Abstract
This article aims to identify the degree of effectiveness of modern assesment methods in motivating learning in the discipline of Romanian Language and Literature, in the 4th grade. In order to test the effectiveness of the assessment tests (traditional and alternative), the research was carried out in two classes of students, one experimental, where the project was applied as an alternative assessment method, and one control, where the assessment was carried out through a traditional written test. The research found better results in the experimental class as opposed to the control class.
