QUESTION 2: (8)
...
Assessment, as outlined in the CAPS (Continuous Assessment Policy)
document and further elaborated in the study guide, is defined as a continuous,
planned process aimed at identifying, gathering, and interpreting information
about learners' performance through various assessment forms. The process
encompasses four crucial steps: generating and collecting evidence of
achievement, evaluating this evidence, recording findings, and utilizing this data
to support and enhance learners' development and learning processes.
Importantly, assessment is categorized into two main types: formative and
summative assessment. Formative assessment, or assessment for learning, is
conducted continuously using informal methods to aid both teachers and
learners in ongoing self-reflection, planning, and instructional adjustments.
Summative assessment, or assessment of learning, occurs at the completion
of units or terms, providing a more formal evaluation of learner strengths and
weaknesses, and informing future goal-setting and reporting to stakeholders.
Additionally, baseline assessment is highlighted as essential for determining
learners' prior knowledge, identifying learning gaps, and guiding tailored
instructional planning at the start of an academic year. Assessment should
always be fair, flexible, valid, and reliable to truly benefit the learning
experience.
