Study Notes
Performance Assessment
- Performance assessment is an assessment activity that requires students to generate products or performances that provide direct or indirect evidence of their knowledge, skills, and abilities in an academic content domain.
- It provides teachers with information about how well a student understands and applies knowledge, going beyond recall of information.
- It is used for assessing learning outcomes that involve designing or creating projects or products, such as research papers, art exhibits, reflective essays, and portfolios.
Types of Performance Assessment
- Product-based assessments:
- Visual products (charts, illustrations, graphs, collages, murals, maps, timeline flows, diagrams, posters, advertisements, video presentations, art exhibits)
- Kinesthetic products (diorama, puzzles, games, sculpture, exhibits, dance recital)
- Written products (journals, diaries, logs, reports, abstracts, letters, thought or position papers, poems, story, movie/TV scripts, portfolio, essay, article report, research paper, thesis)
- Verbal products (audiotapes, debates, lectures, voice recording, scripts)
- Performance-based assessments:
- Oral presentations/demonstrations (paper presentation, poster presentation, individual or group report on assigned topic, skills demonstration)
- Dramatic/creative performances (dance, recital, dramatic enactment, prose or poetry interpretation, role playing, playing musical instruments)
- Public speaking (debates, mock trial, simulations, interviews, panel discussion, storytelling, poem reading)
Authentic Assessment
- Authentic assessment requires students to demonstrate their skills in applying skills and knowledge they have learned from class.
- It involves tasks that resemble what people do in the real setting or context, such as doing an actual research, making a case study, giving a speech, or performing on a stage.
Characteristics of a Good Performance Assessment
- It explains the task, required elements, and scoring criteria to the students before the start of the activity and assessment.
- Students should be involved in the whole assessment process from the very onset, including providing assessment options, getting involved in discussions and decision-making on performance standards and criteria, and training on how to apply rubrics for self- and peer-assessment.
Designing Performance Assessment
- The learning outcomes at the end of the course serve as the bases in designing the performance assessment tasks.
- It is important to present and explain the requirements of the subject to the students at the start of the class, including the required tasks, activities or projects, the expected quality and level of performance or output, and the criteria to be included for assessment.
