Last August 15, CKS College sent two representatives, Gian Patrik Renejane and Johanna Pauline Lamzon, both from the BSE Teaching Chinese Language program, to attend a seminar on “The K-12 Assessment Framework (1-Day Pre-service Training)” which was held at The Pearl Hotel in Ermita.
Dr. Carlo Magno, President of the Philippine Educational Measurement and Evaluation Association was the resource speaker. He started the said seminar with administering a diagnostic test to determine the prior knowledge of the participants on assessment in the form of a short essay, then, it was followed by a question-and-answer type of discussion concerning assessment and evaluation, and on correcting some common misconceptions thereof.
Relevant topics such as the Seven Principles of Assessment, Learning Competencies, Lev Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development, and Types of Assessment were also tackled. In the afternoon, a workshop was conducted in which all schools were asked to formulate ten exam questions that should be aligned with the given learning competencies, and present them onstage to be critiqued and assessed by Dr. Magno. The seminar ended with volunteer students sharing their insights about the morning’s discussion, and the distribution of certificates of participation.
