Alternative Assessment: Analysis


In order to be effective, alternative assessments must require the students to demonstrate knowledge and skills and must integrate various disciplines. Thinking skills are addressed together with psychomotor and cognitive skills.


In my first draft, clearly, it was a far cry for the required assessment format. Absence does really make work of a lesser quality :)


That being said, I was able to revise my performance based assessment and process oriented assessment to involve engaging activities with a clearer description and instruction/guidelines. Also, the rubric formed is easier to understand and respond better to the task at hand. Moreover, I believe that the knowledge, skills and cognitive aspects are targeted. It is also more tied up with the traditional test which clearly indicates the subject matter I wish to address in teaching the students.
