In this article, we investigate the implementation of task performance tests in an undergraduate
\nphysics laboratory. Two performance tests were carried out over two semesters using the task of
\nbuilding a DC circuit. The first implementation in Spring 2014 had certain concerns such as the
\nprivacy of students\u2019 testing and their \u2018trial and error\u2019 attempts. These concerns were addressed in
\nFall 2015 through implementing a second performance test. The second implementation was administered
\ndifferently but the content of the two tests was the same. We discuss the validity of both
\nimplementations and present the correlation (or lack of) between the time that students needed to
\ncomplete the tests and their grades from a paper-based laboratory assessment method.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
