PART 2

• • Examples of selected response type of tests are alternate

  response (True or False, Yes or No, √ or X); matching type and the

  multiple choice type.
• • Examples of constructed type of tests are the completion

  type (fill-in-the-blanks), short answer, the essay test and problem

  solving.
• • Examples of authentic assessment tools are the

  demonstrations of what have been learned by either a productor a performance.

  
• • Examples of products are reports, papers, research projects, and reviews.
• • Examples of performance tests are executing steps of

  tango, delivering a keynote speech, opening a computer,

  demonstration teaching, etc.
• Portfolio falls under non-paper-and-pencil test. A portfolio is a purposeful collection of student work or documented performance (e.g. video of dance) that tells the story of student achievement or growth.
• Types of Portfolio

  • Portfolios can be classified according to purpose. According

  to purpose, portfolios can be classified either as 1) working

  portfolios; 2) display portfolios; or 3) assessment portfolios.
• • A working portfolio is so named because it is a project “in

  the works”, containing work in progress as well as finished

  samples of work.
• A growth portfolio demonstrates an individual’s

  development and growth over time. Development can be

  focused on academic or thinking skills, content knowledge, self knowledge, or any area that is important for your purposes. For this reason, it is also called development portfolio.
•  A display portfolio is the display of the student’s best work. Students exhibit their best work and interpret its meaning. Showcase portfolio demonstrates the highest level of achievement attained by the student.
• • The main function of an assessment portfolio is to document what a student has learned based on standards and competencies expected of students at each grade level. The standards and competencies of the

  curriculum then will determine what students select for their portfolios.
• • For example, if the standard or competency specifies persuasive, narrative, and descriptive writing, an assessment portfolio should include examples of each type of writing. Similarly, if the curriculum calls for technical skill such as the use of powerpoint in report presentation, then the display portfolio will include entries documenting the reporting process with the use of powerpoint.
• Scoring Rubrics 

  • A rubric is a coherent set of criteria for student’s work that includes descriptions of levels of performance quality on the criteria.

  The main purpose of rubrics is to assess performance made evident in processes and products. It can serve as a scoring guide that seeks to evaluate a student’s performance in many different tasks based on a full range of criteria rather than a single numerical score.
• • Rubrics have two major parts: coherent sets of criteria and descriptions of level of performance for these criteria

  (Brookhart, 2013). There are two types: 1) analytic and 2)

  holistic.
• In an analytic rubric, each criterion (dimension, trait)

  is evaluated separately. In a holistic rubric, all criteria

  (dimensions, traits) are evaluated simultaneously.
• An analytic rubric is good for formative assessment because if you need an overall score for grading, you can combine the scores. In a holistic rubric, scoring is faster than with analytic rubric. It is good for summative assessment
• Assessment Methods and Multiple Intelligences

  • Learners have multiple intelligences and varied learning styles. Students must be given the opportunity to demonstrate learning that is aligned to their multiple intelligences and to their learning styles.
• • Like most teachers, you're probably familiar with Howard Gardner's theory on multiple intelligences: that there are eight different types of intelligence and that these intelligences guide the way we learn and process information.
•  To involve students in identifying their multiple intelligences, invite them to complete The

  Connell Multiple Intelligence Questionnaire for Children.
