The document discusses the implementation of a new assessment pattern with 6 key competencies: 1) critical thinking and problem solving, 2) collaboration and creative thinking, 3) evaluation and inference, 4) value/ethical applications, 5) project and viva, and 6) organizer/portfolio. It defines assessment as the collection of information used to make decisions about students' learning progress. Assessment can be formative to enhance teaching and learning, or summative to evaluate achievement. The new assessment scheme aims to identify gaps, provide feedback, and measure achievement through competency-based evaluations rather than only exams.
