This document discusses different types of assessment in mathematics education. It defines assessment as a method for teachers to collect student performance data to evaluate learning achievement and identify gaps. There are four main types of assessment discussed: assessment for learning which is formative and informs teaching; assessment of learning which is summative like exams; assessment as learning which focuses on self-monitoring of learning; and traditional vs authentic methods which involve paper tests vs demonstrations of skills. The purposes of assessment are also to customize instruction and provide feedback to students.

2. ASSESSMENT 2
Assessment is a method of gathering your school
performance data that aims to collect information to specify
and verify problems concerning your learning achievement.
Thus, your teacher can make decisions regarding your learning
performance. It is essentially taking a sample of what you do,
making inferences, and estimating the worth of your actions.
Some proof of your learning success can be manifested in
your tests, written works, journals, portfolios, and other
learning tasks (Navarro, et al., 2017).

3. Assessment For Learning 3
This is being used by the teacher to find out the extent of
what you know and what you can do and thereby see the gaps in
learning that you might have. Teacher creates assessments that
will determine if the intended learning targets are achieved by
you and to address the gaps that occur during the process of your
learning formation. This is also referred as formative
assessment; wherein its result serves as a proof that you have
achieved the desired learnings targeted by your teacher.

4. Assessment Of Learning 4
It is usually given towards the end of a course or a
unit in a semestral term. It is being done to determine if
you have achieved the instructional goals and for your
teachers to give you an equivalent mark or grade. What is
the best example for this? Your mid-term or final
examinations.

5. Assessment As Learning 5
– Its focus is on how you efficiently manage your own
learning. It gives important emphasis on metacognition (an
awareness of one’s thoughts and processes). It assumes that
learning is not only about someone who is knowledgeable in
transferring ideas to someone who is not. It means that you, as
students, should not only be passive learners but should be
actively engaged in your own learning. You must also acquire the
mastery to monitor what you are learning and use what you have
discovered from that monitoring.

7. Traditional Method 7
Traditional method generally refers to the written
test or the paper-and-pencil test. This type of test usually
relies on rote memorization of facts.

10. Authentic Method 10
Authentic method involves the demonstration
of your actual performance of what you have
learned from the class. Itis mostly preferred by
many in evaluating the students’ achievement.
