- stated analytically and specifically
[PNU L E T Reviewer
'
P ro fessio n al E d u c atio n
- developmental rather than terminal

- SMART
- considers the 3 objective domains
2) Selection of Content
- -criteria for selecting content^
a ). V alidity-if It is authentic
b) Significance/ relevance - consistent with social realities,
e) Balance of breadths and depths - coverage
d) Leamability - adjustable to learner's a S ility 'T v ^ T
e) Appropriateness-parallel with ieamer needs and interest
f) Utility-useful on the performance of life activities
3) Selection of Learning Experiences
- criteria for selecting experiences
a) Appropriateness - should be appropriate and suitable
to the content, activities and level of development of the
learners
b) Variety - should include minds on, hands on, and authentic
learning experiences
c) Optimal value- should encourage the learners to continue
teaming on their own
d) Feasibility- in terms of human, physical and financial
resources
4. Grade Placement
- Involves allocation of content to definite grade capable of learning
- Considers such factors as: child's ability, difficulty of item, Importance of
content, maturation, mental age, experiential background
5. Time Allotment
- Refets to specification of definitetime for subject/course; amount of time

given to a subject
- Considers such factors as: importance of subject; childs ability; grade
level average number of days/hours
Dr. M a. Corazcm B . Sigua and Prof. B ert J . Tuga
C. Curriculum Implementation '

Implementation is an interaction between those who have created the pro;
gramme and those who are charged to deliver it. According to Ornstein and
Hunkins (1998), implementation:
requires educators to shift from the current programme which they are
familiar with to the new or modified programme.
Involves changes in the knowledge, actions and attitudes of people
can be seen as a process of professional development and growth involv
ing ongoing Interactions, feedback and assistance.
is a process of clarification whereby Individuals and groups come to un
derstand and practice a change in attitudes and behaviors; often involving
using new resources.
involves change which requires effortand will produce a certain amount of
anxiety m i to minimize these, it is useful to organize implementation into
manageable events and.to set achievable goals.
requires a supportive atmosphere in which there is trust and open commu
nication between administrators, teachers educators, and where risk-taking
Is encouraged.
D. Curriculum Evaluation
The process of delineating, obtaining and providing useful Information for
judging decision alternatives
involves value judgment about the curriculum
'Did we do what we wanted to do?'
Types of Evaluation
1.
According to approach .
Humanistic vs Scientific
2.* According to scope

3.
According to tWng
Formattve vs Summative
Or. M a. Coraxon B . Sigut ind Prof. Bert J . Tuga
C u rric u lu m D e v elo p m e n t
Why Evaluate
1) Meet demands that current educational reforms have made

2) Provide directions, security, and feedbacks to all concerned
3) Determine appropriate and available resources, activities, content,

method or whether curriculum has coherence, balance, articula
tion, scope, integration, continuity and sequence in order to meet
curriculum goals/ objectives
What areas in curriculum are qualified for evaluation?
1} mission statement (philosophy)
2) sequence (order)
3) continuity (without disruptions)
4) scope (depth/ variety of content)
5) articulation (how parts fit)
6) balance (quantitative and qualitative aspects of content)
7) coherence (relationships among different components)
E. Curriculum Improvement
-
Enriching, modifying certain aspects without changing fundamental con

ceptions/elements/ structure
Levels of Operations for Improvement
1) Substitution - substituting a new book for the current series
2) Alternation - adding to instructional time
3) Variations-transferring a successful program
4) Restructuring-organizing teams for teacher and specialists

5) Value orientation change - shifting from routine instruction to com
puter assisted instruction
Actions that Facilitate Curriculum Improvement

1) Change climate and woridng condition to encourage improvement
2) Maintain appropriate tempo

periences based on conceptions which may be at the school, district or
national le\fei
- To make different by shifting to new goals and means

Principles that Guide Change Process
1) People improve when they detect the desire of the stimulator to im
prove himself.
2) Direction of improvement should be determined cooperatively.
3) People must identify and examine each others centrally held values.
4) People Improve through experience.
5) Divide time between contact individual and with group.

9) Use power with great care.

10) Operate on a limited number of fronts at a given time.
VII. CURRICULUM ALIGNMENT
Curriculum Alignment - alignment between curriculum and one or more of
the following elements, state standards, standardized test/state test, curriculum
embedded tests, student's assignments, lesson plans, textbooks and instruction
Vertical Alignment - planning curriculum across the grade levels from
kindergarten through high school, building upon insbuction based upon
standards
Horizontal Alignment - alignment of the curriculum being taught by
teachers in common grade level
Written Curriculum - specifies what Is to be taught ?nd is produced by the
state, the school system, the school and the classroom teacher
Taught Curriculum - what the teacher actually teach in tffe classroom .

each question. Analyze the items using the first 5 Items as your sample. Write only the
1.
Which is NOT a provision for the development of each learner in a good curriculum?
A. Extensive arrangements are made for the educational diagnosis of Individual
learners.
B. Self-directed, Independent study is encouraged wherever possible and
advisable.
C. Self-motivation and self-evaluation are stimulated and emphasized through
out the learning opportunities of the school.
D. The program provides a wide range of opportunities for individuals with same
abilities, needs, and interests.
Analysis:
Option D is CORRECT. Notice the word NOT in the question above. This entails that
the answer to the question Is a provision or activity which does not promote the
development of each learner. While option D mentions of a program which provides
a wide range of opportunities for individuals, it only focuses on Individuals with the
same level of abilities, needs and interest It fails to consider individual differences.
Option A Is INCORRECT. The provision of extensive educational diagnosis of learn
ers will really help address the specific needs of children.
Options B and C are INCORRECT. Self-directed, independent study and self-mo
tivation and evaluation highlight the ability of children to construct and direct, their
pwn learning. These enable them to develop their potentials to the fullest.
2.

because she believes that all subjects in this type of curricuiuifi are geared towards
the holistic development of the learner, is her belief about the subject-centered
curriculum true?

-------
C u r r ic u lu m D e v e lo p m e n t
A. Yes, because the subject-centered curriculum focuses on the learners needs,

interests, and abilities.
8 . No, because itjs the experience-centered curriculum that emphasizes the

teaching of facts and knowledge for future use.
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 integration of habits and skills in teaming the
knowledge component of a subject areas.
Analysis:
Option 0 is CORRECT. The belief of Teacher Lily about the subject-centered curric
ulum is not acceptable. Holistic development covers physical, socio-emotkmal, men
tal and moral development of learners. This is possible under an experience-centered curriculum.
Option B is INCORRECT. While it agrees to the premise that Teacher Lily's con
ception about the subject-centered curriculum is not true, this option could not be
accepted because It presents conflicting information. It is' subject-centered curric
ulum, not experience-centered cunriculum, which emphasizes the teaching of bets
end knowledge.
Option A and C are INCORRECT. The consideration of learners' needs, interests,
and abilities including cooperative practices in the classroom are seme of the im
portant traits of experience-centered curriculum.
3. In the elementary level, English literature and Social studies relate well. While his
tory is being studied, different literary pieces during the historical period is being
studied as well.What curriculum design is shown here?
A. Separate Subject design
C.
B. Correlation design
-D.
Analysis:
Option C is CORRECT. Subjects are related to one another but individual subject,
maintains its identity. In the question above, English literature and-social studies corP W L E T Reviewer

C u r ric u lu m D e v e lo p m e n t
| relate well. The literary pieces being studied in English literature reflect the culture,
social activities even the problems and issues in each historical period.
Options A and B are INCORRECT. Both separate subject design and discipline
design are compartmentalized. They stress so much on cluster of topic, content and
academic disciplines. .
Option D is INCORRECT. Like correlation design, .broadfiejd design was made to
prevent compartmentalization of subjects. However, unite correlation design, broad
field considers wider integration of subjects that are fused into one subject. Thus,
| the identity of each subject combined is lost.
4. This phase of curriculum development involves decisions, among other things, on
grade placement and sequencing of content. Which phase is this?
A. Curriculum planning
C. Curriculum organization
B. Curriculum evaluation
0. Curriculum implementation
Analysis:
Option C Is CORRECT. Decisions on sequencing of content and grade placement
are done on the level of curriculum organization/design. In this level, the curriculum
developer determines the scope and sequence of content in each subject based on
the design of the curriculum.
Option A, C and D are INCORRECT. Planning involves, among others, diagnosis of
needs and social demands which will make up the goals/objectives of the curric
ulum. This is done at the Initial phase of curriculum development process. Imple
mentation is more concern on the actual delivery of the curriculum in the schools/
classrooms. This process is conducted after the content, grade placement, etc. had
been finalized. Evaluation is the terminal part of the curriculum development process
where the'efficiency, effectiveness, aria impact of the'curriculum are measured.
5. One example of this design of subject-centered curriculum is that which shows
social studies being combined with geography, civics and culture, and history to
comprise one subject area. Which design is this?
A. Correlated
C. Separate Subject
B. Broadfletds

D. Core

Analysis;
.
Option B Is CORRECT. Broadfield design was made to prevent the compartmentalization of subjects and integrate the contents that are related to each other. Thus
geography, civics and culture, and history are fused into one subject-called social
studies. Eventually, the identity of each subject is lost. Broad field draws around
themes and integration.
Option A is INCORRECT. Correlated design relates the content of two subjects in
order to reduce fragmentation. However, the identity of each subject is maintained.
This is not the case in the question above.
Option C is INCORRECT. Separate subjects design is highly compartmentalized
and fragmented.
Option D is INCORRECT. Core design revolves around general education and the
problems are based on common human activities.

