Evaluation is a systematic and continuous process of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting information to determine how well students are achieving educational objectives. It emphasizes broad personality changes and major objectives of educational programs, including subject matter achievements as well as attitudes, interests, thinking habits, and social adaptability. Evaluation helps design better education programs by allowing teachers to understand students' abilities and interests in order to arrange instruction accordingly. It also helps teachers refine objectives and helps administrators, parents, and guidance services.
