Pre-Assessment

Instructional Design and Curriculum Frameworks

Pre-assessment is a test given to students before a new instructional unit begins, used to find out what they already know and where they need more instruction. It saves teachers time when introducing new material and helps them learn more about their students, including what interests them and how they learn best.