. Theoretical Models in Reading

1. Bottom-up - depicts reading starting with the input of some graphic signals or
stimulus. The role of the reader is to get meaning romthe text based on the stim
ulus or the words used. This is also called data-driven processing.
Dechant (1991), citing Gove (1983), claims that the adherents of the BOTTOM-UP MODEL of reading put forward the idea that:
a) it is imperative for readers to recognize every word in a selection so
that they can comprehend it;
b) word and sound-letter cues should be the primary tool that readers
should use so that they can identify unrecognized words;
c) the mastery of a series of word-recognition sklls Is the primary
requirement for reading acquisition;
d) instruction should focus principally on the teaching of letters;
letter-sound relationships, and words;
e) accuracy in recognizing words is significant; and
0 it is important for readers to have the knowledge of discrete sub-
2. Top-down - oepicts reading beginning with tbe cognitrye processes occurring in

the reader's mind as he. or she. reads! The role of the reader is to give meaning
to the text based on the information already held within the reader?store of prior
knowledge. This is also called concept-driven processing.
Supporters oftheTOP-DOWN MODEL of reading, according to Decfiant (1991),
pot forward that:
a) even though readers do not recognize each word, they may be able
to comprehend a selection;
PNU LET Reviewer
85
D e v e lo p m e n ta l R e a d in g
b) meaning and grammatical cues primarily.assist readers to identify

unrecognized words;
c) the mastery of a series of word-recognition skills takes a back seat
in comparison to the use of meaning activities;
d) . the reading of sentences, paragraphs, and whole selections should
be the principal focal point of instruction;
e) reading for meaning is the central objective of reading rather than
the mastery of letters, letter/sound relationships, and words; and
f) the iamount and kind of information obtained through reading is the
most important aspect of reading.
3. Interactive - depicts reading as the process of constructing meaning through
the dynamic interaction among the reader's existing knowledge, the information
suggested by the written language, and the context of the reading situation. . '
The third model of reading, which is the INTERACTIVE MODEL, neither accepts
nor rejects the pure and extreme betefs of the iwo earlier models. The advo
cates of this model put forward the idea ttiat
a) readers process letters and words at the same time as they formu
late hypotheses about the meaning of what is on the printed page
(Dechant, 1991);
^
b) meaning simultaneously comes from a combination of different
sources like logographic knowledge, graphemic knowledge, phono
logical knowledge, orthographic knowledge, morphemic knowledge,
grapheme-phoneme correspondence, lexical knowledge, semantic
Knowledge, syntactic knowledge,'and schematic knowledge (De
chant, 1991); and
c) Instruction should give a balanced emphasis to the teaching of
whole texts and phonics.

PNU L E T Review er
A Reading teach er should be...

A. aware of one's thinking process
B. careful in examining ones thinking process and the thinking process of
others
C. practicing ones thinking abilities
When teachers do these, the learners are expected to benefit from them so that
they may also be developed to become critical, creative, and metacoanitive
readers.
The reading teacher should bear in mind that a CRITICAL reader:
> must carefully examine his/her thinking and the thinking of others, in order to
clarify and improve own understanding
> should examine and test suggested solutions to see whether they will wori<
> need to fest ideas'for flaws or defects and must not be inhibited by fear of
being aggressive and destructive, nor have fear of retaliation, and over-eval
uation
> should engage in critical thinking activities such as thinking actively, carefully
exploring situations with questions, thinking for oneseif, viewing situations
firom different perspectives, and dtecussing ideas in organized ways
Critical thinkers are Skeptical (Just because it's in print doesn't mean it is right)
Fact-oriented (Give me the facts and convince me that they are the relevant
ones)
' Analytic (How has the worktjeen organized? What strategies has the writer
used?)
* Open-minded ( Be prepared to listen to different points of view; do not be
restricted by personal biases)
Questioning (What other conclusions could be supported by the evidence?)
Creative (What are some entirely different ways of looking at the. problem
orissue?)
*
Prof. Ju d y C . Bautista and Prof. M erry Ruth M . Gutierrez
Willing to take a stand (Is the argument convincing? What is my position

on the issue?)
Show the ability to separate fact from opinion; recognize propaganda
techniques, compare-different sources of information; recognize important
missing information; draw inferences that are not explicitly stated, and iden
tify the author's background and purpose
The reading teachershould take into consideration that a CREATIVE reader:
> uses his/her cognitive processes to develop ideas that are unique, useful,.
and worthy of further elaboration
> discovers a new or improved solution to a problem, or a set of new ideas
> organizes ideas In different ways, and makes unusual comparisons
> is not inhibited by conformity, censorship, rigid education, and desire to find
an answer quickly
The reading teacher should also remember that a METACOGNIT1VE reader > is aware of one's mental processes such that one can monitor, regulate, and
directthem to a desired end
> has the ability to think about and control own learning
> practices self-regulation and monitoring comprehension by answering the
following questions:
1) Are there any words I don't understand?
2) Is there any information that doesn't agree, with what I already know?
3) Are there any ideas that do not fit together because I can't tell who or
what is being talked about?
4) Are there any ideas that do not fit together because I can't tell how
the ideas are related?
5) Are there any ideas that don't fit together because I think the ideas
are contradictory?
6) - Is there any information missing or not dearly explained?

> Factors that Help Emergent Literacy Learners' Reading Development
Background of experiences-exposure to various experiences, opportu
nities (oral expression, listening, writing) and materials
Language facility - opportunities for oral expression (conversation, dis
cussion, oral reports, storytelling, drama, etc.), listening, writing.
Prof.ju d y C . Baurisra and Prof. M erry Ruth M . Gutierrez
Interest in reading-oral reading, free silent reading, recreational reading,

close reading/study of literature, book clubs, paperbacks, magazines, and
newspapers, poetry reading, poetry
etc..
Social and emotional development- Individual and group communica
tion and participation; structured ei$eriehces so the child feels accepted
and secure and develops desirable attitudes toward himself and others
(Language is a prime catalyst in social and emotional development).
Physical development - Other thangood general health, vision and hear
ing acuity are most important Auditory discrimination of speech sounds
suggests ideas like rhyming words and initial sounds in words. The childs
need to make fine visual discrimination is obvious, suggesting early ac
tivities with forms and shapes, and letter recognition, words beginning or
ending alike, etc.
Intelligence - data attest to the importance of mental age, but do not es
tablish a particular point on the mental age, continuum as the point below
which children will not achieve success in reading. Pre-reading activities,
socioeconomic factors, teachers, methods, and materials must be consid
ered in each individual situation.
> Beginning Reading
1. Who are beginning readers?
- Kinder to grade 1 (Gunning, 2003)
- Anyone who have not been taught the conventional reading (Sav
age,.1994)
- A person learning to read in the second language (Folse, 1996)
What are their characteristics?
- problem solvers
- needing plenty of opportunities for choice
- motivated through novelty
-
- retaining information better if given a chance to master a few thingswell
^
- needing TIME for learning'
- bringing more thjn an empty shell to school _
Prof.-Judy C . Bautista and Prof. M erry Rath M. G u rierr
D ev elo p m e n ta l R e a d in g
2. When is the right time to teach beginning reading?

- A child is never totally ready or unready to read.
- When learners have achieved unity of their capabilities, abilities
with their interests (Hfttteman, 1978).
3. Appropriate approach in teaching beginning reading
> Balanced Reading Instruction in Practice"
FOUR CUING SYSTEMS IN READING
Graphophonic Cues
Schematic Cues
Semantic Cues
Syntactic Cues
Start with whole text Grounding instruction in whole texts provides the
basis for meaningful literacy activities. Examples include the shared reading
of poems or stories using big books or charts. An active demonstration of
the teacher's own composing and spelling processes s extremely powerful,
as he or she models at the chalkboard, thinking aloud about what word will
come next or how a word is spelled.
Focus on knowledge about the parts o f language that may be useful
for reading and writing. Responding to all texts only at the holistic level
is not enough. Instruction should 'include a planned, systematic effort to
highlight specific textual features and literary devices as a variety of mate
rials are read, mitten, and discussed over time. Highlighting specific textual
features helps children form generalizations about language that they.can
apply to their own independent-efforts to-read and write. *
Return to whole texts for application and practice.- Planned opportu
nities to apply what has'been learned about the parts of language allow
students to move, from simply knowing about a, generalization to using
PNU L E T Reviewer

D evelopm ental R e a d in g
that knowledge in a purposeful'way. This also acknowledges the"fact that

isolated language elements behave differently depending on. context. For
. example, the letter s behaves differently when paired with t as oppos&l to
.h. Words such as lead or wind not only mean different things in different
contexts, they may be pronounced differently. Effective teginning readers
use word meaning and sentence structure, along withsound-ietter relation
ships, to approach unknown words.

teaching beginning reading)

Steps in Applying Selected Strategies

A. Vocabulaiy Previews
1) Check the assignment and list words that may be important for stu
dents to understand.
2) Arrange these in a schema that shows the interrelationships particular
to the learning tasks.
3) Add to this seherna words students probably already understand in
order to highlight relationships between the new and the known.
4) Double-check the overview to make sure that major ideas are dearly
shown and In a way that students will understand.
5) Share the structured overviewwiti students, teffing them whywordswere
placed where they were and asking them to contribute other words.
6} As students read, have them relate other new words and Information
to the graphic overview.
B. Directed Reading-Thinkfrtg Acttvfty (DRTA)
1) The teacher has students survey an assignment using Sties, headings,
and pictures Tifget a general idea of what the author is discussing.
The teacher regularly asks,
"What do you think this section will be about? Why?*
2) The students read up to a point predetermined by the teacher. '
3) The teacher asks similar questions but posed to reflect the reading;
that is, What was it about? Were you correct? Why did you predict
. incorrectly?'

