I just want to know as there is pedagogical leadership and pedagogy is much explained, however the relationship between assessment of students' performance and teacher's employed pedagogy.
One important way of thinking about the link between teachers' pedagogy and assessment of students is through "Assessment for Learning" which was a concept suggested by Dylan William.
Article Assessment: The Bridge between Teaching and Learning
The five strategies he employs to link formative assessment to pedagogy are:
Clarifying, understanding, and sharing learning intentions
Engineering effective classroom discussions, tasks and activities that elicit evidence of learning
Providing feedback that moves learners forward
Activating students as learning resources for one another
Activating students as owners of their own learning
So when the teacher explains the learning objectives, engenders discussions, provides feedback, checks understanding through rich questioning, supports students to be in control of their own learning through scaffolding with feedback for example, all this links pedagogy to formative assessment.
Also, consider the notion of Bigg's constructive alignment where there is alignmnet between content, pedagogy and assessment. It is mainly employed in HE but applies to all settings in that there should be a link between what is taught, how it is taught and how learning is assessed.
The case-study approach is the right method to look for answers to the question you raised:

Pedagogical assessment of student performance is a method of evaluating how well students are learning and progressing in their studies. It involves measuring and evaluating student learning, usually through tests, assignments, and other forms of assessment. The goal is to identify areas where students are struggling and to provide support and feedback to help them improve.
Hello. The score is given by the number of citations of the article. There you select the 5 most cited articles. Review the summary of each one carefully and determine if they are relevant to your research interest.
In my opinion, and this is only a humble opinion, pedagogical assessment of student performance refers, first and foremost, to the assessment of the effectiveness of the teaching. Hence student performance is relative to teaching effectiveness. It should be acknowledged, therefore, that there is an embedded assumption that effective teaching leads on to excellent student performance. Consequently, the assessment of student performwnce should take into consideration not only how the students have performaed but also how they were taught and what learning resources where placed at their disposal.
I hope this helps. Pedagogical assessment is an appropriated method to make a judgment while considering the learner's context. This is applied only after a contextualized or culturally related activity is implemented. Compared to the standardized "assessment of learning", pedagogical relates to "assessment for learning" which centers on formative aspects such as giving feedback, diagnostic questioning, and peer assessments to cater beyond content or competency which is stipulated in curricula.
Pedagogical assessment evaluates students' performance beyond tests, focusing on skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. It includes methods such as observations, projects, portfolios, and peer/self-assessment to monitor progress and provide feedback.
