MY INTERVIEW NOTES                              Based on what I interviewed to my cooperating teacher,using authentic assessment is one way to develop not only the knowledge but also includes the skills and the behavior of the learner. The teacher say that if we conduct an authentic assessment be sure that is used on 3 domain the knowledge, psychomotor and most especially the affective. When we say authentic assessment is a test that reflect real-life situation.It is on how the learners apply all their learning he/she learned in a given topic.The activity that she used the authentic assessment which is to solve the word problem using linear equation,there are following steps before you arrived to the correct solution and second one is the desired product is a representation of a cubic prism made out of cardboard in  geometry class.                             Working on authentic tasks is a useful, engaging activity in itself; it becomes an "episode of learning" for the student

Analysis

      1.       What is Authentic Assessment?

Authentic assessment captures aspects of students’ knowledge, deep understanding, problem-solving skills, social skills, and attitudes that are used in a real-world, or simulation of a real-world situation.  Authentic assessments set meaningful and engaging tasks, in a rich context, where the learner applies knowledge and skills, and performs the task in a new situation.
