The DepEd Quarterly Assessment is a key component of the summative assessment system under the K to 12 Basic Education Program, guided by DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015. Here's a clear explanation:
π What is DepEd's Quarterly Assessment?
The Quarterly Assessment is a formal evaluation conducted at the end of each quarter to measure how well learners have mastered the competencies taught during that period.
π§© Purpose:
- To synthesize learning from the entire quarter.
- To assess knowledge, skills, and values across subjects.
- To inform grading, instructional adjustments, and learner progress.
π§ͺ Assessment Types:
Quarterly assessments may include:
- Objective tests (multiple choice, matching type, etc.)
- Performance-based tasks (projects, presentations, experiments)
- PISA-like assessments (problem-solving, critical thinking tasks)
π Grading Components:
Quarterly Assessment is one of the three components of summative assessment:
- Written Works – quizzes, tests, worksheets
- Performance Tasks – projects, experiments, presentations
- Quarterly Assessment – final exam for the quarter
Each component contributes to the quarterly grade based on a prescribed weight per learning area and grade level.
