TYPES OF ASSESSMENTS
1. Diagnostic Assessment
2. Formative Assessment
3. Summative Assessment
DIGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT
This Method Aims To Understand The Skills,
Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Student
Before Instructions Are Given In The
Classroom. For Instance, Before You Explain
Word-Formation To Your Class, You Need To
Ensure That The Students Understand The
Letters Of The Alphabet And Their Sounds.
 FormativeAssessment
Formative Assessment Tracks The Student’s
Performance During The Course And Not At The
End. As Teachers Can Gauge Progress While They
Teach, This Method Allows Them To Alter The
Course Along The Way, If Needed. Formative
Assessment Can Be Done Through:

Discussions In Class
Regular Quizzes
Group Projects
Portfolios
 SummativeAssessment
This Is The Most Traditional Form Of Assessment, Where A Student’s
Understanding Of The Curriculum Is Evaluated At The End Of The Course.
Summative Assessments, Though Cost-Effective, Don’t Always Provide
Clear Feedback On A Person’s Learning Progress. Further, Summative
Assessments Tend To Promote The Test Mindset, Focusing More On The
Final Standardized Test Than The Learning Process.
However, Summative Assessments Can Be Engaging And Effective If You
Give Your Students Creative Assignments, Such As:

Shooting A V ideo
Writing A Script
Making Presentations
