"Assessment techniques in Mathematics is an important factor that contributes to Mathematics anxiety among students". Which of the following is/are correct reasons for the given statement? (a) Assessment in Mathematics is done only to test if the student knows or does not know the answer. (b) Assessment in Mathematics is designed to test the student's capability of arriving at a unique answer using the correct procedures. (c) Assessment techniques in Mathematics focus on process of learning hence gives scope of discussing multiple ways of doing a problem. (d) Assessment is focused on testing the memorisation of facts and formulae rather than concept learning. Choose the correct option Correct Answer (a), (b) and (d) The true definition of assessment is not that it only concentrates on giving greats and marks to the students through pen and paper tests but on recognizing the learning difficulties of students and designing the teaching-learning strategies accordingly to help them overcome those learning difficulties and misconceptions. Key Points"Assessment techniques in Mathematics is an important factor that contributes to Mathematics anxiety among students" as: It is only concentrated on testing and awarding marks to the students accordingly. Assessment in Mathematics is done only to test if the student knows or does not know the answer. Assessment in Mathematics is designed to test the student's capability of arriving at a unique answer using the correct procedures. Assessment is done only in the classroom through pen and paper tests. Assessment is focused on testing the memorization of facts and formulae rather than concept learning. ​Hence A, B & D are the correct options.Additional Information On the other hand, the third statement does not indicate that assessment is the reason for mathematical anxiety among students because it gives the true definition of assessment where the focus is on discussing and doing the same problem in multiple ways.
