Performance Authentic
Assessment Assessment
Alternative Assessment
 Product
The actual creation of
students that can be
viewed or touched by the
teachers.
 Performance-Based
Assessment
A direct and systematic observation of
the actual performance based on a
predetermined performance criteria.
Alternative form of assessing the
performance of the student.
 Features of
Performance-Based Assessment

Greater Realism of the tasks.

Greater Complexity of the tasks.
Greater time needed for assessment.
Greater use of judgment in scoring.
 Traditional Assessment
the paper-and-pencil test measures
learning indirectly.
Performance-Based
Assessment
is a direct measure of learning or
competence.
Domains of
Performance-Based
Assessment
A.Communication skills
B.Psychomotor skills
C.Athletic skills
D.Concept acquisition
E.Affective skills
Types of Performance-Based
Assessment
Restricted-response Performance Task
A performance task that is highly structured with
a limited scope.

Examples: writing a one-page summary of the class

outreach program
Complex Learning
Outcomes
Ability to:
construct a graph
read a story aloud
type an application letter
use engineering instruments
 Extended-Response Performance Task
A type of performance task that is less
structured and broader in scope.

Examples: Students conducting a thesis and

then presenting and defending their findings
in front of a panel of judges; rewriting a poem
after being criticized by a teacher.
 Complex
Learning Outcomes
Ability to:
write a thesis
create a regression model
repair a television
organize ideas
make an oral presentation about research
collect, analyze, and infer data
Focus of Performance-Based
Assessment
According to Gronlund, use the process when:
There is no product;
The process is orderly and directly observable;
Correct procedures/steps are crucial to later
success;
Analysis of procedural steps can help in improving
the product; and
Learning is at the early stage
According to Gronlund, use the product
when:
Different procedures result in an equally
good product;
Procedures not available for observation;
The procedures have been mastered
already; and
Products have qualities that can be
identified and judged.
Four Types of Accomplishments of
the Learners using Performance-
Based Assessment
1. PRODUCTS
Ex: poems, essays, charts, graphs, exhibits,
drawings, map, etc.
2. COMPLEX COGNITIVE PROCESSES
Ex: skills in acquiring, organizing, and using
information.
3.OBSERVABLE
PERFORMANCE
Ex: physical movements such as
dance, gymnastics, typing, oral
presentation, focusing in
laboratory class, following
cooking procedures
4.HABIT OF THE MIND AND SOCIAL
SKILLS
Ex: mental and behavioral habits such as
persistence and cooperation during group
work, recognition skills
ADVANTAGES OF
PERFORMANCE
BASED
ASSESSMENT
1.Assesses complex
learning outcomes.
2.Assesses the process as
well as the product.
3. Communicates
instructional goals related to
real world context.
4. Assesses progress as well as
the performance.
5. Involves the students in
the assessment process.
6. Recognizes that
students can express.
7. Specific, direct, and
understandable
information are available
to the parent of the
students.
8. Evaluates the “whole
student”.
9. Enhances the
professional skills of the
teachers.
10. Can establish a
framework for observing
the students.
11. Can contribute to a
meaningful curriculum
planning and design of
educational
inventions.

“KNOWING”
Uses of
Rubrics
•Rubrics are powerful tools for both
teaching and assessment.
•Rubrics are useful in that they help
students become more thoughtful judges
of the quality of their own and others’
work.
•Rubrics reduce the amount of time
teachers spend evaluating student’s work.
•Teachers appreciate rubrics
because their “accordion” nature
allows them to accommodate
heterogeneous classes.
•Rubrics are easy to use and
explain.
Advantages of
using rubrics
•Allow consistency and objectivity in
scoring across the given criteria;
•Clarify the criteria in more specific
terms;
•Students can identify the basis on
how they are to be evaluated;
•Allow the students to assess their own
performance, products, or works;
•Teachers can use a small amount of time to
evaluate the performance of the students;
•Students can evaluate their own
performance and the performance of their
classmates;
•Provide specific feedbacks on the performance
of the students, especially analytic scoring;
•Serve as standards when preparing the
tasks/activities against its measure and
progress is documented; and
•Provide students feedback about their
strengths and weaknesses according to their
performance.
Development of
Scoring Rubrics
•Be sure the criteria focus on
important aspects of the
performance.
•Match the type of rating with the
purpose of the assessment.
•The descriptions of the criteria
should be directly observable.
•The criteria should be written so
that students, parents and others
understand them.
•The characteristics and traits used
in the scale should be clearly and
specifically defined.
•Take appropriate steps to
minimize scoring error.
•The scoring system needs to
be feasible.

 Types of Scoring
Instruments for Performance
Assessments
1. CHECKLIST
an observation instrument
that defines performance
whether it is certain or
uncertain, or present or not
present.
2. NARRATIVE/ANECDOTAL
a continuous description of
student behavior as it occurs,
recorded without judgement or
interpretation.
3. Rating Scale
checklist that allows an
evaluator to record
information on a scale,
noting the finer distinction
like the presence or absence
of a behavior.
4. Memory Approach
an approach where the
teacher observes the students
when performing the tasks
without taking any notes.
5. Assess the performance
to assess the
performance of the
students, the evaluator can
use the different types of
approach to give
feedbacks.
 6. Specify the Constraint
in Testing
direct form of assessment in
which real world conditions and
constraint play a very important role
in demonstrating the competencies
desired from the students.
 Errors in
Performance-Based
Assessment
Possible Errors Committed using
Performance-based

•Personal Bias
•Generosity error
•Severity Error
•Halo affect
 Generosity Error
committed when a
teacher overrates the
performance of the
students or favors the high
performing students in the
class
Severity Error
when the teacher
favors the low
performing students
in the class.
Halo Effect
committed when
judging individual
characteristics in terms
of general impression
(Gronlund,1998).
 There are many ways in determining
CONCLUSION the excellent performance and not-so-
good performance or product as a result
of work students. We need greater time
for assessment and greater use of
judgment in scoring. Through the use of
assessment tools, the teacher can
manage his time in administering
questions and evaluating the work or
performance of students whether it
emphasize overall judgment or giving
feedbacks to students in different
aspects of performance because students
can also be able to evaluate and assess of
their own work as well as other’s work.
 These assessment procedures can be done when teacher
sets a clear expectation, clear guidelines regarding the
behaviors of student’s performance that is directly observed
and avoiding errors to achieve objectivity and consistency in
scoring.
Performance-based assessment assessed students’
performance task that represents application of their own
knowledge, different skills and surpass the standard that the
teacher expect from their performance.
Through guidelines and scoring instruments, it will be
recorded from objective observations which make it increase
meaningfulness and reliability of the result and improve
performance assessment.
