Authentic assessment
Authentic assessment evaluates student learning through real-life tasks rather than traditional tests. It emphasizes the constructive nature of learning and allows students to demonstrate knowledge through collaboration and real-world application. Authentic assessment features include real-world relevance, opportunities to construct or apply learning, reflection, collaboration, and being student-structured. The process involves defining learning objectives, measuring outcomes, comparing outcomes to objectives, and redesigning programs to improve learning. Authentic assessment in math can assess concepts, processes, and procedures through problems, explanations, models, and skill proficiency demonstrated across multiple examples. Rubrics are used to identify how students will be assessed based on objectives and performance characteristics.
