Question 1 [10]
Define the following terms
1.1 Assessor – different staff member (teachers), parents, learners, are responsible for
assessing learners. Everyone involved in the assessment process is called assessor. There are
registered/trained assessors - those who have undergone specific standardize training and non-
registered assessors – those who did not go to training may have learned how to assess
through experiential learning. Assessors need to know whether learners are learning, at what
level they are learning; whether they understand what they are learning and what they still need
to learn. (Textbook, page 7, 10) (2)
1.2 Assessment - It’s a continuous, planned processed of gathering, identifying and interpreting
information about the performance of learners. It involves generating and collecting evidence of
achievement, evaluating this evidenced gathering, recording finding and using this information.
The information is used to too understand and assist learners development in other to improve
teaching and learning. (Textbook, page 6) (2)
1.3 Assessment planning – it start at the beginning when planning teaching and learning.
Assessment is continuous; it must be planned at all levels and steps in teaching and learning
process. An assessment strategy must be determined, specify level of assessment required for
different levels or grades chose and develop assessment activities. (Textbook, page 9) (2)
1.4 Continuous Assessment - learners are assessed during the entire learning process.
Assessment begins when learning start and carries on during the entire teaching and learning
process. The purpose is to guide teaching and encourage learner’s creative thinking.
Continuous assessment includes all types of assessment; therefore it is not a type but an
approach how to assess. (Textbook, page 16) (2)
1.5 Progression – The advancement of a learner from one grade to the next despite the learner
not having completed with all the promotion requirements, Grade R is excluded. (2)
Question 2 [20]

subject. Also design a rubric as an assessment tool with relevant criteria to assess that
assessment activity.

of learning according to Bloom. Use the following categories
