ICT flipped assessment formative use – UGC NET Question

Formative assessment is conducted during the instructional process to provide feedback that can guide teaching and learning adjustments. Online quizzes used periodically in a course help identify misconceptions and measure understanding, allowing interventions before final exams. ICT makes such ongoing assessment efficient and timely. Thus, the purpose described is formative assessment.

Option A:
Option A is correct because the key feature mentioned is monitoring progress during a course, which aligns with formative rather than end point evaluation.

Option B:
Option B, summative, assessment occurs at the end of a course to assign grades or certification and does not focus on continuous adjustment.

Option C:
Option C, placement, assessment is used to assign learners to appropriate levels or groups before instruction.

Option D:
Option D, norm referenced, assessment compares learners to each other and may be applied in either formative or summative contexts but is not defined by timing and feedback as in the question.
