Application of Principles of Performance-Based Assessment to Corporate Certifications
Foshay, Wellesley R.; Hale, Judith
TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, v61 n1 p71-76 Jan 2017
Performance based assessment is currently receiving renewed attention as an alternative to conventional testing. We argue that performance based assessment, supported by a microcredentialing system, is particularly well suited to corporate environments that stress strategic development of their workforce capacities. There are important implications for job task analysis, integration of assessment and training, and training management.
