FEATURES OF SCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENT :

  • Multiple resources are used to collect information.
  • Based on multiple pieces of evidence.
  • Multiple aspects of learning are assessed.
  • Takes care of the all-round development of learners.
  • Repeated many times as assessment for learning, assessment as learning, assessment of learning.
  • Provides timely feedback to the learners.
  • Collective learning among all concerned - learner, teacher, parents, and school. 

Key Points

As in the above question, the teacher is assessing the learners in many ways including 

  • observation
  • peer assessment
  • unit test 
  • involvement in drawing

So this becomes a school-based assessment. 

Additional Information

  • Observation is carried out by a teacher while the student is involved in any activity or performing any task assigned by the teacher 
  • Summative assessment is done at the last of the academic year to obtain the overall or final results of the student for his performance throughout the year, Once this is done there will be no chance for the learner to correct his mistakes or improve his learning for that particular year.
  • The peer assessment technique is nothing but an assessment done by a student's peers rather than a teacher. Peers only assess and provide feedback on a student's performance.
