A short disclaimer:

This being a short presentation, ideas would only be visited

cursorily. A few assumptions have been made such as teachers
participating in this talk show already are aware of the concept
and process of Assessment. This presentation is intended to
make the fraternity aware of the immediate need of shifting to
the use of Online Tools of Assessment.

It is hoped that the audience will carry out deeper explorations

themselves later.

Please sit back and be infotained or is it edutained ?!

A Quick Introduction to Assessment

Assessment (Crudely stating) It is a systematic and well-planned process / activity of finding out the learner’s extent of achievement/ performance in terms of
Knowledge, Understanding, Skills, Attitudes, Aptitudes, and other cognitive abilities, learning styles and Competencies in certain school subjects in certain academic
areas.
The term extent of achievement here means– the strengths, weaknesses, gaps, oversights, deficiencies of a learner in a specific learning domain.

2. Types of Assessment

1. Formative: intended to guage and guide the extent of formation of desirable behaviours after teaching chunks of learning material in a given area.Via quizzes, in-
class questions, assignments
2. Summative: intended to check the range of overall acquisition of desired behaviours after learning an independent large portion of given area at end of a project,
course, semester, unit, program, or school year
3. Diagnostic: intended to check the absence of certain Cognitive/ Affective/psychomotor/Social behaviours in a given area of life and work .

3. Need of Assessment

Assessment is indispensable as without which none in the business of education would be able to judge the efficiency of teaching- learning processes, nor would
we be able to learn the progress made by the learners in different domains, or the assistive support to be provided to the learner. How can one visualize advances/
innovations/ improvements in academic activities? How would the learner come to understand the full extent and range of his/her capabilities and make critical
decisions in the present and future?
