What are The Characteristics of Evaluation
The most significant results should be included in an evaluation programme as much as feasible. This should provide a range of techniques for gathering and documenting the evidence. The instructor gains a lot of knowledge about each student through observation during class discussions, individual committee reports, and supervised study. Tests still offer more precise and granular information. Tests produce information in an easy-to-use format. Recognizing that the tests should be used to support rather than replace the evidence gathered from observation is crucial.
As a result, the capacity to design appropriate tests for certain goals and to include the use of tests into the progression of learning activities is a crucial component of teaching skills. The foundation for both the learning activities and the evaluation processes should be clearly stated outcomes. Situations for learning should offer chances for insightful observation.
There should be certain scenarios that are specifically created to highlight comprehension, critical thinking, and the capacity to apply what has been learnt. Despite being primarily intended for assessment, tests may also be used to arouse. In broader words, the methods used to gauge students’ development are those necessary to gather proof of their advancement toward learning goals.
