Lesson 2
●Describe the different types of learning targets that are best suited for
alternative assessment
●Formulate learning targets for specific lessons.
●Develop an assessment plan where appropriate alternative assessment
methods are matched with specific learning targets.
Performance Tasks
At the end of the Lesson 2, you should be able to:
● Describe the different types of learning targets that are best suited for alternative
assessment
● Formulate learning targets for specific lessons
● Develop an assessment plan where appropriate alternative assessment methods are
matched with specific learning targets.
What are the learning targets appropriate for alterntive
assessment?
● Blooms Taxonomy of Education Objectives
• The challenge is for teachers to identify the levels of the levels of expertise
that they expect the expect the students to achieve and demonstrate.
• This will then lead to the identification of the assessment methods required
to properly assess student learning.
• Therefore, learning targets should specify both the content and criteria of
learning.
• All five types of learning targets (knowledge, reasoning, skill, product, and
affect) can be assessed by the use of alternative methods of assessment;
• Stiggins et. al. (2006) defined skills type of learning targets as one's use of
knowledge and reasoning to act skillfully.
• In other words, skills refer to learning targets that require the development
and demonstrate and demonstrate of behavioral or physical task.
• Students are expected to create products that have certain core attributes
that will serve as basis for evaluating its quality.
Affect of Disposition Learning Targets
• In terms of skills, having the required skills to apply one's knowledge and
reasoning skills through the performance of a behavioral or physical task is
step higher than simply knowing or being able to reason based on
knowledge.
• Given the need to also give value to the process of creating a product,
performance assessment is also typically used vis-a-vis product
assessment.
What are the appropriate alternative methods of assessment
for learning targets?
