Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
Assessment affects learning because learners align attention, effort, and study strategies with what an assessment values.
Formative assessment uses evidence during learning to identify the gap between current and intended performance and to decide the next instructional or learning step. Feedback is therefore a central mechanism of formative assessment.
Application
Statement I says that assessment drives learning. Assessment signals valued outcomes and influences how learners prepare, so this statement is supported.
Statement II says that formative assessment requires no feedback. Formative assessment becomes useful when evidence is interpreted and communicated or acted upon to improve learning, so this statement is not supported.
Contrast
“Both statements are correct” treats feedback as unnecessary in formative assessment.
“Both statements are incorrect” overlooks the influence assessment exerts on learning.
“Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct” reverses both principles.
Cross-check
If assessment evidence is collected but not converted into information that a learner or teacher can use, the formative loop remains incomplete. This confirms feedback’s central role and supports Statement I as true and Statement II as false.
Result: Statement I is correct, but Statement II is incorrect.
