Educational assessments significantly influence teaching methods by shaping curriculum planning and instructional practices. They provide valuable insights into student performance and learning needs, guiding educators on where to adjust their approaches. Standardized assessments can inform decisions regarding interventions for struggling students while highlighting areas where the curriculum may require enhancement. However, an overemphasis on testing can inadvertently narrow the curriculum and promote teaching to the test, limiting creativity and critical thinking. Striking a balance between formative and summative assessments is key to fostering a comprehensive educational experience that supports student growth and development across diverse learning domains.
