Why do we need to assess ?For students , it helps us :• Determine Ss strengths
ad weaknesses .• Determine learning styles of our pupils .• Learn about Ss interests
in various topics . Place students into learning groups based on achievement and personality factors .
Monitor and follow the progress of individual pupils . Diagnose the group's learning progress as a whole . Provide feed-back about students' achievements.
Assessment helps the teacher in :
- Planning instructional activities and what to teach . - Discovering what pupils have learned and what they still need to learn. - Determining how to adapt instruction
for student needs and learning styles. - Determining which content to include , which content to exclude from instruction.
- Evaluating the effectiveness of out teaching methods.
- Assigning grades and giving other feedback to students and parents.
