What are the three assessment processes relating to ongoing skill development?

The three assessment processes relating to ongoing skill development are formative assessment, summative assessment, and diagnostic assessment. Formative assessment focuses on monitoring student learning to provide ongoing feedback that can be used to improve teaching and learning. Summative assessment evaluates student learning at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it against a standard or benchmark. Diagnostic assessment identifies students' strengths and weaknesses before instruction begins, helping to tailor learning experiences to meet their needs.
