Abstract:
Assessments are part and parcel of Teaching
and Learning process as they play a pivotal role in
evaluating and assessing student performance. Teaching
and learning have become so engrossed with assessments
and assessments have become so common nowadays as
learners are often involved in various types of assessments
throughout their entire study programme. The names
of the assessments may vary, but the ways in which they
are conducted remain traditional in most instances. This
naturally triggers out a sense of detest among the learners,
still they are compelled to complete what is assigned for
them before the due dates, as failing to do an assignment
will affect their final marks. As a result, the real potential
of the learners remains hidden and intangible as their
efforts are without passion. As an attempt to overcome
this gap, the researcher attempts to apply a new mode of
operation – the Alternative assessment methods, so that
the new venture might open up new spirit in learners
which ultimately functions as a catalyst to embark the real
potential of the learners. The study has adopted mixed
method approach -qualitative as well as quantitative
methodology. The findings of the research are fruitful
and the researcher is looking forward to apply the new
intervention to sow the seeds of enthusiasm among the
students
