What is the main goal of 'assessment for learning' ?
Answer: C
The main goal is to provide feedback to students that can be used to improve their learning.
Assessment for learning is formative assessment: it is carried out during teaching to find out where learners are, give them feedback on what to do next, and adjust instruction. Its purpose is improvement, not judgement.
Assigning grades and comparing performance with a standard or benchmark are the purposes of assessment of learning, which is summative. Labelling children as 'slow learners' is against the spirit of assessment for learning altogether.
