Evaluate Student Knowledge
Author: Manuel R. CortezRodas
Education must be evaluated. We need to evaluate education. It is necessary for the betterment of education that it be evaluated on a regular basis. The need for education evaluation is demonstrated by the students. Students benefit from having their education evaluated. Students should be given the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge they have accumulated throughout their learning process so it may be confirmed as true and accurate.
Student Knowledge
What should we evaluate in education? Primarily, student knowledge. What the student knows should be evaluated so we may measure the knowledge possessed by the student, and the educational growth they have accomplished. We must also evaluate what the teacher has presented as knowledge to the students. In the classroom there is a defined length of time in which the teacher must present the knowledge they are responsible for teaching to the students. Evaluating what a student knows and what the teacher has presented as knowledge can then allow us to measure and compare how both factors are related.
As we close this school year, we are once again, reminded of the importance of evaluating education. We need to measure student knowledge, compare that knowledge to the instruction given by the teacher, and analyze the level of knowledge between the two. We all benefit from education evaluation, and our student will benefit greatly not just by gaining and growing in knowledge, but in being reassured by formal confirmation, that their knowledge is both accurate an truthful.
