School Based Assessment

Introduction- School Based Assessment
Learning -Teaching and Evaluation are three major components of the process of Education.
It is a fact that teachers should know that evaluation is used to assess the progress of learning-
teaching process. Moreover, teachers should know that these components influence mutually and
develop each other.According to formative assessment (continuous assessment) fundamentals; it
should be done while teaching or it is an ongoing process. Formative assessment can be done at
the beginning, in the middle, at the end and at any instance of the learning teaching process.
Teachers who expect to assess the progress of learning of the students should use an organized
plan. School based assessment (SBA) process is not a mere examination method or a testing
method. This programme is known as the method of intervening to develop learning in students
and teaching of teachers. Furthermore, this process can be used to maximize the student’scapacities
by identifying their strengths and weaknesses closely.
When implementing SBA programmes, students are directed to exploratory process through
Learning Teaching activities and it is expected that teachers should be with the students facilitating,
directing and observing the task they are engaged in.
At this juncture students should be assessed continuously and the teacher should confirm
whether the skills of the students get developed up to expected level by assessing continuously.
Learning teaching process should not only provide proper experiences to the students but also
check whether the students have acquired them properly. For this, to happen proper guiding
should be given.
Teachers who are engaged in evaluation (assessment) would be able to supply guidance in
two ways. They are commonly known as feed-back and feed- forward. Teacher’s role should be
providing Feedback to avoid learning difficulties when the students’ weaknesses and inabilities are
revealed and provide feed-forward when the abilities and the strengths are identified, to develop
such strong skills of the students.
Student should be able to identify what objectives have achieved to which level, leads to
Success of the Learning Teaching process. Teachers are expected to judge the competency levels
students have reached through evaluation and they should communicate information about student
progress to parents and other relevant sectors. The best method that can be used to assess is the
SBA that provides the opportunity to assess student continuously.
Teachers who have got the above objective in mind will use effective learning, Teaching,
evaluation methods to make the Teaching process and learning process effective. Following are
the types of evaluation tools student and, teachers can use. These types were introduced to teachers
by the Department of Examination and National Institute of Education with the new reforms.
Therefore, we expect that the teachers in the system know about them well

tools are mentioned in Teacher’s Instructional Manuals.
If the teachers try to avoid administering the relevant assessment tools in their classes there
will be lapses in exhibiting the growth of academic abilities, affective factors and psycho- motor
