Classroom assessments are designed for the overall development of a child. These are designed by teachers so that a student may understand the related topics and enhance their depth of learning.

Teachers who develop useful assessments provide instructions and give the students a chance so that they are able to learn the taught topic to the best.

Types of Classroom Assessments

Popular kinds of assessment that are practiced in schools are:

鈥� Formative Assessment: It takes place during the beginning. It helps to analyze the strengths and the weakness of the students and should be completed as per instructions given by a teacher.

鈥� Summative Assessment: It is given when the instructions are implemented. It aims to access the extent to which important outcomes at the end of the school have been reached.

Advantages of Classroom Assessments

These assessments have a great impact on a child鈥檚 learning; let鈥檚 check some of its benefits:

鈥� Designed for specific purposes

These assessments are designed for specific purposes such as accountability. They help the teachers to improve their instructions and modify their approach to suit individual students. The assessments help a teacher to analyze the student鈥檚 level in context of understanding of a particular topic as it is directly related to classroom instruction goals.

鈥� Meaningful resource

For better understanding of the topic, the teacher makes improvements and makes sure that these assessments form an integral part of the instruction process. These also serve as meaningful resources for the teachers as it helps them to identify the taught topics and the topics that are required to be worked upon.

These are equally helpful for students because they can realize how well they can guess what their teachers shall ask in the classroom. These are specifically useful for supporting the low-attaining students, those who find difficulty in understanding the topic.

鈥� Boost confidence

With the assessments, the teachers encourage students to talk about their learning and keep an eye what鈥檚 needed accurately. With assessments and routine feedback, children can sort out small problems, misunderstandings and form better links between the ideas.

Daily assessments motivate students to work hard on the given challenges and also encourage them to think and analyze about the given concepts so that they can solve their queries on their own. It also helps to develop their identities as capable learners.

Classroom Assessments Enhance Learning

鈥� Teachers find out what the students know, what they partly know and what they do not know so that the future follow-on activities can advance their learning skills.

鈥� AFL (Assessment for learning) is very useful for students who find difficulty in understanding the topic, it refocuses their attitude towards assessment as something that can help them learn rather highlighting their in-competencies.

鈥� AFL is equally beneficial for intelligent students as it offers them a more challenging curriculum that mainly focuses on their progress rather than to meet their targets.

Thus, assessments in a classroom are important, and with different kinds of assessments a teacher is able to evaluate the students effectively.
