I agree: we should evaluate actions, rather than 'knowledge' (where 'knowledge' here means 'remembered instances of data'). The reason, I think, we should evaluate actions is that we are able to get at more finely-grained sub-symbolic mental development, and not simply a small set of memorized facts. But can assessments, as suggested here, evaluate actions? I'd have to think about that. (note: be sure to look at the lower right hand side of the page where Aldrich presents his blog's content in a linear format, for those who need that).
