Types of Performance Task

Assessment is an essential and powerful tool in the teaching and learning process. Moreover

Solving a Problem. Critical thinking and problem solving is to capture all the learning targets which shall be aligned to the teaching and learning objectives,activities and assessments**.**

Completing an Inquiry. An inquiry tasks is one in which the students are asked to collect all the data in order to developed by learners.

Determining a position. This task requires to make decision or clarify a position.

Demonstration Task. This tasks shows how students use knowledge and skills to complete well-defined complex tasks.

Developing Exhibits. Exhibits are visual presentations or displays that need little or no explanation from the creators.

Presentation Task. This work is a work or task performed in front of an audience.

Capstone Performance. These are tasks that occur at the end of a program of study and enable students to show knowledge and skills in the context that matches the world of practicing professionals.

With the different types of Performance Tasks, the teacher may decide what and when materials should be used, specifies the instructions for performance, describes the kinds of outcomes towards students should work, tells the students they are being assessed, and gives students opportunities to prepare themselves for the assessment.

Performance task can be performed also in a typical and natural setting, which give students opportunity to perform particular activity which the teacher would like to assess. Here are the different types of performance task:

Strength and Limitations

As we explored the nature of performance assessment and examined the different types of assessment tasks, several authorities discussed the advantages of performance assessment over the assessment.

Performance assessment clearly identifies and clarifies learning targets.

Authentic performance tasks such as real world challenges and situations can closely match with the various complex learning targets. This offers a direct way to assess what students know and can do within the variety of realistic contexts.

Performance assessments allows students to exhibit their own skills,talents, and expertise.

Tasks show integration of the student’s skills, knowledge and abilities, provide challenge and opportunities to exhibit their best creation. This is also assesses the ability “to do” of the students.

Performance assessment allows students advocates constructivist principle of learning.

Students are more engaged in active learning and give more opportunities to demonstrate their learning in different ways in complex tasks. Students use their previous knowledge structures and be actively involved in exploration and inquiry through different tasks.

Performance assessment uses a variety of approaches to student evaluation.

This offers students variety of way of expressing their learning and increases the validity of student’s evaluation. Teachers may share criteria of assessment before the actual evaluation so that students can use this criteria as well.

Performance assessment allows the teachers to explore the main goal and processing of teaching and learning process.

Teachers may reflect and revisit learning targets, curriculum and instructional practices, and standards as they utilize performance -based assessment. They may use a variety of teaching strategies and techniques, and explore how students will use the instructional material and resources given to them.

Designing Meaningful PBA

As we learned the nature of performance-based assessment, its characteristics, types, advantages and limitations, the next step is to design it aligned to the learning goals. Focusing on the knowledge and skills targeted, you will now need to think of some tasks which must be performed authentically. Clearly, comprehensive planning and designing of performance-based assessment should be taken into consideration.

that asks students to select from given alternatives, a performance task presents a situation that calls for learners to apply their learning in context.

Performance tasks are routinely used in certain disciplines, such as visual and performing arts, physical education, and career-technology where performance is the natural focus of instruction. However, such tasks can (and should) be used in every subject area and at all grade levels.

When use as assessment, performance tasks enable teachers to gauge student understanding and proficiency with complex process (e. research, problem solving and writing),not just measure discrete knowledge. They are well suited in integrating subject areas and linking content knowledge with the 21st Century Skills such as critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, communication and technology use.

Performance tasks can be used to engage students in meaningful learning. Since rich performance task establish authentic context that reflect genuine application of knowledge, students are often motivated and engage by such “real world” challenges.

Identifying performance tasks measures the learning target that you are about to assess. Some targets imply that the tasks should be structured; others require unstructured tasks. Below are some questions that should be answered in identifying tasks (Nitko 2011):

What ranges of tasks do the learning targets imply?

Which parts of the tasks should be structured, and to what degree

Does each task require student to perform all the important elements implied by the learning targets?

Do the tasks allow me to assess the achievement dimensions I need to assess?

What must I tell students and its scoring to communicate to them what they need to perform?

Will students with different ethnic and social backgrounds interpret my task appropriately?

Performance needs to be identified so that the students may know what tasks and criteria to be performed. In this case, a task description must be prepared to provide the listing of specification of the tasks and will elicit the desire performance of the students. Task description (Mcmillan 2007) should include the following:

1. Content and skill target to assessed

2. Description of the student activity

3. Group or individual

4. Help allowed

5. Resource needed

6. Teacher Role

7. Administrative process

8. Scoring process

Regardless of whether these are process or product-oriented performance task, clearly stated performance criteria are critical to the success of both instruction and assessment. Criteria in the real essence of performance-based assessment define the targets process and product, guide and help the students on what should be taught and done, and provide a target in assessing the performance of the students.
