What type of assessment provides detailed information about individual student learning regarding curriculum content?

Standardized assessment
Criterion-referenced assessment
Norm-referenced assessment
Informal assessment

The correct answer is: Criterion-referenced assessment

Criterion-referenced assessment is designed to measure a student's performance against specific learning standards or curriculum content. This type of assessment focuses on what the student has learned and whether they have met predetermined criteria or objectives. In contrast to other types of assessments, criterion-referenced assessments provide detailed insights into individual students' strengths and weaknesses with respect to the subject matter being taught. For example, a criterion-referenced test might assess students on their ability to solve specific types of math problems aligned with the curriculum, allowing teachers to identify which areas students have mastered and which areas may require additional instruction or support. This individualized feedback is essential for tailoring educational approaches to meet the needs of each student, thereby enhancing their learning experience.
