THE PURPOSE AND PROCESSES OF EVALUATION

According to this I learned the system or the way that we as teachers use in order to evaluate our students, and how it has been changing day by day.  There are many ways or methods that teachers could use in order to asses students  but unfortunately not all of them could be used every time because of some classroom difficulties as for example the size of the class, the topic of the lesson and also the students’ level.

Every time we assess our students is our job to give a good feedback on the students’ job, but as I said before, it is very hard and sometimes impossible to give feedback to all students because of the aspects that I previously mentioned.

Nowadays there is still the typical teachers who used to make feedback but in a wrong way, what old fashioned teachers do is shout at a student correcting him or her in front of the whole class making them being shy and embarrassed. It is not good because in the future those same students won´t never participate again in the class because that they have the fear that if they do any mistake they will be punished once again.  

When grading or checking any assignment is also a bad idea to overcorrect our students´ because once they receive the assignment corrected what they see is the red ink of each corrections about the mistakes they have done. A good way to correct our students is first to set a list of grading symbols that will be used at the time of checking. This list must be created by the teacher and students, so in this way students will know what each symbol mean.