. 4) The group then reads on to the next stopping point, once again read
ing to find answers to their questions.
5) The process continues until the completion of the assignment.
C. Guided Reading Procedure
1) Prepare students by explaining important concept, building appro
priate background knowledge, and providing directions for the actual
reading.
2) Students read, trying to remember all they can.
3) Students him their books over on their desks and repeat all they can
remember while the teacher records this on the board.
4) The teacher calls attention to information not remembered and
suggests that students reread to discover more.
5) Students reread.
6) Their new recollections are now recorded on the board but now in
outline form.
7) The teacher asks more questions to help students recall more from
their riding and tries to synthesize the new information with the
Information obtained by the first reading.
8) Immediate feedback is given to students through a quiz.
0. Request
1) teacher and students read together a section of the text, usually the
first sentence.
2) The teacher closes the book and invites questions from the group.
3) Nextthe students dose their books, and the teacher asks them ques
tions about what they have read.
4) When the teacher believes that students understand that much of the
text, toe next section is read and steps 1 and 2 are repeated.
5) Once students become familiar with ReQuest and with the text, the
teacher Incaporates predictions (as In DRTA).
6) The group rereads the re n tin g sections.

go over all the information he teacher would like to cover. The
strategy is an excellent way to reinforce information in a vari
ety of ways: The Circle group focuses on verbal learning, the

4) Partner Prediction
.
This strategy gives students the opportunity to work.with-their
peers and make predictions about as story or section. Because
students are sharing their ideas with a partner, more students
will be able to discuss prediction and they will not feel
self-conscious about speaking in front of the entire class. If a
student is having difficulties with prediction, partner him or her
with someone who is able to dd it, and he or she will have the
opportunity'to see how the process is done.
Procedure
First, identify places in the text to stop and predict what might
happen next. Then read the title and first portion aloud and. ask
what students think the story will be about Students should be
seated next to partners so they can share their ideas with each
other. This process is repeated throughout the reading. When
the end of the selection is near, stop and ask how students think

Assessment
Through teacher observation and discussion/determine accuracy
of student predictions. Monitor the involvement of individual,

determine students' level of comprehension by assessing their
responses after reading. Encourage responses from students
who appear off task. Students should correctly respond to 80%
of the questions during a discussion. Change partners to increase
accuracy if necessary.
5) Reciprocal Teaching
This strategy allows students to begin to work together and to

letter of yourcholce in your answer sheet
. 1. Mrs. Manuel believes in the power of environmental print to develop the pupils'
sight word recognition, print orientation, and even comprehension in a meaningful
way. Which of the following materials is NOT an example of environmental print?
A. Old boxes of powdered milk
B. Chocolate bar wrappers
This question is ail about the development of children's literacy through exposure to
authentic print, which is referred here as environmental print. ChoiceA, B, and C, are
all examples of authentic materials because they are made not for instructional pur
poses but for real-life purposes. Since the question demands to Identify the non-exampie of environmental print it clearly Implies that choice D is the correct answer.
2. Ms. Custodio teaches preschool. She is preparing to employ a shared book expe
rience activity for her kindergarteners. Which of the following materials should Ms.
Custodio probably need?
A. Flashcards
C. Basal texts
Big books
0. Word lists
This question demands for the materials that the teacher should be using in a shared
book experience activity. Choice A and choice D should be eliminated because the
materials are dearly non-examples of books. Leaving B and C as the remaining
options, one has to eliminate choice C because learners are assumed to have the
same basal tads or textbooks- Choice B is the correct answer because big books '
are appropriate for sharing through read-atoudsomething which characterizes a
shared book experience activity.

3. Ms. Adona asks her pupil to point to the first word that should be read In the big
book. Then, she asks the pupil to point to the last word to be read. Which of the
following assessment measures does Ms. Adona employ in this situation?
A. Assessment of Reading Comprehension
Ji. Assessment of Spelling Ability
( c \ Concepts about Print Test
IT Vocabulary Test
This question asks for the assessment measure that the teacher clearly employs to
her student. Choice A should be eliminated since reading comprehension measures
the ability to answer questions through the information gleaned from the premises of
the text with interaction to the existing schema of the reader. Choice B should also be
eliminated because the assessment measure described does not state that the read
er was made to spell words. Choice 0 should also be eliminated because the Ieamer
was not made to define, or at least tell the meaning of the words that were pointed.
Choice C is the correct answer because Concepts of Print Test measures the knowl
edge of readers about reading directionality, upper- and lower-case letters, first and
last words in sentences or paragraphs, and other conventions of printed texts,
4. Ms. Padilla is a Grade 1 Teacher who is concerned with building letters into words
and words into sentences. She uses flashcards so the pupils can sound out
syllables and words correctly. What reading model is reflected in Ms. Padilla's
instruction? .
) Bottom-Up model
C. Interactive model
B. Top-Down model
D. Schema model
This question shows the theoretical bases of Ms. Padilla's reading instructional prac
tices for teaching beginning reading. Choice B,.which is the top-down model,
is obviously not the answer because the practice using this model starts with the
teaching of whole texts rather than building on isolated parts. Choices C and
0, recognize the teaching practice of Ms. Padilla, however, the emphasis of these
models focus on the use of relevant prior experiences, which are considered whole.
Therefore, since the practice of Ms. Padilla isolates the teaching of beginning reading
by having the smallest element of language and building itjnto bigger segments, the
answer must be choice A.
5. Ms. Torres believes ttiat her pupils need direct sensory contact and physical ma
nipulation in the dassroom'so that they learn easily and recall input effortlessly.
What is the grade level of Ms. Torres class?
C. Intermediate
D. High School
This is a.question on stages of reading development. Choices C and Dare obviously
not the correct answers because students in the intermediate and high school levels
generally use abstract thinking. Choice'B may be taught through concrete experi
ences. Nevertheless, primary students already begin to grasp the alphabetic principle
so that they could start learning the abstract symbols of the graphemes and the
phonemes. The pupils under Ms.' Tomes' class obviously need concrete experiences
through direct sensory contact sothat later on, they will use these experiences to
recognize the formal aspects of thelanguage. Therefore, the correct answer is
choiceA.
6. Mr. Morauda is a Grade 1 Teacher who plans reading instruction as a part of the
language block. He provides varied reading experiences that involve children sitting
quietly, silently reading library books or making a book based on their own experi

DESIGN, DEVELOPMENT AND UTILIZATION OF EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

Instructional Design Models
1. ADDIE Model
The'AODIE-model is a systematic instructional design model consisting of five
(toes: (i) Analysis, (2) Design, (3) Development (4) Implementation, and
(5) Evaluation.
Prof. Mariiou M. Ubina and Prof. John P. Nacividad
E d u catio n al T ech n o lo gy 1 & 2
The five phases of ADDfE are as follows:

Analysis ~
.,
/7r@-eL
d fc & - J7 U
During analysis, the designer identifies the learning problem, the goals and
objectives, the audience's needs, existing knowledge! and any other relevant
characteristics. Analysis also considers the learning environment, any con
straints, the delivery options, and the timeline for the project.
Design
It is systematic process of specifying learning objectives. Detailed storyboards
and prototypes are often made, the look and feel, graphic design, user-interface
and content are determined here.
Development
The actual creation (production) of the content and learning materials based on
the Design phase.
Implementation
During implementation, the plan is put into action and a procedure for training
the learner and teacher Is developed. Materials are delivered or distributed to
the student group. After delivery, the effectiveness of the training materials is
evaluated.
valuation
This phase consists of (1j formative and (2) summative evaluation. Formative
evaluation involves gathering information during the early stages of the design
process with the focus on M in g out whether efforts are relating as planned,
uncovering any obstacle, barriers or unexpected opportunities that may have

Varieties of Computer applications for distance education are:

. ..
. Computer-assisted instruction (CAI) - uses the computer as a
- self-contained teaching-machine to present individual lessons.
Computer-managed instruction (CMI) - uses the computer to
organize instruction and track student records and progress. The
instruction itself need not be delivered via a computer, although
CAI is often combined with CMI.
Computer-mediated education (CME) - describes computer
applications that facilitate the delivery of instruction. Examples
include electronic mail, fax, real-time computer conferencing, and
World-Wide Web applications.
Computer-based multimedia (CBM) - HyperCard, hypermedia,
and a still-developing generation of powerful, sophisticated, and
flexible computing tools have gained the attention of distance ed
ucators in recent years. The goal of computer-based multimedia
Is to Integrate various voice, video, and computer technologies
into a single, easily accessible delivery system.
It is a foundational element of distance education programs and the basis
from vyhich all other delivery systems have evolved. Various print formats
are available including: modules, textbooks, workbooks, study guide,
course syllabi, and case studies.

