Evaluation involves assessing the strength and weakness of programs, policies, personnel, products and organizations to improve their effectiveness. Criteria for selection of assessment techniques/method The technique /methods or tools used for evaluation are means for collecting evidence about student’s development in desired direction. These tools, therefore, should be have this criteria; Validity Reliability Objectivity Practicability Relevance Discrimination Specificity Efficiency Time Length Precise and clear Ease of scoring Balance/equilibrium Standardization comprehensiveness Validity • It is most important quality needed for evaluation. • If the tool is able to measure what it is intended to measure, it can be said tool is valid • It should fill the objectives for which it is developed. • If assessment is for science subject it must be included with valid question and practices and it measure scientific knowledge and attitude not something else. • Not to posses “all purposes” validity. A test may be highly valid in one situation but invalid if used in another situation. Reliability • Good assessment tool is always reliable, means it produce same results over time. It refers to degree of consistency and accuracy. • Reliability also depend on specific objectives and also can improved by limiting subjectivity. • If the students perform the some tasks many time and the result of student is always same then such assessment passes as reliable. Objectivity • No personal judgement . • Free from personal bias in scoring. • Ability to maintain realistic perspective. • Objectivity is a pre-requisite of reliability and all other qualities of a good tool. • Objectivity of test may be increased by preparing a marking scheme or scoring key. Practicability • It should feasible practically. • Economy of time, effort, number of personnel, finance required also has to be of utmost concern for the planner of a test. Relevance • The degree to which the criteria established for selecting the item so that they confirm the aims of the measuring instrument. Discrimination • Good discrimination power of test items are very important. • Bad items are eliminated and good items are retained. • A good tool must discriminate between good and poor or high and low groups of students on test. • It discriminate clearly between students at different levels of ability. • score variability is measured by the standard deviation of the scores. Specificity The items in a test should be specific to the objectives. Length The number of item in test should depend upon the objectives and content of the topic. Precise and clear Items should be precise and clear so that students can answer well and score marks. Time The required time to answer items should be provided to avoid hurry, guessing, taking, risk or chance, etc. Efficiency It ensures the greater possible number of independent answer per unit of time. Equilibrium/balance Achievement of correct proportion among questions allotted to each of the objective and teaching content. Ease of scoring Simple scoring is good. No algebraic manipulations should be required to get the scores. Standardization • Apply consistency in testing method • In questionnaire, it should have the some set o questions for all participants and all the answer should be graded using the same criteria. Comprehensiveness • A good tool cover all points. • Predetermined objectives. • Suitability, difficulty and reliability Thank you
