What is Authentic Assessment?
A form of assessment in which students are
asked to perform real – world tasks that
demonstrate meaningful application of
essential knowledge and skills. John Mueller
What is Authentic Assessment?
Authentic assessment call upon the examinee
to demonstrate specific skills and
competencies; that is, to apply the skills and
knowledge they have mastered. Richard J.
Stiggins
What does Authentic Assessment
look like?
An authentic assessment usually includes a
task for students to perform and a rubric by
which their performance on the task will be
evaluated.
Phases of Authentic Assessment
Phase V
Evaluate results to
determine attainment
of outcome and
ensure continuous
improvement.
Phase II
Determine the
criteria and
acceptable evidence
of performance.
Phase IV
Implement
assessment
strategies.
Phase III
Implementing
supporting learning
experiences and
instructional activities.
Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
Authentic assessment starts with clear and
definite criteria of performance made known
to the students.
Authentic assessment is a criterion –
referenced rather than norm – referenced and
so it identifies strengths and weaknesses, but
does not compare students nor rank their
levels of performance
Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
Authentic assessment requires the students
to make their own answers the questions
rather than select from given options as in
multiple choice items, and requires them to
use a range of higher order thinking skills.
Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
Authentic assessment often emphasizes
performance therefore students are required
to demonstrate their knowledge, skills or
competencies in appropriate situations. It
does not rely on ability to recall facts or
memorize details, instead students are asked
to demonstrate skills and concepts they have
learned.
Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
Authentic assessment change the role of the
students as passive test takers into becoming
active and involved participants in
assessment activities that emphasize what
they are capable of doing instead test to
measure students’ skills or retained facts has
come under scrutiny because of the limitation
encountered in determining the students’
capability to utilize their knowledge and skills
in work and professional practices.
Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
Authentic assessment encourages both teacher
and students to determine their rate of progress
in cooperatively attaining the desired student
learning outcomes.
Authentic assessment does not encourage rote
learning and passive taking of tests; instead,
students are required to demonstrate analytical
skills, ability to integrate what they learn,
creativity, and ability to work in a group, skills
in oral and written communications.
Why Use Authentic Assessment?
Authentic assessments are direct measures
Authentic assessments capture constructive
nature of learning
Authentic assessments integrate teaching,
learning and assessment
Authentic assessment provides multiple paths
to demonstration
Steps on how to create authentic assessments
Identify the standards
Select a authentic task
Identify the criteria for the task
Create the rubric
Step 1. Identify the standards
Standards like goals are statements of what
students know and be able to do. However,
standards are typically narrow in a scope and
more amenable to assessment than goals
Step 2. Select an Authentic Task
Find a way students can demonstrate that
they are fully capable of meeting the
standard. The language of a well – written
standard can spell out what a task should ask
a students to do to demonstrate their
mastery of it.
Step 3. Identify the criteria for the task
Characteristics of good criterion
Clearly stated
Brief
Observable
Statement of behavior
Written in a language
students understand
Step 4. Create a rubric
Once you have identified the criteria you want
to look for as indicators of good
performance, you next decide whether to
consider the criteria analytically or
holistically.
Basic difference between traditional assessment
and authentic assessment
Attributes Traditional Authentic Assessment
Assessment
1. Action / options Selecting of response Performing a task
2. Setting Contrived / imagined Simulation / real life
3. Method Recall / recognition Construction /
applications
4. Focus Teacher – structured Student – structured
5. Outcome Indirect evidence Direct evidence

Advantages of Authentic Assessment
Provides teachers with the true picture of how
and where their students are in their learning;
gives more information about their students’
strengths, weaknesses, needs and
preferences that aid them in adjusting
instruction towards enhanced teaching ad
learning.
Advantages of Authentic Assessment
Provides students many alternative/ways to
demonstrate best what they have learned;
offers a wide array of interesting and
challenging assessment activities.
Assessment is integrated with instructions
Reveals and enriches the students’ high level
cognitive skills.
Advantages of Authentic Assessment
Enhances students’ ability to apply skills and
knowledge to real life situations, taps high
order cognitive and problem solving skills.
Student – structured
Oftentimes involves students working in
groups hence promotes teamwork,
collaborative and interpersonal skills.
Reduces anxiety and create a more relaxed
happy atmosphere that boost learning.
Advantages of Authentic Assessment
Time flexible
Focuses on the growth of the learner
Learners express their understanding of the
learning content using their preferred
multiple forms of intelligences.
Disadvantages of Authentic
Assessment
Harder to evaluate
Time consuming
Susceptible to unfairness, subjectivity,
lacking objectively, reliability, and validity if
not properly guided by well – defined or clear
criteria.
Authentic Assessment Tools
If we want students to develop Such
competencies as analyzing, interpreting,
synthesizing and evaluating information, we
must be able to assess those skills in relevant
settings and context. Authentic assessment
makes use of three modes of assessment.
Observation
Performance Sample
Actual Performance
Observation – Based Assessment
Tools
To make observation – based assessment systematic
and objective. Diane Hart (1994) suggested the
following guidelines:
1. Observe not only one but all the studnets.
2. Observation must be frequent and regular as
possible.
3. Observations must be recorded in writing.
4. Observations should cover both routine and
exceptional occurrences.
5. Reliability of observation records is enhanced if
multiple observations are gathered and synthesized.
Developmental Checklist
Is an observation tool which requires the
teacher recorder to describe the traits or
learning behaviors being assessed.
Interview Sheet
Is another observation tool which is also
called the conference recording form.
Interview sheets consist of list of questions
the teacher intends to ask and space for
recording the student’s answers.
Performance Samples Assessment
Tools
A portfolio is a compilation of pieces of
evidence of an individual’s skills, ideas,
interests, and accomplishments.
The portfolio serves the following purposes:
a. The teacher can assess the growth and
development of the students as various levels.
b. Parents are informed of the progress of their
children in school.
c. Instructional supervisors are able to evaluate
the strengths and weaknesses of the academic
program.
Performance Assessment Tools
Performance checklist consist of list of
behaviors that make up a certain type of
performance.
Oral Questioning
Is an appropriate assessment method for
actual performance when objectives are: (a) to
assess the student's stock knowledge and (b)
to determine the student’s ability to
communicate ideas in coherent verbal
sentences.
Observation and Self – Reports
Observation and self – reports need a tally
sheet as a device when used by the teacher to
record the frequency of student behaviors,
activities or remarks.
Observation and self – reports are useful
supplementary assessment methods when
used in conjunction with oral questioning and
performance tests.
Thank you for listening
and
God Bless!!!
