Traditional assessment and non traditional assessment

Traditional assessments typically involve multiple choice, true/false, or matching questions and evaluate students through ranked scores and grades. They are reliable and easy to administer but encourage low-level thinking. Non-traditional assessments like performance and portfolio evaluations directly observe students' applied skills and require higher-order thinking. They integrate written and applied measures to demonstrate proficiency in real-world tasks and emphasize cooperation over competition. While traditional tests enhance learning through understanding, non-traditional assessments enhance learning by requiring students to communicate interconnections among concepts and procedures.

What is TraditionalAssessment? • A type of assessment in which the students choose their answer from a given list of choices. Examples of this type of assessment are multiple – choice test, standard true/false test, matching type test, and fill- in – the blank test.
Example of Traditional Assessment (Quiz)
Strengths of TraditionalAssessment • Reliability • Validity • Easy to administer • Uses a checking key • Uses low-level thinking
Weaknessesof TraditionalAssessment • Individualist • Competition
Purpose ofTraditionalAssessment • Evaluate students • Rank students • Assign final grade
TraditionalAssessment Tools • True/false tests • Multiple choice tests • Essays and short answer test
Non – Traditional Assessments • Also known as Alternative assessment, is any type of assessment in which students create response to a question or task. • It includes performance assessment and portfolio assessment
PerformanceAssessment • Is the direct, systematic observation of an actual student performance and the rating of that performance according to previous performance criteria. • It requires Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
Portfolio Assessment • Portfolio assessment is a purposeful collection of student work designed to showcase a student’s progress toward, and achievement of, course – specific learning objectives. This provide evidence of what student can actually do.
Example of Portfoilo
Traditional Assessment Non – Traditional Assessment Generally relies on forced – choice written measures Promotes integration of various written and performance measures Relies on proxy measures of student learning to represent target skills Relies on direct measures of target skills Encourages memorization of correct answers Encourages divergent thinking in generation possible answers Goal is to measure acquisition of knowledge Goal is to enhance development of meaningful skills Curriculum directs assessment Assessment directs curriculum Emphasis on developing a body of knowledge Emphasis on ensuring proficiency at real – world tasks Promotes “what” knowledge Promotes “how” knowledge Emphasizes competition Emphasizes cooperation Targets simplistic skills or tasks in a concrete, singular fashion Prepares students for ambiguities and exceptions that are found in realistic problem settings Priority on summative outcomes or Priority on the learning sequence or
Conclusion The traditional assessment can enhance learning when the question on the test are carefully crafted to express the learner’s understanding and misunderstanding while the non traditional assessment on the other hand can enhance learning by requiring the student to communicate the interconnection of coherent among concepts and procedures.
