Question

A teacher asks students to create a portfolio of their best work throughout the semester. This is an example of:

• A. Summative assessment
• B. Formative assessment
• C. Diagnostic assessment
• D. Norm-referenced assessment

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Summative assessment

• Involves assessing student performance frequently at the end of units or terms, using techniques like tests or presentations. This is aligned with summative assessment.

• While portfolios can be used formatively, collecting "best work" at the end of a semester to show overall achievement points to summative evaluation.
