Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
CONCEPT
Ipsative assessment judges a learner against that learner’s own earlier performance. Its purpose is to make individual progress visible, not to rank pupils against one another.
APPLICATION
Self and peer assessment supports reflection on the learner’s progress.
Sharing learning goals identifies the direction of improvement.
Effective questioning elicits evidence of current understanding.
Effective feedback identifies the next step for improvement.
Discriminating pupils compares learners with one another, which shifts the focus from individual progress to ranking.
CONTRAST
A, B, D and E only includes the four progress-supporting processes and excludes pupil discrimination.
B, D and E only omits self and peer assessment.
A and C only includes pupil discrimination and omits learning goals, questioning, and feedback.
C and D only includes pupil discrimination while omitting the other progress-supporting processes.
Therefore, the applicable components are A, B, D and E only.
