If the learning target is to cultivate: cognitive domain - the activities must be for cognate level; affective domain - enhance the ASSESSMENT METHODS LEARNING TARGETS - Objective Supply Knowledge - Objective Select Knowledge - Essay Reasoning - Performance-based Skills, products - Oral-question Knowledge, reasoning - Observation Knowledge, skills - Self-report Affects 3. **Balance -** Assessment methods should be able to assess all domains of learning (cognitive, affective and psychomotor) and hierarchy of objectives.  4. **Validity --** Assessment should be valid. There are several types of validity that are to be established. The following are: Content Validity, Face Validity, Concurrent Validity, Predictive Validity, Discriminant Validity, Construct Validity. 5. **Reliability -** Assessment should show consistent and stable results. There are methods which can be used to measure and establish reliability. Reliability can be measured using: Test-retake or Retest Method, Split-Half, Parallel-form/Equivalence test, Test of Stability, Measurement of stability & Equivalence, Kuder-Richardson. 6. **Fairness -** Assessment should give equal opportunities for every student. There should be no discrimination of any kind (racial, age, gender, etc.) 8. **Positive Consequences --** Assessment should have a positive effect. It should motivate students to learn and do more and should give way to improve the teacher\'s instruction. 9. **Authenticity -** Assessment should touch real life situations and should emphasize practicability. 10. **Practicality and Efficiency** - Assessment should save time, money, etc. It should be resourceful. 11. **Assessment is a continuous process -** assessment is an integral part of the teaching-learning process, it should be dynamic, continuous, and efficient. It seeks the innovative capabilities of students and student progress in learning. 12. **Ethics -** assessment should not be used to derogate the students. One example of this is the right to confidentiality. **Checkpoint:** \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Lesson 2: Fun Facts of Authentic Assessment \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================= Course Outcomes: Demonstrate understanding of the principles of high-quality assessment in conceptualizing, organizing and using authentic assessment techniques in various curriculum teaching areas. Specific Learning Outcomes: Fuel your Mind ------------------------------------ According to Smaldino (2000), **Traditional Assessment** often focus on Learner's ability of memorization and recall, which are lower level of cognition skills. Best examples of traditional assessment are paper-and-pencil tests or quizzes. These are standardized written assessment wherein it is given as one-time shot. Students are given limited answers to choose from and time bounded. Moreover, traditional assessments are indirect and inauthentic measures of students learning outcomes. **Authentic assessment** is sometimes synonymously known as Performance-based Assessment or Alternative assessment, which gives more opportunities for students to be creative and realistic on their works, based on Herman, Aschbacher, and Winters. However, authentic assessment and performance-based assessment are not completely the same. On the other hand, Stefonek has gathered distinct definitions and interpretations from various experts in the field describing authentic assessment: ༺ ༻ f Methods that emphasize learning and thinking, especially higher order thinking skills such as problem-solving strategies (Collins) f Tasks that focus on students' ability to produce a quality product or performance (Wiggins) f Disciplined inquiry that integrates and produces knowledge, rather than reproduces fragments of information others have discovered (Newmann) f Meaningful tasks at which students should learn to excel (Wiggins) f Challenges that require knowledge in good sense and good judgement (Wiggins) f A new type of positive interaction between the assessor and assessee (Wiggins) f An examination of differences between trivial school tasks (e.g., giving definitions of biological terms) and more meaningful performance in non-school settings (e.g., completing a field survey of wild life)(Newmann) f Involvement that demystifies tasks and Standards (Wiggins) (as cited in Stefonek,1991) ༺ ༻ Frey (2012) stated there are dimensions of authenticity grouped into three broad categories: A. The Context of the Assessment -------------------------------- - Realistic activity or context - The task is performance-based - The task is cognitively complex B. The Role of the Student -------------------------- - A defense of the answer or product is required. - The assessment is formative. - Students collaborate with each other or with the teacher. ### C. The Scoring - The scoring criteria are known or student-developed. - Multiple indicators or portfolios are used for scoring. ▪ The performance expectation is mastery. In general, below are the best uses of authentic assessment as claimed by Mueller (2010): 1. **Authentic assessment are direct measures --** to use the acquired knowledge and skills in the real world. (e.g. Science experiment, developing feasibility study, calculating savings) 2. **Authentic assessments capture constructive nature of learning --** constructivists believed that learners should create knowledge and meaning based from schemata. 3. **Authentic assessments integrate teaching, learning, and assessment --** students' applying meaningful concepts. Best exemplified example is problem solving and decision-making skills. 