DeleteAt the foundational stage, it's essential to move beyond traditional paper-pencil tests and adopt more innovative and child-friendly assessment methods. Some effective forms of assessment include observation, where teachers monitor children's behavior, participation, and engagement during activities. Performance tasks, such as role-plays, presentations, and project-based assessments, allow children to demonstrate their learning in a more practical and creative way. Additionally, portfolios, which collect samples of children's work over time, provide a comprehensive picture of their progress and development. Other forms of assessment include self-assessment, peer assessment, and verbal feedback, which encourage children to reflect on their own learning and take ownership of their progress.
