Question

Some performance assessments focus on processes, whereas others focus on products. Which one of the following pairs best illustrates this distinction? Observing how a student goes about developing a computer program vs. observing how well the final program actually works Observing a student’s watercolor painting vs. observing a student’s clay sculpture Observing how a student speaks during an oral presentation in class vs. observing how the student interacts with peers informally in class and at lunch Observing how a student solves algebra problems vs. observing how a student tackles geometry proofs

Answer 1

Observing how a student goes about developing a computer program vs. observing how well the final program actually work

Step-by-step explanation:

When we observing the way the student develop the computer program, we put the focus of the assessment to the 'process' (we can identify whether the students following the correct steps/order to during the project).

When we assess performance solely on the final program, we put the focus of the assessment on the products. It does not matter what steps or method that the students use as long as the goal is accomplished.
