Abstract:
The aim of Education is developing the 'Whole Child' making
children capable of becoming responsible, productive and useful member
of a society. Knowledge, skills and attitudes are built through learning
experiences and opportunities created for learners in school. The school
system in India predominately focusing on the intellectual skills and the
parent and society further supporting it, the psychomotor and affective
domain of holistic learning have not received their due importance. It is
in the classroom that learners can analyze and evaluated their
experiences, learn to doubt, to question, to investigate and to think
independently. The aims of education simultaneously reflect the current
need and aspiration of a society as well as its lasting values and human
ideals.
In the present scenario it is very stressful for the parents, teacher
and students only to be working on cognitive aspects without learning,
the process of learning teachers professional, self esteem and promotion
are geared to the scholastic mark attained by their learner, hence also very
high stress levels on the teacher which are manifested in the form of
teacher stress and bum out. This is tum affect our system of education on
the whole. An understanding of Learners educational aims, the nature of
knowledge and the nature of the schools as social organization can help
us arrive at principles to guide classroom practices.
Evaluation plays an important role in the teaching-learning process
which provides direction to both teachers and student to proceed in a
systematic manner. Evaluation is all the more important because only

student, the changes taking place in their behaviour the progress they are
making in the class and also the effectiveness of hislher own teaching in
class. Evaluation is an important aspect of an educative process. Student
learning can be improved through well-planned procedures of evaluation
that are inbuilt in the teaching learning process. Many times teachers
attempt to assess the progress of learning while teaching i the classroom -
sometimes deliberate and at times spontaneous. Thus evaluation is
considered as an integral part of teaching learning process.
