The assessment of students is one issue that has arisen in distant learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study described the assessment techniques and difficulties teachers faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research project used a descriptive survey methodology. The study was conducted in Zone IV Division of Zambales. There was a total of 100 junior high school teachers in Zone IV Division of Zambales who have at least three (3) months of experience in modular flexible learning modalities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results of the study indicated that the teachers sometimes employ technology-enhanced assessment tools in addition to frequently using standard assessment techniques. When it comes to the grading system, academic integrity, resolving students concerns about assessments, and formative assessment methods, teachers frequently run into difficulties. Because of this, people frequently use various coping mechanisms to deal with the difficulties they face. Using the assessment procedures, the teachers achieved a satisfactory level of performance. There were significant correlations between the assessment practices and assessment challenges, between the assessment practices and coping strategies, between the assessment practices and teaching performance, between assessment challenges and coping strategies between assessment challenges and teaching performance, and between coping strategies and teaching performance. Given that online and flexible learning have become the new standard, educators may be encouraged to adopt technology-enhanced evaluation techniques. The difficulties teachers face when evaluating students during the COVID-19 pandemic may be addressed with interventions and the proper course of action.
