Assessment in Project-Based Learning
Teachers who are using Project-Based Learning experience:
- more multidimensional assessment
- less paper and pencil testing
- more performance-based assessment
- less knowledge-based assessment
Tips:
- Design rubrics that include specific performance details.
- Reflect the importance of the learning that led up to the final project
as well as the final presentation.
- Emphasize the value of products that don't work as well as completed
workable products. If students can explain why something didn't work
and how to fix it, real learning has occurred.
