• A. Assessment in learning
• B. Assessment as learning
• C. Formative assessment
• D. Summative assessment

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Summative assessment

• Summative assessment measures and quantifies how much a learner has learned at the end of a unit, term, or course (e.g., final exams, term-end tests). It gives marks or grades.

Other options:

• Assessment in learning – Ongoing assessment during learning to improve teaching and learning.

• Assessment as learning – Learners reflect on and monitor their own learning.

• Formative assessment – Continuous assessment used to improve learning, not mainly to quantify it.
