It is usually the quizzes and tests, but some students are confused with multiple choice questions. Need to do oral tests individually.
To evaluate student learning there are diverse assessment methods such as quizzes, exams, papers, projects, portfolios, reflections, and surveys.
Excellent contribution Dr's. Joshua O. Ighalo, Michael Issigonis, Hassan Izzeddin Sarsak, Amal Saadoon Majeed, Aparna Sathya Murthy and s.L. Borana!
Along with the syllabus the students should be handed out a rubric which tells them what skills (competencies) are expected of them to have at the end of the course. At the end of the semester use that rubric for very student and on a 1-5 rating scale score them. This is so that you know how well they performed and what you can do to improve. This is not to be shared with the student, it is for your own records. The student will have the course score based on tests, final exam, homework, etc. which are part of the syllabus.
An experienced teacher understands who he is dealing with after 2-3 lessons. But how successfully the student learns - the teacher understands much later. Those, to understand the student’s abilities and knowledge of the fundamentals (i.e., his level) necessary for a new course is quite easy, but to understand how successfully a student is mastering a new course, and especially since he has left after this course, is a rather difficult task. Most teachers extrapolate the impression of the student (after all, he already knows a lot!) on his subsequent actions. And traditional methods of assessment are ineffective. I know many “excellent students” who could not do anything in the future (the ability to learn does not determine the ability to apply knowledge). In addition, when evaluating a student according to the results of a course, the teacher first of all evaluates himself! In my opinion, the results of training should be evaluated by the long-term knowledge skills that the student has acquired. How to do it? In any case, not by testing.
The combination of written and oral answers to questions with the solution of situational tasks allows you to test not only knowledge, but also skills.
By use of tests, exams and practice of outcome like gardening practices.
A student primarily can be judged by behaviour, attitude and concentration in the class. The best learning outcome can be got by conducting quizes, clarifying doubts, conducting tests and make them to explain on board of what they know.
Your assessments need to be linked to specific learning objectives. For example, if a LO was..'a critical understanding of the nature of education governance frameworks', then an essay question could be ' Identify a country and critically explore education strategies to support knowledge based economies,... You could set this as a group presentation/project....the theory aspect covers understanding models/frameworks for education, and policy/practice covers types of strategies for enhancing education standards....
I agree with the previous responses.
As a teacher and researcher, I may evaluate the outcomes differently depending on the occasion, either teaching or research wise. These aspects may coincide sure.
In any case, it is important to set criteria, based on literature.
- Give students an opportunity to assess their own learning and reflect on the progress they are making.
- They can identify their own gaps in skills or knowledge, revise their work, and set realistic goals.
- This process also helps students stay motivated and interested in their own learning.
Learning outcomes of a student can be evaluated by asking questions, putting quizes, give topic, see and assess the presentation and performance and putting tests.
Evaluating the students systematically, using different ways such as oral and written evaluation, interactions, dialogues, monologues, presentation of reviews or investigations as extra-class work.

The extent of utilization of education is measured by the degree of thought, the ability to achieve continuously, the development of the soul, and the level of success that is constantly rising.
Storytelling techniques have helped some of my students to feel more at ease and with confidence in demonstrating what they have learned, especially on being more creative and innovative with the theory learned. Here is a good storytelling tool for teachers to use with their students to evaluate on their progress.
Hi,
Informally (orally) testing the students by posing practical problem (based on their learning) and tuning their problem solving skills is what will be a measurement of their learning.
Alas...I do think we can use various techniques but.... The essay simply helps students evaluate arguments and present your, premised on reading. Russel group getting something right....exam...because there are techniques to exams and ensures students learn subjects, sometimes by heart. I don't think these are appropriate for all subjects. For example, group projects. Many times 1 or 2 do nothing...and even peer pressure usually ends up students ranking high rather than scoring lower, due feeling disliked...keep an open mind though
Do you know that experiments in education for 5-11 have worsened standards in UK. Traditionally studying alphabet was by heart, singing, repeating in groups together, the same for x table, and strong emphasis onlearning by heart spelling. Then group work/discovery, due to so called pressures on students learning by heart was introduced. As a consequence these basics have impacts in higher education. Learning poems by heart, or Shakespeare by heart is essential for many careers especially relevant today, dancers, actors/actresses, YouTubers, influencers....I feel regressed as I did know Shakespeare by heart and many poems, but changing education focus has made me forget some of these issues.....but imagine all, how cool is it for a group presentation to use at the end or beginning of presentation a writer, artist, musician...to encapsulate essences of presentation
ESSAYS AND EXAMS AND GROUP PRESENTATIONS..AND USE OF FAMOUS SAYINGS/POEMS- AND BEING ACADEMIC HERE IN SOCIAL SCIENCES/HUMANITIES
Read my arguments for the above..essays best way for reasoning, argument and developing coherent thinking and logic, exams as learning by heart, as some elements as I feel that it is important to provide informed, authoritative insights in today's competitive world.
