ASSESSMENT AND TEACHING

Assesment is a prevalent and at times misunderstood term in current instructive

practice. You may be enticed to consider testing and asessing as synonymous terms, yet they
are most certainly not. Test are readied/prepared authoritative prosedures that happen at
identifiable times in an educational programs/curriculum when learners assemble every one
of their offices to offer performance ,knowing and evaluated.
Assessment , then again , is a continuous procedure that envelops a much more wider
domain. At whatever student reacts to a question , offers a remark or tries out another word or
structure.Reading and listening activity for the most part require some kind of productive
performance that the educator certainly judges , however peripheral that judgment might be.
A decent instructor/good teacher never stops to assesss students , whether those assessmen or
intened
Test , then are a subset of evaluation/assessment they are absolutely not by any means
the only shape appraisal that an educator can make. Test can helpful devices, however they
are not just one among procedure system.
In any case, now, you may think , on the off chance that you make appraisal each time
you show something in the classroom , does all teaching include assessment ?
So, The answer depends on your perspective. For ideal learning out how to happen ,
students in the classroom must have the flexibility to tests/experiments.For ideal figuring out
how to happen , students in the classroom must have the flexibility to tests.
In the meantime , during these practice activity , teacher are for sure observing
students' performance and making different assessments of every learner. So What is
Performance-Based Learning and Assessment, and Why is it Important? Because
Performance-based learning and assessment represent a set of strategies for the acquisition
and application of knowledge, skills, and work habits through the performance of tasks that
are meaningful and engaging to students.

INFORMAL AND FORMAL ASSESSMENT

Informal assessment can take a number of forms , unplanned comments and responses For
example including saying : Nice Job! Informal assessment is a procedure for obtaining

information that can be used to make judgements about children's learning behavior and
characteristics or programs using means other than standardized instruments.
Informal assesment does not stop there. A decent arrangement of teacher informal
assessment appraisal is installed in classroom undertakings intended to evoke performance
without

recording

results

and

making

altered

judgments

about

students

compotence.Examples at this end of the continuum are minimal remarks on papers,

reacting/responding to a draft of an essay, advice about how to better affirm/pronounce a
word , a suggestion for a strategy .
Formal assessment are practice/exercise or strategy spesifically intended to take
advantage of a storehouse of aptitude/skill and knowldege. A formal assessment is a
standardized method for testing how well a student has learned the material that has been
taught. Formal assessments create statistical models that can be used to performance of each
student. All the test are formal assessment , but not all formal assessment is testing.

FORMATIVE AND SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

are commonly identified in the literature :
1. Formative assessment
2. Summative assessment
Most of our classroom

assessment is formative assessment . Formative assessment to

evaluating students in the process of forming or which are used to evaluate student
learning progress and achievement at the conclusion of a specific instructional period
usually the skill that growth process. And so when we give the student a suggestio , that
feedback is offered to improve the learners language ability.
A final exam in a course are example of summative assessment . Examples of
summative assessments include:

a midterm exam
