This document discusses various methods for assessing student performance. It describes formative assessment which occurs during instruction to inform teaching and learning. Summative assessment evaluates learning at the end of a unit or course. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are outlined, including projects, portfolios, debates and oral presentations. The document also covers norm-referenced, criterion-referenced, and performance-based assessments.
2. Classroom Assessment
Continuous observation process

Formative assessment Sumative assessment
6. It is a standardized test that
compares individual student
performance to a sample
population.
This type of evaluation helps:

• Determine the preparation of young
students.
It allows to evaluate someone based on a
specific group.
They determine the scope of:
• Ability.

Against a predetermined standard, goal, level
or criteria.
Scores can be expressed as a
percentage
• Scores can be expressed as a percentage
of the total possible number of correct
answers.
• Individual student scores are not affected
by the performance of their peers.
Norm-referenced evaluation Criterion-referenced evaluation
7. Performance-based assessment
Allow teachers to make decisions:
• How to make the right decisions and advance the promotion of the student and
truly strive to achieve the curricular goals?
• How to design, build, score, analyze and interpret results?
• What are the most appropriate techniques?
• How to involve students in the process?
• How to create a convenient test environment without negative emotions?
• How to improve student performance?
• This non-reflective practice fails to measure students' current
performance and impedes a critical understanding of learning
progress toward the goal.
• Results can be evident through an effective preparation process
that focuses on the ability to integrate a variety of skills.
8. • It requires effective methods, techniques and resources that
allow making the right and appropriate decisions in the
teaching-learning process.
