The criteria, as listed above, are large in number and varied as
many cognitive and non-cognitive capacities that are required to be
developed and inculcated among the children for their overall personality
development and professional growth. However, this does not mean that
all are to be taken into consideration for an assessment. Further, a
teacher requires sufficient expertise in conducting assessment. It will
eventually be the discretion, judgement and freedom of the teacher to
select and consider particular indicator for assessing the process of a
particular work unit or project. This will depend upon the degree of
teacher’s own growth and expertise, the nature and type of the work
process, the level of maturity of the learners and the learning situation
provided to the students. It is hoped that teachers will strive to grow
professionally to handle with ease the assessment of the process of the
work units or the projects. Ultimately, an enterprising and professionally
committed teacher is the only key to the success of the work education
programme.
