Detailed Explanation
Understanding Assessment Paradigms
In contemporary pedagogy, distinguishing between different types of educational assessment is crucial for effective teaching and learning:
- Assessment for Learning (Formative): Conducted during the teaching-learning process to provide constructive feedback, identify learning gaps, and modify instruction.
- Assessment of Learning (Summative): Conducted at the end of an instructional unit or term to evaluate student achievement against established standards.
- Assessment as Learning (Metacognitive): Involves students actively monitoring and critically reflecting on their own learning processes, fostering self-regulation and metacognition.
Therefore, option B accurately captures the epistemological and functional differences among the three approaches.
