instructional decisions. Teachers must understand
when and why they wish to assess students. The goal
of the pretest/pre-assessment is to determine the
students' prior knowledge and skills, and the
findings can be utilized by the teachers to determine
where the lesson should begin. Assessments
completed for placement can also be used as a basis
for developing relevant lesson plans. Instructors are
often worried about the kids or children who are
experiencing learning difficulties. The assessment is
always conducted while the student is studying. The
instructor uses a lot of the assessment information to
diagnose and address the student's learning issues.
Following the identification of such learning issues,
the instructor implements various corrective
measures. Short quizzes collect assessment
information that helps teachers improve their
lessons. The formative assessment provides ongoing
input to the teachers and students on various topics.
