Making targets clear to students at the outset of learning is the fundamental underpinning to assessment for learning practices to be implemented.
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Clear targets provide students with a clear understanding of what they are expected to learn and achieve. When targets are made clear at the beginning of the learning process, students can better focus their efforts and monitor their progress. This supports the implementation of assessment for learning practices, where students are actively involved in their own learning and use assessment feedback to improve. Therefore, the statement that making targets clear to students at the outset of learning is the fundamental underpinning to assessment for learning practices is true.Rate this question:

This approach promotes a growth mindset and helps students develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter.Rate this question:
