performance-based assessments
Performance-based assessments are evaluations that measure a person's ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world tasks rather than through traditional tests. For example, instead of answering multiple-choice questions about general knowledge, someone might be asked to create a presentation, conduct an interview, or solve a problem relevant to a specific context. This approach assesses not only what one knows but also how effectively they can use that knowledge in practical situations, providing a more comprehensive view of their capabilities.
