Abstract: This study aimed to describe the conceptions and practices of public secondary teachers in assessing learners under distance learning in the Division of Pampanga during the School Year 2021-2022. A mixed methods type of research, particularly sequential explanatory design, was employed involving the 58 public secondary school teachers. The researcher developed survey and interview guide questionnaires that were employed for data collection. Most teacher respondents were female and classified as late young adults. Findings revealed that teachers strongly agree on the importance of assessment in improving teaching and learning. Similarly, they demonstrate a strong agreement in their practices for conducting remote assessments. Furthermore, the study identified various challenges teachers faced when assessing learners through distance learning, such as difficulties in delivering effective learning, issues with student attitude, the intrusion of different entities, and parental involvement in their child's education. Furthermore, findings revealed a significant difference in the conception and practices of public secondary teachers when grouped according to sex, except for their conception of assessment in terms of school accountability. There is also a significant relationship between the respondents' profile (sex) and conception with a p-value of .265 and between the respondents' sex and the practices of assessments with a p-value of .309. These findings highlighted the need for an improved assessment practices plan to further enhance teachers' assessment conception and practices, emphasizing academic integrity to achieve greater parity with the legal bases supporting teachers' assessment practices appropriate for various learning modalities.
