4. Approaches to Evaluation
Norm-Referenced Evaluation
is one wherein the performance of a student in a test is compared of the other
students who took the same examination.
Example:
Criterion-Referenced Evaluation
Example
Jella got 93 marks in a test of Mathematics.
Jaynive scored 7 out of 10 in spelling test.
Yebin can encode 60 words per minute.
Advantages
Students are not competing with each other and are thus more likely to
actively help each other learn.
A student's grade is not influenced by the caliber of the class.
Disadvantages
It is difficult to set reasonable criteria for the students without a fair
amount of teaching experience. Most experienced faculty set these
criteria based on their knowledge of how students usually perform (thus
making it fairly similar to the norm referenced system).
Objective Test - It is a paper and pencil test wherein students’ answer can be
compared and quantified to yield a numerical score. This requires convergent or
specific response.
Subjective Test – It is a paper-and-pencil test which is not easily quantified for
students are given the freedom to write their answers to a question, such as an
essay test. Thus, the answer to this type of test is divergent.
