Performance Assessment
Performance assessment is a task students must perform instead of than write a test. Performance assessments consist of open-ended response exercises, extended tasks and portfolios. In an open-ended response exercise, students describe their observations from an experiment or enacting historical events. An extended task may include drafting a story or conducting and explaining the results of an experiment, in particular one that requires a fair amount of time. Portfolios highlight a student’s best work from a term or course and incorporate various performance-based pieces.

Performance assessment involves students taking part in skill building activities rather than answering questions about how to perform those skills on paper. Features of a performance assessment task are: a) real-world scenarios, b) authentic and a complex process, c) higher-order thinking and d) transparent evaluation criteria. Performance assessment is a good opportunity for professors to personalize their courses and can act as an effective formative assessment when combined with other forms of assessment.

What is diagnostic assessment?
To gauge students’ knowledge, skills, strength, and weaknesses beforehand.
**The purpose of diagnostic assessment:**
To help identify problems with a certain instruction style and provide insights into improvement that can be done in the quality of delivery. Diagnostic assessments in education help educators understand their students’ strengths, weaknesses, knowledge level, and skillset prior to beginning instruction. Diagnostic assessment examples include pre-assessment tests that give you a snapshot of or diagnose knowledge to screen students.

-
Formal Assessment: occur before and during the learning process. Examples include: quizzes. exit cards, journal prompts, homework & classroom discussions.
Pre-Assessment: takes place before the learning process. Checks students knowledge & understanding. It also can be used to determine interests and learning profile.
-
Summative Assessment: Occurs at key segments of the learning cycle or at the end of the learning process.It is usually graded.
The purpose of a summative assessment is to provide evidence of the degree to which a student has mastered the knowledge, understanding and skills of the unit.
Some examples examples include tests, projects, demonstrations, presentations and performance tasks.
Assessments for learning: includes clear goals for the learning activity, reflects a belief that students can improve and involves teachers, students and parents reflecting on evidence.
Assessments for learning encourage self-assessment and peer assessment as part of the regular classroom routines.
-
Assessment as learning: encourages students to take responsibility for their own learning, involves teachers and students creating learning goals to encourage growth and development.Lastly, it helps students understand next steps in learning as well as to select on learning.
Examples include self-assessment cards, reflection journals with prompting questions and peer assessment cards.
-
Assessment of learning ( formally known as summative assessments) : assess what students have learnt. This assessment promotes ranking or sorting of students. There is less emphasis on student learning.
-
Norm-referenced assessments (standardised assessments): compare a student's knowledge or skills to the knowledge or skills of the norm group.
Norm groups can narrowed down by age, English Language Learner status, socioeconomic level and.race/ethnicity
Examples include: California Achievement Test, Iowa Test of Basic skills, Standford Achievement Test and TerraNova.
Criterion-referenced tests: compare a person's knowledge or skills against a predetermined standard, learning goal, performance level or other criterion.
With criterion referenced tests, each person's performance is compared directly to the standard, without considering how other students perform on the test.
These tests often use cut scores to place students into categories such as basic, proficient and advanced.
