Question 2
2.1) Various assessors may assess learners’ work in a school context. Explain.
The teacher and/or the learners, and/or a moderator may assess learner’s work in a
school context. The teacher as an assessor assesses both formative and summative
assessment activities and then gives feedback to learners on whether they
understand the content knowledge, as well as establish the effectiveness of the
teaching methods used and what must still be learnt. The moderator, which is usually
the Head of a Department, needs to assure the quality of summative assessments
and as means to accomplish this he/she will assess some of what the teacher has
assessed. Lastly an assessor may include a learner himself/herself. Learners may be
asked to assess their own work (Self-assessment), as well as their fellow learners’
work (Group or Peer assessment).
2.2) Assessment may be regarded as the vehicle driving teaching and learning.
Explain this notion in your own words.
Teaching can not occur without assessment and learning can not occur without a
learner being assessed, therefor teaching, learning and assessment are intertwined,
and each component is important in order to achieve the best result. Through
assessment important information about learners’ abilities are gathered and this
information can be used to modify and improve teaching and learning activities.
