Review: Professional Education Assessment and Evaluation

The process of collecting, reviewing and using data, for the purpose of improvement in the current performance, is called assessment. A process of passing judgment, on the basis of defined criteria and evidence is called evaluation. … Assessment is concerned with process, while evaluation focuses on product.

Assessment is defined as a process of appraising something or someone, i.e. the act of gauging the quality, value or importance. As against, evaluation focuses on making a judgment about values, numbers or performance of someone or something. Assessment is made to identify the level of performance of an individual, whereas evaluation is performed to determine the degree to which goals are attained.

Definition of Assessment

Assessment is defined as a methodical way of acquiring, reviewing and using information about someone or something, so as to make improvement where necessary. The term is interpreted in a variety of ways, i.e. educational, psychological, financial, taxation, human resource and so on.

In general, assessment is an ongoing interactive process, in which two parties (assessor and assessee) are involved. The assessor is someone who assesses the performance based on the defined standards, while assessee is someone who is being assessed. The process aims at determining the effectiveness of the overall performance of the assessee and the areas of improvement. The process involves, setting up goals, collecting information (qualitative and quantitative) and using the information for increasing quality.

Definition of Evaluation

The term ‘evaluation’ is derived from the word ‘value’ which refers to ‘usefulness of something’. Therefore, evaluation is an examination of something to measure its utility.

Simply put, evaluation is a systematic and objective process of measuring or observing someone or something, with an aim of drawing conclusions, using criteria, usually governed by set standards or by making a comparison. It gauges the performance of a person, completed project, process or product, to determine its worth or significance.

GENERAL ENGLISH

1. Robert Frost wrote the poem “Acquainted with the Night” from which the stanza is taken:
2. “I have been one acquainted with the night.
   I have walked out in rain-back in rain.
   I have out walked the farthest city light”

   The poet in the stanza talks of?
   a. isolation and loneliness
   b. joy getting out of the house
   c. youthful delight playing in the rain
   d. happiness in having been acquainted with the night
   Answer: A

3. Explanation:
4. Robert Frost’s Acquainted With The Night is a poem that takes the reader into the dark side of the human psyche. On the surface it is a short, uninspiring journey on foot through the streets of a city at night. Delve a little deeper however and this poem reveals much more, in typical Frost fashion.
5. ‘Poetry provides one permissible way of saying one thing and meaning another’ said Frost. You can see this idea emerge again and again in his poems. Acquainted With The Night is perhaps one of his most extreme examples.
6. Frost was no stranger to despair. He lost two sons, one through suicide, and two daughters when young. Another developed mental illness. Family stresses over a number of years induced depression and black moods. He found some consolation in his poetry.
7. 2. Which is the BEST WAY to write the underlined portion of this sentence? Researchers also speculate that some teachers might have given boys more computer time because parents and teachers expected boys to need computers for future careers.
   a. expected
   b. expecting
   c. will expect
   d. will have expected
   Answer: D
8. Explanation:
9. We use the past participle of play to show that the action will be performed on or towards the subject of the sentence. In this case, the past participle is “expected”. But for other verbs, whose past participle does not end in “-ed”, we would use the correct form ” will have expected”. 

   3. The wounded soldiers were visited by the president who honored them with ____ for their _____.
   a. medals – valor
   b. gun salute – bravery
   c. appointments – dedication
   d. money – sacrifice
   Answer: A

10. Explanation
11. The Soldier’s Medal is an individual decoration of the United States Army. It was introduced as Section 11 of the Air Corps Act, passed by the Congress of the United States on July 2, 1926. The criteria for the medal are: “The Soldier’s Medal is awarded to any person of the Armed Forces of the United States or of a friendly foreign nation who, while serving in any capacity with the Army of the United States, including Reserve Component soldiers not serving in a duty status at the time of the heroic act, distinguished himself or herself by heroism not involving conflict with an enemy.”

    a. Arsenio Lacson
    b. German Moreno
    c. Antonio Villegas
    d. Ramon Bagatsing
    Answer: C

12. Notes:
13. Among the significant accomplishments of Villegas as Mayor of the City of Manila were:
    • He was the first to provide a free education (with free books) from elementary to high school to the children in Manila,
    • He was the first provide free college education to the poor but intellectually gifted high school graduates of the City of Manila. This free college education includes free tuition, books and uniform.
    • He constructed the first free hospital in the Philippines, The Ospital ng Maynila.
    • He made Manila as a non-smoking city that prohibited smoking inside the buildings, including the public transports and movie theaters.
    • He started solving the traffic in Manila by:

    (a) constructing vehicular and pedestrian underpass and overpass; (b) limiting the entry in Manila of the provincial buses and freight trucks; (c) initiating the use ferry boats as public transport along Pasig River (Del Pan in Divisoria to/from Guadalupe Bridge in Makati/Mandaluyong.

    • Trees were planted, not only in public parks, but along the streets of Manila..
    • He constructed public parks in many parts of Manila.
    • He initiated the use of Pilipino (based on Tagalog dialect) as the official communication in Manila.

