CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Formative assessments are frequent, daily or weekly, learning checks that guide both the teacher and the student on two areas: where the student has achieved mastery and where the student needs additional support.

Detailed explanation-2: -Formative assessment occurs when teachers feed information back to students in ways that enable the student to learn better, or when students can engage in a similar, self-reflective process. The evidence shows that high quality formative assessment does have a powerful impact on student learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -A formative assessment or assignment is a tool teachers use to give feedback to students and/or guide their instruction. It is not included in a student grade, nor should it be used to judge a teacher’s performance. Both of these would be considered summative assessments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Formative assessments are central to the teaching-learning process. They can help improve student outcomes if part of a fair, valid, and reliable process of gathering, interpreting and using information generated throughout the student learning process (Global Education Monitoring Report Team, 2020).
