There is no single best assessment method or one that is appropriate for all types of learning, as the best method depends on the lesson objectives. The document discusses various assessment methods and their appropriateness. Traditional methods like written responses and oral questioning assess familiar skills but authentic methods like performance tests better evaluate if students learned intended skills. While most used were written responses and oral questioning, incorporating different methods like performance tests can uniquely assess learning.

Which of the assessment methods are categorized as traditional assessment? Which ones are classified as
authentic assessments?
How does traditional assessment differ from authentic assessment?
My Reflection
1. Written response instruments
Which assessment method/s did I observed to be most often used? Least often used? What could explain
such observations?
If I were to re-teach the same lesson would I assess learning in the same way as my Resource Teachers
did? Explain.
Performance test,written response and oral questioning are the assessment method I observed that most
often used. And the least often used are product rating scales and observations and self-reports as well
because the written response and oral questioning are most familiar.
Yes! Even though they used written response instrument/tool which is most commonly used, they also
used performance test which is one of the authentic assessment tool of assessment. They show the
uniqueness of assessing learning.
Written response instrument and oral questioning are categorized as traditional assessment while the
Performance test and performance checklist are classified as authentic assessment
They are differ because traditional assessment is the most commonly tool used to assess learning and
most familiar, while authentic assessment is the most reliable way to test if the students learned the skill
that the teachers intended to teach and it is by way of hands-on exercises or in actual performance.
Is there such a thing as best assessment method or an assessment method that is appropriate for all types
of learning?
There is no such thing as best as method or an assessment method that is appropriate for all types of
learning. Because it depends only on the lesson objectives, the attainment of which is what the teachers
are assessing.
-it is appropriate to test such as multiple choice, true –false,matching or short answers tests,essays,
examinations and checklists.
a. Multiple choice -obviously don’t use multiple choice to test creative writing. Useful for automated
scoring.
b. True-False-appropriate for all levels of cognitive ability. Usefulfor automated scoring. Useful for item
2. analysis, internal and overtime. Well suited to test recall, comprehension of simple logic or
understanding. Not appropriate to test the ability to read or interpret complex sentences or complex
thoughts.
c. Matching-they are effective when you need to measure the learner’s ability to identify the relationship
or association between similar items.
d. Short answer-the group to be tested is large. Highly reliable test scores must be obtained as efficiently
as possible.
e. Completion test-appropriate when the subject matter is not hard for the students to understand.
f. Essay-time available for test preparation is shorter than the time available for test grading. When the
group to be tested is small and the test should not be reused.
2. Product Rating Scales (for book reports, project, other creative endeavors)
appropriate for teachers because they often tasked to rate products by using rubrics.
3. Performance Tests (Using a microscope, solving Math word problem)
- appropriate when the teachers need to test the ability/performance of their students.
a. Performance checklist
- appropriate for determining whether or not an individual behaves in a certain way when we asked to
complete a particular task.
5. Oralquestioning
6. Observation and self-
reports
