1.1.1 Baseline assessment:

can do and know from previous knowledge. Teachers use this to do planning before
introducing a new concept. Examples include class discussions and informal tests.
1.1.2 Formative assessment:
It is an informal type of assessment the teacher uses to determine how the learner is
making progress towards reaching their academic goals or academic needs. This
information is used to help the teacher plan lessons so it will align with the academic
needs of the learner. Examples include homework and assignments.
1.1.3 Summative assessment:
This is a formal type of assessment and is recorded formally. It is used to determine
if a learner meets the standard or requirement set out to pass a grade or level. It
usually takes place at the end of a learning experience and will determine if a
student can be promoted to a higher level. Examination is an example of this kind of
assessment.
1.1.4 Diagnostic assessment:
This type of assessment can take place at any time during the teaching and learning
process. It is used to identify any learning difficulties or barriers to learning as well as
any learning gaps a learning may have. It can also be used to determine skills,
interests and abilities. Examples include questioning, aptitude tests and
observations.
1.1.5 Recognition of prior learning assessment:
This type of assessment is used to determine if a learner has acquired the skills
needed to be placed in a formal learning system. Examples include observations,
tests and practical investigations.
