What are DepEd Periodical Tests?

Periodical tests by the Department of Education (DepEd) are seen as essential tools for measuring students’ learning progress and development during the school year. These exams are used not only to test how well students remember information but also to assess their understanding, critical thinking and application of skills in different scenarios. Through these tests, feedback is provided promptly which allows both teachers and students to recognize strengths and pinpoint areas for improvement. As a result, adjustments in teaching strategies can be made and students are encouraged to actively improve their learning, creating a steady and ongoing learning environment.

Classroom Assessments

Classroom assessment are also employed to support student achievement in assessments. These allow for learning checks between standard discussions and major assignments like essays. For example, teachers may introduce a brief, ungraded activity shortly after a lecture and before a graded assignment. Such assessments are intended to help students practice integrating ideas, reinforce lessons and prepare for future evaluations. They serve as checkpoints for both students and teachers making it easier to address misunderstandings early and adjust the course as necessary.

Planning these assessments can be challenging for teachers especially when determining the scope. Often, teachers may aim to assess elements that a single session cannot adequately cover. To address this, teachers are advised to start with simple assessments and gradually expand them over time. An effective classroom assessment should have clear goals, fit well within ongoing lessons and employ reliable feedback methods. Teachers are encouraged to consider time constraints, desired outcomes and minimum acceptable results in their planning. By doing so, they ensure they effectively support student learning and complement regular classwork.
