5 Ways To Evaluate Students
Evaluating students is one of the main obligations that falls on the teaching function. Evaluating teaching-learning processes becomes a necessity at the moment in which we must account for our work and the work of our students in each of the evaluation sessions that make up a school year. The word evaluate within the educational field is a very broad concept that can be understood from different points of view.
That's why today's article has no other purpose than to explain how I evaluate my students in each quarter or evaluation.
What 5 Ways Are There To Evaluate The Students?
These five types or ways of evaluating students are preferably designed for the first years of Secondary Education. It must also be said that the percentages of each of these parts will depend on the course that is given. In this sense, this entry wants to focus on the sections or ways to evaluate and not so much in the percentages, which will preferably be determined by the teacher or the members of a department.
In my case I will explain the five ways to evaluate a quarter focusing on 1st and 2nd year ESO students (12-14 years old).
Ways to Evaluate Students:
1. Behavior (subtracted from the final grade of the evaluation): When I refer to the behavior I am talking about the attitude that the student has towards everything related to behavior, school material of the student and the center, compliance with the rules that govern a center, delays when entering a classroom ... This section is not evaluated by percentage, but is subtracted from the overall score of the evaluation. In order to quantify this type of behavior, we distinguish between:
Lack of mild behavior (-0.2 points) : being late to class, eating chewing gum in class, not bringing school supplies ...
Lack of serious behavior (-0.4 points) : attempt against the rules of the center, lack of respect for the teacher or classmates, expulsions of class ...
2. Attitude (20%): In this section the attitude of the student exclusively towards the subject is evaluated. In this section, two aspects are evaluated:
Review of duties (15%) . In this section the teacher reviews at the beginning of the class whether or not he has done his homework. Pass one by one and put the note in the teacher's notebook.
If you have done your homework: 10 points.
If you have done half homework: 5 points.
If you have not done your homework: 0 points.
Review of the digitized textbook (5%) . As each evaluation consists of three Didactic Units, each didactic unit will be evaluated from 0 to 10 points.
3. Study Tests and Attention Tests (20%): Throughout the evaluation, different Study and Attention Tests are carried out that are scored from 0 to 10 points. Normally, it is tried that in each Didactic Unit there is a minimum of a Study or Attention Test.
4. Activities (10%): Initial evaluation, oral and written expression exercises, reading tests, book reviews. In this section there is room for all those activities that the teacher initially takes home to correct. These are activities that he sends home or in class and that the teacher collects and corrects, scoring from 0 to 10 each of the exercises.
5. Exams (50%): During an evaluation there is usually an examination per Didactic Unit. Even so, in some occasions some Didactic Units consist of two exams due to the Summer holidays or Holy Week. The exams are scored from 0 to 10.
