TOPIC: PERFORMANCE BASED ASSESSMENT
1. What is performance-based assessment?
- Performance based assessments are methods of teaching and
appraising learners based on how they carry out specific tasks or
activities, as opposed to more traditional test formats.
This approach allows learners to demonstrate their knowledge and
how they would apply it to real-world scenarios. Performance
assessment (alternative assessment) is one which requires students
to demonstrate that they have mastered specific skills and
competencies by performing or producing something.
2. What are the types of performance-based assessment?
- According to the reporter, here are the types of assessments:
Individual projects - Projects have long been used in education to
asses a student’s understanding of a subject or a particular topic.
Group projects - Group projects involve a number of students
working together on a complex problem that requires planning,
research, internal discussion and presentation.
Portfolios - Portfolios are systematic, purposeful and meaningful
collections of an individual’s work designed to document learning
overtime.
There are two types of portfolios: Working portfolio and Model
portfolio.
Performances - Rubrics can be written so that students are evaluated
on all three learning domains (psychomotor, cognitive and affective.)
Journals - can be used to record student feelings thought, perceptions
or reflections about actual events or results.
3. How can this performance-based assessment help in the
development of the learner?
- Performance-based assessments can empower students by giving
them freedom to make choices, within parameters set by teachers,
about the direction that their learning should take. Giving students
this kind of ownership of their learning process can be a powerful
motivator.
Performance assessment allows students to play an active role in the
assessment process, which experts have found increases their
engagement and, in turn, enhances their learning. Assessments can
be designed so that students choose their topic or select the best way
to demonstrate their understanding.
4. Cite at least one (1) example of a performance assessment you are
using in your class.
- As an elementary teacher, the performance based assessments hat I
am implementing are role plays, poem recital, storytelling,
demonstration of skills learned in various objects and through guided
practice.
