Learn
about the assessment and testing process used to diagnose learning
disabilities. Learn how tests and assessments are used in schools to identify
learning disabilities and develop programs. There are 8 types of assessment
such as formative, summative, informal, diagnostic, placement, progress,
achievement and proficiency.
Formative
assessment or diagnostic testing is a range of formal and informal assessment
procedures employed by teachers during the learning process in order to modify
teaching and learning activities to improve student attainment. It typically
involves qualitative feedback for both student and teacher that focus on the
details of content and performance.
Summative
assessment refers to the assessment of participants, and summarizes their
development at a particular time. In contrast to formative assessment, the
focus is on the outcome of a program.
Informal
assessment is a procedure for obtaining information that can be used to make
judgments about children's learning behavior and characteristics or programs
using means other than standardized instruments.
Placement
Testing is about the placement tests that colleges and universities use to
assess college readiness and place students into their initial classes.
Achievement
assessment is a test designed to measure the knowledge or proficiency of an
individual in something that has been learned or taught, as arithmetic or
typing.
To sum up, assessment
and testing have many benefits for teacher such as able to assess the student's
ability to be organized and focused under pressure, ability to test the
student's capacity to draw on a wide range of knowledge and to synthesis and
identify recurrent themes, and so on. So teacher should have an expert about
this before uses in the real teach.
