- 3. INTRODUCTION Alternative assessment are non- traditional ways to evaluate student learning that focus on deeper understanding and skill over memorization. They can include projects, presentations, portfolios, and multimedia, and can be more flexible than traditional exams and quizzes.
- 4. THE FOLLOWING ARE FEATURES OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT (SILVESTRE TIPAY 2009. 58): 1. Assessment is based on authentic tasks that demonstrate learners' ability to accomplish communication goals 2. Instructor and learners focus on communication, not on right and wrong answers:
- 5. 3. Learners help to set the criteria for successful completion of communication tasks and; 4. Learners have opportunitiestoassess themselves and their peers. THE FOLLOWING ARE FEATURES OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT (SILVESTRE TIPAY 2009. 58):
- 6. While the practice of assessing learning using traditional methods like paper-and-pencil tests is stil common in many classrooms, there is an emerging trend toward the use of alternative assessment or assessment using the non-traditional methods, which in theory and practice can capture learning targets and learning outcomes in more authentic ways. Indeed, the use of alternative assessment can lead to more authentic assessment of leaming. In comparison, traditional assessments are viewed as less authentic types of assessment
- 7. Performance assessment refers to assessing student learning by requiring a student to perform a task or develop a product as a demonstration of one's learning. The focus of the assessment is on providing opportunity for the students to apply what they have learned through task performance and/or product creation. ANOTHER FORMS OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT
- 8. Portfolio assessment pertains to students' construction and use of portfolios in a purposeful and systematic manner in order to document their progress in the attainment of learning targets. is a collection of learning and performance artifacts by a student and is typically accompanied with personal narratives and reflections. ANOTHER FORMS OF ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT
- 9. Other alternative strategies for assessing learning are assessment of non- cognitive learning outcomes through performance rubrics (for psychomotor outcomes) and rating scales and checklists (for affective or dispositional outcomes).
- 10. The use of rubrics and scales may also provide opportunities for using self- assessment and peer assessment which allow for a more comprehensive assessment of student learning and performance in the classroom.
