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.
Assessment, plays an important role in the teaching-learning process
which provides direction to both teachers and student to proceed in a
systematic manner. Assessment is all the more important because only
through Assessment can a teacher judge the growth and development of a
student, the changes taking place in their behaviour the progress they are
making in the class and also the effectiveness of his/her own teaching in
1
class. Assessment is an important aspect of an educative process. Student
learning can be improved through well-planned procedures of Assessment
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 Assessment is
considered as an integral part of teaching learning process.
