5. Formative Assessment
• The assessment made during the instructional phase to
let the teacher know about learner’s progress in learning
and what more is to be done.
• It helps the process of diagnosis and remedial instruction
• Provide feedback to students and teachers to promote
further learning.
• Assessment for learning

6. Summative Assessment
• The assessment made at the end of the
instruction.
• Students demonstrate their mastery and
knowledge of the course content.
• It is used primarily for assigning course grades,
selection, promotion, prediction, etc.
• It also provides information for judging the
appropriateness of the course objectives and the
effectiveness of instruction.

7. Criterion Referenced Assessment
• Measures student’s performances against
an explicit previously determined
standard.
• No attempt is made to compare students
with one another
• Emphasis is on identifying what the
student has achieved and has yet to
achieve.

8. Norm Referenced Assessment
• Performance of students is assessed relative to
others in the group
• Compare one student with other
• Provide a measure of performance that is
interpretable in terms of an individual’s relative
standing in a known group

9. Ipsative Assessment
• How well the student has performed
compared with their own previous efforts
• Appropriate form of assessment when
students set their own learning objectives
