What assessment method involves students responding to closed-ended questions by themselves?

The static assessment approach is a method where students engage in responding to closed-ended questions independently. This type of assessment is used to measure students' knowledge and skills at a specific point in time without any interactive or adaptive responses. It often includes multiple-choice or true/false questions, where students select answers based on their understanding, which reflects their current level of learning.

In contrast, dynamic assessments typically involve interactive components where the assessor may provide feedback or assistance to facilitate learning, which is not a feature of static assessments. Mediated learning experiences and the learning potential assessment device also incorporate elements that go beyond closed-ended responses by focusing on how learners can be guided or supported in their learning, making them distinct from the static method’s straightforward, independent response format.
