Skills of Filipino Teachers in Choosing Academic Evaluation

This research is titled “Skills of Filipino Teachers in Choosing Academic Evaluation.” Its aim is to present the level of skills of Filipino teachers in selecting assessment methods for evaluating students based on the selected competencies for the first year of high school. From this, an academic evaluation framework can be developed that is suitable for each domain of learning. The study used a qualitative and quantitative design, a descriptive method, and an evaluative approach to clearly present the essential findings of the study. Simple random sampling was applied in selecting the competencies. Meanwhile, the researcher developed a questionnaire to collect data. The dynamic assessment theory was used throughout the study to interpret how teachers approach assessment methods for evaluating students. The study found that 82% of teachers selected cognitive assessments for cognitive competencies, while the remaining 18% chose psychomotor assessments for cognitive competencies. In the affective domain, the study revealed that 50% of teachers selected psychomotor assessments for affective competencies, 25% chose affective assessments, and another 25% selected cognitive assessments for affective competencies. Finally, in the psychomotor domain, 50% of teachers chose psychomotor assessments for psychomotor competencies, 17% selected affective assessments, and 33% chose cognitive assessments for psychomotor competencies. It can also be noted that teachers have a high level of skill in choosing assessments for the cognitive domain, a low level of skill in the affective domain, and an adequate level of skill in the psychomotor domain. Based on these findings, an academic evaluation framework was also developed for the affective domain.
