Meaning and concept Assessment is a good technique in field of educational measurements,It is the scheme of evaluating evidence of all changes and judging the direction and extent of changes.It helps in giving worthful learning process According to Carter V.Good, "Evaluation is a process of ascertaining or judging the values or amount of something by use of standard appraisal."
Types of assessment in learning- There are different types of assessment in education. All assessment methods have different purposes during and after instruction.Assessments are most important during developing and implementing your instruction to the students.Formative and summative are two main types of assessment. The other types are Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment, Interim assessment,Confirmative assessment, Norm-referenced assessment, Criterion-referenced assessment.
There are many different types of formative assessments. It’s worth noting that it isn’t the structure of the testing that makes it formative. Rather, it’s how teachers use the assessments.

Intentional questioning strategies to find out what students know Evaluative prompts to encourage self-assessment, such as, “How could you improve this assignment?” Low-stakes quizzes and polls — ones that aren’t graded (or, if they are, account for a very minor fraction of the final grade) Entry slips that show what students know before the lesson begins Exit tickets used to assess students’ understanding of lesson material quickly
Conclusion- When a comprehensive assessment program at the classroom level balances formative and summative assessment of student learning/achievement information ,a clear picture emerges of where a student is related to learning standard and targets. both formative and summative assessment together forms a system of learning and improvement both for the students and the teachers which in the end helps them to give and get the most out of the learning process in school.

The general goal of formative assessment is to collect more information that can be used to improve a student learning while it’s happening. What makes an assessment “formative” is not the design of a test, technique, or self-evaluation, but the way it is used—i.e., to inform in-process teaching and learning modifications.Formative assessments have common disparity with summative assessments, which are used to evaluate student learning progress and achievement at the conclusion of a specific instructional period—usually at the end of a project, unit, course, semester, program, or school year. In other words, formative assessments are for learning, while summative assessments are of learning.

* Introduction:- In other words formative assessments are four learning, while summative assessments are of learning. While formative assessment help teachers identify learning needs and problems, in many cases the assessment also help students develop a strong understanding of their own academic strengths and weakness. When student know what they do well and what they need to work harder on it can help them take greater responsibility over their own learning and academic progress.
