    The document discusses checklists, which consist of lists of steps, activities, or behaviors an observer records during an incident or evaluation. Checklists call for simple "yes" or "no" judgments about whether a trait is present and enable observers to note only presence or absence. They are useful for evaluating procedures, activities, functions, and specific tasks, though they do not indicate quality of performance. When constructing checklists, each item should be expressed clearly and avoid negative statements whenever possible. Checklists relate directly to learning activities and need to be confined to performance areas that can be sufficiently assessed.

    CHECK LIST

    DEFINITION:-
    It consists of a listing of steps activities or behavior which the observer records when an
    incident occurs.
    While preparing a check list, teacher must keep in mind what kind
    of behavior are important to record and what kind of activities are to be evaluated. The
    check list calls for simple “yes” or “no” judgment. It enables the observer to note only
    whether or not a trait or characteristic is present.
    They can be used most effectively when components of competence specified.
    A two column format can be used:-
     An additional column for remarks is useful, brief notes can be jotted down which
    can be used for feedback to the students for evaluation conferences
     Limitation of checklist is that it does not indicate quality of performance, so
    usefulness of checklist is limited to procedures, activities, functions and specific
    tasks
     Only a limited component of overall clinical performance can be evaluated by
    checklist

    ADVANTAGES
    1. They are adaptable to most subject matters areas
    2. Useful in evaluating those learning activities that involve a procedure process and
    some aspects of personal-social adjustments
    3. Most useful in evaluating those process that can be subdivided into a series of
    clear distinct, separate actions
    4. When properly prepared, they constrain the observer to direct his attention to
    clearly specified traits and characteristics
    5. They allow interindividual comparisons to be made on common set of traits
    6. They provide a simple method to record observations
    7. They objectively evaluate traits

    CONSTRUCTION OF CHECKLIST
     Express each item in clear, simple language
     Avoid lifting statements verbatim from the text
     Avoid negative statements whenever possible
     Make sure that each item is clearly yes or no, true or false and the like
     Review the items independently

    SUGGESTIONS TO FOLLOW WHILE USING CHECK LIST


     Check list should relate directly to learning activities
     Check list needs to be confined to performance areas that can be assessed
    sufficiently by examining positive and negative criteria and when sufficient
    opportunity for observation exists.
     Use check list only when you are interested in ascertaining whether a particular
    trait or characteristic is present or absent.
     Clearly specify the traits or characteristics to be observed
     Have a separate check list for each candidate, individual candidate observations
    can be recorded on a master check list.
     The observer must be trained how to observe , what to observe and how to
    record the observed behavior
     Multiple observations provide a more accurate assessment of performance than a
    single observation
     Students should be evaluated in the natural setting or as closely as possible to
    the real situation
     A complete check list should be given to each student for review followed by an
    individual session with the student, to discuss the strength and weakness of the
    performance and formulate a plan to improve the performance.
