ABSTRACT

Education aims at an all-round development of human beings. Its objective is to bring out the desirable changes in all the three domains of one’s personality - cognitive, affective and psychomotor. In order to determine the extent to which these objectives have been achieved, it is necessary to have systematic, comprehensive and continuous evaluation process. Schools have a major role and responsibility for developing all the desirable and non-cognitive characteristics and behaviour in the students. A child spends most of his time in school. The child’s development, physical and mental is subjected to the experience gained by him/ her in the school and society. These developments are the basis for human behaviour. Education system or school life enables the students to live effectively and fruitfully in a society. This can be materialised through proper instruction and assessment, which are used in the educational process.
