A. Review for Mastery
1. What are learning outcomes?
• Rom what I have learned, learning outcomes are measurable abilities, knowledge and achievements that the learner will be able to adopt or acquired after the learning process. It is also derived from the institution’s vision and mission.
2. State the sources of learning outcomes.
• The institution’s vision and mission statements.
• Policies and competencies and standard issued by government education agencies such as the Department of Education (Deped), Technical Education and skills development Authority (TESDA) and the commission on Higher Education (CHED).
3. Why must the needs of industry be considered in the formulation of learning outcomes? What are the good characteristics of learning outcomes? Explain each.
• Good learning outcomes are centered on the student learner. The learning outcomes describe very clearly what the learner is expected to know.
• Good learning outcomes are based on the aligned with the institutional, program and course outcome. It is in aligning learning outcomes with institutional outcomes that educational institutions realize their intended institutional outcomes.
• Good learning outcomes are based on and aligned with local, national and international trends and issues. What is taught is relevant to the needs of industry and is in keeping with local, national and international trends known.
• Good learning outcomes are known and are very well understood by both students and faculty. Some teachers have the commendable practice of writing the learning outcome on the board.
• Good learning outcomes include a spectrum of thinking skills from simple remembering to creating or from the lowest and simplest cognitive,
4. How do you determine if a given learning outcome is good or not?
• In order to determine whether the given learning outcome is good, it should be SMART Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Result – oriented and Time-Bound. By considering these, educators can evaluate the quality of learning outcomes and ensure that they effectively guide teaching and learning processes while supporting student success and achievement.
b. Are the program outcomes for teacher education parallel to the PPST? Is there a one-on-one correspondence? Explain your findings.
For me, it is somewhat the same to PPST, however there’s still a difference while the teacher education program outcomes outline the principle and competencies. On the other hand PPST outline the standards for professional teacher here in the Philippines.
2. Consider the uniqueness of educational institutions, should learning outcomes be limited only to those issued by CHEd? Explain your answer.
For me, no, learning outcomes should not be limited only to those issued by CHED. Educational institutions should have the flexibility to develop their own learning outcomes that align with their unique mission, vision, and goals, as well as the needs of their students and communities.
4. “Teach to the individual, not to the curriculum.” What does this quote imply about a good learning outcome?
This quote implies that every student is unique and no students are dispensable. Each person has valuable potential to offer society. Effective teaching should be responsive to the unique needs, interests, and abilities of each student, rather than solely adhering to a predetermined curriculum.
5. Formulate at least one multiple-choice test item aligned with any of the learning outcomes of this Chapter. Explain how the question/s you have made is/are aligned with any of the learning outcomes.
Which of the following sentences demonstrates the correct use of the verb tense?
A) She will goes to the store after school.
B) They is going to the beach tomorrow.
C) He has eaten lunch already.
D) We have went to the park yesterday.
Correct Answer: C) He has eaten lunch already.
This question corresponds to the learning outcome connected to verb tense usage. Students must select the proper sentence from four presented sentences, each with a different verb tense. Option C, “He has already eaten lunch,” appropriately employs the present perfect tense to represent an action that occurred in the past but is still relevant in the present. The other alternatives include faults in verb tense agreement, which serve as distractions to measure students’ comprehension of verb tense regulations.
