Abstract

Abstract: In a comprehensive program of appraisal in the modem colleges, objective tests constitute one of the major techniques of evaluation. Other major techniques for assessing pupil growth development may be Anecdotal records and observational methods, short answer test, oral and essay examinations, questionnaires, inventories, and interviews, checklists and rating scales, personal reports and projective techniques, socio metric methods, and, case studies and cumulative records. The adequacy of each evaluation method should be judged on commonly accepted criteria - validity, reliability, objectivity norms and practicability as these apply to the educational situation and the purposes of the educators. In discussions, the large numbers of specific evaluation techniques, methods and devices have been classified into categories for convenience. While it may be argued that these categories are somewhat arbitrary, any other classification scheme would be equally dependent upon the purposes and logic of an author, the present classification follows closely.
