What is the DepEd 3rd Periodical Tests?

The DepEd 3rd Periodical Test is an important evaluation given during the third quarter of the school year in the Philippines. It helps assess students’ understanding of the subjects taught up to that point. The test is designed to give teachers insight into students’ progress and highlight areas where improvement is needed. Like effective lesson planning, the test needs to focus on both broad and specific curricular aims to measure a range of skills and knowledge. See GRADE 3 Matatag – 3rd Periodical Tests.

The idea of unitary measurability is key when designing assessments like the DepEd 3rd Periodical Test. For example, having students write a persuasive essay doesn’t only test their ability to argue. It also assesses their skills in grammar, spelling, punctuation and word choice all at once. This approach enables teachers to evaluate multiple subskills through a single task, making the assessment more efficient. In lesson planning, teachers can use similar methods by creating activities that test several competencies at the same time.

On the other hand, if the test involves separate questions for each subskill, it loses unitary measurability. For instance, assessing Geometry through different tests for congruence, similarity, circles, equations and measurement breaks the broader goal into parts which makes it harder to evaluate students’ overall mastery. Instead, it’s better to develop tasks that combine these components into a unified test for a more accurate assessment.

The DepEd 3rd Periodical Test underscores the need for assessments to align with the goals of the curriculum. Teachers should plan their lessons to lead up to broad, important objectives. For instance, in language arts, a larger goal like writing an analytical essay could include smaller objectives like using context clues or ensuring subject-verb agreement. This way, lessons are structured to help students develop the necessary skills for both short-term tasks and long-term goals.

Applying these principles, teachers can ensure that the DepEd 3rd Periodical Test measures the most important aspects of student learning, reflecting their overall achievement of the curriculum’s objectives.
