Process-Oriented, Performanced-Based Assessment
PERFORMANCE-BASED
ASSESSMENT
Is it possible to explain why the
student outputs is as they are
through an assessment of the
processes which they did in order
to arrive at the final product?
“ It is important to assess students’
learning not only through their
outputs or products but also the
processes which the students
underwent in order to arrive at
these products or outputs.”
WHAT IS PERFORMANCE-BASED?
• One in which a teacher observes and makes a
judgment about the student’s demonstration
of a skill or competency in creating a product,
constructing a response, or making a
presentation.
• Emphasis on student’s ability to perform tasks
by producing their own work with their
knowledge and skills.
• Examples: singing, playing a piano,
PROCESS-ORIENTED LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Information about outcomes is important.
To improve outcomes, we need to know
about student experience along the way.
• Assessment can help us understand which
students learn best under what conditions
which such knowledge comes the capacity
to improve the whole of their learning.
PROCESS-ORIENTED LEARNING
COMPETENCIES
• Process-oriented performance-based
assessment is concerned with the actual
task performance rather than the output or
product of the activity.
LEARNING COMPETENCIES
• Competencies are defined as groups or
clusters of skills and abilities needed for a
particular task.
• The objectives focus on the behaviors
which exemplify “best practice” for the
particular task.
• Such behavior range from a “beginner” or
“novice” level up to the level of “expert”.

WHY INCLUDE LEVELS OF
PERFORMANCE?

ANALYTIC RUBRICS
VERSUS
HOLISTIC RUBRICS
HOLISTIC RUBRICS
Provides comprehensive descriptions of
each level of performance.
Useful for quick and general assessment
and feedback.
Descriptions may be organized in columns
or rows.

ADVANTAGES OF HOLISTIC RUBRICS
Scoring is faster than with analytic rubrics.
Requires less time to achieve inter-rater
reliability.
Good for summative assessment.
DISADVANTAGES OF HOLISTIC
RUBRICS
Single overall score does not communicate
information about what to do to improve.
Not good for formative assessment.
ANALYTIC RUBRICS
Breaks out criteria for distinguishing
between levels of performance on each
criterion.
Useful for detailed assessment and
feedback.
Descriptions are organized in a matrix.

ADVANTAGES OF ANALYTIC RUBRICS
Gives diagnostic information to teacher.
Gives formative feedback to students.
Easier to link to instruction than holistic
rubrics.
Good for formative assessment; adaptable
for summative assessment; if you need an
overall score for grading, you can combine
the scores.
DISADVANTAGES OF ANALYTIC
RUBRICS
Takes more time to score than holistic
rubrics.
Takes more time to achieve inter-rater
reliability than with holistic rubrics.
HOW MANY LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE
SHOULD I INCLUDE IN MY RUBRIC?
There is no specific number of levels a
rubric should or should not possess. It will vary
on the task and your needs as long as you
decide that it is appropriate.
Generally, it is better to start with a smaller
number of levels of performance for a criterion
and then expand if necessary
For example, in an oral presentation rubric,
amount of eye contact might be an important
criterion. Performance on that criterion could
be judged along three levels of performance:
