_____________assessments are sets of written questions (multiple choice or short answer) that assess a learner's current knowledge base or current views on a topic/issue to be studied in the course?

Correct answer: C. Diagnosis

  • A. Placement
  • B. Formative
  • C. Diagnosis
  • D. Summative

Explanation

Written pre-assessment questions about learners’ current knowledge or views help diagnose what they already understand before a topic is taught. They therefore guide planning and support rather than measure final course achievement.

About Assessment and Evaluation

Assessment gathers evidence of learning, while evaluation uses that evidence to judge achievement, teaching or a programme. Coverage includes formative and summative assessment, diagnostic and placement tests, validity, reliability, objectivity, scoring, grading, feedback, and norm-referenced versus criterion-referenced interpretation. Measurement supplies numerical results, but evaluation involves a broader judgement.
