Learning_Targets_Alternative_Assessment_

Alternative assessment evaluates students through performance-based and product-oriented tasks instead of traditional tests, guided by Bloom's Taxonomy which classifies learning objectives into cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Learning targets are specific statements of what students should learn and demonstrate, including knowledge, reasoning, skills, product, and affective components. Effective alternative assessment methods include performance-based tasks, portfolio assessments, and self and peer evaluations.

Learning Targets for Alternative

Assessment
A simple guide based on Bloom's
Taxonomy
What is Alternative Assessment?
• Alternative assessment focuses on evaluating
students through performance-based and
product-oriented tasks rather than traditional
tests.
Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational
Objectives
• It classifies learning objectives into three
domains:
• - Cognitive (Knowledge-based)
• - Affective (Attitude-based)
• - Psychomotor (Skills-based)
Affective Domain: Levels of
Learning
• 1. Receiving – Passive awareness
• 2. Responding – Active participation
• 3. Valuing – Assigning importance
• 4. Organization – Integrating values
• 5. Internalizing – Making values a part of
oneself
Psychomotor Domain: Levels of
Learning
• 1. Perception – Recognizing cues
• 2. Set – Readiness to act
• 3. Guided Response – Learning through
imitation
• 4. Mechanism – Developing confidence
• 5. Complex Overt Response – Skilled
performance
• 6. Adaptation – Adjusting skills to new
situations
Key Takeaways
• • Alternative assessment evaluates
performance and product-based learning.
• • Bloom’s Taxonomy helps classify learning
targets.
• • Affective and Psychomotor domains focus on
attitudes and skills.
Origination in Psychomotor
Domain
• • Creating new movement patterns to fit
specific situations.
• • Learning outcomes emphasize creativity
based on advanced skills.
• • Example: Creates new steps for a
contemporary version of a classic dance.
Importance of Bloom’s Taxonomies
• • Helps teachers create structured learning
targets.
• • Guides instruction and assessment in
classrooms.
• • Teachers must identify student expertise
levels for proper assessment.
What are Learning Targets?
• • Statements of what students should learn
and demonstrate.
• • More specific than educational goals and
objectives.
• • Should align with curriculum standards and
instructional goals.
Types of Learning Targets
• 1. Knowledge – Learning facts and concepts.
• 2. Reasoning – Using knowledge for problem-
solving.
• 3. Skills – Demonstrating learned abilities.
• 4. Product – Creating a tangible output.
• 5. Affective – Developing attitudes and values.
Examples of Learning Targets
• • Knowledge: 'I can discuss the research
design used in my thesis.'
• • Reasoning: 'I can justify my choice of
statistical analysis.'
• • Skills: 'I can perform ANOVA using SPSS.'
• • Product: 'I can write the results and
discussion section.'
• • Affective: 'I appreciate the role of a thesis
adviser.'
Alternative Assessment Methods
• • Best for assessing skills, products, and
affective learning.
• • Examples:
• - Performance-based tasks
• - Portfolio assessments
• - Self and peer evaluations
