QUESTION 1
Assessment, as outlined in the CAPS (Continuous Assessment Policy) document and
further elaborated in the study guide, is defined as a continuous, planned process aimed at
identifying, gathering, and interpreting information about learners' performance through
various assessment forms. The process encompasses four crucial steps: generating and
collecting evidence of achievement, evaluating this evidence, recording findings, and
utilizing this data to support and enhance learners' development and learning processes.
Importantly, assessment is categorized into two main types: formative and summative
assessment. Formative assessment, or assessment for learning, is conducted continuously
using informal methods to aid both teachers and learners in ongoing self-reflection,
planning, and instructional adjustments. Summative assessment, or assessment of
learning, occurs at the completion of units or terms, providing a more formal evaluation of
learner strengths and weaknesses, and informing future goal-setting and reporting to
stakeholders.
