Descriptive assesme nt is an important element of school practice. The student’s image adopted by the teacher is very important when formulating a descriptive assessment. Unfortunately, the pattern that emerged during the analysis of the testimonials of students completing the third grade is the pattern of the student as “performer of activities”. Teachers realisticall y translate their expectations into the practice of descriptive assessment, so a good descriptive assessment should show the comprehensive development and progress of the child. During its formulation, a balance should be maintained between social, emotional and cognitive development. Unfortunately, the analysis of the certifi cates showed that evaluation of the achievements of nine-year old childern mainly boils down to cognitive development.
