We show Antoinette two identical glasses containing equal amounts of water.We pour the water from one glass into a wide, shallow bowl.Antoinette tells us that the other glass has more water than the bowl does.You may recognize this as Piaget's conservation-of-liquid task.)We ask Antoinette to explain why she thinks the glass and bowl have different amounts of water so that we can identify possible strategies to help her develop conservation of liquid.By doing so, we are engaging in performance assessment of for purposes of evaluation.

This is an example of process assessment because we are observing Antoinette's thought process and strategies as she tries to explain why she thinks the glass and bowl have different amounts of water. It is also formative because we are using this assessment to identify possible strategies to help Antoinette develop conservation of liquid. It is not a product assessment because there is no final product being evaluated, and it is not summative because it is not being used to make a final judgment or grade.
