- Teachers engage their selves in diagnostic assessment because this is a pre-assessment
that allows them to determine individual student’s prior knowledge. It is where
teachers can evaluate students’ strengths, weaknesses, knowledge and skills before
their instruction. While formal assessment is a formal way of teachers to find out how

assessment because decontextualized assessment includes written exams which are
suitable for assessing declarative knowledge, and do not necessarily have a direct
connection to a real-life context. [Show Less]
