Report about Performance Based assessment

1. Using performance tasks for personhood education Thelma Tamayo Tualla Reporter

2. Learning Objectives : At the end of the module, the learners are expected to: Clearly explain what performance task assessment is Enumerate and explain the basic types of performance assessments, and Prepare a simple step by step performance assessment plan

3. “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree , it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” -Albert Einstein

4. Question: As an educator, is it important to conduct assessment? Why?

5. It is important for educators to conduct assessment. Professionals in the academic community have differing ideas on how to implement assessment strategies. Many still believe that traditional assessments are more effective but more are moving toward alternative assessment

6. The basic examples of alternative assessment are performance based assessment and portfolio .

7. Five main points why teacher should employ performance based assessment by Reeves (2000) Its focus on complex learning The use of higher order thinking and problem solving skills among students Responses are active and come from a wide range of perspectives Task require several steps to accomplish The time and effort committed to the whole process

8. Activity Directions: Divide yourselves into four groups. Each group will be given a pen and a strips of paper. At the “go” signal, write any fact about traditional assessment in the strips of paper. Do this for 2mins only. What are the main features of traditional assessment based on your groups answers? What are some of the criticism that educator say about traditional assessment?

9. Activity 2 Directions: Divide yourselves into two groups. Choose 2 representatives in each group. One representative will be blindfolded whereas the other will serve as a guide in solving the puzzle. Observers should take note how the guide helps the blindfolded student.

10. To the blindfolded student: How did it feel when you cannot use all of your senses to solve the puzzle? To the guide: Was it difficult to help the blindfolded student? Why or Why not? To the observer: How can you relate the activity to the process of assessment?

11. What is Performance Task Assessment ? Performance is a series of responses that targets changing the environment in specified ways (Fitzpatrick and Morrison, 1971). It can also be defined as “examinees behaviour or actions” or “the executions of an action” (Gitomer,1993).

12. Performance task/Performance based assessment (PBA ) is a summative assessment strategy that targets students to determine if they have the skills to apply what they have learned in real life settings. It is also known as project based or authentic assessment.

13. A well-designed performance task is one that allows students to: be engaged in applying what they have learned to real world problems Evaluates different approaches in solving problems Provides reasoning for the solutions they have thought of.

14. Four parts of performance assessment Purpose for the assessment Prompt Response demand Rating performance

15. Purpose for the assessment Why is there a need to conduct the assessment? This part should examine the reason why assessment needs to be done. This may address students knowledge, skills and values.

16. Prompt This part would lead students to perform a task. This can be in a form of questions or statements inquiry.

17. Response demand This pertains to the actual task students need to perform, usually based on prompts. Students can either be asked to perform using visual, oral, written form, or be involved in long term projects.

18. Rating Performances Educators need to be guided on how students will be graded after completion of the task.

19. The Four critical elements of PBA Validations Secured assessments Classroom embedded assessments Composite records

20. Validation Refers to the decision of teachers about whether the student has met, has not met or exceeded what was directed by the curriculum. Normally comes from various sources of data such as direct observation, self-assessment and others.

21. Secured assessments Wherein the students worked in a controlled conditions with no assistance from anyone. Example: the national standardized test and college entrance examination

22. Classroom embedded assessments Assessment that are done in the classroom to validate student’s learning on specific unit or course. This include essays, performance test and others wherein students need to communicate directly with the teacher.

23. Composite records Students achievements such as actual work samples, scoring guides and self assessment are documented to serves as proof of the knowledge, skills and progress they acquired overtime.

24. Characteristics of a Performance Task The choices in selecting tasks are provided for the students. Students should make use of the core knowledge content and key processes. A scoring system is essential in conducting performance assessment.

25. The task should transcend outside the classroom. It should be wisely planned to target what it specifically needs to measure.

26. Step by step process for building Performance Task Have a clear target. Design and describe context as creatively as possible. Write a short description of the task. Rewrite the task (clear & brief) in a way that students can easily follow.

27. Have your scoring device prepared. Create or borrow one. Device a step by step work plan for the students to follow . Introduce the task . Provide examples of the task (good and not so good).

28. Allow the students to review the task, discuss and answer questions. Direct the students to begin the task with coaching as needed. Score the task while taking notes of possible revisions for improvement.

29. How to Assess Students’ Progress and Achievement Using Performance Task

30. The Following is a list of the Types of Performance Task according to Lewin and Shoemaker (2011) Visual Representation This types of performance task makes use of mostly visual/graphic material but may also include some written text. (Ex. Comic strips, graphic organizers, posters & Electronic presentation such as digital movies)

31. Written outputs This is the most common type of performance assessment. Paper and pencil tests, essays, training manuals, reports, stories, and magazine articles are some forms of written outputs.

32. Oral Presentation Many students share their understanding best by communicating however, most of them are terrified when speaking in front of the class. Using oral presentations as performance assessment doesn’t just refer to merely speaking. Instead, they are encouraged in oral discourse. (Ex. Formal debates, press conference & round robin mini speeches)

33. Large scale projects or performances . This task also called substantive synthesis which is described as maxi task because it extends to about a week or more. (Ex. Dance culminating activities, research project, science experiments)

34. Advantages of Performance Assessment Any field/profession posses performance challenges in which students can be exposed to using authentic assessment. It will teach the students what performing a subject looks like in this situation.

35. It can allow educators to examine the how and why a student is experiencing some challenges as compared to only the what of standardized test.

36. Compared to standardized tests, PBAs can also give more timely feedbacks which allows teachers to adjust their teaching based on what they gathered from the students results.

37. PBAs are also more student centered and has the ability to target higher order thinking and other 21 st century skills.

38. Types of Performance Assessment Product Performance Performance & Product

39. Products This includes essays, term papers, laboratory reports, drawings, mathematics problems & completion of a graph or diagram.

40. Performance Examples of this are oral assessments and demonstrations, which highlight the process and not just the product.

41. Performance and Products This combination can be found in performance assessments such as the student’s development of hypothesis, planning and execution of experiments , and summarizing findings in science experiments.

42. Quiz: Enumeration What are the four parts of performance assessment? State the four elements of Performance-based assessment. What are the types of performance task according to Lewin and Shoemaker? Give at least three advantages of performance assessment. Enumerate the three types of performance assessment.

43. That’s all. Thank you!
