The purpose of assessment is to improve teaching and learning.
Assessment experiences at all levels, could have both positive and
negative consequences for students. They could increase or decrease
their motivation to learn, elicit positive or negative feelings about
themselves and others, and influence their understanding of what it
means to be educated and successful.
It is therefore of utmost
importance for teachers, parents, and students to approach assessments
in the correct manner in order to reap the positive rewards assessments
have to offer, and remove the anxiety students normally experience when
being assessed.
Assessments are part of the learning process and
when approached as such, it will inspire students to become actively
engaged in, and responsible for their own learning; contribute to the
developing confident, independent and self-motivated learners and
advance education as a whole.
The most powerful
assessments are assessments that occur in the daily activities of the
classroom. These integrated assessments promote constant reflection,
self-correction and focused instruction.
