Assessing Students Academic capability



Assessing Students Academic capability

The following principles should be the guiding factors for the assessment of students: 

1. Assessment should bring bene- fit for children. Either they should directly improve his learning capabilities or in improved quality of educational programs.

2. Assessment should be reliable, valid, and fair. There should not be misuse of assessments which could have adverse effects on a student’s academic development.

3. Assessment should be age appropriate in both content and the method of data collection. Assessments of young children should address the full range of early learning and development, including physical well- being and motor development; social and emotional development; approaches toward learning; language development; and cognition and general knowledge.

4. Assessment should be linguistically appropriate, recognizing that to some extent all assessments are measures of language.

5. Parents should be a valued source of assessment information, as well as an audience for assessment. Assessment results should be shared with parents as part of an ongoing process that involves parents in their child’s education.
