| Abstract | Our field has devised many terms to describe assessments in which examinees demonstrate some type of performance or create some type of product (e.g., performance, performancebased, “authentic,” constructed response, open-ended). Whatever you call them, performance-based assessments (PBAs) have a long history in educational measurement with cycles of ups and downs. And once again, PBAs are currently in vogue. Why? To address the federal government’s requirements for assessment systems that represent “the full performance continuum,” the two consortia formed in response to Race to the Top funding have both publicized assessment plans that involve a heavy dose of performance-based tasks (PARCC, 2010; SBAC, 2010). Thus, PBAs are relevant to any discussion about the future of testing in America. |
