forces summative AND FORMATIVE ASSESSMENTS
This assessment was a summative test that was administered to students after completion of a Unit on Forces. Summative tests are used to determine how much the students have learnt after completion of the unit. This form of assessment is paper based and has it downfalls, however it provides the teacher with quantitative data about the progression of each student. Since the system present in assessing students via examinations are still paper based examinations, teachers need to carry out these types of assessments to prepare their students for these exams. However, this does not benefit those students who think and express their understanding of concepts using different multiple intelligences such as visual and kinesthetic etc. therefore curriculum changes can be made to introduce varying types of assessments for major examinations such as CSEC to fully assess the knowledge of our students.
Formative assessments were also used to evaluate students understanding after the delivery of each lesson. The formative assessments used were paper-based as well.
