Purpose of Assessment:
ReplyDeleteAs I've read out these types of assessments I came to a point that each type covers specific region that can help us to make a final report.
Diagnostic assessment is basically the 1st step wehere you discover the capabilities of students to start the process.
Summative assessment helps to make a judgement at different stages.
Formative assessment is basically to monitor individuals.
Informal assessment collects data by interacting with individuals to know how much knowledge they have for a specific thing and formal assessment collets data py their practical work.
According to my point of view these are the purpose of these different types.

DIAGNOSTIC ASSESSMENT: The beginning assessment of students that determines student’s individual strength, interest, weakness and level of achievements.
SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT: The end assessment of participant’s achievements where it focusses on outcomes.
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT: Monitoring of student throughout the course or on day to day learning experience to provide meaningful feedback.
INFORMAL ASSESSMENT: Observing students from their behavior in class and interacting with them so they can tell what they know or understand about the topic.
FORMAL ASSESSMENT: Using specific assessment strategies like exams, presentations, projects etc. to determine their capabilities. Something that is marks related or something with a proper channel.