They will often include exercises, related readings and additional

Prof. Marilou M, Uhina and Prof. John P. Naiividad
In a distance education, context workbooks are often used to provide

A comprehensive and well-planned course syllabus is the founda
tion of many distance-delivered courses. It provides course goals and
objectives, performance expectations, descriptions of assignments,
Course syllabus related readings (often by session), grading criteria, and a day-byday overview of the material to be covered. The syllabus must be
as complete as possible in order to guide the students through the
course in the absence of daily contact with the instructor.
If written imaginatively, case studies are an extremely effective in
structional tool. In fact, case studies are often designed around the
limitations of print and intended to spark the students' imaginations

example, the instructor must:
Develop an understanding of the characteristics
and needs of distant students with little first-hand
experience and limited, If any, face-to-face contact.

tive established by the teacher. At a minimum, she/he sets up
equipment, collects assignments, proctors tests, and acts as
the instructor's on'-sife eyes and ears.
These individuals are the silent heroes of the distance edu
cation enterprise and ensure that the myriad details required
for program success are dealt with effectively. Most success
ful distance education programs consolidate support service
functions to include student registration, materials duplication
and distribution, securing of copyright clearances, facilities
scheduling, processing grade reports, managing technical
resources, etc.
Effective distance education administrators are more than idea
people. They are consensus builders, decision makers, and
referees. They work closely with technical and support service
personnel, ensuring that technological resources are effec
tively deployed to further the Institution's academic mission.
Most importantly, they maintain an academic focus, realizing
that meeting the instructional needs of distant students is their
ultimate responsibility.
Considerations and Decisions to Select the Best Delivery System

Consider the goal, learner characteristics, the learning and performance contexts,
objectives, and assessment requirements.
Reviewthe instructional analysis and identify logical grouping of objectives that win be
taught it appropriate sequences.
Plan the learning components that will be used in the instructions.
Choose the most effective student groupings for learning.
Specify effective media and materials that are within the range of cost, convenience,'
and practicality for the learning context. ________

PURPOSES OF CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT

1. Assessment FOR Learning - this Includes three types of assessment done be. fore and during instruction. These are placement, formative and diagnostic,
a. Placement - done prior to instruction
Its purpose is to assess the needs of the learners to have basis in planning
for a relevant instruction.
Teachers use this assessment to know what their students are bringing into
the learning situation and use this as a starting point, for instruction.
The results of this assessment place students in specific learning groups to
facilitate teaching and learning.
t b. Formative - done during instruction
This assessment is where teachers continuously monitor the students' level
of attainment of the learning objectives (Stiggins, 2005)
The results of this assessment are communicated clearty and promptly to
the students for them to know their strengths and weaknesses and the
progress of their learning.
c. Diagnostic - done during instruction
This is used to determine students recurring or persistent difficulties.
It searches for the underlying causes of students learning problems that do
not respond to first aid treatment.
It helps formulate a plan for detailed remedial instruction.
2. Assessment OF Learning - this is done after instruction. This is usually referred
to as the summative assessment.
it is usedto certify what students know and can do and the level of their
proficiency or competency.
Its results reveal whether or not instructions havesuccessfully achieved,the
curriculum outcomes.
The information from assessment of learning is usually expressed as marks
or letter grades.
. .
The results of which are communicated to the students, parents, and other
stakeholders for decision making.

i. Principle 3: Balance
A balanced assessment sets targets in all domains of learning (cognitive, affective,

and psyebomotof) or domains of Intelligence (verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical,
bodily-kinesthetic, visual-spatial, musical-rhythmic, Intrapersenal-soclal, intrapersonal-lntrospection, physical world-natural, existential-spiritual).
A balanced assessment makes use of both traditional and alternative assessments.
i Principle 4: Validity
Validity - is the degree to which the assessment instrument measures what it intends
to measure. It is also refers to the usefulness of the instrument for a given purpose. It
is the most important criterion of a good assessment instrument.

1. Face Validity - is done by examining the physical appearance of the instrument to

make it readable and understandable.
2. Content Validity - Is done through a careful andcritical examination of the objec

3 . Criterion-related Validity - is established statistically such that a set of scores.

revealed by the measuring instrument is correlated with the scores obtained in

another external predictor or measure. It has two purposes: concurrent and pre
dictive. ;
a. Concurrent validity - describes the present status of the individual by cor
relating the sets of scores obtained from two measures given at a close in
terval
b .. Predictive validity - describes the future performance of an individual by
correlating the sets of scores obtained from two measures given at a longer
time interval.
4. Construct Validity - Is established statistically by comparing psychological traits
or factors that theoretically influence scores in a test.
a. Convergent Validity-is established if the instrument defines another similar
trait other than what it is intended to measure.
E.g. Critical Thinking Test may be correlated with Creative Thinking Test.
b. Divergent Validity - is established if an instrument can describe only the
intended trait and not the other traits.
E.g. Critical Thinking Test may not be correlated with Reading Comprehen

^Principle 6 : Fairness
A fair assessment provides all students with an equal opportunity to demonstrate

achievement The key to fairness are as follows:
*
Students have knowledge of learning targets and assessment.
Students are given equal opportunity to leam.
Students possess the pre-requisite knowledge and skills.
* Students are tree from teacher stereotypes. .
Students are free from biased assessment tasks and procedures.

Principle 7: Practicality and Efficiency
When assessing learning, the information obtained should be worth the resources and
time required to obtain it. The factors to consider are as follows:
Teacher Familiarity with the Method. The teacher should know the
strengths and weaknesses of the method and how to use It.
Time Required. Time Includes construction and use of the instrument and
the interpretation of results. Other things being equal, It Is desirable to
use the shortest assessment time possible that provides valid and reliable
results.
Complexity of the Administration. Directions and procedures for admin
istrations are dear and that little time and effort is needed.
Ease of Scoring. Use scoring procedures appropriate to a method and
purpose. The easier the procedure, the more reliable the assessment Is.
Ease of Interpretation. Interpretation is easier If there Is a plan on how to
use the results prior to assessment.
Cost Other things being equal, the less expense used to gather infor
mation, the tetter.

'PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT
Performance-Based Assessment is a process of gathering information about stu
dent's learning through actual demonstration of essential and observable skills and
creation of products that are grounded in real world contexts and constraints. It is an
assessment that is open to many possible answers and judged using multiple criteria or
standards of excellence that are pre-speclfied and public.
Reasons for Using Performance-Based Assessment
Dissatisfaction of the limited information obtained from selected-response
test.
Influence of cognitive psychology, which demands not only for the learning
of declarative but also for procedural knowledge.
Negative impact of conventional tests e.g., high-stake assessment,
teaching for the test
It isappropriate in experiential, discovery-based, Integrated, and problem-based
teaming approaches.
Types of Performance-based Task
1. Demonstration-type- this is a task that requires no product
Examples: constructing a building, cooking demonstrations, entertaining
tourists, teamwork, presentations
2. Creation-type -th is is a task fliat requires tangible products
Examples: project plan, research paper, project flyers
Methods of Performance-based Assessment
1. Written-open ended - a written prompt is provided
Formats: Essays, open-ended test
2. Behavior-based - utilizes direct observations of behaviors in situations or
simulated contexts
Formats: structured (a .specific focus of observation is set at once) and
unstructured (anything observed is recorded or analyzed)
3. Interview-based - examinees respond in one-to-one conference setting with the
Dr. Marilyn Ubina-B.ilagus and Prof. Anronio G. Dacanay
A ssessm en t a n d E v alu atio n o f L earn in g 1
examiner to demonstrate mastery of the skijls
.
Formats: s&uctured (interview questions are set at once) and unstructured
(interview questions depend on the flow of conversation)
4. Product-based- examinees create,a work sample or a product utilizing the skills/
abilities
Formats: restricted (products of the same objective are the same for all stu
dents) and extended (students vary in their products for the same objective)
5. Portfolio-based - collections of works that are systematically gathered to serve
many purposes
How to Assess a Performance

1. Identity the competency that has to be demonstrated by the students with or
without a product
2. Describe the task to be performed by the students either individually or as a group,
the resources needed, time allotment and other requirements to be able to assess
the focused competency.
7 Criteria in Selecting a Good Performance Assessment Task (Burke, 1999)
Generalizabflity - the likelihood that the students performance on the task
will generalize the comparable tasks.
Authenticity-The task is similar to what the students might encounter in the
real world as. opposed to encountering only in the school.
Multiple Fod - The task measures multiple instructional outcomes.
Teachability - The task allows one to master the skill that one should be
proficient in.
Feasibility - The task Is realistically implementable in relation to its cost,
space, time, and equipment requirements.
Scorability-The task can be reliably and accurately evaluated.
. Fairness-The task is fair to all the students regardless of their social status
or gender.

