3. Evaluation process/ Steps in Evaluation
Steps in evaluation process are
1. Identifying the purpose of evaluation
2. Identifying the time frame
3. Determining when to evaluate
4. Selecting the evaluators
5. Choosing an evaluation framework/design or model
6. Types/Classification Evaluation can be classified in
many ways
● Based on frequency
● Based on nature of
measurement
● Based on methods of
interpreting results
7. Based on frequency
Formative Evaluation:
It is used to monitor learning process during instruction and to provide
continuous feedback to both student and teacher regarding the learning
process.
❖ It reinforce learning in students
❖ It identifies teaching and learning errors
❖ Provides feedback to the teachers regarding their method
❖ The results obtained are not used for assigning course grades
8. Summative Evaluation
It is a evaluation done at the end of a course or unit of instruction. It is
designed to identify to what extent the instructional objectives are met.
The main purpose of this evaluation is for grading and certification of
students.
It also provide information for judging the course and curriculum content.
9. Based on the nature of measurement
Maximum Performance Evaluation:
In this type of evaluation the performance of the students are measured to
know the person’s maximum ability and to check their motivation toward the
course. Aptitude and achievement tests are used in this type of evaluation
Typical Performance Evaluation:
In this type the Evaluation is done under natural setting ie. the assessment of
their typical behaviour.
Personality tests and observation techniques are used as evaluation tool
10. Based on method of interpretation
Criterion-referenced Evaluation:
In this evaluation the student’s performance will be compared to a set criteria
which is expected as learning outcome. Here the students are evaluated
without comparison.
Eg. Student skill of giving IM injection compared with a checklist
Norm-referenced Evaluation
This type of evaluation describes the students performance according to
relative position in some known group. This is usually used to rank them in
local, state or central level.
11. Difference between
Formative Evaluation
● Monitor progress of student
● Detailed content
● Narrow scope
● Tools used are daily assignments and
class tests
● More frequently conducted
Summative Evaluation
● Check final status of the students
● General content
● Broad scope
● Tools used are Projects, Examinations
● Less frequently conducted
13. Validity
It means the extent to which a test measures what it is intended to measure.
Types of Validity
● Face validity
● Content validity
● Construct validity
● Criterion based validity
14. Reliability
Reliability refers to the extent to which an assessment method or instrument
measures consistently the performance of the student.
Methods
● Test retest method
● Split half method
15. Objectivity
It is the degree of consensus with which two or more evaluators score the
same test.
Practicability and Feasibility
It includes various factors like, Teacher’s knowledge and experience on
administration of the tool, Time ,Money and other resources.
16. Relevance
It is the appropriateness of the tool to evaluate what it supposed to be
evaluated
Specificity
The tool and the items listed in that should be related to the educational
objectives