4. **Authentic assessments provide multiple paths to demonstration --** students demonstrate what they have learned in their most creative and original ways considering the criteria for good performance set by the teacher. +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | | | **Performance | | | | Assessment** | +=======================+=======================+=======================+ | Assessment | Selecting a response | Performing a task | | | | | | Activity | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Nature of | Contrived activity | Activity emulates | | | | real life | | Activity | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Cognitive | Knowledge/comprehensi | Application/analysis/ | | | on | synthesis | | Level | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Development | Teacher-structured | Student-structured | | | | | | of Solution | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Objectivity of | Easily achieved | Difficult to achieve | | | | | | Scoring | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ | Evidence of | Indirect evidence | Direct evidence | | | | | | Mastery | | | +-----------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------+ **Liskin-Gasparo (1997), Mueller (2008) & Wren (2009)** In the classroom, when the teacher gives a specific task to students to accomplish it is an intended learning outcome that must be done after the instruction. Every classroom activity is a necessity to enrich the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor (CAP) domain of each learner. The teacher can monitor that there is progress to students through administering thorough assessment procedure. Assessment can be done formally and informally. It can be done in a paper-andpen activity and much more efficient if there is a corresponding performance activity given. Upon teacher's assessment, rubric is needed to give grades to the work done by the students. Immediate feedback to students on their work is significant for their improvement. Assessment focuses to deliver a quality check both the best and needs improvement output of the students. It means that through assessment, it should encourage the learners to do more in the academe. Opening tons of opportunities for them to innovate to meet the desired learning outcomes set by the teacher in the course. \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ Lesson 3: Performance-Based Assessment in the Classroom \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ ============================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================= Course Outcomes: Demonstrate understanding of the principles of high-quality assessment in conceptualizing, organizing and using authentic assessment techniques in various curriculum teaching areas.

In this way, proper selection of performance criteria and scoring procedures can be established. Skills that need to be carried out through, requires to examine the process on doing and making things, and the final product through the exerted efforts of the students. Independent and sound judgment, critical thinking and decisionmaking are best assessed with performance-based assessment. McMillan (2007) asserted that performance-based assessment is when the teachers observes and makes a judgment about students' demonstration of a skill or competency of inventing one-of a kind product, constructing own responses and draw up presentations. It focuses on what they know and what they can do specifically hands-on experiences (e.g. exhibits, projects, and work samples). Best activities include: demonstrations, speech, skit, role playing, conducting seminars/forums/orientations, and creating music-video presentation. Performance-based assessment Task (Musial, 2009): - Solving a problem o Completing an inquiry o Determining a position o Demonstration task o Developing exhibits o Presentation task - Capstone performances +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | **Strengths** | **Limitations** | +===================================+===================================+ | Performance assessment clearly | Development of high-quality | | identifies and clarifies learning | performance assessment is a | | targets | tedious process. | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Performance assessment allows | Performance assessment requires a | | students to | considerable amount of time to | | | administer. | | exhibit their own skills, | | | talents, and expertise | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Performance assessment advocates | Performance assessment takes a | | constructivist principle of | great deal of time to score. | | learning. | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Performance assessment uses a | Performance task score may have | | variety of approaches to student | lower reliability. | | evaluation | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ | Performance assessment allows the | Performance task completion may | | teachers to explore the main goal | be discouraging to less able | | and processes of teaching and | students. | | learning process | | +-----------------------------------+-----------------------------------+ **Summary of PBA Strengths and Weaknesses** --------------------------------------------- -- 2 kinds of Performance-based Assessment **Process-Oriented Assessment** Evaluates the actual tasks of the student. Refers to observable on the-spot performance to be assessed. The objectives focus on the **behaviors** which exemplify "best practice" for the particular task. It is the **HOW** of the learning target. Examples: writing a poem, handwriting strokes, Manner of Shading or applying colors, baking a cake, the techniques used in a PowerPoint presentation. Rubrics are used to evaluate performances. ### Product-Oriented Assessment Sample: Process-oriented performance-based assessment **Problem-Solving and Decision-making Performance Task** *Adapted from Educational Planning, Portland Public Schools* Key Competencies: a. Uses reading skills and strategies to comprehend and interpret what is read. b. demonstrate competence in speaking and listening as tools for learning. c. construct complex sentences. Your friend is going through a difficult time. You have tried talking about the issue but to no avail. After much thought you recall a book you had read where the character went through a similar experience as your friend. How might the book help your friend deal with the problem? What other sources of information or resources could you find to help your friend? What might be some strategies your friend could use? Use your writing skills to compose a letter to your friend as to why he should read the book or resources you have collected. Be sure your letter contains examples from the readings, your feelings and encouragement. As a problem solver, devise a plan to meet with your friend to identify possible solutions to the problem after he has read the materials. be sure you are considerate of feelings and outline steps you'll take to make sure your discussion is one of collaboration. You will be assessed on your ability to make informed decisions, your ability to create a letter with complex sentences, your ability to solve problem and your ability to work collaboratively with a peer.
