    The document discusses three purposes of assessment: assessment of learning, assessment for learning, and assessment as learning. Assessment of learning, also called summative assessment, measures student competency and achievement at the end of a learning period to determine grades. Assessment for learning, or formative assessment, provides feedback to students to help them improve during the learning process. Assessment as learning involves self-assessment and reflection to help students monitor and take responsibility for their own learning. The key difference between summative and formative assessment is how the results are used.

    Purposes of assessment

    What makes an assessment “summative” is not the design of the test


    or assignment but the way it is used.

    Assessment focuses on gathering information about student


    achievement to make instructional decisions. Grading is an end‐point
    judgment about student achievement. (Tomlinson & McTighe, 2006)