PORTFOLIOASSESSMENT
Portfolio Assessment is also an alternative to pen-and-paper objective test (t is a pur
poseful, ongoing, dynamic, and collaborative process of gathering multiple indicators of
the learner's growth and development. Portfolio assessment is also perfoimtfice-based
but more authentic than any performance-based task.
Reasons for Using Portfolio Assessment

Burke (1999) actually recognizes portfolio as another type of assessment and is consid
ered authentic because of the following reasons:
It tests what is really happening in the classroom.
It offers multiple indicators of students'progress.
It gives the students the responsibility of their own learning.
It offers opportunities for students to document reflections of their learning.
It demonstrates what the students know in ways that encompass their per
sonal learning styles and multiple intelligences.
It offers teachers new rote in the assessment process.
( alows -teachers to reflect on the effectiveness of their instruction.
It provides teachers freedom of gaining insights into the student's develop
ment or achievement over a period of time.
Principles Underlying Portfolio Assessment

there are three underlying principles of portfolio assessment content, learning, and
equity principles.
1 . Content principle suggests that portfolios should reflect the subject matter that is
important for the students to learn.
2. Learning principle suggests that portfolios should enable the students to become
active and thoughtful learners.
3. JEquity principle explains that portfolios should allow students to demonstrate
their learning styles and multiple intelligences.

DEVELOPING RUBRICS
'
Rubric is a measuring instrument used in rating performance-based tasks, It is the key

to corrections'' for assessment tasks designed to measure the attainment of leaning
competencies that require demonstration of skits or creation of products of learning.
It offers a set of guidelines or descriptions in scoring different levels of performance
or qualities of products of learning. It can be used in scoring both the process and the
products of learning.
Similarity of Rubric with Other Scoring Instruments
Rubric is a modified checklist and rating scale.
1. Checklist
presents the observed characteristics of a desirable performance or product
the rater checks the trait/s that has/have been observed in ones perfor
mance or product.
2. Rating Scale
measures the extent or degree to which a trait has been satisfied by one's
work or performance
offers an overall description of the different levels of quality of a work or a
performance
uses 3 to more levels to describe the work or performance although the
most common rating scales have 4 or 5 performance levels.
Below is a Venn Diagram that shows the graphical comparison of rubric, rating scale
and checklist.

Important Elements of a Rubric

Whether the format is holistic, analytic, or a combination the following information
should be made available In a rubric.
Competency to be tested - This should be a behavior that requires either a
demonstration or creation of products of learning.
Performance TaskTTie task should be authentic, feasible, and has multiple
fed.
* Evaluative Criteria and their Indicators - These should be made clear us
ing observable traits.
* Performance Levels- These levels could vary in number from 3 or more
* Qualitative and Quantitative descriptions of each performance level These descriptions should be observable and measurable.
Guidelines Wien Developing Rubrics
Identify the important and observable features or criteria of an excellent
performance or quality product
Clarify the meaning of each trait or criterion and the performance levels.
Describe the gradations of quality product or excellent performance.
Aim for an even number of levels to avoid the central tendency source of
error.
Keep the number of criteria reasonable enough to be observed or judged.
Arrange the criteria in order in which they will likely to be observed.
Determine the weight /points ofeach criterion and the whole work or per
formance in the final grade.
Put the descriptions of a criterion or a performance level on the same page.
Highlight the distinguishing traits of eaoh performance level.
Check if the rubric encompasses all possible traits of a work.
Check again If the objectives of assessment were captured in the rubric.

;
Prof. Cuevas who Is planning for a remedial instruction after knowing that
students perform poorly in her test
The correct answer is C because assessment is represented by the grade, which
is the result of the collection of data that could be used for. easy judging of stu
dents performance. Option A refers to testing, which is one of the techniques when
assessing learning. Option B refers to measurement because it refers to the quan
tification of data which is like computing the scores obtained in a test. Option 0
refers to evaluation because it involves judgment (i.e. students perform poorly) and
decision making (i.e. planning for remedial instruction).
2. Mr. Fernandez is judging the accuracy of Ihese statements- Which statements will
he consider as correct?
I. Test is a tool to measure a trait
II. Measurement is the process ofquallfying a given trait

The correct answer is D because the first, third and foi/rthareTOTTecfstaternents.

The first describes correctly a test. This is also true to the third statement which
correctly describes assessment. The last sentence is also a correct description
of evaluation. Among the four, it is only the second statement, which is wrong
because measurement is not the process of qualifying but rather quantifying data.
3.- If I have to use the most authentic method of assessment, which of these proce
dures should I consider?
A. Traditional Test
C. Written Test
s'B. Pefformance-based Assessment >
D. Objective Assessment
The correct answer is B because among the four methods presented, it Is only
performance-based assessment that requires actual demonstratfonof skills or cre
ation of products of learning, which simulate what we really need to do in real life.
Options A, C, and D are all pen-and-paper tests which usually require low level
thinking skills only. In real life, what these exams capture could be easily forgotten
after the exam because they are usually just memorized without applications in
real life.
4. After doing the exercise on verbs, Ms. Boritlo gave a short quiz to find out how well
the students have understood the lesson. What type of assessment was done?
A. Summative Assessment
C. Diagnostic Assessment

The correct answer is B, formative assessment, since the purpose of the assess
ment is to find out what the students have understood from the exercises about
the lesson presented in the form of a quiz. The result erf formative assessment
gives immediate feedback about the students' learning for the day. Option A, sumrnative test, covers a broad range of lessons usually In the form of Final Test or

Classification of Tests According Format

I.
Standardized Tests - tests that have been carefully constructed by experts in the
light of accepted objectives.1. Ability Tests-combine verbal and numerical ability, reasoning and computations.
Ex.: OLSAT- Otis Lennon Standardized Ability Test
2. Aptitude Tests - measure potential In a specific field or area; predict the
degree to which an individual will succeed in any given area such art, music,
mechanical task or academic studies.
Ex.: OAT- Differential Aptitude Test
II. Teacher-Made Tests - constructed by classroom teacher which measure and
appraise student progress in terms of specific classroom/instructional objectives.
1 . Objective Type-answers are in the form of a single word or phrase or symbol
a Limited Response Type - requires tie student to select ttie answer from
a given number of alternatives or choices.
I. Multiple Choice Test - consists of a stem each of which presents
three to five alternatives or options in w h ic h only one is correct or
definitely better than the Q ther. The correct option choiceor alternative
in each iterfi is merely called answer and the rest of the alternatives
are called distractprs or decoys or foils,
ii. True - False or Alternative Response - consists of declarative statements that one has to respond or mark true 6 r; false; right or
wrong, correct or incorrect, yes or no, fact or opinion, agree or dis
agree and the. like. It is a test made up of items w h ic h allow dfchoto-
140
PMU L E T Reviewer
tnous responses.
iii. Matching Type - consists of two parallel columns with each word,
' ' number, or symbol in one column being matched to a word sentence,
or phrase in the other column. The items in Column I or A for which a
match is sought are called premises, and the items in Column II or.B
from which the selection is made are called responses,
b. Free Response type or Supply Test- requires the student to supply or
give the correct answer.
i. Short Answer - uses a direct question that can be answered by a
word, phrase, number, or symbol.
ii. Completion Test-consists of an incomplete statement that can also
be answered by a word, phrase, number, or symbol
2. Essay lype- Essay questions provide freedom of response that is needed to
adequately assess students' ability to formulate, organize, integrate and evaluate
ideasand information or apply knowledge and skills.
a. Restricted Essay-lim its both the content and the response. Content is
usually restricted by the scope of the topic to be discussed.
b. Extended Essay - allows the students to select any factual information v
hat they think is pertinent to organize their answers in accordance with *
their best judgment and to integrate and evaluate ideas which they think
appropriate. '
Other Classification of Tests

