Which of the following types of evaluation apply more during the adult stage?

1.It uses learner-collected evidence validated by peers, facilitators and experts.
2.It is basically criterion-referenced.
AOnly 1
BOnly 2
CBoth 1 and 2 ✓ Correct
DNone of the above
Correct answer: (C) Both 1 and 2
Explanation

During the adult stage both features apply, learner-collected evidence validated by peers, facilitators and experts, and a basically criterion-referenced approach, so the answer is both 1 and 2.

Adult assessment fits andragogy, which makes the learner an active, self-directing participant.

Portfolios and evidence gathered by the learner and validated by others suit adult, work-based learning.

Criterion-referenced assessment judges performance against fixed standards, not against ranking of peers.

This matches adult goals of demonstrating competence rather than competing for rank.

Malcolm Knowles's andragogy underlies these self-directed, evidence-based assessment practices.
