The National Policy on Education (1986) emphasizes that at school level, evaluation should be formative or developmental in nature. At this stage, the child is in formative stage of learning. She/ he wants to discuss and clarify many doubts for better conceptual clarity. Unless we assess learner's efforts, performance, attitudes to learning and abilities to apply what is learned in every day situations, we may not be able to help him/ her in improving his/her learning. Hence through formative assessment, causes of poor performance are diagnosed using diagnostic tests and promptly remediated by giving interventions followed by retesting.This question is closed for further participation.
