The document outlines the types of evaluation in education as presented by Dr. Amjad Ali Arain. It details four main types: placement evaluation, diagnostic evaluation, process (formative) evaluation, and outcome (summative) evaluation, along with their purposes and examples. The overall goal of the presentation is to enhance students' understanding of evaluation processes and their applications in educational settings.

3. OBJECTIVES OF MY PRESENTATION:
By the end of this presentation students will be able to:
Define the term evaluation.
Enlist four steps of evaluation.
Describe the four basic types of evaluation.
Illustrate the purposes of evaluation and its types.
Discuss types of evaluation with different examples.

5. Evaluation
• The process of obtaining information
(data) and using it to form judgements,
which in turn are used in decision
making.
• Evaluation is a systematic, detailed and
thorough process of assessing
knowledge and skills, behavior and
attitude of learner to make some
decisions.
Definitions;

6. Steps of Evaluation
Formulation of judgments and taking of appropriate action
Interpretation of measurement data
Development and use of measuring instruments
The criteria (acceptable level of performance) of the educational objectives

7. Types of Evaluation
There are four basic types
of evaluation in education.
• Placement Evaluation.
• Diagnostic Evaluation.
• Process (formative) Evaluation.
• Outcome (summative)
Evaluation.

8. Placement Evaluation
It refers to:
“A process of evaluation to
establish a baseline from
which student’s individual
growth can be measured. It is
also used to know what the
student’s skill level is about
the subject. It is conducted to
prior instruction or
intervention to make
judgements and provide a
proper learning level to a
learner.”
It is designed to place right
person in the right place.

9. Purposes of Placement Evaluation
To place
students
according to
prior
achievements
and personal
characteristics.
To provide
an
appropriate
instructional
sequence.
To help
teacher to
work on
teaching
more
efficiently.
To assist
learner, to
perform in
certain
circumstance
s.
To make
decisions
more
productive i-
e student
and teacher.

10. Examples:
• Aptitude test
• Self reported inventories
• Medical entrance test
• Observational techniques
• Agricultural or engineering
entrance exam

11. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION
It is concerned with
identifying the
learning difficulties as
well as strengths of
learners during
instruction.
N.E Gronlund says
“diagnostic evaluation
searches for underlying
causes of those
problems that do not
respond to first aid
treatment”
Diagnostic
evaluation can be
made by employing
(applying)
observational
techniques and
specific tools called
“diagnostic tests”

12. Purposes of Diagnostic Evaluation
To identify
learning
weaknesses
of a learner.
To determine
specific areas
of strengths
of an
individual.
To provide
excel
assistance
and
instructions.
To evaluate
accordingly
with equity.
To develop
skills to think
out of the
box rather
than limits a
learner in
boundary.

13. PROCESS OR FORMATIVE EVALUATION
“It is an ongoing evaluation that prevents problem before
they occur or arise. It is used to monitor learning progress
during period of instruction”
The main objective of it is to provide continuous feedback
to both teacher and student concerning learning
successes and failures while instruction is in process.

15. Purposes of Process Evaluation
To identify specific
learning errors that
need correction.
To provide feedback to teacher
to modify instruction or
prescribing group or an
individual remedial work.
To help teacher to
ascertain student’s
progress time to time.
To develop appraisal
of achievement as well
as improvement.
To make learner’s
participation desirable
in learning process.

16. Examples:
• Monthly tests
• Class tests
• Mid terms
• Presentations
• Project work
• Home assignments

17. Outcome or Summative Evaluation
This type of evaluation
is defined as: “the
evaluation occurs at the
end of a course of
instruction to know that
at what extent the
objectives previously
fixed have been
accomplished is known
as outcome or
summative evaluation”
In other words the
evaluation of pupils’
achievement at the end
of a course. It is
generally the work of
standardized tests to
assign grades to the
pupils.

19. Purposes of outcome evaluation
To indicates the degree of content that students has mastered.
To judge the appropriateness of instructional objectives of the
course or program.
To promote learners to next higher classes.
To compare content with other on the basis of standard criteria.
To make a final judgement about both course and pupil.

20. Examples:
• Final terms
• Semester exams
• Research seminars.
• Job Interviews
• Performance test.

21. Summary:
 Evaluation is the process of making final judgements on the
basis of data collected from particular tool/instrument.
 There are four steps of evaluation that are integral part of the
process.
 One is the criteria standard.
 Second is use of developed instrument.
 Third is to collect data from tools.

22. Summary Cont.…..
 Fourth is to make final judgements.
 Placement evaluation helps to place the right person at right
place.
 Diagnostic evaluation is to identify the weaknesses as well as
strengths.
 Process evaluation is to evaluate one formatively.
 Outcome evaluation results in how much the program was
successful.
