ASSESSMENT OF

LEARNING
 PURPOSES OF ASSESSMENT
• Assessment for learning–is intended to provide the teachers the information about
students’ knowledge, understanding and skills to vary and differentiate teaching and
learning activities
• Assessment as learning – is a process of involving students in the learning process
where they monitor their own progress, ask questions and practice skills. This supports
the metacognition, the knowledge of one’s own thought processes, of the students for
which they are active, engaged, and critical assessors of their learning.
• Assessment of learning –is designed to assists teachers in using evidence on student
learning so as to assess student achievement against learning goals and standards. This
is summative in nature and it is used to verify what students know and can do and
determine further whether they have achieved with respect to the curriculum outcomes.
