  text: In higher education, assessment/examination procedures should be designed
    to form a coherent learning process that is aligned with the intended learning
    objectives and planned learning activities. However, in academic teacher education
    programmes often use assessment formats that are not well aligned with the demands
    of teachers' actual professional practice. Performance-based assessments can offer
    an alternative, for example in the form of role-play-based simulations with trained
    actors representing typical professional activities in environments of reduced
    complexity. We have developed such a performance-based assessment format for physics
    teacher education, analogous to the Objective Structured Teaching Examinations
    (OSTE) approach used in medical education. The OSTE prototype consists of seven
    short simulative assessments, reflecting four areas of competence (Instruction,
    Assessment, Pedagogy and Innovation) that form a 90-minute examination course.
    In order to investigate prospective physics teachers' perceptions of such an assessment
    format in terms of its suitability as a summative examination procedure, we piloted
    the OSTE prototype with N = 34 physics student teachers from three German universities
    using short questionnaires. The results show that participants perceived the OSTE
    prototype as authentic and relevant, but they also highlight the need for adequate
    new learning opportunities to prepare for such simulative examinations to be integrated
    into teacher education programmes.
