alternative assessment techniques

Alternative assessment techniques are different methods used to evaluate a person’s knowledge, skills, or abilities beyond traditional exams. These can include projects, presentations, portfolios, self-assessments, or performance tasks that demonstrate understanding in real-world contexts. They provide a more comprehensive view of a learner’s capabilities, emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and practical application. These methods are often more engaging and personalized, allowing individuals to showcase their strengths in various formats. Overall, alternative assessments aim to measure meaningful learning and skills more effectively than standard tests alone.
