Abstract
Applications of hypermedia in alternative performance assessment in sc ience education are explored in this paper. The ways in which modern c ognitive theories of learning rationalize the use of hypermedia system s in performance assessment are addressed; selected prototype applicat ions of hypermedia in performance assessment are surveyed; and advanta ges and disadvantages are discussed. Hypermedia appears to be a promis ing technology for developing alternative process-oriented assessment systems in science education.
