Alternative assessments measure a student's proficiency and ability to apply knowledge rather than just their knowledge of facts. Some alternative assessment methods include portfolios that showcase a student's work, performance tests that require students to complete complex tasks while being observed, open tests that allow students to use course materials while testing, and take-home assessments that require multiple references and cannot be completed in class. Other methods are collaborative testing involving group work, summaries of course content, reports communicating understanding, interviews where students question each other, and concept maps visually representing relationships between ideas.

What are other alternative assessment?


- Alternative assessment is a method of evaluation that measures a student’s
level of proficiency in a subject as opposed to the student’s level of
knowledge. The overall goal of alternative assessment is to allow students
to demonstrate their knowledge and execute tasks.
Portfolio
You can ask students to build out a portfolio that demonstrates their
knowledge of what has been taught in a class or training. A portfolio is a
collection of the different tasks a student has executed in the course of the
class or training.
Performance Test
Since alternative assessment is all about putting knowledge to work, design
effective performance tests to help you rate a student’s level of skill or
knowledge. A performance test requires the learners to execute complex
tasks while the instructor observes how they go about them..
Open Tests
An open test is a method of assessment that allows learners to refer to
course materials as they take on tasks or write tests and examinations. The
questions in an open test require the student to provide responses that show
how well they understand the course.
Crib Sheet
This is another form of open-book evaluation. Instead of bringing the entire
course materials to a test or examination, the student selects important
information from these materials to create some sort of abridged version
called the crib sheet.
Take-Home Assessment
Another way to assess your students’ abilities is to give them take-home
exercises. Take-home exercises typically check 2 boxes. Firstly, they require
multiple references, and secondly, there isn’t enough time for learners to do
them in class.
Collaborative Testing
This happens when you put the students in groups and get them to work
together on different tasks. Ideally, you should pair them or place the
students in small groups of 3 or 4, to get the best results from this exercise.
Summaries
Instead of making students go through tests and assignments, you can ask
them to summarise class readings, lectures, and discussions. A good summary
tells you 1 thing—the student has an impressive understanding of key
concepts and ideas from the classroom.
Reports
Reports work just like summaries; they require the student to show how well
they understand key concepts from class discussions. However, reports take
things a step further as the student needs to communicate his or her
knowledge in a way that presents a clear picture to whoever reads the
report; even if such a person wasn’t part of the class.
Interviews
Pair students and ask them to perform interviews about different subject
matters discussed in your class. For instance, if you had a class discussion on
a historical event, one student can roleplay as a key event player while the
other person becomes the interviewer; asking questions about that event.
Concept Maps
A concept map is a visual representation of the relationship between ideas and
concepts. To test your students’ level of understanding, ask them to build
concept maps from scratch to show their knowledge or fill out existing
concept maps.
