To provide a final grade for the course

To maintain records over time

The correct answer is: To inform instruction and guide teaching

The purpose of formative assessment is to inform instruction and guide teaching. This type of assessment is conducted during the learning process and helps educators identify students’ strengths and weaknesses in real-time. By gathering feedback through quizzes, discussions, observational notes, and other methods, teachers can adjust their instructional strategies to better meet the needs of their students. Formative assessments allow for ongoing feedback, facilitating a continuous improvement cycle where students can understand their learning progress and areas that need focus. This iterative process empowers both teachers and students, creating a more responsive and effective learning environment.
