Study Notes
Traditional Assessment Tools
- Examples of traditional assessment tools include multiple choice tests, true or false tests, essays, and short answer tests.
Performance-Based Assessments
- The cone of experience can be used to create performance-based assessments, which shows how experiences change with time from concrete to abstract.
- Direct experiences, staged experiences, and dramatic participation make up the base of the cone.
- McTighe and Ferrara developed a matrix of performance-based assessments approaches and methods.
Types of Performance-Based Assessments
- Constructed responses: labeling a diagram, showing work, and visual representation.
- Products: art display, essay, lab report, log/journal, model, poem, portfolio, research document, research project, spreadsheet, story/play, and video/audio.
- Performances: fitness competition, dance or motion, debate, engaging reading, enactment, music performance, oral communication, demonstration, and process explanation.
Portfolios
- There are nine types of portfolios, but the most important ones in education are personal, working, showcase, and electronic portfolios.
- Portfolios allow students to provide a broad portrait of their performance through files that contain collections of students' work.
Purpose of Performance and Portfolio Assessment
- To measure students' proficiency by asking them to perform real-life tasks and provide multiple avenues to learn and demonstrate what they have learned.
- To provide students with opportunities to demonstrate meaningful application of what they have learned.
Examples of Performance-Based Assessments
- Group projects: enabling students to work together on a complex problem that requires planning, research, and group presentation.
- Experiments: testing how well students understand scientific concepts and can carry out scientific processes.
- Demonstrations: giving students opportunities to show their mastery of subject-area content and procedures.
- Portfolios: allowing students to provide a broad portrait of their performance through files that contain collections of students' work.
Performance Tasks
- Provide a common means of assessment.
- Ask students to do something, such as building a house using popsicle sticks, demonstrating the dissection of a frog, or writing a poem in iambic form.
- Examples of performance tasks in different areas include solving math problems, writing a sports story, translating English to Filipino, and presenting a drama performance.
- These performance tasks can be utilized for assessment.
