Performance-Based Assessment of Biology Teachers: Promises and Pitfalls.
Collins, Angelo
Journal of Research in Science Teaching, v30 n9 p1103-20 Nov 1993
Explored three modes of performance-based assessment: portfolios, portfolio-based simulations, and simulation exercises. Fifteen high school biology teachers completed 11 assessment activities. The primary finding is that performance-based assessments can be designed and administered, teachers can complete them, the assessment can be rated, and they do discriminate. (PR)
