This has led to an increasing interest in "performance-based education." Performance-based education poses a challenge for teachers to design instruction that is task oriented. The trend is based on the premise that learning needs to be connected to the lives of the students through relevant tasks that focus on students' ability to use their knowledge and skills in meaningful ways. In this case, performance-based tasks require performance-based assessments in which the actual student performance is assessed through a product, such as a completed project or work that demonstrates levels of task achievement. At times, performance-based assessment has been used interchangeably with "authentic assessment" and "alternative assessment." In all cases, performance-based assessment has led to the use of a variety of alternative ways of evaluating student progress ( journals, checklists, portfolios, projects, rubrics, etc.) as compared to more traditional methods of measurement (paper and pencil testing). For the purpose of this tutorial, the use of rubrics will be explored as a viable means of evaluating students' performances.
