1) Paper-and-pencil tests make it easier for teachers to evaluate students but don't guarantee long-term learning, while performance tests better prepare students for real-world challenges but are more time-consuming. As a teacher, the author would use both test formats and choose assessments suitable for each lesson. 2) Authentic assessment is better than traditional paper tests because it allows students to demonstrate learning in realistic ways and apply knowledge outside the classroom, preparing them for future challenges, though it is still important for teachers to evaluate students' understanding.

ASSIGNMENT 1: REFLECTION

1. Based on your experience, what are the advantages and disadvantages of both paper-
and-pencil test and performance test? As a teacher, what type of assessment would
you prefer?

Test formats is determined by the instructional objectives and it depends on the teacher’s
choice on what format he/she will use. Test formats have advantages and disadvantages.
Paper-and-pencil test uses true or false items, multiple choice, matching type, and
completion formats. These formats make it easier for the teacher to rate and make
decisions if there’s a need to improve or change strategies. As for the students, they can
easily determine their performance in a certain topic or lesson. This proves that paper-and-
pencil test makes it easier to determine the achievement of a student. However, this does
not guarantee if the assessment will help students in the future. This is the major
disadvantage of paper-and-pencil test, most students will likely to study the given
instructional materials or the lesson itself, but after some assessments like summative
exams, they will tend to just pass the exam and forget or discard the knowledge or skills that
they have learned at the first place.

On the other hand, authentic assessment is the solution to the problem that paper-and-
pencil test has. Authentic assessment enables the students to experience the ‘real’ situation.
This means that this assessment makes the students to use the same knowledge they have
learned inside the classroom to the outside of the classroom. This prepares the students on
the challenges they will face ahead. However, I found that this assessment is not perfect, it
has a flaw also. Authentic assessment like demonstrations, declamation, and oration are
time consuming. Either it is individual or by group, teachers will not be able to let all of them
perform.

As a future educator, I prefer paper-and-pencil test in measuring the abilities of the


students. However, I should also incorporate authentic assessment. I’ll make effective use of
these two and I will ensure that the type of assessment that I’ll be using is suitable and
appropriate to the lesson I am teaching. I answered it that way because in teaching there is
no such thing as “one size fits all.”

2. What do you say about authentic assessment?

Authentic assessment is a good tool in assessing students’ learnings on a certain topic.


Unlike other methods of assessment, authentic assessment enables the students to
demonstrate their ability in a more authentic or realistic manner. For me, this type of
assessment is a lot better that those of traditional assessments like paper-and-pencil test
that includes quizzes and examinations which uses multiple choices, true or false, etc., as
format. These methods of measuring the knowledge acquired by students after the delivery
of lessons does measure students’ learnings but it doesn’t evaluate how they can apply what
they have learned outside the classroom and doesn’t prepare the students for the
challenges that they might face in the future. Since authentic assessment is performance
based, teachers can guarantee that students have constructed meaning about what they
have been taught and learned by applying it into performance tasks. As a future educator, I
should let my students experience what it is to be like in the real situation.
