LB #17 ASSESSMENT IN A CONSTRUCTIVIST, TECHNOLOGY-SUPPORTED LEARNING

1. Which form of assessment fits a constructivist technology-supported learning environment?
              The form of assessment that fits a constructivist technology-supported learning environment is the "Authentic assessment". AUTHENTIC assessment measures collective abilities, written and oral expression skills, analytical skills, manipulative skills, integration, creativity and ability to work collaboratively.
              In authentic assessment, students perform real world tasks, thus the world "authentic". It is an assessment of a process or a product. That is why authentic assessment includes performance or product assessment. The performance is reliable measure of skills learned and the product is a proof of the acquisition of skills.
