Training kit on developing evaluation in the educational process
Evaluation is a fundamental element for measuring the level of competence and ensuring the degree of performance, and it is necessary for all progress or growth. In the educational sciences and applied instructions, no method, whatever its theoretical and methodological orientations, can do without it, for it helps generate abilities, create skills, improve performance, and raise returns in all areas of life.
The educational process
The field of the educational process, or its subject matter, is concerned with studying the mechanisms of acquiring and conveying the knowledge specific to a particular field of knowledge. Its proponents therefore focus on prior thinking about the content and substance of the teaching required, in terms of the concepts involved in constructing the subject.
Educational evaluation
This is an organised process of collecting and analysing information for the purpose of determining the degree to which educational goals are achieved, and making decisions regarding them in order to address aspects of weakness and provide sound, integrated growth through reorganising and enriching the educational environment.
The importance of evaluation
It has become an essential part of every curriculum or educational programme, for knowing the value or feasibility of that curriculum.
The evaluation process gives real and tangible results about the level of the curriculum, as it is an essential part of it for knowing its scientific value.
