Notes:
In some cases, it is not clear from the data available how
much a recommended assessment type (for instance,
in a teachers’ guide or manual) is in fact being used by
teachers. The above table is thus a combination of the
intentional/aspirational and the actual/implemented.
Identification of a case study in the above table does not
necessarily imply that assessment occurs throughout the
country. In some cases, it is only manifest in a particular
geographically restricted area.
It is not clear whether the homework assignment in Turkey
(case study 5) was used for formative or summative
assessment.
