Diagnostic assessment
Diagnostic assessment is an evaluation of learning potential.
The UK Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) (2000) states:
diagnostic assessment provides an indicator of a learner’s aptitude and preparedness for a programme of study and identifies possible learning problems.
This has changed in the Glossary (QAA, undated) to:
Evaluation of how well a learner is prepared for a given programme or unit of study within it, identifying any strengths, gaps in knowledge, or shortfall in necessary understanding and skills.
