1.1. Discuss the Basic Terms of Assessment (15 marks)
In educational contexts, assessment refers to the various methods and tools educators use to evaluate, measure,
and document the academic readiness, learning progress, skill acquisition, or educational needs of students.
Here are some basic terms related to assessment:
1. Formative Assessment: This is an ongoing process used by teachers to monitor student learning and
provide ongoing feedback. Examples include quizzes, drafts, and peer reviews. Its purpose is to improve
student learning during the learning process.
2. Summative Assessment: This type of assessment evaluates student learning at the end of an
instructional period by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Examples include final
exams, end-of-term projects, and standardized tests.
3. Diagnostic Assessment: This is used before instruction begins to determine students' existing
knowledge base and skill levels. It's often used to identify strengths and weaknesses and to inform
instruction.
4. Criterion-Referenced Assessment: This measures student performance against a fixed set of standards
or criteria. It determines whether each student has learned a specific body of knowledge.
5. Norm-Referenced Assessment: This compares a student's performance to a group norm or average. It's
used to rank students and typically results in a bell curve distribution.
6. Authentic Assessment: This involves the application of skills to real-world tasks and problems.
Examples include portfolios, performances, and demonstrations.
