QUESTION 1
1.1 Discuss the Basic Terms of Assessment
Assessment is a crucial part of the educational process, providing a means to evaluate
the effectiveness of teaching and the extent of student learning. Understanding the
basic terms associated with assessment is essential for educators to create a fair and
effective learning environment.
First, we look at the different types of assessment. Formative assessment occurs during
the learning process and aims to provide ongoing feedback to both students and
teachers about learning progress. This type of assessment helps identify areas where
students need additional support and guides instructional adjustments. Examples of
formative assessment include quizzes, class discussions, and homework assignments.
Summative assessment takes place at the end of an instructional period, evaluating
student learning against predefined standards or benchmarks. These assessments are
typically used to assign grades and measure the effectiveness of instructional
programs. Examples include final exams, standardized tests, and end-of-term projects.
Diagnostic assessment is conducted before instruction begins, helping to identify
students' existing knowledge, skills, and learning needs. This information is crucial for
planning effective instruction that addresses students' specific strengths and
weaknesses. Examples include pre-tests and initial skill assessments.
Norm-referenced assessment compares a student's performance to that of a peer
group. It is designed to rank students and identify those who perform above or below
the norm. Standardized tests like the SAT are examples of norm-referenced
assessments.
Criterion-referenced assessment measures student performance against a set standard
or criterion rather than comparing them to other students. This type of assessment is
useful for determining whether students have achieved specific learning objectives.
Examples include driving tests and skill certifications.
