About Deanna
Current PhD Art Education student at FSU
B.S. and M.Ed. in art education from UCF
Taught elementary art for four years What got me interested in art assessments?During the summer before the start of my 3rd year teaching art, I was told I would have to give my k-5 students a mandated, district created assessment. The assessment was all multiple choice and this, in my opinion, was not an effective way of representing and measuring the learning that occurred in my art classroom. I discovered authentic assessments
during my time at UCF and have carried that interest into my doctoral studies.Slide4

Authentic Assessment: What is it & Why?
Our school system is built around a competitive race (Eisner, 1998). Students are compared to each other through standardized assessment measures rather than assessed in an authentic manner that acknowledges unique differences.
In the art classroom, students engage in multiple forms of learning and their assessments should reflect this as well.
Paper-and-pencil assessments focus on reproducing knowledge whereas authentic assessments focus on constructing knowledge (Koh, Tan, & Ng, 2012).
Authentic assessments require students to construct their own meaning about what is learned.
Authentic assessments simultaneously allow students to relate and discover
real world problems
.
Authentic assessments allow students to hypothesize as routes to solve problems, create meaning, and draw conclusions rather than that of traditional assessments, which typically demand that students regurgitate facts. Slide6

Why is Assessment important?
Assessment...
1. Helps
students become more aware of expectations2. Helps them understand their grades
3. Provides specific parameters for students to work within
4. Helps students understand assignments and thereby, improve their work
5. Increases student motivation and provides accountability
6. Allows
teachers
to know whether goals and objectives for the program are being met
7. Helps teachers know how to proceed further with appropriate strategies
8. Improves teaching strategies and makes teachers more introspective.
9. Provides more credibility for the art program.
10. Increases respect from administrators and others.
(Dorn, Madeja & Sabol, 2004)Slide8
8 Criteria Needed in Assessment Creation in Order to Make Assessments More Authentic:
Assessment measurements should reflect what students will face in the real world
Tasks should not solely focus on the correct answer, but on how students solve problems
Tasks should represent the values of the intellectual community, resulting in an aesthetic achievementAssessment endeavors should be collaborative, not singularAssessments more than one possible answer
Assessments should be relevant to the taught curriculum, but not the sole purpose
Assessments should focus on the process, not just the product
Students should be able to select which form of representation they want to use in their assessment process
(Eisner, 1998)Slide9
Types of Assessments
Assessment is one of the least well-developed and most misunderstood parts of art education
Informal Assessment (formative)
- Most assessments in the art classroom are conducted informally such as noting which students are engaged and which are not.
Ongoing conversations about work in progress is one of the most common ways teachers assess student progress.
Art teachers may offer encouragement or redirect students when they did not understand the concept presented.
Formal Assessment (summative)
– Formal assessments may include giving traditional tests, assessing student artwork using rubrics, and assessing a body of work in portfolios.
(Hurwitz & Day, 2012)Slide10

Conclusion
We as art educators can begin to make a difference in our own classrooms by providing students with a more well-rounded approach to assessment using authentic assessments, thereby showing students that they can be assessed in ways that enable them to
construct
what is learned rather than repeat what is memorized.Slide17
