ASSESSMENT REQUIREMENTS Both formal and informal assessments must be done. Learners should receive frequent feedback to improve the learning experience. 1.
Informal or daily assessment The goal of this assessment is to continuously gather information regarding learners’ performance, which is then used to improve learning. It requires daily monitoring of learners’ progress. This is done through observation, discussion, practical demonstrations and informal interactions during class. The activities completed during the lessons are a method of informal assessment. It does not have to be marked and does not count any marks. It is important to discuss the learners’ answers with them. It helps the learners form a better understanding of and insight into the lesson theme.
