Meaning of Authenthic
Assessment
Non-Test Indicators
 Academic test are typically relied upon to
assess the performance of students in educational
tasks. The use of a single form of measurement
(e.g., pencil and paper-test) to monitor learner
development or the performance of educational
programs, however, may be less reliable.
 These other significant areas
include career development, health
and personal safety, interpersonal
relations, civic development, ethical
development and so on.
 Schools must teach
Transversal
competencies(domain of
Marzano’s taxonomy)
 Transversal Competencies

• These are competencies that are transferable between

jobs that is why they are also called Transverable
competencies.
• They are not b and sector-specific skills.
• They can be transferred from one specific task to
another.
 Fisch, McLeod, Brenman2008
We are currently preparing students for jobs
that don’t yet exist... using technologies that havent
been invented... in order to solve problems we
don’t even know are problems yet.
