- A – III (Assessment for learning): Here, assessment is used as a tool to improve the learning process. Teacher comments on drafts enable students to improve their work before final submission – a typical form of formative assessment.
- TB – I (Assessment as learning): Involving students in peer assessment with reflection contributes to the development of their metacognitive skills. Assessment is integrated into the learning process, and through it students learn about quality and criteria.
- C – II (Assessment of learning): This example represents summative assessment – the final outcome (presentation and written assignment) is assessed based on defined criteria. It serves to determine the level of achievement of learning outcomes.
