SECTION 1 System of Program Assessment
SECTION 1 System of Program Assessment
The St. Peter’s College is one higher education institution which envisions itself as a
leader of excellence in teacher education, building up and enhancing quality of life in
humane society, through the College of Education. Its mission is to produce caring
professional teachers who are competent, upright, committed, and dedicated ready to
teach diverse learners in a diversified community.
As a PACUCUA accredited school, this recognition holds several benefits for St. Peter’s
College. Employing program assessment and evaluation helps the institution identify
areas for improvement, allocate resources effectively, and provide reliable information to
society and prospective employees about the quality of education offered. It's a crucial
step toward maintaining high standards in higher education. To realize these, the school
administration is continually assessing school needs to address the academic and
physical needs of the college.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights emphasizes that “All human beings are born
free and equal in dignity and rights,” and that “Education shall be directed to the full
development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human
rights and fundamental freedoms.” Many of the deepest problems in current systems of
education result from losing sight of this basic principle.
Suffice it to say that education matters. Studies have shown that those who are more
educated are more likely to live longer, live healthier lives, and are even more likely to
help strangers. Investing in various types of education from the time children are young
ensures that they have a strong foundation and that the whole person is being educated.
The more diverse and well-rounded we can make education for children, the better
educated they will be.
At St. Peter’s College, the College of Education adheres to the mandates of CHED’s
Manual of Regulations for Private Higher Education ( MORPHE, 2008) and the CMO
74, s. 2017, particularly for Bachelor of Elementary Education.
ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION
A. Assessment
For the First Year to Third Year BEED students, their performance assessments, such as
reports, papers, presentations, and projects, allow students to demonstrate mastery of
required competencies as stated in the program outcomes. These assessments and
evaluation methods help determine readiness for authentic teaching experiences.
The BEED Program assessment and evaluation provides faculty and staff with a data-
driven discussion on various aspects of the program, including:
The SPC CED-BEEd program aims to prepare highly motivated and competent teachers
for the elementary level. Graduates from this program should be able to practice the
teaching profession effectively. The curriculum covers content and pedagogy related to
elementary education, including subjects like Mathematics, English, Science, and more.
Assessment and evaluation play a crucial role in ensuring the program’s quality and
continuous improvement.
In summary, program assessment and evaluation are essential for maintaining program
quality, adapting to changing needs, and ensuring effective teacher preparation. St.
Peter’s College recognizes the significance of these processes in shaping competent
educators for the elementary level.
At CED different assessment tools and methods to assess the program Bachelor in
Elementary Education are utilized. Among these are rubrics, rating scales, checklists,
oral reporting, mini demo-teaching, reflection papers, mini-research, aside from the
usual paper and pen exams. Through these, different levels of student competencies
and abilities are developed.
Checklists, rating scales and rubrics are tools that state specific criteria and allow
teachers and students to gather information and to make judgements about what
students know and can do in relation to the outcomes. They offer systematic ways of
collecting data about specific behaviors, knowledge and skills.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION PER CMO 74, S. 2017
Graduates will become successful educators in all primary and intermediate elementary
subjects, initiate and undertake research relevant in secondary teacher education and
allied fields, and develop quality instructional materials that help enhance the teaching-
learning process. Ultimately, they will become productive citizens of the municipality, who
put God at the center of their lives and continuously pursue excellence and innovation.
o Start by reviewing the course’s learning objectives and goals. These are
the outcomes we want students to achieve.
o Ensure alignment with program and institutional learning outcomes.
o Appropriate tools must be chosen that suit the assessment type (e.g.,
rubrics, self-assessments, peer evaluations).
o Consider technology-based tools for efficiency and scalability. A projector is
one big help and also TV screens.
o Gadgets such as mobile phones can be utilized in class when looking up
for vocabulary or online assessments.
5. Feedback Strategy:
o We determine how to provide feedback to students.
o Consider formative feedback during the learning process and summative
feedback at the end of assessments
SECTION 3: PROGRAM VISION, MISSION AND OBJECTIVES
College Vision :
College Mission:
To produce caring professional teachers who are competent, upright, committed, and
dedicated ready to teach diverse learners in a diversified community.
College Objectives :
1. Provide future teachers with high quality instruction anchored on the 21st Century
teaching.
College Goals :
The College of Education is tasked to develop professional educators and train future
teachers who are competent, caring, confident, committed and would contribute to the
development of the community through education by:
Learning outcomes are statements of the knowledge, skills and abilities that individual
students should possess and can demonstrate upon completion of a learning experience
or sequence of learning experiences. There are several factors to consider when
drafting
student learning outcomes.
3. Learning outcomes should use active verbs in the future tense. It is important that
outcomes be stated in the future tense in terms of what students should be able
to do as a result of instruction. For example, the learning outcome “Students have
demonstrated proficiency in…” is stated in terms of students’ actual performance
instead of what they will be able to accomplish upon completion of the program.
4. Learning outcomes should also be active and observable so that they can be
measured. For example, outcomes like “Students will develop an appreciation of,
and will be exposed to…” are latent terms that will be difficult to quantify.
7. Learning outcomes should align with the program’s curriculum. This is critical in
the interpretation of assessment results in terms of where changes in instruction
should be made. Using curriculum mapping is one way to ensure that learning
outcomes align with the curriculum. A curriculum map is a matrix in which learning
outcomes are plotted against specific program courses. Learning outcomes are
listed in the rows and courses in the columns. This matrix helps clarify the
relationship between what are assessed at the program level and what you are
teaching in your courses.
8. Learning outcomes should be simple and not compound stated clear and simple.
Avoid the use of bundled or compound statements that join the elements of two or
more outcomes into one statement.
9. Learning outcomes should focus on learning products and not the learning
process, should be stated in terms of expected student performance and not on
what faculty intend to do during instruction, focus should be on the students and
what they should be able to demonstrate or produce upon completion of the
program.

