in respect of an individual child, a group of children or
the school programme.
 Evaluation includes both quantitative and qualitative
description of pupil behavior plus value judgement.

9. PRINCIPLES OF EVALUATION-
 Purposeful or based on the objective.
 Selection of evaluation technique.
 Comprehensive evaluation.
 Proper use of evaluation tech.
 Continuous process.
 Done by many.

10. STEPS OF EVALUTION
 Identifying and defining.
 Planning learning experiences.
 Providing evidence through various tools.
 Feedback to improve teaching learning.

11. CHARACTERISTICS OF EVALUTION-
 It is the method to test, the extent to which the
objectives are achieved.
 It includes examinations and other tools also.
 Different tools and techniques are used.
 It is continuous process.
