Assessment Assignment 2

A self-report requires students to write about their thoughts, feelings, or attitudes towards a topic. It measures affective learning outcomes. Teachers should guide students to demonstrate different levels of understanding, from basic knowledge to complex characterization. Rating scales measure quantitative attributes in the social sciences. Common types include Likert scales with numeric categories, semantic differential scales using contrasting adjectives, and Thurstone scales determining favorability positions. Checklists simply mark items as present or absent. Thurstone scales present statements to rate agreement, while Likert scales use categories like "strongly agree." Guttman scaling improves on these by arranging items in a cumulative, hierarchical order of difficulty to demonstrate mastery.

A. What is a self – report? What should such a self – report essentially contain?

How should a
teacher instruct the students in writing self – reports?
Self report is the most common measurement tool in the affective domain. It essentially
requires an individual o provide an account of his attitude or feelings toward a concept
or idea or people. It is oftentimes called “written reflections”. It requires the students to
write his/her thoughts on a subject matter. The teacher ensures that the students write
something which would demonstrate the various levels of the taxonomy e.g. lowest
level of receiving up to characterization.
B. What is a rating scale? Enumerate the various types of rating scales and explain how these
rating scales are formulated?
A Rating Scale is a set of categories designed to elicit information about a quantitative
attribute in social science. Common examples are the Likert scale and 1-10 rating scales
for which a person selects the number which is considered to reflect the perceived
quality of a product. The basic feature of any rating scale is that it consists of a number
of categories. These are usually assigned integers. Another example is a S3emantic
Differential Scale (SD) that tries o assess an indiviual’s reaction to specific words, ideas
or concepts in terms of ratings on bipolar scales defined with contrasting adjectives at
each end. Also an example is a Thurstone scale , it is considered as the father of attitude
measurement. It was being developed to determine the position of favorability on the
issue. And lastly an example is a Checklist. This is the common and perhaps the easiest
instrument in the affective domain to construct is the checklist. It contains of simple
items that the students or teacher marks as “absent” or “present”.
C. What is the difference between a Thurstone scale and a Likert Scale? In what way does Guttman
scaling improve on both types of scales?
The difference between Thurstone Scale and a Likert Scale is that the Thurstone scale is
D. What is a semantic differential scale? Illustrate the use of a semantic differential scale the
measurement of attitude.
The Semantic Differential (SD) is a scale tries to assess an individual’s reaction t specific
words, ideas or concepts in terms of ratings on bipolar scales defined with contrasting
adjectives at each end. An example of an SD scale is:
Good _______ _______ _______ _______ ________ ______ _____ Bad
3 2 1 0 1 2 3
Usually, the position marked 0 is labeled “neutral”, the 1 positions are labeled “slightly,”
the 2 position “quite,” and the 3c positions “extremely,”. In the illustration above, for
instance , a “3” close to good would mean an “extremely good” reaction while a “3”
close to bad would an “extremely bad reaction”. The scale actually measures two things:
directionality of a reaction (e.g., good versus bad) and also intensity (slight through
extreme).
E. Construct a rating scale for each for each of the following situations:
1. Measuring attitudes towards Mathematics
2. Measuring interest in literary arts
3. Motivation to study instrument
4. Predisposition to Work Instrument
5. Measuring attitude towards language studies
F. Construct a checklist for each of the following activities:
1. Classroom observation for a practice teacher
2. Good interpersonal relations checklist
3. Checklist for behavior demonstrating good manners and right conduct
4. Checklist for good practices in typing
5. Checklist for good practices in laboratory experiments
