(a) Assessment in Mathematics is done only to test if the student knows or does not know the answer. (b) Assessment in Mathematics is designed to test the student's capability of arriving at a unique answer using the correct procedures. (c) Assessment techniques in Mathematics focus on process of learning hence gives scope of discussing multiple ways of doing a problem.  (d) Assessment is focused on testing the memorisation of facts and formulae rather than concept learning.  Choose the correct option 

"Assessment techniques in Mathematics is an important factor that contributes to Mathematics anxiety among students". Which of the following is/are correct reasons for the given statement? (a) Assessment in Mathematics is done only to test if the student knows or does not know the answer. (b) Assessment in Mathematics is designed to test the student's capability of arriving at a unique answer using the correct procedures. (c) Assessment techniques in Mathematics focus on process of learning hence gives scope of discussing multiple ways of doing a problem.  (d) Assessment is focused on testing the memorisation of facts and formulae rather than concept learning.  Choose the correct option  Correct Answer (a), (b) and (d) 

The true definition of assessment is not that it only concentrates on giving greats and marks to the students through pen and paper tests but on recognizing the learning difficulties of students and designing the teaching-learning strategies accordingly to help them overcome those learning difficulties and misconceptions. Key Points"Assessment techniques in Mathematics is an important factor that contributes to Mathematics anxiety among students" as:

  • It is only concentrated on testing and awarding marks to the students accordingly.
  • Assessment in Mathematics is done only to test if the student knows or does not know the answer.
  • Assessment in Mathematics is designed to test the student's capability of arriving at a unique answer using the correct procedures.
  • Assessment is done only in the classroom through pen and paper tests.
  • Assessment is focused on testing the memorization of facts and formulae rather than concept learning. 

​Hence A, B & D are the correct options.Additional Information

On the other hand, the third statement does not indicate that assessment is the reason for mathematical anxiety among students because it gives the true definition of assessment where the focus is on discussing and doing the same problem in multiple ways.

Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second­hand from books or other artificial sources. The knowledge of that which is before us, or about us, which appeals to our experience, passions, and pursuits, to the bosoms and businesses of men, is not learning. Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know. He is the most learned man who knows the most of what is farthest removed from common life and actual observation. The learned man prides himself in the knowledge of names, and dates, not of men or things. He thinks and cares nothing about his next­door neighbours, but he is deeply read in the tribes and castes of the Hindoos and Calmuc Tartars. He can hardly find his way into the next street, though he is acquainted with the exact dimensions of Constantinople and Peking. He does not know whether his oldest acquaintance is a knave or a fool, but he can pronounce a pompous lecture on all the principal characters in history. He cannot tell whether an object is black or white, round or square, and yet he is a professed master of the optics and the rules of perspective.
