Which type of assessment serves as a tool for teachers to continuously monitor student progress in a non-threatening and supportive environment in EVS?

This question was previously asked in
UPTET 2026 Paper 2 Social Studies Question Paper (3-Jul-2026) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

Formative assessment

Assessment in EVS can be broadly grouped into formative, which happens during learning, and summative, which happens at the end of a unit or term.

Formative assessment allows teachers to observe and monitor a student's progress continuously in a relaxed setting, giving timely feedback without creating pressure or fear.

Summative assessment measures learning only after it is complete, and normative or administrative assessment do not serve this ongoing, supportive monitoring purpose.
