This document discusses assessment in teaching and learning. It defines assessment as identifying, gathering, and interpreting information about students' learning. There are four main types of assessment: formative, summative, diagnostic, and authentic. The role of information and communication technology (ICT) in assessment is also examined. ICT allows results to be easily stored, retrieved, and used to provide immediate feedback. It increases transparency compared to traditional methods. Current trends in assessment include using multiple measures, more technology, focusing on student growth, and differentiating teacher and administrator roles. Criteria for choosing appropriate assessment tools are also covered.
