 Testing

➢ An instrument of assessment.
➢ An assessment tool that reflects the records of

 Marks

ABSTRACTION
 AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

According to Jon Mueller (2011), “authentic

assessment is a form of assessment in which
students are asked to perform real-world tasks
that demonstrate meaningful application of
essential knowledge and skill…”
 AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT

According to Grant Wiggings (1987), authentic

assessment presents “…engaging and worthy problems or
questions of importance, in which students must use
knowledge to fashion performances effectively and
creatively. The tasks are either replicas of or analogous
to the kind of problems faced by adult citizens and
consumers or professionals in the field.”
 Characteristics of Authentic Assessment

1. AA starts with clear and definite criteria of

performance made known to students
2. AA is criterion-referenced rather than norm
referenced and so it identifies strengths and
weaknesses but does not compare students nor
rank their levels of performance.
 Characteristics of Authentic Assessment

3. AA requires learners to make their own

answers to questions and requires them to use a
range of higher order thinking skills (HOTS).
4. AA often emphasizes performance, so students
are required to demonstrate their knowledge,
skills, or competencies in appropriate situations
 Characteristics of Authentic Assessment

5. AA encourages both teacher and learners to

determine their rate of progress in cooperatively
attaining desired learning outcomes
6. AA changes the role of students as passive test takers
into active and involved participants in assessment
activities that emphasize what they are capable of
doing.
 Characteristics of Authentic Assessment

7. AA changes the role of students as passive test takers

into becoming active and involved participants in
assessment activities that emphasize what they are
capable of doing.
