ReplyDeleteThere are many methods of organizing assessment.
ReplyDelete1. Individual assessment (by the teacher)
2. Group assessment
3. Self assessment (by the student)
4. Peer assessment
etc.
In India, more emphasis is given only for the individual assessment. The other three assessments are almost not happening in schools.
I personally feel that assessments should be short, based on one or two topics and students should be mainly assessed through whole timelag of class i.e throughout the session individually and collectively and it will benefit those students who are not so strong in any respect
ReplyDeleteassessment in India gave more emphasis on writing what they learnt. This type of assessment encourages memorization. Higher order thinking will not be developed. Also creativity of the children can not be assessed. Even when we are asked to write their own words, he just memorized and write in the examination. In India some private schools do some assessment by conducting project, seminar, peer group assessment, etc.
