Under the Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) system, which of the following fundamental theoretical distinctions between 'Formative Assessment' and 'Summative Assessment' is most appropriate regarding their objectives and usage?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE), 'Formative Assessment' is used to monitor student progress during the teaching-learning process and diagnose learning difficulties so that immediate improvements can be made. In contrast, 'Summative Assessment' is conducted at the end of a prescribed curriculum or academic session to measure the overall performance of the student.
Key Differences:
- Formative Assessment: Diagnostic, process-oriented, and provides ongoing feedback.
- Summative Assessment: Evaluative, product-oriented, and measures final achievement at the end of a term.
