| Set I (Evaluation system) | Set II (Descriptive features) |
| (A) Formative evaluation | (i) Comparing the students performance with that of others |
| (B) Summative evaluation | (ii) Indicating standards of mastery |
| (C) Norm-referenced testing | (iii) Diagnosing students' problems |
| (D) Criterion-referenced testing | (iv) Identifying scope for improvement |
| Â | (v) Judging learning standards |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- Option : A
- Explanation : Formative assessment refers to the range of
formal and informal assessment procedures
conducted by teachers during the
learning process to measure participants'
development at that particular time and
diagnose the lapses and requirements;
so that teaching and learning processes/
activities could be modified to improve
student attainment. So, it identifies scope
for improvement.
Summative assessment is carried out after the completion of a course/programme to assess its achievement /outcome/success. So, it judges leaning standards.
Norm-referenced testing measures the position of a student in a class/group- with respect to the trait being measured. So, it compares a student's performance with others.
Criterion referenced testing evaluates and grades students' learning against a set of pre-specified criteria, without reference to the achievement of others. So, it indicates the standards of mastery.
