The correct answer is

(a) and (b) only

Journaling in educational settings is a method of informal assessment that serves several purposes for students. Let’s evaluate each statement to determine their validity:

  1. (a) As a tool that provides opportunity to the students to express their thoughts and ideas:
    • Journaling certainly offers students a platform to articulate their personal thoughts and reflective ideas, aiding in their cognitive and emotional development. Thus, this statement is correct.
  2. (b) As an opportunity to showcase what they have learned:
    • Students use journals to recount and reflect upon what they have learned, thereby demonstrating their understanding and learning. Therefore, this statement is also correct.
  3. (c) As a way to cope with the stress:
    • While journaling can be therapeutic and a means to alleviate stress, the primary purpose in the context of academic assessment is not stress relief but evaluation and thought expression. Thus, while partially true, it is not the central aim of journaling as a method of assessment in this context.
  4. (d) As a tool to settle scores with the authority:
    • This statement suggests a negative and confrontational use of journaling. It is not appropriate nor relevant in the context of informal assessments aimed at constructive evaluation. Hence, this statement is incorrect.

Based on the above analysis, the correct statements about journaling as a method of informal assessment are (a) and (b). Therefore, the correct option is (a) and (b) only.
