Assessment of Learning 2

1. Performance
Based
Assessment

2. What is Performance Based
Assessment ?
• It is a set of strategies for the acquisition
and application of knowledge , Skills, and
work habits through the performance of
tasks that are meaningful and engaging to
students.

3. What is Performance Based
Assessment ?
• This type of assessment provides the
teacher with information about how
students understand and applies
knowledge.

4. What is Performance Based
Assessment ?
• Students apply their knowledge and skills
in context.

5. What is Performance Based
Assessment ?
• In its simplest terms, a performance
assessment (Alternative assessment) is
one which requires students to
demonstrate that they have mastered
specific skills and competencies by
performing or producing something.

6. • Wiggins (1998) uses physical activity
when providing examples to illustrate
complex assessment concepts, as they
are easier to visualize than would be the
case with a cognitive example.

7. The Cone of Learning
• During the 1960s, Edgar Dale theorized
that learners retain more information by
what they “do” as opposed to what is
“heard”, “read” or “observed”. His research
led to the development of the Cone of
Experience.

10. What are the types of
Performance Based
Assessment?

12. Individual or Group Projects
• Projects have long been used in education
to assess a student’s understanding of a
subject or a particular topic.

13. • Projects typically require students to apply
their knowledge and skills while
completing the prescribed task, which
often calls for creativity, critical thinking,
analysis, and synthesis.

14. • Group projects involve a number of
students working together on a complex
problem that requires planning, research,
internal discussion, and presentation.

15. Portfolio
• Portfolios are systematic, purposeful, and
meaningful collections of an individual’s
work designed to document learning over
time.

16. 2 Types of Portfolio

17. Working Portfolio
• A repository of portfolio documents that
the student accumulates over a certain
period of time.

18. • Other types of process information may
also be included, such as drafts of student
work or records of student achievement or
progress over time.

20. Showcase or model portfolio
• A portfolio consisting of work samples
selected by the student that document the
student’s best work.

21. • The student has consciously evaluated his
or her work and selected only those
products that best represent the type of
learning identified for this assessment.

23. Performances
• Game play during a tournament is also
considered a student performance.
Rubrics for game play can be written so
that students are evaluated on all three
learning domains (psychomotor, cognitive,
and affective).

24. • Students might demonstrate their skills
and learning in one of the following ways:
 Performing an aerobics routine for a
school assembly
 Organizing and performing a jump rope
show at the half-time of a basketball game

25. • Although performances do not produce a
written product, there are several ways to
gather data to use for assessment
purposes. A score sheet can be used to
record student performance using the
criteria from a game play rubric.

27. Journals
• It can be used to record student feelings,
thoughts, perceptions, or reflections about
actual events or results.

29. Advantages
• Collaboration of each group.
• Learners centered.
• 3 domains are very useful in this type
of assessment.
• The knowledge will retain in the
memory of the students.(Cone of
Learning)
• Can promote student creativity.

30. • Using a student-centered design can
promote student motivation.
• May allow probes by faculty to gain
clearer picture of student
understanding or though processes

31. Disadvantages
• The students can easily cheat in this
assessment.
• Too expensive.
• Too much time needed to complete
the project.
• For teachers, too much time alloted
for making rubrics.
