bamban sur elementary school

Objective: this study is to determine the effectivity of authentic assessment than the traditional
assessment to the grade 6 pupils of bamban sur elem. school. In this two type of assessment that
determine which is the best to use as a teaching method.

Research problem: authentic assessment plays a great role in enhancing students’ learning and makes
them competent in their study area. Studies indicate that assessment is authentic when the tasks have
real-life value and students perform real-world tasks. Therefore, this chapter shows how lecturers
practice authentic assessment to enhance students’ learning in a higher education institution. To
achieve this, the authors used a phenomenological qualitative research design. An interview was used to
collect data. The result indicated that lecturers are highly dependent upon traditional assessment
methods, which have no significant contribution to the competency of students. The practice of
authentic assessment methods as a tool to enhance students’ learning is limited. Therefore, the authors
can conclude that enhancing students’ learning using authentic assessment in their study areas is
untenable if the lecturers continue to utilize their current assessment practices.

Performance on tests ranges greatly based on both a student’s ability and the way a test is designed.
When it comes to traditional testing, there’s a clear right and wrong answer. This is just one reason as to
why authentic assessment may be beneficial within any classroom to complement traditional tests.

Rather than only recalling information, authentic assessment can test how a student applies knowledge
to real-world situations. Authentic assessments open the door to creative problem-solving and leverage
critical thinking skills to complete.
