-Task #2

1. In traditional assessment student’s attention will understandably be focused on and

limited to what is on the test. It refers to conventional methods of testing, usually
standardized and use pen and paper with multiple-choice, true or false or matching type
test items. In contrast, authentic assessments allow more student choice and
construction in determining what is presented as evidence of proficiency. It refers to
assessments wherein students are asked to perform real-world tasks that demonstrate
meaningful application of what they have learned.
2. Authentic assessment has a number of weaknesses. It can be addressed by the teacher
providing multiple paths to demonstration. It is recommended that multiple and varied
assessments be used so that 1) a sufficient number of samples are obtained (multiple),
and 2) a sufficient variety of measures are used. Variety of measurement can be
accomplished by assessing the students through different measures that allows you to
see them apply what they have learned in different ways and from different perspectives.
Typically, you will be more confident in the students' grasp of the material if they can do
so.
3. Principle 1- Assessment should be Valid.

Authentic assessment that provides greater assurances of validity and reliability

throughout all stages of assessment within seafarer programs. It also lays the path to
future research directions by establishing the agenda to test the practicality of the
framework in the authentic assessment of seafarer students and also investigate the
impact of students’ perception of increasing authenticity on performance scores in
assessment tasks.
