📚 Introduction to Assessment Purposes
Christian introduces the three purposes of assessment in an educational context: assessment for learning (AfL), assessment of learning (AoL), and assessment as learning (AsL). AfL is formative, used by teachers to inform their teaching and occurs before and throughout the learning sequence to identify progress and gaps. Examples include diagnostic tests, Q&A during discussions, and quizzes. AoL is summative, determining what students have learned against standards or goals, and is conducted at the end of units or chapters. Examples include mastery tests, periodical tests, and achievement tests. AsL is self-assessment, allowing students to reflect on and monitor their progress, which is formative in nature. Reflective journals and insights are examples of AsL.
🔍 Recap of Assessment Purposes
The paragraph summarizes the three purposes of assessment. AfL is conducted by teachers to improve the teaching and learning process. AoL is also done by teachers for grading purposes at the end of units. AsL is conducted by students to monitor their own progress through reflection.

Highlights
Introduction to the three purposes of assessment: assessment for learning, of learning, and as learning.
Assessment for learning (AFL) helps teachers infer student progress to guide their teaching.
Assessment of learning (AOL) is used to evaluate student achievement based on goals or standards.
Assessment as learning (ASL) allows students to reflect on and monitor their own learning progress.
AFL is a formative assessment occurring before and during the learning process to identify progress and gaps.
AFL uses evidence like seat works, diagnostic tests, and quizzes but is not graded.
AOL is summative and used at the end of a unit or chapter to measure learning against standards.
AOL examples include mastery tests, periodical tests, and achievement tests, which are used for grading purposes.
ASL encourages self-directed learning through metacognition, where students evaluate their own progress.
ASL examples include reflective journals and personal reflections to help students monitor learning.
AFL aims to improve the teaching and learning process based on formative assessments.
AOL provides a final assessment of competence and is typically used for grading.
ASL is the highest form of assessment, focusing on student self-assessment and personal growth.
Teachers use AFL to decide whether to reteach content or move forward with lessons.
