Two Types of Assessment Formative assessment is assessment for learning. Its focus is on future achievement. Summative assessment is assessment of learning. It assesses what has been learnt in the past. Dep. Ed Order No. 8, 2015 DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 8

Individual vs Collaborative Formative Assessment Individual Formative Assessment – Enables learners to demonstrate independently what has been learned or mastered through a range of activities such as check-up, quizzes, written exercises, performances, models and even electronic presentations. Collaborative Formative Assessment (peer assessment) – allows students to support each other’s learning. Discussions, role playing, games, and other group activities may also be used as performance-based formative assessment wherein learners support and extend each other’s learning.
