Performance Assessment

Captions available

The idea

Performance assessment asks students to carry out complex tasks, judging both process and product; authentic assessment resembles real-world tasks, while alternative assessment means any format other than paper and pencil.

In practice

Students design and run an experiment, scored on procedure and report.

Where people slip

It captures complex outcomes but costs time, samples fewer goals and is harder to score reliably.
