Abstract

In the field of education, there are several types of assessments such as pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment, formative assessment, formative assessment, summative assessment, certification assessment, normative assessment, criterion-referenced assessment, ipsative assessment. All assessment methods have different uses. This article will tell you which types of assessments are most important when developing and implementing your training. Thus, assessments can either focus on students individually or focus on them as a group (i.e. as an entire class, institution or specific program). Formative assessment provides insight into students at the start of a course and offers the opportunity to improve its instruction. The summative evaluation gives you the result of the entire course.
