Evaluation involves measuring student progress towards goals and determining new goals based on learning. It provides feedback to students and teachers, and helps improve the teaching and learning process. Evaluation should be done according to pre-decided goals and the needs of students. It is more comprehensive than examinations and includes qualitative evidence and value judgments. A shift towards constructivist teaching requires a new model of evaluation, such as open book exams, which test higher-order thinking rather than memorization. Open book exams will change student and teacher behavior by encouraging understanding over rote learning and more active, discussion-based teaching.

development of man’s personality and measures the qualities
of an individual in every walk of life.

7. Paradigm Shift in Teaching - Learning Process and evaluation
system:
Behaviorism Constructivism
Teacher Centered student Centered
Lecture Method Creating teaching environment
Delivering Lecture Designing and playing team game
Teaching to learn How to Learn
If a new approach to learning and teaching is to be

8. An Open Book
Exam:
Innovation in
the field of
Evaluation :
An "open book examination"
is one in which examinees
are allowed to consult their
class notes, textbooks, and
other approved material
while answering questions.
If we are accepting
paradigm shift in teaching
i.e teach the students
HOW TO LEARN ? , we
should adopt innovative
evaluation method also.
Teaching means the ability to
acquire knowledge, to modify
existing knowledge on the
basis of new experience, to
build new knowledge, and to
apply available knowledge to
solve problems and make
intelligent decisions.
Teaching - Learning
and Evaluation goes
hand in hand , so for
this situation Open
Book is the Best
solution.

9. Format of
questions in
Open book
exam:
Higher order
Questions
If the question is ‘Explain the roles and functions of NCTE,’
students easily transfer the information from a textbook to a
answer book. In the open book exam the question format be
such that test the students ability of thinking, decision
making, sense of mind , awareness of accountability,
responsibility creative thinking, problem solving ability,
time management skill etc.
Questions should be ‘
1) Are you satisfied with the roles and functions of
NCTE? Justify your answer.’
OR
2) ‘Suggest the modification in the roles and
functions of NCTE’.

10. Instead of asking ‘What is Qualitative Research?
Explain its steps with an example.
In open book exam we should ask, Prepare
Qualitative research proposal for the research
problem, ‘A study of family environment and
Values of Refugees of India.’
In Open Book exam we should ask ;’ Write the
Objectives and Hypothesis for following problem
of the Research.’

11. Teaching Style
in the Open
Book Exam:
● Teachers will have to design tasks that will
provide exercises for the appropriate mental
skills required in each subject.
● Teachers will have discussions, questions,
and other active processes.in the
Classroom.
● Divergent learning Experiences should be
used.
● New techniques of teaching such as :
Brainstorming, Flipped Classroom, Blended
Learning will be used.
● Classroom will become activities room.

12. Learning
style in the
Open Book
Exam:
● They will stop rote learning or mugging
information or answers.
● They will try to use their uniqueness in
learning.
● In conventional examination students think
that ‘studying’ means memorize the books
and note books for prescribed syllabus.
● Open book examinations will effect a
fundamental change in this attitude.
● If textbooks can be consulted in the
examination rooms, why bother to memorize
them?

13. Does this mean that students don't need to "study" for examinations?
No. It implies that studying should not be equated with memorizing; instead,
it should be understanding concepts, and using these concepts to practice
the skills of modifying and building knowledge, thinking critically, and
solving problems. In acquiring the right strategies of studying, nothing is as
effective as the shocking realization that mugging is of no use in the
examinations.
Education process will become pleasant and joyful
