Which of the following statement aptly describes the purpose of a diagnostic assessment ?

  • A.To identify the areas where students may need additional support or instruction.
  • B.To give students the opportunity to critically assess the work of their peers.
  • C.To identify the attitude patterns of students and design a career guidance programme as per their needs.
  • D.To provide feedback to the teacher about their teaching methods.

Answer: A

A diagnostic assessment aims to identify the areas where students may need additional support or instruction.

Diagnostic assessment pinpoints specific strengths, gaps and misconceptions, often before or early in teaching, so that the teacher can plan remedial instruction for individual students.

Peer assessment is a different practice, an attitude survey for career guidance is not diagnosis of learning, and feedback about teaching methods is a by-product of assessment generally, not the defining purpose of diagnostic assessment.