Psychologlcat Tests - aim to measure students' intangible aspects of
behavior, i.e. intelligence, attitudes, interests and aptitude.
. > Educational Tests - aim to measure the results/effects of instruction.
Survey Tests - measure general level of student's achievement ova- a
broad range of learning outcomes and tend to emphasize norm - referenced
interpretation
Mastery Tests-measure the degree of mastery ol a limited set of specific-,
learning outcomes and typically use criterion referenced interpretations.
D r. Marilyn Uhifu-Baiagt.is and Prof. Antonio G. Dacanay
Verbal Tests -one in which words are very necessary and the examinee
should be equipped with vocabulary in attaching meaning to or responding
to test items.
'
Non -Verbal Tesls1- one in n$ich words are not that important, student
responds to test items in the form of drawings, pictures or designs.
Standardized Tests - constructed by a professional item writer, cover a
large domain of learning tasks with just few items measuring each spe
cific task. Typically items are of average difficulty and omits very easy and
very difficult items, emphasize discrimination among individuals in terms
of relative level of learning.
Teacher-Made-Tests - constructed by a classroom teacher, give focus
on a limited domain of learning tasks with relatively large number of items
measuring each specific task. Matches item difficulty to learning tasks,
without alternating item difficulty or omitting easy or. difficult items, em
phasize description of what learning tasks students cari and cannot do/
perform.
Individual Tests - administered on a one - to - one basis using careful
oral questioning.
Group Test - administered to group of individuals, questions are typically
answered using paper and pencil technique.
Objective Tests - one in which equally competent examinees will get the
(
same scores, e.g. multiple - choice test
Subjective Tests - one in which the scores can be Influenced by the
opinion/judgment of the rater,_e.g. essay test
Power Tests - designed to measure level of performance under sufficient
time conditions, consist of items arranged in order of increasing difficulty.
Speed Teste - designed to measure the number of items an individual
can complete in a give time, consists of items approximately of the same
level-of difficulty.

learning outcomes and aspects of development of students.
Anecdotal Records - method of recording factual description of students'
behavior.
.
'
Effective use of Anecdotal Records
1. Determine in advance what to observe, but be alert for unusual behavior.
2. Analyze observational records for possible sources of bias.
. 3. Observe and record enough.of the situation to make the behavior meaningful.
4. Wake a record of the incident right after observation, as much as possible.

5. Limit each anecdote to a brief description of a single incident.

Keep the factual description of the incident and your interpretation of it, sep
arate.
7. Record both positive and negative behavioral incidents.
8 . Collect a number of anecdotes on a student before drawing inferences con
cerning typical behavior.
9. Obtain practice in writing anecdotal records.
6.
Peer appraisal - is especially useful in assessing personality characteristics,

social relations skills, and other forms of typical behavior. Peer - appraisal
methods include the guess - who technique and the sodometric technique.
Guess* Who Technique - method, used to obtain,peer judgment or peer
ratings requiring students to name their classmates who best fit each of a
series of behavior description, the number of nominations students receive
on each characteristic indicates their reputation in the peer group.
Sodometric Technique - also calls for nominations, but students indicate
their choice of companionsfor some group situation or activity, the number
of choices students receives serves as an Indication of their total social
acceptance.
Self ' repent techniques - used to obtain information that is inaccessible
by other means, including reports on the students attitudes, interests, and
personal feelings.
Attitude scales - used to determine what a student believes, perceives.or
feels: Attitudes can be measured toward self, others, and a variety of other
activities, Institutions, or situations.
Types:
" I.
Rating Scale - measures attitudes toward others or asks an.

individual to rate another individual on a number of behavioral
dimensions on a continuum from gbod to bador excellent to poor;
or on a number of items by selecting the most appropriate response
category along 3 or 5 point scale (e.g., 5-exeellent, 4-above average,
3-average, 2-beiow average, 1-poor)
II. Semantic Differential Scale - asks an individual to give a quantita-
142
PN U L E T Reviewer
tive rating to the subject of the attitude scale'on a number of bipolar

adjectives such as good-bad, friendly-unfriendly etc.
III. Llkert Scale - an assessment instrument which asks an individual
to respond to a series pf statements by indicating whether she/he
strongly agrees (SA), agrees (A), is undecided (U), disagrees (D), or
strongly disagrees (SO) witti each statement Each response is asso
ciated with a point value, and an individual's score is determined by
summing up the point values for each positive statements: SA - 5, A
- 4, U- 3, D - 2, SD - 1 . for negative statements, the point values
would be reversed, that is, SA -1 , A - 2, and so on.
Personality assessments - refer to procedures forassessing emotional adjust
ment Interpersonal relations, motivation, interests, feelings aid attitudes toward
self, others, and a variety of other activities, institutions, and situations.
Interests are preferences for particular activities.
Example of statement on questionnaire: I would rather gook ten write a
letter.
Values concern preferences for life goals* and "yvays of life , in contrast to
Interests, which concern preference for particular activities.
Example: I consider it more important to have people respect me than to
admire me.
Attitude concerns feelings about particular social objects - physical objects,
types of people, particular persons, social institutions, government policies,
and others.
Example: I enjoy solving math problem,

S Personality Inventories
Personality Inventories present lists of questions or statements describ
ing behaviors characteristic erf certain personality traits, and the indi
vidual Is asked to indicate (yes, no, undecided) whether the statement
describes her qr him.

' I t may be specific and measure only one trait, such as introversion
extroversion, or may be general and measures number of traits.

Creativity Tests
characteristics that are related to creative behavior.
One such trait is referred to as divergent thinking. Unlike convergent
thinkers who tend to took for the right answer, divergent thinkers tend
to seek alternatives.
.
Interest Inventories
An interest Inventory asks an individual to indicate personal like, such

as kinds of activities he or she likes to engage in.

Projective Tests
Projective tests were developed in an attempt to eliminate some.of the.
major problems inherent in the use of self - report measures, such
as the tendency of some respondents to give socially acceptable* fesponses. The purposes of such tests are usually not obvious to respondents; the
individual is typically asked to respond to ambiguous items.
The most commonly used projective technique is the method of asso
ciation. This technique asks the respondent to react to a stimulus such
as a picture, inkblot, or word.

General Suggestions for Writing Assessment Tasks and Test items

1. Use assessment specifications as a guide to item/task writing.
2 . Construct more items/tasks than needed.
3 . W rite the items/tasks-ahead of the testing date.
4 . W rite each test item/task at an appropriate reading level and difficulty.
5 . W rite each test item/task in a way that it does not provide help in answering other
test items or tasks.
6. W rite each test item/task so that the task to be performed is clearly defined and it
calls forth the performance described in the intended learning outcome
7. W rite a test item/task whose answer is one that would be agreed upon by the
experts.
6. Whenever a test is revised, recheck its relevance.
Specific Suggestions
A. Supply Type of Test
1. Word the item/s so that the required answer is both brief and specific.
2. Do not take statements directly from textbooks
3. A direct question is generally more desirable than an incomplete statement.
4. If the item is to be expressed in numerical units, indicate the type of answer
wanted.
5. Blanks for answers should be equal in length and as much as possible in
column to the right of the question.
6. When completion items are to be used, do not include too many blanks.
B. Selective Type oTTests

1 . Alternative - Response .
a
Avoid broad, trivial statements and use of negative words especially dou
ble negatives.
b. Avoid long and complex sentences,
.
c. Avoid multiple facts or including two ideas in one statement, unless cause
effect relationship is being measured.
144
PNU L E T Reviewer
d. If opinion is used, attribute'it tosome source unless the ability to identify

opinion is being specifically measured.
e. Use proportional number of true statements and false statements.
f. ' True statements and false statements should be approximately equal in
'
length.
2. Matching Type
a. Use only homogeneous, material in a single matching exercise.
b. Include an unequal number of responses and premises and instruct the
pupil that responses may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
c. Keep the list of items to be matched brief, and place the shorter responses
at the right.
d. Arrange the list of responses in logical order.
e. Indicate In the directions the basis for matching the responses and premises,
. f. Place all the items for one matching exercise on the same page.
g. Limit a matching exercise to not more than 10 to 15 items.
3. Multiple Choice
a. The stem of the item should be meaningful by itself and should present a
definite problem.
b. The item stem should include as much of the item as possible and should
be free of irrelevant material.
c. Use a negatively stated stem only when significant learning outcomes
require it and stress/highlight the negative words for emphasis..
d. All the alternatives should be grammatically consistent with the stem of
the item.
e. An item should only contain one correct or clearly best answer.
f. Items used to measure understanding should contain some novelty, but
not too much.
g. All distracters should be plausible/attractive.
h. Verbal associations between the stem and the correct answer should be
avoided.
, .*
i. The relative length of the alternatives/options should not provide a clue
.to the answer.
.
Dr. Marilyn Ubiria-Bniagcas and P rof. A nton io G . Dacana
Profcssioriiil Education
j. The alternatives should be arranged logically.

