Education assessment refers to the process of evaluating a student's learning, skills, and understanding in a specific subject or area. This can include various methods such as tests, quizzes, projects, and observations. The goal is to measure how well students grasp the material and identify areas where they may need additional support. Assessments can be formative or summative. Formative assessments are conducted during the learning process to provide ongoing feedback, while summative assessments occur at the end of a learning period to evaluate overall achievement. Both types play a crucial role in guiding instruction and improving educational outcomes.
