Abstract

The primary objective of this study was to examine and identify Classroom Assessment Techniques in Music, Arts, Physical Education, and Health (MAPEH) for junior high school students that might provide and help teachers through assessment and evaluation processes. The study was conducted at Jose Abad Santos High School (Binondo, Manila) during the third grading period of school year 2016–2017. The samples of the study were 20 students. The study was conducted for four weeks (20 days). This study utilized the inferential statistical data analysis, experimental design. Quantitative and qualitative data analyses were employed. The instruments used in the study were teacher-made quiz, classroom assessment techniques (CATs) sample assessment (questions), lesson plans, instructional devices, and perception survey questionnaire (research questionnaires). The result of the t-test at 0.05 level of significance revealed that there is a significant difference between the pre-evaluation and post evaluation in MAPEH after using classroom assessment techniques. The mean scores of 86.475 in the post evaluation were significantly higher than the mean scores of 77.2125 in the pre-evaluation. The mean difference of 9.2625 shows that classroom assessment techniques improved students’ performance in MAPEH. The students perceived positively on the use of CATs as revealed in the perception survey questionnaire.
