Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and practical model of the performance assessment instrument development. And it is to enable instructors employing hands-on activities to develop a qualitative performance assessment instrument. The following is the summary of this study. Two models were developed for valid performance assessment in hands-on activities: an performance assessment model, a model of the performance assessment instrument development. Different strategies were presented in stages depending on the procedure in the performance assessment model. The most important feature in this study is that in designing an instructional plan, both the assessment strategies of the performance and the products of the students were taken into consideration. And the strategy varies depending on the subject matter. The model of the performance assessment instrument development which was devised in this study, consists of 3 steps: preparation, development and improvement. The preparation step is to plan an overall outline. In other words, the first step is to set an achievement standard and to design an instructional plan. The achievement standard is closely related to the next step, which is to make an performance assessment model. The development step includes the following: extracting assessment elements, establishing evaluation criteria, making up a set of questions for the students and the instructors such as multiple-choices, short answers, or essays, establishing a rubric, and developing an performance assessment instrument. Then, during the last step, the instructors analyze the result of the performance assessment to test the validity of the performance assessment instrument; and subsequently make necessary corrections of the instrument. With this performance assessment instrument development model, it is expected to improve the quality of performance assessment instruments. Consequently, instructors will be able to devise valid assessment elements according to the performance assessment model.
