Qualitative assessment is focused on understanding how people make meaning of
and experience their environment or world

student interests and learning styles are
5. Formative assessment
help teachers understand student learning while they teach, and provide
them with information to adjust their teaching strategies accordingly.
6. Summative assessments
measure student progress as an assessment of learning. Standardized
tests are a type of summative assessment and provide data for you,
school leaders and district leaders.
7. Norm-referenced assessments
are tests designed to compare an individual to a group of their peers,
usually based on national standards and occasionally adjusted for age,
ethnicity or other demographics.
8. Criterion-referenced assessments
Criterion-referenced assessments compare the score of an individual
student to a learning standard and performance level, independent of
other students around them.
In the classroom, this means measuring student performance against
grade-level standards and can include end-of-unit or final tests to assess
student understanding.
9. Performance -Based Assessment
A performance assessment is an assessment of the standard of your
professional performance. It provides us with an independent opinion
regarding your fitness to practise. The purpose of the assessment is not to
investigate whether any allegations made against you are true or to
investigate any specific allegations.

your needs and goals in order to streamline your product mix.

the methodology used, and the major findings. Regarding title, instead
of giving a general, topic-like title, be specific and emphasize the explicit
nature of the work.
12. Research Paper
A research paper is an essay in which you explain what you have learned
after exploring your topic in depth. In a research paper, you
include information from sources such as books, articles, interviews,
and Internet sites. You also use your own ideas, knowledge, and
opinions.
13. Log or Journal
What is difference between log and journal?
When keeping a learning journal, the emphasis is on making explicit and

demonstrate what they know and are able to do through open-ended tasks
such as constructing an answer, producing a project, or performing an
activity.
16. Play-based Assessment
A play-based approach involves both child-initiated and teacher-
supported learning. The teacher encourages children's learning and
inquiry through interactions that aim to stretch their thinking to higher levels
17. debate assessments
A debate involves students in researching and analyzing a controversial
topic based on a stance which will lead to a series of oral presentation
of standpoints and arguments by the two opposite teams (sometimes
may involve interaction with the audience as well).
