14. Self-check
The ff. situations refer to the concepts of
curriculum, instruction and assessment
Answer YES or NO before each number.
1.) At the beginning of the lesson, the teacher set
an objective to identify the different animals in
the garden. On the day, the lesson was taught,
the teacher brought all the children to the school
garden to observe and list down all the animals
that they saw. In this situation, did the objective
fit the activity?

15. 2.) At the end of the year, an achievement test was
given. It covered all the knowledge, content and
skills in the list of competencies for the particular
grade level. Did the assessment fit the objectives?
3.) The curriculum provided most activities that
require outdoors or fieldwork. When the
achievement test was given, a practical test was
given. Did the assessment method match with
the activities or instruction?

16. 4.) The teacher wanted to accomplish a learning
objective that would enable the students to
write a simple letter of excuse. After the
lesson each students was made to submit a
letter or excuse and a rubric was use to rate
each. Was the assessment appropriate for the
objective?

17. 5.) I taught a lesson on the advantages of using
organic fertilizer on the plants. When I gave
the test, the items asked were all about
inorganic fertilizers. Was there a fit between
the content and the assessment.
