PERFORMANCE-BASED ASSESSMENT
It measures students' ability to apply the skills and knowledge learned from a unit of study. Typically, the task challenge students to use their higher-order thinking skills to create a product. (Chun, 2010)

= KEY FEATURES OF PERFORMACE-BASED ASSESSMENT =
AUTHENTIC
based assessments combine the traditional academic content with the knowledge and skills needed to function appropriately in the real-world.
COMPLEX
require students to generate rather than choose a response. They must reason, problem-solve, or collaborate with others to produce individual responses.
PROCESS/PRODUCT ORIENTED
students demonstrate their understanding by applying their knowledge to a particular situation in which actual task performance is evaluated.
OPEN-ENDED
students are presented with an open-ended question that may produce different correct answers . (Chum, 2010; McTighe, 2015)
TIME-BOUND
in the higher-level tasks, there is a sense of urgency for the product to be developed or the process to be determined, as in most real-world situations.

It can possibly be costly.
It relies heavily on student initiative and drive.
It relies heavily on specific skill sets of students.
It results can be subjective.

REFLECTION FOR LESSON 3:
In lesson 3, which was about Performance-based assessment, I learned about various types of activities that target the higher-order thinking skills of the students. In performance tasks, it helps the students get involved in real-world situations that challenge them to think more creatively and help them develop their problem-solving skills. PBA also provides examples that can be given to the students, whether through a performance or through developing a product. This lesson taught me to be more aware of what proper activities I should give to my future students and what specific types I should use to properly assess their performance that align to their levels and skills.
