Dear student,
Engage with the learning materials of unit 6 and do all related activities.
4. Assessment strategies
4.3. Diagnostic assessment strategies
Diagnostic assessment is used before teaching begins to identify students’ existing knowledge and skills, helping to tailor instruction to meet their needs. Examples of diagnostic assessment strategies:
- Pre-tests: A test administered before starting a unit to measure what students already know about the subject.
- Post-test: assess the gains in knowledge or skills that students have made as a result of the instruction. It helps determine if the students have understood and can apply the material taught during the learning period.
- Surveys/questionnaires: These can help identify students’ interests, learning preferences, and prior knowledge.
