In Criterion referenced evaluation, test used during instruction. (Summative evaluation)
In Norm referenced evaluation, test used
during instruction. (Formative evaluation)
In Criterion referenced evaluation, test used at the end of instruction. (Formative evaluation)
In Norm referenced evaluation, test used at the end of instruction. (Summative evaluation)

Answer 1

Criterion-referenced and Norm-referenced evaluations are two different types of assessment methods used in education.

Criterion-referenced evaluation measures a student's performance based on predefined criteria or standards, while norm-referenced evaluation compares a student's performance to that of other students.

Key Points

Norm-referenced evaluation compares a student's performance to that of other students (the norm group).
These tests are usually summative, as they assess how a student performs in relation to their peers, typically at the end of instruction.

Hint

In Criterion referenced evaluation, test used during instruction. (Summative evaluation) is incorrect. Criterion-referenced evaluation is more related to measuring against a criterion, and while it can be formative, the description here aligns more with a summative test.
In Norm referenced evaluation, test used during instruction. (Formative evaluation) is incorrect. Norm-referenced evaluation is typically summative and compares a student’s performance against peers, usually done at the end of instruction, not during.
In Criterion referenced evaluation, test used at the end of instruction. (Formative evaluation) is also incorrect. Criterion-referenced evaluation at the end of instruction is typically summative, not formative.

Thus, the correct answer is 'In Norm referenced evaluation, test used at the end of instruction. (Summative evaluation)'.
