gathering quantitative and/or
qualitative data and organizing

What is UBD?
It means Understanding by Design.
It was first conceptualized by Grant

Wiggins and Jay Mc Tighe in their book


Understanding by Design Professional
Development Workbook, 2004

What is UBD?
It is a guide in designing a curriculum,

assessment, and instruction that aims


for student understanding.

It is not an educational philosophy but

a guide in understanding different


educational philosophies that are
geared towards student understanding.

What is UBD?
It is a 3-stage approach that follows a
backward design to curriculum or
instructional planning.
Stage 1: Identifying desired results
Stage 2: Determining acceptable evidence
Stage 3: Plan learning experiences and
instruction

What is the role of assessment in UBD?

Assessment for learning

Assessment of learning

Assessment FOR Learning


Formative Assessment
The act of determining the

extent to which the desired


results are on the way to be
achieved.

Assessment FOR Learning


Formative
The results of a assessment are
communicated clearly and
promptly to the students for them
to know their strengths and
weaknesses and the progress of
their learning.

Assessment OF Learning
a summative assessment
The act of determining to what extent

the desired result have been achieved


Its results reveal whether or not

instructions have successfully achieved


the curriculum outcomes.

Assessment FOR Learning


Formative
Teacher use assessment to
know what their students are
bringing into the learning
situation and use this as a
starting pointer for
instruction.

Assessment FOR Learning


Formative
Teachers continuously
monitor the students level
of attainment of the
learning objectives
(Stiggins, 2005)

Assessment OF Learning
a summative assessment
It is used to certify what student know and can

do and the level of their proficiency or


competency.
The information from assessment of learning

is usually expressed as marks or letter grades.

Assessment OF Learning
a summative assessment
The results of which are communicated

to the students, parent and other


stakeholders for decision making.
It is also a powerful factor that could
pave the way for educational reforms.

How do assessors think compared with


activity designers?
When thinking like When thinking like an
an assessor, we ask: activity designer, we
ask:

What would be sufficient of


understanding?

What would be fun and


interesting activities on this
topic?

Given the goals, what


performance tasked must
anchor the until and focus
the instructional work.

What project might students


wish to do on this topic.

How do assessors think compared with


activity designers?
When thinking like When thinking like an
an assessor, we ask: activity designer, we
What are the different
kinds of evidence
required of stage 1
desired results?
Against what criteria
will we appropriately
consider work and
assess levels of quality

ask:
What test should I give
based on the content I
taught?
How will I give students
a grade and justify it to
their parents?
