Assessment
• Assessment is the process of gathering and
discussing information from multiple and diverse
sources in order to develop a deep understanding of
what students know, understand, and can do with
their knowledge as a result of their educational
experiences; the process culminates when
assessment results are used to improve subsequent
learning

Assessment
 
Formative Assessment
• This occurs in the short term.
• Feedback to the learner is immediate .
• Enables the teacher to "turn on a dime" .
• Can be both formal and informal Examples: a very
interactive class discussion; a warm-up, closure, or exit
slip; a on-the-spot performance; a quiz, class test .
Summative Assessment
• This takes place at the end of a large chunk of learning.
• Results may take time to be returned to the student/parent.
• Feedback to the student is usually very limited.
• Teachers can use these assessments to identify strengths
and weaknesses of curriculum and instruction, with
improvements affecting the next year's/term's students.
Example: End term exam or annual examinations . 
Evaluation
• Evaluation is a systematic determination of a
subject's merit, worth and significance, using
criteria governed by a set of standards. It help in
decision-making. The primary purpose of
evaluation, in addition to gaining insight into prior
or existing initiatives, is to enable reflection and
assist in the identification of future change

(A=Outstanding, B=Very Good and C=Fair).

criteria for grading in the following co-scholastic activities:

(a).Work Education - Work Education refers to skill-based activities resulting

in goods or services useful to the community

Conclusion
• In Primary level the burden of examination should be reduced.
• A non pen-paper mode of examination is best in the primary level,
and for upper primary level pen-paper mode is best.
• The teacher should be given the freedom for deciding the number
of tests to be conducted because the need of each stream and each
paper is different.
• Freedom should be there to choose the type of assessment because
the need of each subject vary from each other.
• The mode of evaluation and assessment should also be flexible to
accommodate differences.
