Criterion-Referenced Assessment: Reported By: Arden A. RECTO

The document discusses criterion-referenced assessment, which measures a student's performance against a fixed set of learning standards to determine if they have learned the material in a specific course. It is designed to assess specific skills defined in the curriculum, using tests with multiple-choice, true-false, and open-ended questions. The assessment compares a student's performance to a preset standard of achievement, rather than how they compare to other students. Scores are reported as a percentage of skills mastered by each student.
