DR. JORELYN P. CONCEPCION
Graduate School Professor
• It is not our classroom assessments that draw all
of the news coverage and editorial comment. All
the visibility and political power honors do to our
large-scale standardized tests. Nevertheless,
anyone who has taught knows that it is classroom
assessments – not standardized tests – that
provide the energy that fuels the teaching and
learning engine. For this reason, our classroom
assessments absolutely must of high quality.

Stiggins 1997
• CONTENT STANDARDS
• specify what students should know and be able
to do
• Establish what should be learned in various
subjects
• Emphasis on learning content more through
critical thinking and problem-solving strategies
than through rote learning of discrete facts.

Standards
• PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

• Seek to answer the question, “How good is


good enough?”
• Define a satisfactory level of learning
• Indicate both the nature of the evidence that is
accepted as documentation of student
achievement as well as the quality of student
performance necessary to satisfy the
performance standard

Standards
• PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

Standards
Standards-based
Instruction
• STANDARDS-BASED ASSESSMENT is
the process of determining if and to what
degree a student can demonstrate in
context, his/her understanding and ability
relative to identified standards of learning.

Standards-based
Instruction
Performance-based
Assessment
• AUTHENTIC ASSESSMENT
• ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT

Require students to GENERATE rather than SELECT a response.

acknowledged performance.
standards or goals • By clearly identifying the
assessments and criteria, teachers are
forced to think through the teaching
and learning process.

Effects on Teaching when


Standards are Used
Students know criteria

• Students know the criteria of evaluation with standards-


based instruction.
• The criteria for scoring the assessment is given when
instruction begins so that students can work toward
reaching and attaining these without false starts or
wasted efforts.
• Students can use peer evaluation or self-evaluation
techniques to compare themselves with stated goals.

Effects on Teaching when


Standards are Used
Assessment linked to instruction

• With performance-based assessment, teaching and


assessment are intertwined.

• By creating criteria for assessing various aspects of


student performance, teachers can assess game play
skills while students are continuing to learn.

Effects on Teaching when


Standards are Used
Real-world connections

• To make assessment more “real-world” , identify an


audience outside the realm of the school (not only the
teacher)

• By creating an outside audience for the assessment,


teachers broaden the scope and increase the importance
of the assessment.

Effects on Teaching when


Standards are Used
Higher-level thinking skills

• HOTS: Analysis, synthesis, evaluation (Blooms


Taxonomy)

• Performance-based assessments give students


opportunity to develop these skills.

• Example: A game play can develop the student’s ability to analyze


opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and create plays to give her
team an advantage.

Effects on Teaching when


Standards are Used
• the process of describing,
collecting, recording,
scoring, and interpreting
information about
learning.

What is assessment?
• Using assessment
information to make
judgment on such things
as:
• Have students achieve the
goals set for them?
• Have they passed the
standards set for them?

What is evaluation?
• Written Tests
• Primarily used to assess
understanding of movement
concepts, principles, strategies,
and tactics
• Too often measure factual
information
• Rarely address a student’s
ability to think critically

Traditional Assessments
• Fitness Tests
• Used to evaluate the
various components of
fitness (cardiovascular
endurance, muscular
strength, muscular
endurance, flexibility,
body composition)

Traditional Assessment
Tools
• PAR-Q+
• The PAR-Q is a simple
self-screening tool that
is typically used by
fitness trainers or
coaches to determine the
safety or possible risks
of exercising based on
your health history,
current symptoms, and
risk factors.

Other Tools
• Skill Tests
• Used to measure a student’s
• ability to perform a given
skill usually in a closed
environment
• Competency in motor skills
and movement patterns

Traditional Assessment
Tools
• No assessment given
• Grade is determined through
wearing of complete PE uniform,
attendance and a difficult-to-define
category called EFFORT

Traditional Assessment
Tools
• Is any assessment
strategy that is not the
standardized pencil and paper
test. (Kovar, 2009)
• a task students perform that
allows them to
DEMONSTRATE what they
have learned as well as the
thinking processes they
employed in completing the
task.

Performance-based Assesment
Performance-based
Assessment
• Require the presentation of worthwhile or
meaningful tasks that are designed to be
representative of performance in the field
Performance-based
Assessment
• Characteristics
• Require the presentation of worthwhile
meaningful tasks
• Emphasize higher-level thinking skills
• Articulate criteria in advance
• Expect students to present their work publicly
• Criteria firmly embedded in the curriculum
• Process and product of learning are both
important
 For learning
 Intent is to increase student
Formative learning
Assessment  Used to plan future lessons
 Allow multiple opportunities
to demonstrate learning
 Typically given more than
once

Performance-based Assessment
 of learning
 Given at the conclusion of
student learning
 Typically associated with
Summative giving a grade
Assessment  No chance to improve
scores or learn from
feedback to improve
performance

Performance-based Assessment
• Require students to generate rather than select
a response. (Lund and Kirk, 2002)
• Two essential parts:
1. the performance tasks or exercises that
students are to do; and
2. the criteria by which to judge the product or
performance.

Performance-based
Assessment
• A scenario developed
by the teacher usually
to assess the affective
domain
• Presents a solution to
a real-world problem

Role play
• Provides many teachable moments
• Can make students aware of situations that are
problematic to other students
• Very public events
• Reflections are usually written after the
performance
• SAMPLE ROLE PLAY SITUATIONS

Role play
• Is an output or product
of a student’s
knowledge on a topic.
• Calls for students to
create a concrete
product of knowledge
submitted for
evaluation
• SAMPLE

Project
• A written report of a
student’s reaction to
what is happening
• is an opportunity for
students to reflect on
what is happening.

JOURNAL
1.Provide a writing prompt
2.Use “free write” once in a while
3.Do not grade actual feelings
4.Grade completion, correct grammar and
spelling, demonstration of cognitive content
SAMPLE

JOURNAL writing guidelines


• Collections of artifacts
that when considered
collectively,
demonstrate student
competency/mastery or
deficiency in a subject
area.

PORTFOLIOS
• Purposeful, integrated collection of actual exhibits and work
samples showing effort, progress or achievement.
• A broad, general picture of student learning. Used by artists,
journalist, photographers, models
• Use of multidimensional assessments
• Documentation of student progress, improvement,
achievement of goals
• Student choice
• With a self-evaluation and reflection of the learning process
• Spotlight student achievement

PORTFOLIOS
• Working Portfolio
• Showcase Portfolio
• Thematic Portfolio
• Multiyear Portfolio
• Group Portfolio
• Electronic Portfolio
• SAMPLE PORTFOLIO

Portfolio Assessments
• Often used as
culminating activities
• All instruction is geared
towards this
• Examples are class
gymnastics meet, a
recital, zumba
• SAMPLE

STUDENT performances
• Performance tasks that
can be completed in a
single class period or
less that usually involve
a psychomotor activity

EVENT TASKS
• Could evaluate
problem-solving,
cooperation, team-
building skills

EVENT TASKS
EVENT TASK
• Assessment done
while students are
engaged in playing a
sport
• Can assess motor
skills, cognitive
knowledge, affective
domain.
