what is an authentic assessment example
Authentic assessments, on the other hand, offer more direct evidence of application and construction of knowledge. As in the golf example above, putting a golf student on the golf course to play provides much more direct evidence of proficiency than giving the student a written test.
Authentic assessment, therefore, is a subset of these alternative evaluation processes, and is. based on the assumption that there is a much wider spectrum of student performance that can be. displayed than that limited by short-answer, standardized tests.
