Discussion
Which of the following statements is not correct about assessment ?
Answer: A
The incorrect statement is that norm-referenced assessment is useful in diagnostic testing and remedial teaching.
Norm-referenced assessment compares each student with others in a group and ranks them (statement 4 is correct). A rank tells you where a child stands, not which concepts or skills the child has missed, so it is of little use for diagnosis and remediation.
Criterion-referenced assessment judges each student against fixed learning objectives. It shows exactly what a child has and has not mastered, so it evaluates mastery learning (statement 2) and is the kind of assessment used for diagnostic testing and remedial teaching (statement 3).
