4. Time-Limited
The time spent on a performance-based assessment may be short or long
term. Some projects may take several weeks or over the course of a semester.

3. If interim goals are created and applied correctly, performance assessments allow
students to monitor themselves. This type of metacognition, particularly in a test
environment, is enormously beneficial to higher-level student learning.
4. Any instructors who use performance assessments need to include the standards
they expect and the steps that they must take in applying the knowledge in the
curriculum. This makes “teaching to the test” a positive teaching and learning
strategy.

responses, and in some cases, the variety of possible solutions that need a
greater use of judgment in scoring.
Domains of Performance-based Assessment
The following shows the domains and examples where performance-bases
assessment is applicable.
A. Communication Skills
1. Writing an essay
2. Delivering a speech
B. Psychomotor Skills
1. Holding a pencil properly
2. Following a procedure when dissecting a frog in the laboratory class
3. Focusing a microscope
4. Bisecting a line
C. Athletic Skills
1. Shooting three points in a basketball game
2. Pitching a strike ball in baseball game
3. Diving
D. Concept Acquisition
1. Skills in acquiring, organizing, and using information
E. Affective Skills
1. Mental and behavioral habits and recognition skills.
2. Sharing sports equipment
3. Obeying traffic rules and regulation
Types of Performance-based Assessment
1. Restricted-Response Tasks
a. Intended performances more narrowly defined than on extended-
response tasks
b. (Sometimes) question may begin like a multiple-choice or short-
answer stem, but then asks for an explanation, justification, etc.
c. (Sometimes) may have introductory material like an interpretive
exercise, but then asks for an explanation of the answer, not just
the answer itself
2. Extended-Response Tasks
a. Activities for single assessment may be multiple and varied
(gather data or information, analyze it, and write a report)
b. Activities may extend over a period of time (a series of drafts and
revisions)
c. Products from different students may be different in focus
(different forms of music, different research topics, etc.)

Rubric
A rubric is an assessment tool that specifies the performance expectations for
any kind of student work, particularly those that are not traditional in nature, such as
portfolio, outputs or projects, performances, collaborative work, and research.
Generally, it contains three essential features: criteria or the aspects of performance
that will be assessed; descriptors or the characteristics associated with each criterion;
and performance levels that identify students’ level of mastery within each criterion.
Scoring rubrics are used when judging the quality of the work of the learner on
performance assessments. A descriptive scoring schemes that are developed by
teachers or other evaluators to guide in the analysis of the products or processes of
students’ efforts. It is a rating system by which teachers can determine at what level
of proficiency a student is able to perform a task or display knowledge of a concept.
Different Types of Rubrics
Type of Rubric Description
It contains criteria that are general and can be applied
across tasks. This is most convenient for teachers who
General/Generic Rubric do not have the time and skills in developing different
types of rubric as they can reuse the same rubrics for
several tasks or assignment.
It contains criteria that are unique to a specific
performance task to be assessed. This kind of rubric
Task-Specific Rubric is best for instruction and formative assessment since
it will provide the students feedback on what aspects
of their performance or work need to be improved.
A student’s performance or output is evaluated by
applying all criteria simultaneously, thus providing a
Holistic Rubric
single score based on an overall judgment about the
quality of the student’s work
A student’s work is evaluated by using each criterion
Analytic Rubric separately, thus providing specific feedback about a
student’s performance along several dimensions

2. Aligned. A good rubric should contain criteria that are aligned with the expected
quality of performance for a particular task or assignment, as well as with the
intended level of learning outcomes in the subject.

Checklists, rating scales and rubrics are tools that state-specific criteria and
allow teachers and students to gather information and to make judgements about what
students know and can do in relation to the outcomes. They offer systematic ways of
collecting data about specific behaviors, knowledge, and skills.
The quality of information acquired through the use of checklists, rating scales
and rubrics is highly dependent on the quality of the descriptors chosen for
assessment. Their benefit is also dependent on students’ direct involvement in the
assessment and understanding of the feedback provided.
1. Use checklists, rating scales, and rubrics concerning outcomes and standards.
2. Use simple formats that can be understood by students and that will
communicate information about student learning to parents.
3. Ensure that the characteristics and descriptors listed are clear, specific, and
observable.
4. Encourage students to assist with constructing appropriate criteria. For
example, what are the descriptors that demonstrate levels of performance in
problem-solving?
5. Ensure that checklists, rating scales, and rubrics are dated to track progress
over time.
6. Leave space to record anecdotal notes or comments.
7. Use generic templates that become familiar to students and to which various
descriptors can be added quickly, depending on the outcome(s) being
assessed.

8. Provide guidance to students to use and create their own checklists, rating
scales and rubrics for self-assessment purposes and as guidelines for goal
setting.
Teachers can use rating scales to record observations and students can use
them as self-assessment tools. Teaching students to use descriptive words, such
as always, usually, sometimes and never helps them pinpoint specific strengths
and needs. Rating scales also give students information for setting goals and
improving performance. On a rating scale, the descriptive word is more important than
the related number. The more precise and descriptive the words for each scale point,
the more reliable the tool.
Effective rating scales use descriptors with clearly understood measures, such
as frequency. Scales that rely on subjective descriptors of quality, such
as fair, good or excellent, are less effective because the single adjective does not
contain enough information on what criteria are indicated at each of these points on
the scale.

Summary
Performance-based assessment is a process-based evaluation of student skills
based on how they learn. It fits in with formative and benchmark assessments and can
also be used as a summative assessment. Performance-based assessment engages
students, simulates the authentic application of skills, and provides opportunities for
failure and learning from specific feedback.
The advantages of performance-based assessment are can assess complex
learning outcomes not measured by other means; can assess the process as well as
product; can communicate instructional goals that relate to real-world skills; can
constitute good instruction, not just assessment; implement new "constructivist"
approaches to learning and self-evaluation and engaging (more active and realistic).
