Observational assessment

Observational assessment involves watching and recording how individuals demonstrate their knowledge or skills in real-time situations. In the context of general knowledge, this means assessing someone's understanding of facts, concepts, and information through their behavior, discussions, or responses during activities. Rather than relying on tests or quizzes, this approach focuses on seeing how people use their knowledge in practical ways, allowing evaluators to gain insights into their thinking processes and decision-making abilities. It provides a comprehensive view of a person's capabilities in context.
