Assessment and evaluation are essential components of the teaching-learning process. They help in measuring the learning outcomes, understanding students’ progress, and guiding future instruction.
Assessment and Evaluation of Students Class 10 Notes
Assessment and Evaluation of Students
Assessment is an important part of learning; it helps the teachers to understand how much students have learnt. It is not only about tests; it is a way teachers evaluate the students homework, essays, reports, and class discussions. If assessments are planned properly, then the progress of the students will increase. Teachers should follow a clear plan and the proper criteria to check how well students are doing.
Meaning of Assessment & Evaluation
1. Assessment
Assessment is the process deployed to understand student learning, and it is an effective tool to enhance learning. Assessment has two meanings. The most suited for physical education is “the act of making a judgement about something.” The word ‘assessment’ is derived from related senses of ‘assess.’ The word ‘assess’ comes from the Latin ‘assidere,’ which means ‘to sit beside.’ Literally then, to assess means to sit beside the learner.
2. Evaluation
Evaluation focuses on grades. An evaluation can be used as a final review to gauge the quality of instruction. It’s product-orientated. In short, evaluation is judgemental. After the assessment, the result has been evaluated to know what the student
learnt.
Difference between Assessment and Evaluation:
- Assessment is ongoing, and evaluation provides closure.
- Assessment improves learning quality, and evaluation judges learning level.
- Assessment upgraded and evaluation graded.
- Assessment provides feedback, and evaluation shows shortfalls.
Type of evaluation
- Formative Evaluation: Formative evaluation is an ongoing process. It is an evaluation used to monitor students learning progress during instruction with the purpose of providing ongoing feedback to students and teachers.
- Summative Evaluation: Summative evaluation evaluates the outcome of the program. This type of evaluation is given at the end of the course to determine the extent to which the student has mastered the intended learning outcomes.
- Diagnostic Evaluation: Diagnostic means to find out the exact problem. Through diagnostic evaluation the teacher can know the student (their strength and weakness). This evaluation also helps to find out the causes of learning problems. This can be fixed with the remedial actions.
Components of Fitness
Performance in physical ability can be improved by focusing on two components:
1. Health-Related Fitness: Health-related fitness is about maintaining a good level of physical health to support overall well-being. It focuses on five key areas: cardiovascular endurance, anaerobic ability, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition.
Health-related fitness can be assessed by measuring the following abilities/capacities:
- Aerobic Capacity
- Anaerobic Capacity
- Strength
- Flexibility
- Body composition
2. Skill-Related Fitness: The skill-related fitness is based upon the neuromuscular system and determines how successfully a person can perform a specific skill. Both health and skill related fitness are required in all activities.
Skill-related fitness can be assessed by measuring the following abilities/capacities:
- Action
- Balance
- Coordination
Body Composition
The component parts of the body in terms of the relative amounts of body fat compared to lean tissue in the body. This can be measured as follows:
Body Mass Index (BMI) = Weight (in kg) / Height² (in m)
Prepare an assessment report and provide feedback.
As children grow, they learn skills that enable them to improve their movement. The WHO definition of health and fitness is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.
Some reasons why assessment is important?
- Identify areas of strength and improvement.
- Monitor learning and fine-tune teaching.
- Talent identification
- Motivating performance
