Discussion
Which of these statements is CORRECT regarding the two major types of assessment ?
Answer: A
The correct statement is Formative assessment goes on continuously through the learning phase.
Formative assessment is ongoing: the teacher checks understanding throughout teaching, through questions, observation, quizzes and feedback, and uses the information to adjust instruction while learning is happening.
The other statements are wrong. Summative assessment comes at the end of a unit, term or year, not before and during learning. 'Formative' refers to forming, shaping learning as it develops, not to the 'form' of learning. And summative assessment is an evaluation of achievement at a point, not the 'sum total of every form of assessment'.
