 What comes to
your mind if you
hear the word
“observation”?
OBSERVATION
- is the action or process of observing something in
order to gain information – Oxford dictionary
Guidelines to make observation-based assessment systematic and
objective (Diane Hart 1994) are follows;

1. Observe not only one but all students.

2. Observation must be frequent and as regular as possible.

3. Observations must be recorded in writing.

4. Observations should cover both routine and exceptional

occurences.

5. Reliability of observation record is enhanced if multiple

observations are gathered and synthesized.
Observational assessment
- is a test where an observer watches a
participant perform a task and rates their
performance, making it possible to evaluate
skills or abilities that are difficult to
measure using “traditional” assessments.

Examples of tools you may need to conduct

an observational assessment include:

•Test equipment
•A rubric
•A scoring sheet/ scoring system
Some example of Observation Tools are follows;
• Developmental checklist is an observational tool which requires the
teacher recorder to describe the traits or learning behaviors being
assessed.

• Interview Sheet which also called “conference recording form” it

consist of a list of questions the teacher intends to ask and space for
recording the student’s answer.

• Running Record is a tool for coding, scoring and analyzing a child's

precise reading behaviours. The collection of Running Records
provides an effective resource for analyzing and reflecting on the
teaching and learning in schools.

DEFINITION

PERFORMANCED BASED ASSESSMENT

- represents a set of strategies for the application of knowledge,

skills and work habits through the performance of tasks that are
meaningful and engaging to students (Hibbard and others 1996)
INSTRUMENT
RUBRICS
– most rubrics consist of objective, performance characteristics and
points or scorer that indicate the degree to which the objectives were
met.

HOLISTIC SCORING
– it has one overall score instead of discrete dimensions.

ANALYTIC SCORING
– give specific feedback that allows student to identify areas where
they need to improve.

CHECKLISTS
– contain a list of behaviors or specific steps which can be marked as
present/absent, complete/incomplete, yes/no etc.
BENEFITS
1. It is uses meaningful, naturalistic and contextualized tasks.

2. It promotes hands on or collaborative activities.

3. It shows what students know and can do.

4. It provides feedback to students on strengths and weaknesses.
