Quick Facts: Assessment & Evaluation

What is Assessment *for* Learning?

This is Formative Assessment. It is used during the teaching process to find out what students know and can do, and to provide them with feedback for improvement.

What is Assessment *of* Learning?

This is Summative Assessment. It is used at the end of a learning period (like a unit or semester) to measure what students have learned and to assign a grade (e.g., final exams, projects).

What is Assessment *as* Learning?

This is a process where students actively monitor and evaluate their *own* learning. It involves self-assessment and peer-assessment, promoting metacognition.

What is the difference between Validity and Reliability?

Reliability is about consistency (getting the same result every time). Validity is about accuracy (measuring the right thing). A test can be reliable without being valid, but it cannot be valid unless it is reliable.