the outcomes
Herein is shown the previous and current version of Bloom’s taxonomy of objectives
widely used in the educational sector, from the basic education to the tertiary level.
A. Cognitive Level
Bloom’s Taxonomy can help instructors craft clear, actionable learning objectives.
Clear, actionable learning objectives help students understand the skills and
knowledge they will gain during the course.
Bloom’s Taxonomy can help instructors appropriately align instruction to the
learning objectives, including the planning of learning activities and the delivery
of instructional materials (Raths 2002).
Bloom’s taxonomy helps instructors create valid and reliable assessments by
aligning course learning objectives to any given level of student understanding or
proficiency. Crooks (1998) suggests that much of college assessment involves
recalling memorized facts, which only addresses the first level of learning.
However, Bloom’s Taxonomy aids instructors in creating assessments that
address all six levels of the cognitive domain.
Bloom’s Taxonomy has been shown to enhance students’ higher-order thinking skills,
such as critical thinking. Bissell and Lemons (2006) used Bloom’s Taxonomy to assess
critical-thinking skills in an introductory biology course. They developed a process by
which they prepared questions with both content and critical-thinking skills in mind, and
prepared grading rubrics that specified how to evaluate both the content and critical-
thinking aspects of an answer. Using this methodology helped Bissell and Lemons clarify
the course goals (for instructors and students), improve student metacognition, and
expose student misconceptions about the course content.
1. Select the domain (cognitive, affective, or psychomotor) for the learning objective
you want to design.
2. Determine at what complexity level you want students to demonstrate their
learning.
3. Select an action verb that is aligned to the domain level that you want students to
demonstrate.
Consult the tables below to view action verbs that align with each level of the cognitive,
affective, and psychomotor domains, as well as examples for each of the levels.
Cognitive domain
This domain is focused on intellectual skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving,
and creating a knowledge base. The cognitive hierarchy consists of six levels, which
span from simple memorization designed to build the knowledge of learners, to creating
something new based on previously-learned information.

world setting.
Create: Can students produce new knowledge, a new product, or a new point of

Affective domain
The affective domain focuses on a student’s attitudes, values, and interests. Composed
of five levels, this domain begins with receiving and listening to information, and extends
to characterization, or internalizing values and consistently acting upon these values.

Assessment
The word “assessment” has taken on a variety of meanings within higher education. The
term can refer to the process faculty use to grade student course assignments, to
standardized testing imposed on institutions as part of increased pressure for external
accountability, or to any activity designed to collect information on the success of a
program, course, or University curriculum. These varied uses have, unfortunately,
moved us away from a focus on the central role that assessment should play in
educational institutions – the gathering of information to improve institutional practices.
If assessment drives learning., then how we assess learners becomes a major force in
ensuring that learners are prepared for the next stage of training by driving the studying
they do and by providing feedback on their learning.
Assessment methods
To effectively evaluate whether your students meet a subject's learning outcomes, you
need to choose an appropriate assessment method. Different assessment methods
allow you to assess different skills. For example, while one method may ask students to
demonstrate analytical skills, another may focus on collaboration. The method of
assessment chosen will then inform the selection of an appropriate task.
Considering these three aspects puts the student and their learning at the centre of
learning design.
2. The evidence you collect depends on the questions you want to answer. In thinking
about program assessment, four questions come to mind: -Does the program meet
or exceed certain standards? How does the program compare to others? Does the
program do a good job at what it sets out to do? How can the program experience
be improved? adapted from Volkwein, J., Program evaluation
3. Use multiple methods to assess each learning outcome. Many outcomes will be
difficult to assess using only one measure. The advantages to using more than one
7. Choose assessment methods that allow you to assess the strengths and
weaknesses of the program. Effective methods of assessment provide both
positive and negative feedback. Finding out what is working well is only one goal of
program assessment.
11. Use capstone courses or senior assignments to directly assess student learning
outcomes. Capstone courses and senior assignments promote faculty student
interaction and scholarly inquiry; they allow demonstration of academic breadth;
and they allow demonstration of ability to synthesize and integrate knowledge and
experiences.
12. Enlist the assistance of assessment and testing specialists when you plan to
create, adapt, or revise assessment instruments
