Assessment And Evaluation

In school education, it is a common practice for the terms ‘Assessment’ and ‘Evaluation’ to be used interchangeably most of the time. In this curriculum framework, assessment and evaluation are viewed as different processes that are both necessary, important and an integral part of the teaching learning process in all classrooms. Assessment provides teachers and children important information about children’s learning gaps, strengths, weaknesses and difficulties so that timely action can be undertaken and corrective measures adopted by teachers. Assessment is undertaken in multiple ways – it may include oral /written forms or teacher’s observation or child centered classroom activities such as discussion /dialogue, project work, model making /posters/charts, experimentation, group and individual activities.

Evaluation is a process of collecting information- evidences regarding progress of the child. It focuses on the actual level attained by a child in a particular class after a certain period of time. It refers to judging the quality of a child’s work on the basis of an established set of criteria (learning outcomes) and assigning value (i.e. grade or mark) to represent that quality. In the curriculum, evaluation is thus , necessarily viewed as broader and more comprehensive taking into account different aspects of the child’s total behaviour i.e. knowledge, skills, interests, attitudes and values.
