Assessment types
Formative
Identifies the learning and learning needs of each (learner) so that the teacher can organise future learning experiences and connect with the (learners) current knowledge and skills and the learner can plan and engage more meaningful work.
Summative
Provides evidence from which the (learners) achievement in a curriculum domain or the metacognitive domain or the real world domain can be inferred

CXC Influence Several subjects at the CSEC level have internal assessment
elements branded as School Based Assessments and the CPEA Caribbean Primary Exit Assessment has or will have this.
This is a teacher/labour intensive activity that has parallels with the IA in the Grade 9 Diagnostic Examination
Anecdotal evidence is that weaker students have lower persistence in completing SBAs although tasks can be repeated to improve final scores
Availability of computers has increased the completion rates according to student reports
