Authentic Assessment
An authentic assignment is one that requires the
application of what students have learned to a new
situation, and that demands judgment to determine
what information and skills are relevant and how
they should be used.
 According to Grant Wiggins(1998), an
assessment is authentic if it:
- is realistic.
- requires judgment and innovation.
- asks the student to “do” the subject.
- replicates or simulates the contexts in which adults are “tested” in the
workplace or in civic or personal life.
- assesses the student’s ability to efficiently and e.ffectively use a repertoire
of knowledge and skills to negotiate a complex task.
- allows appropriate opportunities to rehearse, practice, consult resources,
and get feedback on and refine performances and products.

Authentic assessments can be contrasted with conventional test questions,

which are often indirect measures of a student’s ability to apply the
knowledge and skills gained in a course. Conventional tests have an
important place in college courses, but cannot take the place of authentic
assessments.
Differences between typical tests and Authentic Assessments
 Authentic assessments have several advantages over conventional tests.
They involve real-world tasks, they are also likely to be more interesting for
students, and thus more motivating. And finally, they can provide more
specific and usable information about what students have succeeded in
learning as well as what they have not learned.
However, authentic assessments may require more time and effort on an
instructor’s part to develop and may be more difficult to grade.

 PORTFOLIO AS A
COMMUNICATION MEDIUM
Portfolios and Authentic Assessment
 What is a Portfolio?
A portfolio contains a
purposefully selected subset of
student work
 Are Portfolios Authentic
Assessment?
Students in these disciplines are performing authentic tasks
which capture meaningful application of knowledge and
skills. Their portfolios often tell compelling stories of the
growth of the students' talents and showcase their skills
through a collection of authentic performances
 Nature and Characteristics of Portfolio
➢Focus is on the development of self-
evaluation skills.
➢Teacher and students must meet to
discuss evaluations (teachers can get a
good window into students’ understanding
of their progress).
➢In addition to improving instruction, the
goal is to help student internalize criteria
for excellence.
➢Can be used for student-directed
conferences with parents.
➢Focus is on evaluation of student work
in its entirety and certifying

➢Teacher should provide student with
clear guidelines about content of
portfolio and scoring criteria.
➢If used to assess program goals, the
content and organization of portfolios
must be highly standardized.
