4. What is an alternative assessment? •
ASSESSMENT is generally defined as the process of
gathering quantitative and/or qualitative data for the
purpose of making decisions, whereas ASSESSMENT OF
LEARNING can be defined as the systematic and purpose-
oriented collection, analysis, and interpretation of evidence
of student learning in order to make informed decisions
relevant to the learners.
5. Refers to the use of assessment to identify the
needs of students in order to modify instruction
or the learning activities in the classroom.
Assessment for learning is formative in nature,
and it is meant to identify gaps in the learning
experiences of students, so they can be
assisted in achieving the curriculum outcomes.
6. refers to the use of traditional assessment strategies or tools to
provide information on student learning. Typically, objective
(e.g., multiple-choice) and subjective (e.g., essay) paper-and-
pencil; tests are used to assess students. Traditional
assessments are often used as the basis for evaluating and

15. based on Michael Scriven's goal free evaluation
model (1967). In this model, the assessment focuses
on determining the "effects" of instruction on
students. The emphasis is on the assessment of both
the intended and unintended effects or learning
outcomes.
16. Focuses on determining the extent that students

instruction. This model adopts a pretest and
post-test methodology to collect information if a
student has developed or improved after
instruction.
17. The most popular model for alternative assessment. It
is an approach in the assessment of student learning
that refers to the use of assessment strategies or
tools that allow learners to perform or create a
product that is meaningful to the learners as they are
based on real-world contexts. The most authentic
assessments are the ones
