4. Methods and procedures of initial assessment
Initial assessment (Diagnostic Assessment ) is the process of identifying an
individual´s learning and support needs to enable the design of an individual
learning plan which will provide the structure for their learning. It´s the
learner´s starting point for their learning programme / internship.
Learning needs are the knowledge, skills and competence which a learner
needs to acquire during the internship or training programme. Support needs
are the additional help that a learner requires to enable them to adress
barriers which may otherwise prevent them from fulfilling their learning
programme. (source)

Learner Information to be Considered During Initial Assessment

5. Methods and procedures of initial assessment
This section describes some of the different methods used by providers to
undertake initial assessment with learners.
The methods fall into six groups:
• Appraisal of written information, such as learners application forma,
records of achievement, progress files and references
• Individual interviews
• Formal tests
• Learner questionnnaires
• Oberserved group activities
• Practical vocational activities

6. An introduction to
formative and summative assessment
Many people assume that ‘assessment’ means taking a test,
but assessment is broader than that.
There are two main types of
assessment: summative assessment
and formative assessment.
These are sometimes referred to as assessment of learning
and assessment for learning, respectively.

8. Methods and procedures of formative assessment
 Formative assessment takes place on a day-to-day basis
during teaching and learning, allowing teachers and pupils
to assess attainment and progress more frequently.
 It begins with diagnostic assessment, indicating what is
already known and what gaps may exist in skills or
knowledge. If a teacher and pupil understand what has
been achieved to date, it is easier to plan the next steps.
 As the learning continues, further formative assessments
indicate whether teaching plans need to be amended to
reinforce or extend learning.

9. Methods and procedures of formative assessment
 Formative assessments may be questions, tasks, quizzes
or more formal assessments. Often formative
assessments may not be recorded at all, except perhaps in
the lesson plans drawn up to address the next steps
indicated.

10. Methods and procedures of summative assessment
 Summative assessment sums up what a learner has
achieved at the end of a period of time, relative to the
learning aims and the relevant national standards.
The period of time may vary, depending on what the
teacher wants to find out. There may be an assessment at
the end of a topic, at the end of a term or half-term, at the
end of a year or, as in the case of the national curriculum
tests, at the end of a key stage or intern/apprenticeship.

11.  A summative assessment may be a written test, an
observation, a conversation or a task. It may be recorded
through writing, through photographs or other visual media,
or through an audio recording.
 Whichever medium is used, the assessment will show what has
been achieved. It will summarise attainment at a particular
point in time and may provide individual and cohort data that
will be useful for tracking progress and for informing
stakeholders (e.g. parents, governors, etc.).

12. Evaluation in real work situations
Assessment is at the heart of industry training. On-job
assessment allows trainees to demonstrate their skills and
knowledge in real work settings. On-job assessment has a
real impact on the trainee, workplace and people
undertaking the assessment.

14. Document Evaluation
Documentation should also be provided on any differences
between targeted and achieved learning outcomes and/or any
changes to the agreed assessment procedures.
In many cases, assessment results and related documentation
will be used to inform the process of developing a Personal
Transcript in which the learning and skills acquired during a
(short or long-duration) mobility/internship period are
presented for an individual learner.
