Development of Affective Learning Assessment Package for the Enhanced Basic Education Curriculum

The study aimed to develop affective learning package in the enhanced basic education curriculum of Bicol University College of Education. Further, this employed descriptive-developmental research to attain the following objectives: assess the extent of evidence of affective learning assessment in the learning plans, develop affective learning assessment tools, validate the developed affective learning assessment tools. Through this study, affective assessment tools were developed and subsequently validated. These are a completion self-report, a teacher observation scale and a selection type self-report. Based on the findings, there is a need to incorporate affective learning outcomes more explicitly in the enhanced basic education subjects and to design activities and assessments that are aligned with these outcomes. Aside from designing high quality assessment for the cognitive and psychomotor domains, teachers must also be proficient in crafting affective assessment tools which can target outcomes contributing to affective development. Teachers can create, adapt or adopt assessment tools for the affective domain. These can be subjected to validation to make them more appropriate to different teaching and learning contexts and needs. It is recommended that enhancement of the learning plans be done with emphasis on the integration of affective learning outcomes, activities, resources and assessments. Teachers’ knowledge and skills in affective assessment particularly in tool development must also be given attention. Furthermore, teacher-made affective tools can be evaluated/ validated for quality assurance and dissemination.
