ASSESSMENT IN LEARNING 2 PART 6 PERFORMANCE BASED TASK.pptx

ASSESSMENT

1. PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT: KEY CONCEPTS AND IMPLEMENTATION

2. Performance-based assessment (PBA) is an evaluation method where students demonstrate their knowledge and skills through real-world tasks. It focuses on application, problem-solving, and critical thinking rather than traditional paper-and-pencil tests.

3. STEPS IN PLANNING AND EXECUTING PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENTS Effective PBA requires clear objectives, structured criteria, and a reliable evaluation process

4. Step 1: Define Learning Objectives Clearly state what students should demonstrate after completing the task. Example: In a science class, the objective might be: "Students will design an experiment to test the effect of temperature on plant growth." Step 2: Design the Performance Task Develop an authentic and engaging task that aligns with the learning goals. Example: In an English class, students might write and deliver a persuasive speech.

5. Step 3: Determine the Evaluation Criteria Set clear standards to assess student performance. Example: A math project may be graded based on accuracy, problem-solving approach, and clarity of explanation . Step 4: Develop a Scoring Rubric Create a rubric with detailed descriptions of performance levels (e.g., Excellent, Good, Needs Improvement). Example: A writing rubric might evaluate organization, grammar, vocabulary, and coherence .

6. Step 5: Conduct the Performance Task Guide students through the task and provide necessary resources. Example: In an art class , students could be assigned to create a painting that represents a historical event . Step 6: Observe and Document Student Performance Use checklists, notes, or video recordings for reference. Example: In a public speaking assessment , teachers may record the speech for later review.

7. Step 7: Evaluate Using the Rubric Apply the rubric fairly to assess each student’s performance. Example: In a science fair , students may be evaluated on creativity, research depth, and presentation skills . Step 8: Provide Feedback and Reflect Give constructive feedback to help students improve. Example: A music teacher provides feedback on a student's piano recital, suggesting ways to enhance rhythm and expression.

8. TYPES OF CRITERIA FOR EVALUATING STUDENT PERFORMANCES

9. To ensure fair and comprehensive evaluation , different criteria are used based on the nature of the task.

10. 1. Accuracy and Content Mastery Evaluates correctness and depth of understanding . Example: A math teacher assesses if students solved equations correctly. 2. Creativity and Originality Measures innovation and unique thinking in tasks. Example: A graphic design project is graded based on originality and visual appeal .

11. 3. Organization and Structure Examines how well ideas are arranged and presented . Example: In an essay , students are graded on logical flow and coherence . 4. Application of Knowledge Tests how well students apply concepts in real-world situations . Example: A business student designs a marketing plan for a startup.

12. 5. Communication and Presentation Skills Assesses clarity, confidence, and effectiveness in delivery . Example: A debate team is scored on their persuasive arguments and speaking skills . 6. Teamwork and Collaboration Evaluates how well students work in groups . Example: A science lab project is assessed based on how team members contribute . 7. Effort and Work Ethic Recognizes commitment, participation, and perseverance . Example: A teacher notes a student’s dedication in improving their artwork .

13. EXAMPLE PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT TASK

14. Performance-Based Assessment Task for Cooking Task: Prepare a Healthy Breakfast Meal Instructions: Students will work individually or in pairs to prepare a healthy breakfast meal using available ingredients. They must consider nutrition, presentation, and taste in their dish. After cooking, each student/team will present their meal, explaining: The nutritional value of their meal The cooking techniques used Why they chose the specific ingredients The teacher and classmates will taste and evaluate the meal.

15. Criteria Points Description Taste & Flavor 30% Balanced flavors, seasoning, and overall appeal Presentation 20% Creativity in plating and visual appeal Nutritional Value 20% Use of healthy ingredients and balanced meal Cooking Techniques 20% Proper use of cooking methods and safety Time Management 10% Completing the task within the given time ASSESSMENT CRITERIA:

16. OTHER WAYS TO RECORD PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT RESULTS

17. 1. Checklists A simple list of skills or tasks to check off as students complete them. Example: A physical education teacher checks if students perform jumping jacks, push-ups, and sprinting correctly . 2. Rubrics A detailed scoring guide with performance levels. Example: A history teacher uses a rubric to evaluate research papers on clarity, research quality, and argument strength .

18. 3. Anecdotal Records Descriptive notes on student performance and behavior. Example: A music teacher writes observations about a student’s progress in playing the violin . 4. Portfolios A collection of student work showing growth over time. Example: A creative writing class keeps portfolios of essays, poems, and short stories .

19. 5. Video or Audio Recordings Useful for reviewing performances later. Example: A speech teacher records student presentations for detailed analysis. 6. Self and Peer Assessments Encourages students to evaluate their own and others' work. Example: A drama class allows students to review each other’s acting skills . 7. Rating Scales A numerical scale (e.g., 1-5) to assess different aspects of performance. Example: A science fair judge scores projects based on creativity, research, and presentation .
