What are the different types of educational assessments?

The different types of educational assessments include formative assessments, summative assessments, diagnostic assessments, and authentic assessments. Formative assessments are used to give feedback during learning, while summative assessments evaluate student learning at the end of a period of instruction. Diagnostic assessments help identify student strengths and weaknesses, and authentic assessments require students to demonstrate their knowledge and skills in real-world contexts.
