EVALUATION
7
Evaluation is the stage that comes after learning has completed, it places us on the spectrum that shows whether learning has taken place or not. It shows those grey areas where the teacher and the learner both have to put equal efforts to excel. Of course every learner and their teachers wants to be on the positive side of the spectrum as it shows their efficiency and effectiveness. It has been often noticed that the mad race among the learners is not for knowledge but for the acknowledgement that they have successfully completed the race. The curiosity and urge for learning is taking backstage that's where the process takes place but unfortunately the refinement process is often considered secondary and what matters is the ultimate product ( clearing the exams).
Whether evaluation is really necessary?
Many philosophers are of the view that it's not at all necessary. But the pragmatic view is that it's absolutely necessary as it opens the vistas of the material world to earn a living and make a good fortune.
Parents, educators and the educational institutions with their constant bombardment hammer the students to bring out their best. The number game gives them the momentary pleasure but it takes the toll on the young minds.At the same time its a huge market where assurances are sold for a huge price.
Preparation for life.
Why not teach our students to face the game of life? It's the world outside waiting for them with varied opportunities and challenges. Let us prepare them for the real world,teach them to correlate their knowledge from different sources to tackle situations instead of giving them everything readymade.Why not make them find out the solutions themselves ? Students should be keen observers of the real world around them ,they should learn how to open up different channels of communications and master different languages.
