Tests serve as essential checkpoints in the
learning journey, offering valuable insights for
both educators and students. They act as
reliable gauges of our knowledge and skill
acquisition, providing specific feedback on
areas of strength and improvement. Like a
versatile toolkit, different tests serve distinct
functions, ensuring a comprehensive
evaluation of our capabilities across various
domains. Embracing tests as integral
components of the educational process allows
us to refine our understanding and chart a
course towards academic achievement.
Furthermore, tests cultivate a culture of accountability and motivation
within the learning environment. They encourage active engagement with
the material, fostering a sense of responsibility in students for their own
progress. For educators, tests offer invaluable data on individual and
collective learning trends, enabling them to tailor their teaching strategies
effectively. This reciprocal relationship between testing and learning not
only deepens appreciation for the educational process but also empowers
individuals to take charge of their academic success. In essence, tests
serve as catalysts for growth, propelling us towards a more profound and
enriched understanding of the subjects we study. This comprehensive
perspective on assessments is pivotål for a well-rounded educational

 ASSESSMENT FOR
LEARNING
is an ongoing process that monitors student
learning in order to help teachers improve their
teaching and students to improve their learning. It
continuously informs instruction and helps
students manage their own learning.
 ASSESSMENT AS
LEARNING
is also an ongoing process that helps student to
self-reflect, monitor, their own learning and adjust
their learning strategies in order to achieve their
goals and become more self-directed,
metacognitive, independent and successful
learners
 ASSESSMENT OF
LEARNING
measures what and how well the students have
learned at the end of instruction. It determines
whether learning goals and outcomes have been
achieved
DIFFERENT TYPES OF
ASSESSMENT IN EDUCATION
Diagnostic Assessment
before creating the instruction, It’s necessary to
know for what kind of students you’re creating the
instruction. Your goal is to get to know your
student’s strengths and weaknesses and the skills
and knowledge they possess before taking the
instruction.
Formative Assessment

is used in the first attempt of developing

instruction. The goal is to monitor student learning
to provide feedback. It helps identifying the first
gaps in your instruction. Based on this feedback you
will know what to focus on for further expansion for
your instruction
Summative Assessment

is aimed at assessing the extent to which the most

important outcomes at the end of the instruction
have been reached. But it measures more: the
effectiveness of learning, reactions on the
instruction and the benefits on the long-term base
Confirmative Assessment

when your instruction has been implemented in

your classroom, it’s still necessary to take
assessment. Your goal with confirmative
assessment is to find out the instruction is still a
success after a year
Norm-Referenced Assessment

this compares a student’s performance

against an average norms. This could be the
average national norm for the subject History
Criterion-Referred Assessment
it measures student’s performances against a fixed
set of predetermined criteria or learning standards.
It checks what the students are expected to know
and be able to do at a specific stage of their
education
Ipsative Assessment

it measures the performance of a student

against previous performances from that
student. With this method you’re trying to
improve yourself by comparing previous results
SUMMARY
Assessment in Classroom Instruction encompasses a systematic
approach to collecting and interpreting information for
instructional needs, with three key assessment purposes:
Assessment for Learning, Assessment as Learning, and Assessment
of Learning. These assessments, including Diagnostic, Formative,
and Summative types, serve different roles during and after
instruction, aiding in understanding students' strengths, providing
feedback, and evaluating learning outcomes. Additionally,
Confirmative, Non-Referred, Criterion-Referenced, and Ipsative
Assessments play distinct roles in assessing the success of
instruction, comparing performance against norms, standards, and
individual progress, respectively.
