From the mid-1990s in Korea, performance assessment has continuously emphasized school mathematics and thus many researchers and teachers have been steadily studying this topic. But, the concepts relevant to performance assessment and its purposed are very confusing because the mathematics educations` different views and voices are vary. As a result most mathematics teachers experience trouble in executing performance assessment was once again revealed in this study which dealt with 15 articles in performance assessment. these 15 articles includes almost every article written on the topic of performance assessment that have been published in 4 domestic journals since December 1997. By examining this inability, it is required that its concepts and purposed should be organized with a common view and newly defined in the near future. Therefore, to successfully accomplish this, this paper outlines the basic problems on the understanding of performance assessment as follows: · What is the proper types(methods) of performance assessment? · Is the subject test a type of performance assessment? · What is the difference between subject test and essay test? · What is the relationship between performance assessment and performance tasks? · What is the relationship between performance tests and project method? · What is a project method? · It is assessment standard or scoring standard to score a test result? · What is the difference between analytic scoring method and holistic scoring method?
