GRADE 5 MATATAG – 2nd Periodical Tests – All Subjects with TOS | SY 2024-2025

What are DepEd Periodical Tests?

Periodical tests are designed to assess students’ understanding of course material. However, heavy reliance on these tests as the main assessment tool can reduce their effectiveness. Since these tests serve as final, summative evaluations, they often miss the chance to provide ongoing feedback that could help both students and teachers address any learning gaps before the term ends. This approach may not give a complete picture of a student’s learning progress or the success of teaching methods used. Instead, it can place more focus on test results rather than on continuous learning potentially narrowing education to what is expected on the test. See GRADE 5 MATATAG – 2nd Periodical Tests.

Classroom Assessments

To enhance the value of classroom assessments, they should be viewed not only as final evaluations but as tools for gathering useful feedback. When assessment results are carefully analyzed, a better understanding of student progress and areas needing improvement is gained. Teachers are encouraged to ask key questions to make the most of feedback: Are the results reflective of students meeting learning goals? If there are challenges in performance, are they due to teaching methods, student skills or other factors? By exploring these questions, teachers can adjust their teaching strategies or modify lesson plans as needed.

Sharing assessment results with students can also support learning, as it allows teachers to explain their interpretations and planned responses. In some cases, feedback may confirm that successful teaching methods are in place, strengthening effective practices. When assessment results are used this way, a more adaptive and supportive learning environment is fostered. This approach not only meets academic goals but also encourages growth in students’ cognitive abilities, creating a more engaging and meaningful learning experience beyond the confines of standardized testing.
