Phase Of Authentic

Assessment
Authentic Assessment
 a set of methods or techniques for
assessing the academic achievement of
a student that includes activities
requiring the application of acquired
knowledge and skills to real-world
situations and that is often seen as an
alternative to standardized testing.
- to improve student learning
- assessment achieves this purpose by gathering pieces
of evidence of student performance over a period of
time.
- written works, journal entries, oral presentation,
research paper results, essays, story writing and
examination results.
- “Closing the loop” encourages the use of assessment
results for further improvement.
--- is demonstrated in a diagram of these phases
adopted from Jon Mueller (2011) of North Central
College Nashville, Illinois.
 In general, outcome assessment goes
through five (5) phases
1. Identifying the most important knowledge of outcomes performance
students should be able to demonstrate as a result of their learning activities.

2. Determining the criteria and standards of outcomes performance and the

acceptable evidence that may be presented as proof of outcomes
attainment.

3. Implementation of the supporting activities that will facilitate the attainment

of the desired student learning outcomes.

4. Measuring the extent at which the students are attaining the desired learning
outcomes.

5. Interpreting the assessment results and evaluating whether they indicate

attainment of the desired outcomes and utilizing them for continuous
improvement.
Phase I = Identify learner outcome.
Phase II = Design a criteria and acceptable evidences of
performance.
Phase III = Develop supporting learning experiences and
instructional activities.
Phase IV = Implement assessment strategies.
Phase V = Evaluate results to determine attainment of outcome
and ensure continuous improvement.
Examples of Authentic Assessment Activities:

1. Writing stories and reports

2. Solving mathematical problems that

have real-world implications

3. Performing particular
skills/competencies
 How does Authentic Assessment Differ from
Traditional Assessment (TA)

Traditional Assessment – is commonly associated with pre-determined

choice measures of assessment such as multiple choice tasks, fill-in-the-
blanks, true-false, matching type and others and springs from the
educational philosophy which involves the following practices:

1. A school’s mission is to develop useful citizens.

2. To be useful citizen, one must possess a certain body of
knowledge and skills.
3. The school is entrusted to teach this body if knowledge and
skills;
4. To determine if the students have acquired these knowledge and
skills, the school must test the students in these knowledge and
skills.
Authentic Assessment- on the other hand is grounded in the
following principles and practices:

1. A school's mission is to develop useful citizens;

2. To be useful citizens, one has to be capable of performing useful

tasks in the real-world;

3. The school’s duty id to help students develop proficiency in

performing the tasks that they will be required to perform after
graduation in the work place;

4. The school must then require students to perform tasks that

duplicate or initiate real-world situations.
