AED3701 ASSIGNMENT 1 Assessment of learning – in this type of assessment, evidence is collected for summative judgement of learner’s performance. Teachers use this assessment to identify learner’s skills and knowledge gaps. Assessment of learning occurs when teachers use evidence of student learning to make judgements on learner’s achievement against goals and standards. For example, classroom discussion and observation. 2. Assessment for learning – this assessment is done throughout the teaching and learning process to constantly adjust instructional strategy. It helps teachers to identify learner’s progress in a specific topic. Assessment for learning holds the key to good teaching .it offers to traditional assessment in school.

Authentic assessment – in an assessment made on learners whose activities or skills are assessed through real world tasks, which would require them apply their skills and knowledge. It helps in assessing the individual in a better way as he or she applies their skills and knowledge. For example, in arts a learner can be taught how to draw, but some drawings will need a learner to apply skills to a certain given task. 5. Systematic assessment – systematic assessment of student learning refers to gathering information about the knowledge gained by students and analyzing that in order to find out the effectiveness and efficiency of learning to students. This assessment is very important to teachers because they get to know about the effectiveness of their teaching skills by linking the student’s performances to certain learning objects. For example, without systematic assessment, a teacher would not be able to find out which teaching method is most effective and which method he should be abandoned.