For learning outcomes for evaluation straightline method may not serve the purpose. In this line some time back I have expressed my views in the line with the evaluation of student which I submit herewith for your perusal.
For evaluation of students we should not keep a watertight compartment in the sense that for the student of primary & secondary level, the base of evaluation remains different. In comparison for the student of higher grade & so to say up to college education evaluation may have to carry out under different methods.
The best way for the student of the higher study we should prepare a form carrying a various categories covering psychology aspect, interest & inclination of the study the hobbies, reading habits, nature of reading material in the form of books, their hobbies & such other requisite information in the form for assessment for the student .
After carrying out the working of assessment of the student in the prescribed form, the student should be evaluated in the following line
1 Average
2 Above Average
3 Good
4 Very Good
5 Excellent
With the remarks of our evaluation for the guideline of students
This is my personal opinion
Learning outcomes of a student can be evaluated by asking questions in class, conducting quizes, conducting small tests and oral examinations and the student interaction with fellow friends.
I agree completely with comments by Dr, Pisipaty Srinivas Kishore, and there is no need my repetiting them.
Yes Chuck like pisipaty can do quizzes in class, and facilitate discussion. This is great when students given prior readings, or seminar questions. Sad to say not enough deep reading. Internet great providing universe of knowledge, but too much surfing....
I agree with comments by Dr Rohit Manilal Parikh Dr Pisipaty Srinivas Kishore

I am very fortunate to come across some teachers in my university life who tried to grow and increase interest in physics by their lectures. I think this should be the main duty or responsibility of a teacher specially in the science section to improve interest about science in his students by their lectures. I am also trying this with my students who come for research in masters degree to increase their interest in research. So for me the best way to evaluate the students progress is to check whether his interest in learning increases or not. If his interest increases, his results will be automatically good.
This discussion can be considered for research purpose as well. Very interesting replies thank you, dear colleagues!
Good to hear stories of inspiration
When I was at university we write essays with pen/pencil
Now I just want students to read...it is sad when you put so much effort into reading lists and seminar questions, and students don't read. Remember we are the gym kit, and we can show you how to use gym kit, in the end it is the student and how much they use the gym kit...
Thank you all dear colleagues for sharing your thoughts and experiences, very useful!
Excellent addition Dr Mohamed Hossni, thank you for your contribution!
Either by direct or indirect methods.
Direct Methods:
- Locally developed tests/test questions
- Essays/Papers
- Lab-work
- Exam questions
- Performances/Presentations
- Portfolios of student work
- Comprehensive exams
- Standardized tests
- Certificate exams
The Indirect Methods include:
- Surveys
- Course evaluations
Ask the students to speak about what they learnt after 6 months. What they speak will be a good indicator of what was internalised.
Examinations happens to be a popular method to evaluate the learning outcomes of the students worldwide. But any evaluation based on the application learning will be most appropriate. I am telling this because of some inherent problems of examination especially written examination. Some students are very good at cramming and thus will score good marks even though without understanding the fundamentals. Whereas there will be some students who have understood the fundamentals but could not cram, write well, and thus not able to score well.
If the evaluation is based on the application of learning by creating a simulated environment ( because the actual application in a real environment will be time-consuming and costly), it will give more credible outcomes rather than relying on examinations.
Finally, true teachers understand the capabilities of their students very well. They can easily rank their students without using any evaluation techniques.
Examination is the age-long method, it's still looks the best method to keep Students alert to their responsibilities. Examination can be formal or informal.
