Assessment
Performance Assessment
It is an approach to measuring students status
based on the way that the student completes a
specified task.
It can be called:
Authentic Assessment because assessment
tasks closely coincide with real-life, nonschool
tasks.
Alternative Assessment because the assessment
constitutes an alternative to traditional, paper-&-
pencil tests.
Students generate understanding rather than
select responses.
Inferences & Tasks
Determinants of assessing students:
1. The inference you want to make about those
students.
2. The decisions that will be based on that
inference.
