Alternative assessment methods

Alternative assessment methods are ways of measuring a person’s understanding or skills that go beyond traditional tests like exams or quizzes. These methods can include projects, presentations, portfolios, or practical demonstrations. They aim to provide a more comprehensive view of a learner’s abilities by evaluating how they apply knowledge in real-world situations. These assessments are often more engaging and can better reflect a person’s critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills. Overall, they offer a more flexible and individualized way to evaluate learning, moving beyond rote memorization to assess meaningful understanding.
