AA should be used to assess students in more authentic and complex situations. Students are not expected to give a "fixed/model" answer but are assessed based on how well they fufill the rubrics given. 
2. Pros: Authentic learning & stretching of creativity and applications. Cons: May be hard to execute
3. Won't it be hard to keep on thinking of creative and novel AA tasks?

Performance Task
Creating a QA puzzle with solutions. 
Get 3 students to complete it and get feedback. 
Modify the puzzle and submit for grading. 

2. 
Pros: As described in ppt
Cons: standardising grading across teachers/classes; student level of readiness (whether they have the pre-requisite knowledge to attempt the task)

3. 
How to solve the cons

Assessed how students record observation in experiment. 

Time consuming and have to set aside a lesson to prepare student and give feedback. Hard to set different task with appropriate difficulty level.

Pros : interesting for Teachers and students 

Cons: time 

Issues : how to assess skills and knowledge of individual students within a group. 
Standardisation for task is going to be a real issue.

Pros: student-directed; students get to choose where they want to go; allows for more trs’ discretion to award students’ effort.

Cons: students who couldn’t be bothered, just went to grass patch below his block, or throw in some vague concepts learnt in pri sch; extend n depth of learning is spread over a v broad spectrum; SES advantage came into play.

My qn: if the student didnt “succeed” in producing a working product n the rubric may be bias towards learning from positive outcomes... do we consider learning “what is wrong”/“what didn’t work” as learning too??]]> 2019-11-04 04:27:46 UTC https://padlet.com/huikuan_tan/spoktrbv92t4/wish/406058991
