다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The assessment plays a very important role both in studying and teaching. The assessment is not just to know the result of studying. It has a close relationship with every problems of education. But so far the traditional assessment has evaluated only narrow-minded and fragmentary knowledges.
In the globalized and informationized society of 21st century, one should be able to collect, analyse, and criticize the needed information and knowledges. So with the problems of traditional assessment and with the new needs, the performance assessment has played its important role.
In the thesis I will diagnose the performance assessmet. I will also take some real examples of English performance assessment which are taken in some middle schools and high schools.
Performance assessment is needed to prepare for the globalized and informationized society. And secondly, it would improve the way of teaching and studying. And finally, it could provide the meaningful results of the assessment.
We can divide four language skills in English. In recent, the most important skill in English is speaking. As the result of real examples of performance assessment which are taken in some middle schools and high schools, I could see that almost every school take the speaking test in various way. For writing it is up to the schools. Besides the language ability, in some schools teachers reflect the result of students manners and so on.
Performance assessment is theoretically a very ideal way of assessment but there are some problems. First, performance assessment can be another burden to teachers. Second, performance assessment wants objectivity and reliability, and teachers' speciality. Fourth, there are too much homework which are related with performance asessment. Fifth, the result of performance assessment can be unreasonable.
To solve those problems there are some actions have to be taken. First, to reduce teachers' burden some administrative measures have to be taken. Second, in performance assessment teachers' opinions have to be reflected, and teachers themselves have to make a lot of efforts to be specialists. Third, to help students to perform the assignment efficiently libraries and computer lab have to be opened. Fourth, teachers have to control the quantity of the homework which are related with performance assessment. Fifth, teachers have to reflect the result of students' self-evaluation.
There can be much more problems in performance assessment. But it can be the answers for the ideal assessment, studying, and teaching. So to progress performance assessment in this given condition teachers themselves have to do their best. Parents and students also have to trust teachers. These can make a desirable progress of performance assessment.
