Traditional assessment focuses on measuring students' knowledge through standardized tests and exams, uses tools like pencil and paper, and is assessed externally by teachers. Alternative assessment measures student performance through portfolios and checklists, emphasizes skills over knowledge, and allows for self-assessment by students. The key differences are that traditional assessment is outcome-based while alternative assessment is performance-based and focuses more on the process of learning than outcomes.
