{"abstract":"This paper assesses the test construction skills of 84 secondary science teachers in Dagupan City public schools, aiming to improve assessment practices in line with UNESCO Education 2030, OECD, and DepEd Order No. 31, s 2020. A cross-sectional study used a survey questionnaire and CVI evaluation of teacher-made tests. Most teachers held Master's degrees, specializing in General Science and Biology. Competency was highest in Item Development (M = 3.69) and Content Alignment (M = 3.65), with moderate levels in Cognitive Demand (M = 3.44) and Distractor Effectiveness (M = 3.40). Test construction competence correlated positively with educational level, teaching experience, position, and training, but not with subject area or grade level. Senior High School teachers showed better Content Validity Index (CVI) scores (mean CVI = 0.85) than Junior High School teachers (mean CVI = 0.79), with Chemistry performing weakest in both groups. Key challenges included lack of time (76.2%), insufficient training (67.9%), difficulty writing distractors (64.3%), and assessing higher-order thinking (57.1%). The study recommends expanding training, providing resources, enhancing time management, establishing mentorship, and implementing a developmental framework to improve test construction, especially in Chemistry and Physics.","abstract_source":"gemini_shortened","authors":["Sheryl Borja","Nora Benavides"],"date":"2026-03-07","doi":"10.70838/pemj.521005","id":7295,"issue":10,"journal":{"issn":"2822-4353","name":"Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal"},"pdf_sha256":"aea246beb73cbda7af2344f0530764547a720c1101951abdb2f6701f0ec46d2b","schema":"scimatic-article/1","title":"Assessment Competency of Secondary School Science Teachers: A Developmental Framework for Leveraging Assessment Practices","volume":52}
