The research findings showed that all ETS had high level of perceptions on the aspect of accuracy (3.84 – 4.10); however, they had moderate level of perceptions on the constructs of format, critical instructions & activities to do, and interval in terms practicalities (3.48 – 3.66). Qualitatively, the aspects of language should not be assessed in more detail; and capitalization along with punctuation should be linked with writing mechanics. Finally, hypothesis testing showed that there was no significant difference in ETS ’ perceptions toward the project-based assessment rubric viewed from the variants of institutions, fields of study, academic qualifications, teaching experience, and training
