What is a Performance Based Assessment?
Learning Activity
In general, a performance-based assessment measures students' ability to apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit or units of study. Typically, the task challenges students to use their higher-order thinking skills to create a product or complete a process (Chun, 2010).
Whilst performance-based assessments can vary, the basic characteristics are as follows:
- Complex
- Authentic
- Process/product-oriented
- Open-ended
- Time-bound
