• Assessment at the exit level for ascertaining the level of learning outcome.

continuous betterment of quality.

C Parameters for assessment:

• Student receptivity to accept assignments for diagnosis and amenability to remediation procedures.

• Drive to prove mettle and achieve expected quality.

• Ability to transfer potential through one achievement to another.

D Teacher’s tasks:

• Identify pre-requisites to learning a concept(s)

• Break the process of learning into sub stages

• Enumerate learning outcomes.

• Prepare suitable test items for diagnosis of each of the above stages.

• Prepare suitable remediation tasks in anticipation of lacunae normally occurring leaving flexibility of individual alterations.

• In order to have a variety of testing methods understand students’ individual interests, aptitudes, family background etc. and maintain detailed profiles beforehand.

• Have reasonable varieties of testing tools to sustain learner’s interest and at the same time that would successfully provide the required feed back.

• When adopting different methods of testing don’t lose sight of the actual component being tested. For instance if it is to test the student’s ability to handle a grammar item of direct-indirect speech and if an exercise of converting a story in dialogue form is adopted the teacher should not be distracted into assessing the histrionic talent of the child.

• Give importance to individual’s pace of learning and maintain infinite patience, constant liaison with parents and immediate authorities, empathy and sense of accountability.

• Maintain portfolios of different trials in each individual’s case and record justification for any particular assessment. Need not be too quantitative. The method of estimation for possible results over a period of appreciable time should be adopted.

• Use effectively home assignments to support class room teaching, peer activities and self assessment to optimize time vis-à-vis curriculum completion and to promote personality development as well as to reduce the correction work load.
