Let’s do it!

WHAT DO I NEED TO LEARN?

OBJECTIVES:At the end of this module, the

learners should be able to: Differentiate defining characteristics of

authentic and traditional ass; Design an engaging task appropriately

aligned with a learning standard; and Critic the criteria and levels of

performance of a rubric developed.

WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

WHAT IS AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT?

Is an evaluation process that involves multiple forms of performance measurement reflecting the student’s learning, achievements, motivation and attitudes on instructionally relevant activities.

Form of assessment in which students are asked to perform real world tasks, that demonstrate meaningful application of essential knowledge and skills.

HOW IS AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT ASS. SIMILAR TO/DIFFERENT FROM

TRADITIONAL ASS?Mueller (2011) presented the ff.

comparison between the two approaches to assessment from his article. “AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT TOOL”

WHAT ARE THE SOME FORMS OF AUTHENTI ASSESSMENT?

Student work on purposes of authentic assessment: (MC Nergney 2004)

JOuRNALSStudents can use journals to

record their feelings about a particular assignment to describe what they learned from a project, to explain why did or did not think a test was fair, and so on.

PORTFOLIOSis a collection of the students work that

represents the best of his learning efforts.portfolios might include test papers,

essays, diagrams and projects, video tapes of musical performance, video tapes of drama productions, computer programs and the like.

RUBRICSis a scoring keycan also be used to note the strength

of various aspects of student’s work.

FORMS OF AUTHENTIC ASS. WHICH ARE COMMONLY USED: Story or text retelling Writing samples Projects/exhibitions constructed- response items Teacher observation Oral interviews

KEY FINDINGS ABOUT AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

WHAT DO I NEED TO REMEMBER?1. Education must be informed by critical thought

and applied knowledge Basis for the increased rote of authentic

assessment in classroom use is the belief that education is not simply a matter of memorization but must be informed by critical thought and connected and applied knowledge

2. Authentic assessment allows for measuring meaningful and valid tasks

Learning experience used in the context of students working in problems, project or products thatgenuinely engage and motivate them to do well.

TRADITIONAL ASS. LIMITING DUE TO THE FF. FACTORS

1. They establish what is thought2. Their inflexibility reduces possible content3. They tend to constrict learning to multiple

choice4. The results are open to possible misuse and

misunderstanding

3. Authentic assessment allows for learner specific evaluation

Traditional assessment is often criticized for focusing on the disconnectedness between the limited range of skills fought in the classroom and what the students will face in the real world.

4. Self assessment is built into authentic assessment tasks

Asks students to examine their strengths and weaknesses and to set their own goals to further their learning

5. There are many types of authentic assessment tools

Authentic assessment tools that are intended to increase students engagement and make learning more relevant. These include:

1. Role play and drama2. concept map3. Student’s portfolio4. Reflective journals5. Utilizing multiple information sources;6. Group work in which team members

design and build models

6. Authentic assessment is criterion- referenced, as opposed to norm- referenced.

criterion-referenced ass. Are designed to compare student’s performance against learning task standards

7. Assessment and evaluation are not the same thing.

Moore (1998) attempt to clarify terminology used to determine the difference between assessment and evaluation