. k. The correct answer should appear in each of the alternative positions and
approximately equal number of times but in random order.
I. Use of special alternatives such as none of the above" of all of the above-
should be done sparingly:
m. Always have the stem and alternatives on the same page.
n. Do not use multiple choice items when other types are more appropriate.
4. Essay Type of Test
a. Restrict the use of essay questions to those learning outcomes that cannot
be satisfactorily measured by objective items.
b. Construct questions that will call forth the skills specified in the learning
standards.
c. Phrase each question so that the students task is clearly defined or in
dicated
d. Avoid the use of optional questions.
e. Indicate the approximate time limit or the number of points for each ques
tion.
f. Prepare an outline of the expected answer in advance or scoring rubric.
Qualities/Characteristics Desired in an Assessment Instrument

Major Characteristics
a. Validity - the degree to which a test measures what it is Supposed or intends to measureJt is the usefulness of the test for a given purpose, it is the most
important quality/characteristic desired in an assessment instrument.
b. Reliability - refers to the consistency of measurement; i.e., how consistent
test scores or other assessment results are from one measurement to ahother. It the most important characteristic of an assessment .instsument next
to validity.1

A ssessm en t and E v alu atio n o f L ea rn in g 2
. Minor Characteristics
c. Administrability - The test should be easy to administer such that the di
rections should clearly indicate how a Student should respond to the test/
task items and how much time should be spent for each test item or for this
whole test.
d. Scorability - Tfie test should be easy to score such that directions for scor
ing are clear, point/s for each correct answer(s) is/are specified.
e. Interpretability - Test scores can easily be interpreted and described in
terms of the specific tasks that a student can perform or his/her relative
position in a clearly defined group.
f. Economy - The test should save time and effort spent for its administration
. and that answer sheets must be provided so it can be given from time to time.
Factors Influencing the Validity of an Assessment Instrument
1. Unclear directions. Directions that do not clearly indicate how to respond to
. the tasks and how to record the responses tends to reduce validity.
2. Reading vocabulary and sentence structure are too difficult Vocabulary
aid sentence structure that are too complicated for the students would result
in the assessment of reading comprehension; thus, altering the meaning of
assessment result.
3. Ambiguity. Ambiguous statements in assessment tasks contribute to misin
terpretations and confusion. Ambiguity sometimes confuses the better stu
dents more that it does the poor students.
4. Inadequate time limits. Time limits that do not provide students with enough
time to consider the tasks and provide thoughtful responses can reduce the va
lidity of interpretation of results. Rather than measuring what a student knows
or. able to do in a topic given adequate time, the assessment may become a
measure of the speed with which the student can respond. For some contents
(e.g., a typing test), speed may be important. However, most assessments of
achievement should minimize the effects of speed on student performance.
PNU L E T Reviewer

A ssessm en t and Evaluation o f L e a rn in g 2
5. Overemphasis of easy - to assess aspects of domain at the expense of

important, but hard - to assess aspects (construct underrepresentation).
It is easy to develop test questions that assess factual knowledge or recall and
generally harder to develop ones that tap conceptual understanding or higher
- order thinking processes such as the evaluation of competing positions or
arguments. Hence, it is important to guard against undenrepresentation of
tasks getting at the important, but more difficult to assess aspects of achievement.
6. Test items inappropriate for the outcomes being measured. Attempting
to measure understanding, thinking skills, and other complex types of achieve
ment wth test forms that are appropriate only for measuring factual knowl
edge wli invalidate the results.
7. Poorly constructed test items. Test items that unintentionally provide clues
to the answer tend to measure the students alertness in detecting clues as
well as mastery of skills or knowledge the test is intended to measure.
8. Test too short If a test is too short to provide a representative sample of the
performance we are interested in, its validity will suffer accordingly.
9. Improper arrangement of items. Test items are typically arranged in order
of difficulty, fith the easiest items first. Placing difficult items first in the test
may cause students to spend too much time on these and prevent them from
reaching items they could easily answer. Improper arrangement may also .
influence validity by having a detrimental effect on student motivation.
10. identifiable pattern of answer. Placing correct answers in some systematic
pattern (e.g., T, T, F, F, or B, B, B, C, C, C, D, 0, D) enables students to guess the
answers to some items more easily, and this lowers validity.
- Improving Test Reliability

Several test characteristics affect reliability. They include the following:
1. Test length. In general, a longer test is more reliable than a shorter one be
cause. longer tests sample the instructional objectives more adequately.
2. Spread of scores. The type of students taking the test can influence reliability.
A groupof students with heterogeneous ability will produce a larger spread of
146
PNU L E T Reviewer
test scores than a group with homogeneous ability.

3. Item difficulty. In general, tests composed of items of moderate or average
difficulty (.30 to .70) will have more influence on reliability than those com
posed primarily of easy or very difficult items..
. .
4. Item discrimination. In general, tests composed of more discriminating items
will have greater reliability than those composed of less discriminating items.
5. Time limits. Adding a time factor may improve reliability for lower - level
cognitive test items. Since all students do not function at the same pace, a
time factor adds another criterion to the test that causes discrimination, thus
improving reliability. Teachers should not, however, arbitrarily impose a time
limit. For higher - level cognitive test Items, the imposition of a time limit may
defeat the intended purpose of the items.

GIVING GRADES
Grades are symbols that representa value judgment concerning the relative quality of
a student's achievement during specified period of instruction.
Grades are important to:
inform students and other audiences about student's level of achievement
evaluate the success of an instructional program
provide students access to certain educational or vocational opportunities
reward students who excel
Absolute Standards Grading or Task - Referenced Grading - Grades are assigned
by comparing a student's performanpe to a defined set of standards to be achieved,
targets to be learned, or knowledge to be acquired Students who complete the tasks,
achieve the standards completely, or learn the targets are given the better grades,
regardless of how weil other students perform or whether they have worked up to their
poteofial. #
Relative Standards Grating or Group - Referenced Grading - Grades are assigned

on the basis of student's.performance compared with others in class. Students'performing better than most classmates receive higher grades.

Narrative Report
Guiding Principles for Effective Grading

1. Discuss your grading procedures to students at the very start of instruction.
2. Make clear to students that their grade will be purely based on achievement.
3. Explain how other elements like effort or personal-social behaviors will be
reported.
4. Relate the grading procedures to the intended learning outcomes or goal/
objectives.
5. Get hold of valid evidences like test results, reports presentation, projects and
otherassessments, as bases for computation and assigning grades.
6. Take precautions to prevent cheating on test and other assessment measures.
7. Return all tests and other assessment results, as soon as possible.
.
.
8. Assign weight to flie various types of achievement included in the grade.
9. Tardiness, weak effort, or misbehavior should not be charged against achieve
ment grade of student.
10. Be judicious/falr and avoid bias but when in doubt (in case of borderline student)
review the evidence. If still in doubt, assign the higher grade..
11. Grades are black and white, as a rule, do not change grades.
12. Keep pupils informed of their class standing or performance.

CONDUCTING PARENT - TEACHER CONFERENCES

.The following points provide helpful reminders when preparing for and conducting
parent-teacherconferences.
1. Make plans for the conference. Set the goals and objectives of the conference
ahead of time.
2. Begin the conference in a positive manner. Starting the conference by making
a positive statement about the student sets the tone for the meeting.
3. Present the student's strong points before describing the areas needing
Improvement. It is helpful to present examples of the students work when
discussing Ihe student's performance.
4. Encourage parents to participate and share information. Although as a
teacher you are in fcharge of the conference, you must be willing to listen to
parents and share information rather than "talk at them.
5. Plan a course of action cooperatively. The discussion should lead to what
steps can be taken by the teacher and the parent to help the student.
6. End the conference with a positive comment At the end of the conference,
thank the- parents for coming and say something positive about the student, like
Erfc has a good sense of humor and I enjoy having him In class."
7. Use good human relation skills during the conference. Some of these skills
can be summarized by following the dos and donts.

A. Median is higher than the Mode.
6. Mean is higher than the Median.
C. Mean is lower than the Mode.
D. Mean is not lower than the Mode.
The correct answer Is C since what is asked is not true about positively skewed
distribution. Option A Is true about positively skewed distribution, that is median
is greater than the mode. Option 8 is also true, mean is greater than the median.
Option D is also true, that mean is greater than the mode.
2. Which of the following questions indicate a norm - referenced interpretation?
A. How does the pupils' test performance in our school compare with that of
other schools?
B. How does a pupil's test performance in reading and mathematics compare?
C. What type or remedial work will be most helpful for a slow - learning pupil?
D. Which pupils have achieved mastery of computational skiHs?
The correct answer is A because the performance of the pupils in the test is
compared with othef schools. Option 8 is wrong because what is being compared
. is the pupil's performance In reading and math. Option C is wrong there is no men
tion of one's performance compared with others. Option D is also wrong because
what is implied is the pupils' achievement or mastery in relation to the domain of

A Global Contexts of Education
1. Different Conceptions of Globalization
Globalization as a process (or set of processes) which embodies a
' transformation in the'spSfial organization of social relations and trans
actions, expressed in transcontinental or interregional flows and net
works of activity, interaction and power (Held and McGrew, et al, 1999)
Globalization are processes of change which underpin a transformation
in the organization of human affairs by linking together and expanding
human activity across regions and continents" (Held, McGrew, Goldblatt, Perraton, 1999:15).
Globalization is evident In the following situations/conditions:
a) the evolution of global systems of communication and
transportation
b) the technological advancement of internet and telecommu
nications
c) the Incorporation of local, regional, and national economies
into a worldwide global economy
d) an increase in Interaction between societies, resulting in
global culture, which exists along with an array of distinctive
local, national, and regional cultures;
e) the emergence of a world-wide international system that is
eroding the traditional boundaries between domestic and
international politics;
0 the increasing impact of human activity upon the planet's
ecosystem, and the increasing constraints on human activity _

