Modifications/Improvements on Personal Assessment Essay:
Lack of Research:
My personal assessment essay lacks research (whether
statistical or facts/information from a reliable journal source). In order to
add value to my opinion on the importance of utilizing authentic assessments, I
would need to find some research on this. Finding research that addresses the
value of authentic assessments, and even cases where it has shown to be of
value in certain classrooms. Testimonial cases of teacher/students also
discussing the advantageous results of authentic assessments would bode well
for me, to include in my personal assessment essay.
Discussing the Actual
“Assessment” Portion of the Authentic Assessment:
In my personal assessment essay, I have not discussed
any information or even topics on rubrics for the authentic assessment. I
should think about how an authentic assessment is graded and what components
are most imperative to harbor upon when grading an authentic assessment.
Grading based on knowledge of the topic, accuracy in performing the task,
efficiency in performing the task, etc. Considering which factors are most
important in the authentic assessment would also add value to my essay.
Adding Additional Assessment
Forms in Order to Gain More Results from an Authentic Assessment:
My opinions of strictly using an authentic assessment as
a sort of beneficial “cumulative/final exam,” has somewhat altered. I initially
had thought that it can culminate all learned tasks and knowledge given
throughout the course into having the student perform a final given task to
measure what they have learned over the course of a unit. However, I think
adding an additional assessment might also give more results. Maybe including
an evaluative assessment on how the students felt they had performed or in
completing the task, they realized areas they could have focused on more
throughout the unit, in order to perform well in those specific areas they had
a lack of confidence in, might be worthwhile to consider. Even a written
assessment with multiple-choice questions, and written responses, would still
be beneficial to use alongside an authentic assessment.
