Question

For the below Assertion [As] and Reason [R], choose the correct alternative:
Assertion [As]: Formative evaluation tends to accelerate the pace of learning.
Reason [R]: As against summative evaluation, formative evaluation is highly reliable.

• A. Both [As] and [R] are true, and [R] is the correct explanation of [As].
• B. Both [As] and [R] are true, but [R] is not the correct explanation of [As].
• C. [As] is true, but [R] is false.
• D. [As] is false, but [R] is true.

Hint:

Remember, formative evaluation is ongoing and developmental, while summative evaluation is conclusive and often more standardized and reliable.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Formative evaluation indeed helps accelerate learning by providing continuous feedback and enabling learners to improve throughout the process. However, the statement that formative evaluation is highly reliable compared to summative evaluation is false. Formative evaluation focuses more on improvement and feedback rather than on reliability, which is generally a characteristic emphasized in summative assessments.
