Answer 1

Authentic assessment is an approach to assess student efficacy in a direct, relevant way to ascertain if the learning objectives were attained. Educators can use projects such as journals, interviews and speeches, reports, videos with the learners to know their grasp of the subject material. For instance, students with Dyscalculia (difficulty in learning numbers, arithmetic, and mathematics) can be assessed through this method where observation is done physically and immediately.

Performance-based assessment is a technique that requires a student to create a product or answer a question that will show the student’s skills, knowledge, and understanding. For example, Dysgraphia (poor handwriting, spelling, and trouble putting words on paper) can be examined through Performance-based assessment.

Constructivist assessment is unique since it focuses on creating the learners’ knowledge by constructing the world surrounding them through experience, documentation, observation, analysis, and reflection. For instance, Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) can conveniently be measured through this method since it factor in the natural connection of learners with the environment.

Oral assessment guidelines

Oral assessments gauge students’ knowledge and skills based on the spoken word, typically guided by questions or small tasks. Oral assessments can take on different formats, including:

• Presentation on a prepared topic (individual or group, live or recorded)
• Interviews or discussions to assess a student’s knowledge or skills
• Simulations or demonstrations of skills individually or with others (e.g., client or patient)
