The document discusses different types of assessments:
Developmental assessment measures a child's physical and cognitive development. Formative assessment allows educators to change their teaching based on student feedback. Summative assessment evaluates student learning at the end of an instructional unit against standards. Diagnostic assessment determines a learner's current knowledge through pre- and post-tests. Traditional assessment refers to paper tests measuring lower-level thinking through multiple choice, true/false, and matching questions.

Developmental assessment involves the measure of a child’s attainment of physical or cognitive skills that allow continued maturation, learning, and function in society. Assessment development is a perpetual challenge for educators, because of concerns of assessment validity and fairness to learner. 2. What is Formative Assessment? Formative assessments permit educators to make changes in accordance with their prospectuses, the substance, and the informative procedures utilized. For students, developmental evaluations can assist them with decreasing course uneasiness and measure potential holes that exist between wanted learning objectives and their present information level. 3. What is Summative Assessment? The goal of summative assessment is to evaluate student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against some standard or benchmark. Summative assessments are often high stakes, which means that they have a high point value. Examples of summative assessments include: a midterm exam. A final project. 4. What is Diagnostic Assessment? Diagnostic assessments are sets of written questions (multiple choice or short answer) that assess a learner’s current knowledge base or current views on a topic/issue to be studied in the course. This method allows instructors and students to chart their learning progress by comparing pre- and post-tests results. 5. What is Traditional Assessment? Traditional assessments are “tests” taken with paper and pencil that are usually true/false, matching, or multiple choice. These assessments are easy to grade, but only test isolated application, facts, or memorized data at lower-level thinking skills.
