One hundred eighteen mathematics and science junior high school teachers from the Schools Division of Cagayan attended the Online Training on Developing Assessment Tasks that Promote Scientific and Mathematical Literacies. The training was designed to help mathematics and science teachers develop assessment tasks that promote scientific literacy and mathematical literacy anchored on the PISA assessment framework. The training also stressed the importance of solving mathematics and science problems in real-life contexts. As part of their outputs, the participants developed mathematics and science assessment tasks that expose students to connecting the context of the problem to their understanding of the major concepts, theories, and facts that form as bases for their scientific and mathematical knowledge. The participants also learned to use computer-based tools to prepare the computer-based version of the assessment tasks they developed. The online training also introduced participants to assessment strategies that can be implemented in remote learning.