    5. Which among the sounds below is voiceless?
    a. /b/
    b. /z/
    c. /g/
    d. /p/
    Answer: D

    6. “Only the heart can see rightly.” This statement is lifted from what particular novel?
    a. The Prince and the Pauper
    b. The Little Prince
    c. The Right One
    d. The Pearl

14. Answer: B
15. Explanation:
16. This famous quote from The Little Prince essentially means that the “heart”—which might symbolize the soul or spirit, or one’s internal moral compass—can see what truly matters in life. While we usually associate “sight” with eyes, our eyes can actually be deceived by appearances and surface-level characteristics or frivolous things. Inside us, we know what is actually important, real, and good. The fox in the story understands this when he is able to see the prince’s true nature after growing to care for him.

Thank you very much…

How Taking Risks Evokes Leadership Success

As a leader, I’ve always done what I believe in; I’ve always followed my heart.
In business, I’ve learned that while answers may need to be in black-and-white, there’s also my answer. And, though my answer may be different, maybe even a bit risky, it’s my risk to take and it’s my outcome to manage.

That approach has served me well, and here’s why: Without trial and error — and risk taking — you remain stagnant, predictable and, ultimately, you will become complacent. Risks are about pushing yourself until you’re operating outside of your comfort zone — with good judgment of course — and allowing yourself to take a step that might feel uncomfortable at first. Growing and realizing your full potential requires it.

Risk taking is an increasingly critical element of leadership and essential for a leader’s effectiveness. Risk taking can be defined as: “Undertaking a task in which there is a lack of certainty or a fear of failure.” The problem at the core of risk taking is fear; fear of failure, fear of success, fear of looking like a fool, fear of seeming ignorant, fear of seeming too aggressive. Taking risk means confronting the fears/challenges and having the courage to move forward.

According to Seth Godin, “Playing it safe and not taking a risk is probably the most dangerous thing you could do in today’s rapidly changing and highly competitive business environment.” If we could somehow speak to the businesspeople both past and present that we revere most they would tell us that without an element of risk, nothing would ever be accomplished. Reward (and profit) comes in direct proportion to the risk involved.

Leaders are ultimately judged on the results that they deliver. Sometimes it can be easy for leaders just to tread water, especially when things seem to be going well. Yet in truth continued creativity and risk taking is critical to leadership success:

• Leadership success is about finding new or better ways of doing things or meeting needs of customers or clients.
• Leadership success starts with an idea or concept that needs to be developed.
• Leadership success is about finding different solutions to long-standing problems or issues that are getting in the way of results.
• Leaders need to be willing to dip their toes into the pool of uncertainty without letting the fear of failure stop them.

In these highly competitive and fast-moving times pushing the boundaries — personal, team, and organization — is not an option, but a necessity. Leaders who want to achieve success understand that taking risk is an essential part of achieving results. Leaders must discover their ‘risk tolerance’ by stepping-out of the comfort zone and engage with these four things in mind:

1. Don’t let limited thinking stop you.
2. Focus on the outcome and the rewards.
3. Learn from mistakes.
4. Recognize that success and failure are connected and are necessary for growth.

But, let’s be clear: Risk taking by itself without understanding the nuances of the challenge is reckless, and it will doom any project to failure. Finding the creative edges is both art and science. The best leaders have figured out how to do that. With that in mind, I’ve created a five step process to help you as a leader as you step out of your comfort zone:

Step One: Listen to your intuition
First, there is no perfection in risk taking. It really is a gut reaction, an instinct if you will. Allow yourself the pleasure of following it. Quite often people overthink things; they come up with reasons “not to” and only end up coming back to their first thought anyway. Believe in that first thought. Listen carefully to it, and don’t be afraid to follow it — nine times out of ten, it will prove to be worth-while.

Step Two: Be careful of analysis paralysis
Great leaders don’t become great by being predictable and playing it safe. Don’t get me wrong, there is merit in being consistent, and all risks should have some level of consideration — but, don’t over analyze. People can talk themselves out of anything and in risk taking you can’t let yourself get paralyzed in the details. It might never be the perfect time, with the perfect set of circumstances, but at some point you just have to do it. Take the risk, make the move. People will respect you for it.

Step Three: Don’t let “What you think you know” guide all of your actions
We are all creatures of habit — to some extent — but also have minds like sponges. As professionals, we need to be open to learning, exploring and not believing that we have all of the answers. Because, let’s be honest, we never really do. It’s important to realize that the world is changing — and it’s changing quickly. Sometimes what worked before will never work again. The best thing we can do as a professional is be open to exploring the new options that come our way and implement a trial-and-error mentality.

Step Four: Try starting with baby steps
If risks aren’t for you, try them in small doses. Try a pilot or test before taking the big leap. This method will allow you to see the outcome before the impact is too grand.

Step Five: Be ready to make mistakes
You’ll find out that with risk taking you won’t win every time. Be sure to minimize the fallout whenever possible and plan to re-execute with necessary changes should a risk not pan out. They are called risks for a reason, but don’t be afraid to make a mistake. Mistakes are the best way people learn and develop into the best kind of professionals.

In summary, risks are all about encouraging your own development into the best person and professional you can be. If the word “risk” is too strong a word, try instead “thinking outside the box” or “being innovative.”
