1. Substantiate the value of assessments for learners.
Assessments are crucial for learners as they provide a structured way to measure progress and
understanding. They help identify strengths and weaknesses, guiding targeted interventions to
improve learning outcomes. Assessments also motivate learners by setting clear goals and offering
feedback on performance. Additionally, they foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills,
preparing students for real-world challenges.

2. Read the following statements. If you agree with a statement, you write YES next to the
number of the statement. If you disagree with a statement, you write NO next to the number of
the statement. If you write NO, you must give the correct answer or the reason why you do not
agree with the statement.
2.1. The progress of each learner measured by assessment is known as norm-referenced
assessment.
NO. Norm-referenced assessment measures a learner's performance in comparison to other
learners, not just their progress. The correct term for measuring the progress of each learner
against set criteria is criterion-referenced assessment.

2.2. A teacher who sets assessments in such a way that it is relatively easy for learners to pass is
assisting the learners a great deal.
NO. Making assessments easy does not necessarily help learners, as it may not accurately
measure their understanding or skills. Effective assessments should be valid, reliable, and
challenging enough to gauge true competence and encourage learning.

2.3. Every teacher should strive for credibility, dependability, usefulness, objectivity and
economy in compiling and marking assessments.
YES. These qualities are essential for effective assessments, ensuring that they are fair,
accurate, and valuable for both teaching and learning.
