METHODS OF ASSESSMENT
Remembering (K1)  The lowest level of questions require students to recall information
from the course content
 Knowledge questions usually require students to identify
information in the textbook.
Understanding (K2)  Understanding of facts and ideas by comprehending organizing,
comparing, translating, interpolating and interpreting in their own
words.
 The questions go beyond simple recall and require students to
combine data together
Application (K3)  Students have to solve problems by using / applying a concept
learned in the classroom.
 Students must use their knowledge to determine a exact response.
Analyze (K4)  Analyzing the question is one that asks the students to break down
something into its component parts.
 Analyzing requires students to identify reasons causes or motives
and reach conclusions or generalizations.
Evaluate (K5)  Evaluation requires an individual to make judgment on something.
 Questions to be asked to judge the value of an idea, a character, a
work of art, or a solution to a problem.
 Students are engaged in decision-making and problem – solving.
 Evaluation questions do not have single right answers.

Create (K6)  The questions of this category challenge students to get engaged in
creative and original thinking.
 Developing original ideas and problem solving skills
