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”

Student work on purposes of authentic

assessment: (MC Nergney 2004)

JOuRNALS

Students 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.

PORTFOLIOS

is 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.

RUBRICS

is a scoring key

can also be used to note the strength of various aspects of student’s work.

Story or text retelling

Writing samples

Projects/exhibitions

constructed- response items

Teacher observation

Oral interviews

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.

1. They establish what is thought

2. Their inflexibility reduces possible content

3. They tend to constrict learning to multiple choice

4. 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 drama

2. concept map

3. Student’s portfolio

4. Reflective journals

5. 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
