ASSESSMENT is an essential and
powerful tool in the teaching and
learning process. Moreover, it is a
process of obtaining data with which
we could measure student competence
and learning outcomes.

Authentic assessment has four basic characteristics:

• The task should be representative of performance
in the field.
• Attention should be paid to teaching and
learning the criteria for assessment.
• Self-assessment should play a great role.
• When possible, students should present their
Best uses of Authentic Assessment
(Mueller, 2010):
1. Authentic assessments are direct measures.
2. Authentic assessments capture constructive
nature of learning.
3. Authentic assessments integrate teaching,
learning, and assessment.
4. Authentic assessments provide multiple paths
