The document contrasts traditional assessment with authentic assessment. Traditional assessment typically involves selecting answers through multiple choice, true/false, etc. It is objective, easy to grade, and uses paper/pencil tests. Authentic assessment involves real-world tasks that demonstrate meaningful application of skills. It requires students to make their own answers using higher-order thinking instead of selecting responses. Authentic assessment encourages analytical skills and collaboration over rote learning and passive testing. Examples provided assess identifying shapes, creating shapes from materials, and citing uses of shapes in daily life.

Assessment
and
Authentic Assessment
Ed-10 Assessment in Learning 2

2. Traditional
Assessment
Is commonly associated with pre-
determined choice measures of
assessment such as multiple choice
tasks, fill-in-the-blanks, true or false,
matching type and others. Students
typically recall or select the answers.

3. Characteristics of Traditional
Assessment
 Objective type of test
 Easy to answer
 Easy to check and compare
students outputs
 Easy to administer

4.  Quick, easy grading
 Requires a short answer
 Uses paper-pencil test

5. Authentic Assessment
o “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 2011

6. “Authentic assessment are products
and/or performances correlated with real
life experiences.”
– Newton Public Schools

7. Characteristics of Authentic
Assessment
1. AA requires students to make their
own answers to questions rather than
select from given options as in
multiple choice items, and requires
them to use a range of higher order
thinking skills (HOTS).

8. 2. AA 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.

9. 3. AA changes the role of students as
passive test takers into becoming
active and involved participants in
assessment activities that emphasize
what they are capable of doing instead.

10. Geometry – Visualizing and
Describing the Different Solid Figure
A. Identify the face, edge, and vertex of
a solid figure.
B. Create a solid figure using a pictorial
models.
C. Appreciate the importance of solid
figures in daily life.

11. A. Identify the face, edge, and vertex of a
solid figure.
 Traditional
assessment

12. Direction: Identify what kind of solid figure
does the sentences describe. Choose the
correct answer inside the box.
Cylinder Cone
Sphere Cube
Pyramid Rectangular prism

13. 1.I have 2 bases that are congruent
polygons, sometimes my bases can be
triangle or rectangle. My name is
based on what base I have.
2.I have 6 congruent faces that are
squares. I have 8 vertices and 12
edges.
3.I have 1 circular base and 1 corner
called apex.

14. 4. I have a square base and 4 triangular
faces. I have 5 vertices and 8 edges.
One of my vertex is called apex.
5. I can roll and roll. I have no edges and
vertices but I have a curved face.
6. I have 2 bases that are congruent
circles. I have 3 faces, 1 curved face
and 2 flat faces.

15. B. Create a solid figure using a pictorial
models.
• Authentic Assessment
Direction: Divide the class into 6 groups
and create a solid figure out of the
gives materials.

16. Group 1 – cylinder
Group 2 – cone
Group 3 – cube
Group 4 – rectangular
prism
Group 5 – sphere
Group 6 - pyramid

17. C. Appreciate the importance of solid
figures in daily life.
• Authentic Assessment
Direction: Cite an example of solid figures
that can be found inside your house and
give the importance of each in your daily
life.
