An Introduction to Student Assessment
Student assessment is the systematic process of gathering and interpreting information about what students know, understand, and can do with their knowledge as a result of their educational experiences. It encompasses a wide range of methods and tools used to evaluate student learning and development. At its core, assessment aims to provide a clear picture of student progress, identify areas of strength and weakness, and ultimately, to improve teaching and learning. This process is not just about assigning grades; it's a vital component of the educational ecosystem that informs instruction, curriculum development, and policy decisions.
