UNIT VI
Evaluation of Work Education
In the Scheme of Examinations prepared by the Board, the evaluation of
Work Education of all classes has been left to the schools. However, the
Grades as awarded by the schools in classes X and XII will be reflected
in the Board Certificates. It is, therefore, incumbent on the schools to
draw good scientific programmes for the evaluation of Work Education.
Programmes planned by the schools for the evaluation of Work Education
should be:
1. Objective based
2. Comprehensive
3. Continuous
4. Dynamic
To fulfill these four requirements of evaluation the schools must keep in
view the objectives of teaching Work Education listed earlier and try to
make an assessment in respect of all of them. More especially the focus
must be on the important bahavioural changes expected through Work
Education.
Evaluation
Learner’s evaluation is a process of collecting, analysing and interpreting
evidence to judge the level of achievement acquired by an individual
learner or a group of learners in cognitive and non-cognitive domains for
making variety of decisions. The various basic principles, which should
be considered while evaluating the students during and on completion of
the activities are given below.
Guiding Principles
• Evaluation to be done according to the objectives of teaching (well-
defined in their behavioral terms) as well as the learning experience
provided.
• Evaluation should be comprehensive, as far as possible, and must be
continuous (each activity/project/unit must be evaluated immediately
after its completion).
• In the process of evaluation, as many tools and techniques as
possible, should be employed.