Inclusive Education-education based on theright of all (earners to quality
education that meets basic learning needs and enriches lives. Focusing
particularly on vulnerable and marginalized groups, it seeks to develop the
full potential of every individual. The ultimate goal is to end all forms of
discrimination and foster social cohesion. (UNESCO)
An inclusive curriculum treats the knowledge and experience of women,
racial groups and ethnic groups as being just as valid and relevant as the
knowledge of dominant groups in mainstream academic discourse
Alternative Education - non-traditional type of approach to education
based on the belief that there'are fnany varied pathways to become edu' ca'ted in many types of educational environments and sejtings, and utilizing
different, variety of structures.

c^l^fc|rfflrp<aitidaldevelopimept. parity and equity are the building blocks df eqiiali^ In education.
B. THE MULTIPLE DIMENSIONS OF GENDER EQUALITY IN EDUCATION
There are.four main dimensions of gender equality:
1) Equality of access means that girls and boys are offered equitable
opportunities to gain admission to formal, non-forma!, or alternative
approaches to basic education. Actual attendance, rattier than en
rollment, is a better indicator of whether access has been achieved.
2) Equality in the learning process means that girls and boys receive equitable treatment and attention and have equal opportunities to leam.
This means that girls and boys are exposed to the same curricula,
although the courseworkmay be taught differently to accommodate
the different learning styles of girls and boys. Equality in the learning
process also means that ail learners should be exposed to teaching
methods and materials that are free of stereotypes and gender bias.
In addition, it means that boys and girls should have the freedom to
leam, explore, and develop skills in all academic and extracurricular
offerings.
3) Equality of educational outcomes means that girts and boys enjoy
equal opportunities to achieve and outcomes are based on tfieir in
dividual talents and efforts. To ensure fair chances for achievement,
the length of school careers, academic qualifications, and diplomas
should not differ based on a person's sex. Mechanisms for evaluating
indiwjuarachievement should also be free of any gender bias.
4) Equality of external results occurs when the status of men and women,
their access to goods and resources, and their ability to contribute to,
participate In, and benefit from economic, social, cultural, and political
activities are equal. This implies that career opportunities, the* time
186
PNU L'ET Reviewer
needed to secure employment after leaving full-time education, and

the earnings of men and women with similar qualifications and
experience are equal.
The four dimensions of gender equality are related, but that relationship is com
plex and not necessarily linear. Parity in enrollment and greater gender equality
in schooling can, and often do, coexist with inequalities outside of education.
V. MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION
A. Multicultural education defined:
"Multicultural education is a field of study and an emerging discipline whose
major aim Is to create equal educational opportunities for students from diverse
racial, ethnic, social-class, and cultural groups. One of its important goals is
to help all students to acquire the knowledge, attitudes,- and skills needed to
function effectively in a pluralistic democratic society and to interact, negotiate,
m l communicate with peoples from diverse groups in order to create a civic
and moral community that works for the common good."
Mutticuituratism is a philosophy that recognizes ethnic diversitywithin a society
and that encourages others to be enlightened by worthwhile contributions to
society by those of diverse ethnic backgrounds. Liberal multicuituralism focuses
on cultural diversity, celebrating ethnic variety, and teaching tolerance. It as
sumes the existence of pre-existing cultures, which reiate to, and interact with,
each other, but does not examine the hierarchies of power underpinning these
interactions. This approach has been criticized for Disneyfying, commodifying,
and depoliticizing difference (Mitchell, Antipode 25),
Critical mufficufturaiism sees multiculturalisip as concerning 'majorities'- as
much as 'minorities', and is concerned .with the institutions and practices
forming the whole society. It sees inequalities of power, and racism, as central,
emphasizes recognition and rights, and advocates the multiculturalization' of
society (Jackson, Geography 87).
Schools are expected to serve the human needs of cultural socialization, trans
mission, and self perpetuation, and teach academic skills. Every action that they
Prof. Arthur S. Abulcncisi and Prof. Rita Bumanglag-Ruscct:
take is, unavoidably,' culture_bound. Effective understanding of the educational

process in a pluralistic society requires that teaching and learning be viewed as
aspects of various cultural .milieus (Kimball, 1978).
B. Benefits of the global perspective of multicultural education:
1). Multicultural education increases productivity because a variety of
mental resources are available for completing the same tasks and it
promotes cognitive and moral growth among all people.
2) Multicultural education increases creative problem-solving skills
through the different perspectives applied to same problems to reach
solutions.
3) Multicultural education increases positive relationships through
achievement of
4) common goals, respect, appreciation, and commitment to equality
among the intellectuals and students.
5) Multicultural education decreases stereotyping and prejudice through
direct contact and interaction among diverse Individuals.
6) Multicultural education renews vitality of society through the richness
of the different cultures, of its members and fosters development of a
broader and more sophisticated view of the world.
VI. THE FOUR PILLARS OF EDUCATION

and critical way. It is 'a process of discovery', which taKfestime and invotes

Learning to kpow involves mastering the instrument of knowing and under

standing:
.
s to leam to learn and to discover '
v' to understand about his/her environment
s to think in a coherent and critical way
s to acquire a knowledge of the scientific method and instruments
/ to develop a scientific spirit and an inquiring mind
s to acquire independence of judgment
Learning to do - implies application of what learners have learned or
known into practices; It is closely linked to vocational-technical education
and work skills training. The function of learning is no longer limited to work
but responds to participation in development; a matter of social as well as
of occupational skills. .
It calls for new types of skills which is more behavioral than intellectual.
Learning to do thus implies a shift from skill to competence, or a mix of
higher-order skills specific to each individual. Thus 'learning to do' means,
among other things:
s ability to communicate effectively with others
s aptitude toward team work
s social skills in buildng meaningful interpersonal relations
adaptability to change in the world of work and in social life
J competency in transforming knowledge into innovations and
job-creation
s readiness to take risks and resolve or manage conflicts.
Learning to flve togettter - implies an education that emphasizes discovery
of others and experience of shared purposes throughout life. Specifically, it
implies the development of such qualities as:
s knowledge and understanding of self and others
s appreciation of the diversity of the human race and an aware
ness of the similarities between, and the interdependence of all
humans
J empathy and cooperative social beljavior in caring and sharing
s respect of other people and their cultures and value systems
PNU LET Reviewer
capability of encountering others, and resolving conflicts through

dialogue
s competency in worlting towards common objectives.
Learning to be - is based on the principle that the aim of development is
the complete fulfillment of man, in all the richness of his personality, the
complexity or his forms of expression and his various commitments - as
individual, member of a family and of a community, citizen and producer,
inventor of techniques and creative dreamer. 'Learning to be' may be
interpreted in one way as learning to be human, through acquisition of
knowledge, skills and values conducive to personalty development in its
intellectual, moral, cultural and physical dimensions. Its purpose includes:
' s to be human, for development of mind and body, intelligence,
sensitivity, aesthetic sense, personal responsibility and spiritual
values
. to develop the qualities of imagination and creativity
s the complete fulfillment of man, in all the richness of his per
sonality
^ the full flowering of human potential, the tapping of the hidden
treasure within each individual
s a very individualized process and at the same time one of con
structing social interactions.
B. The Four Pillars of Education and their Implications to Teaching Learning and the Curriculum
The four pillars of learning relate to all phases and areas of education. They
support and interpenetrate one another and should therefore be applied as ba
sic principles, cross-cutting themes and generic competencies tor integration in
and across subject areas or learning domains.
Pillars of Learning for Reorienting Curriculum Objectives
1) Learning to be
.
s reflects a shift from an instrumental view of education, as a
process one submits to achieve specific aims (e.g. economic
. productivity) to a humanistic view of education that emphasizes
ntiirrrrmr*~rn irir^ ^
-.-r .. '
Prof. Arrhu&S. Abulcncia and Prof. Rica Bumangiag-Pvusco.-
the development of the complete person' (Delors, p.86).

implies an education aimed at ail-rounded development and
full flowering of the human potential of individual learners. Thus
school curriculum should be more balanced, taking into account
not only the cognitive- intellectual dimension of personality but
its spiritual, moral, social skills and values aspects.
* Implies development of a curriculum which aims at cultivat
ing qualities of imagination and creativity; acquiring universally
shared human values; developing aspects of a person's poten
tial: memory, reasoning, aesthetic sense, physical capacity and
communication/social skills; developing critical thinking and ex
ercising independent judgment; and developing personal com
mitment and responsibility
2) Learning to Live Together
J stresses an important educational goal of contributing to so
cial cohesion, inter -cultural and inter-national understanding,
peaceful Interchange, and harmony, it Implies a radically new
curriculum domain, in which relevant knowledge and a range
of skills and values should be taught and caught to resolve and
manage conflicts for peace in famiV, at school, in community
and in the world at large.
3) Learning to Leam
v' implies shift from 'schooling' to learning throughout life and
that school education is only part or a phase of the learning continuum; curriculum should therefore not attempt to 'teach' or
cram the young minds with discipline-based details, apart from
the fundamental knowledge, basic skills and universal values
which will prepare thd pupils for further learning.
4) Learning to do
/ Emphasizes closer Mcage between education and the world

of work. One central function of education is to prepare young
learners to be successful workers and responsible citizens in
their adulthood..
