EVALUATION

CLASS ACTIVITY 9:

Assessment Principles

Evaluation is a process to determine the extent to which the instructional objectives  have been achieve by students. There are principles which provide direction to the process of evaluation and also serve as the criteria for adopting a particular technique of evaluation. 

Here are some principles:

1. Determining and clarifying what is to be evaluated
2. Selecting evaluation techniques in terms of the purpose to be served
3. Combining a variety of evaluation techniques for comprehensive evaluation.
4. Knowing the strengths and limitations of various evaluation techniques to be able to use a particular evaluation device meaningfully and effectively.
5. Evaluation is a means to and end, not and end in itself.

Group discussion:

We think that 1, 3 and 5 are very important principles to develop.But, number 1 is the most relevant than all principles above. 

Determining and clarifying what is to be evaluated (1) gave us a guide of which objectives will be accomplish by students. This principle provide us a direction to the process of evaluation and to know what techniques we are going to use.
