Why We Need to Change Our Mode of Assessment?

 

- Teachers must use multiple measures and diverse avenues of expression to continuously assess the current knowledge of students.

- Need new formats for gathering information about student’s achievements, new processes which information is synthesized and that formats and processes should seek to serve the welfare for each students.

- Primary beneficiary of assessment should be the learner or student.

- Programs designed to show material to students and impart knowledge that the teachers can then observe and measure.

- New role of teachers are facilitators, guides, co investigators while students as producers, apprentices and co explorers.
