Today I learned there are three types of learning assessments:
Assessment of learning – at some point we have all sat in a large hall, hoping the questions we have studied are on the test.
Assessment for learning – who hasn’t sat there thinking “Please don’t ask me!”
Assessment as learning – self-reflection and iteration are important skills here – “I can do better than that!“
I’m willing to bet that the one you now rely on to figure things out is the one you used least as a kid.
