This research assessed the respondents’ philosophies in teaching, ideas of
educational assessment, approaches used to measure their students’
performances, tools in assessment they perceive to be effective and their views
st
about 21 century assessment tools. The study used the descriptive-correlative
survey to explain the relationship between their personal philosophies and the

st
21 century tools they used to assess their students. Majority of the respondents
held an eclectic view of teaching and look up to alternative concept of
st
classroom management. Their viewpoint in using 21 century assessment tools
contradict in terms of their perceptions on the best purpose and major emphasis
of assessment, teacher’s role in assessing students, and on what students must
achieve in learning and the teacher’s preferred nature of test plan. While
few respondents favor 21 century teaching tools, most of them still stick to
st
using the traditional style of assessment. The respondents’ perspectives in
assessing their students led to eclecticism for their lack of consistency and
firmness in sticking to the particular use of modern assessment tools. This means
they do not have a single best preference of assessment tools used in judging
their students’ performances.

st
Keywords: 21 century assessment tools, education philosophy, effective
assessment tools, eclecticism in the use of assessment tools
