Through the identification of these assessment methods, I will analyse their purpose and the role that they play in the learner’s development; and how these are used to identify learner progress, whilst confirming their knowledge and understanding.
I will explore theories and principles of assessment cover formative and summative assessment; and attempt to critically discuss how equality and diversity impacts on my learners during assessment. Further exploring how this impacts on my own practice and how I can ensure that methods are varied, fair and used according to the diverse range of learners within the course.
Assessment is a vital part of teaching that helps to enable learning all the time, and is why integrated into all the practical lessons I deliver. It allows me to promote motivation, focus and the ability to identify student’s needs, as well as providing feedback to students helping them to progress and develop at a suitable pace. The purpose of assessing is to find out if learning is taking place, judge whether a candidate can consistently perform to the standards specified, in the national occupational standards and meet the assessment required.
