La evaluación es integral, continua, reguladora del proceso educativo, orientadora y compartida. Ha pasado por distintos cambios; en la Edad Media los exámenes en medios universitarios con carácter más formal, escritos y orales, lo cual era más difícil para el alumno retener la información que se le había estado proporcionando y todo eso lo llevaba a un gran fracaso. Guba y Lincoln se refieren a esta evaluación como a la primera generación, que puede legítimamente ser denominada como la generación de la medida.
La educación se integra por diversos elementos, entre ellos, los educandos y los educadores, los programas de estudio, las instalaciones, el conjunto de normas y principios de la educación, las modalidades y tipos de impartición de los conocimientos y el desarrollo de las habilidades.
En este ensayo se mencionarán los problemas o limitaciones más comunes de la evaluación educativa, algunos avances que ha tenido y además los retos a los que se está expuesto al momento de evaluar.
Una corriente llamada docimología, en los años veinte fué el primer acercamiento a la evaluación educativa. La evaluación se dejaba en último término, en manos de una interpretación totalmente personal del profesor.
En los años sesenta se prestó interés a las llamadas de atención de Tyler, quien era conocido como el padre de la evaluación; relacionadas con la eficacia de programas. Los setenta fué época caracterizada por la pluralidad conceptual y metodológica.
A finales de los ochenta Guba y Lincoln ofrecen una alternativa evaluadora, que llaman cuarta generación. La alternativa la denominan respondente y constructivista. Actualmente el desarrollo curricular, pasa por un proceso evaluador el cuál se conforma por: la evaluación diagnó...

He further stated that with all sincerity in themselves and colleagues, public school is now regarded as outmoded and barbarous. This thought, according to him is both observable to students and the teachers alike, but the students inhabit in it for a short period, while the teachers are condemned to it. Pursuant to teachers being condemned, they live and work as intellectual guerrillas strong-minded to stimulate students, ignite their inquisitiveness, and to open their minds, yet reluctant to stay behind in their profession. Together with this, teachers...
Education is a topic that can be explored in many ways. Education is looked at in depth by both Richard Rodriguez in his essay, “The Achievement of Desire”, and by Paulo Freire in his essay, “The ‘Banking’ Concept of Education.” After reading both essays, one can make some assumptions about different methods of education and exactly by which method Rodriguez was taught. The types of relationships Rodriguez had with his teachers, family and in life were affected by specific styles of education.
Today, the way the educational system works in the U.S. concerns a large number of people in this country. "Only 25% of adults have a great deal of confidence in the people running education, according to the General Social Survey, down from 49% in 1974" (Russel 4). A lot of discussions have been held to find the best ways to improve teaching methods. At the same time, people recognize that a very valuable solution to increase the level of education in the United States is to look at some problems that cause difficulties and hamper the enhancement of the quality of education. The first step is to define these problems. As in every country, the U.S. wants to develop its national standards in education and wants them to be high. This has always been a government function. Being democratic, the government is trying to fit the qualities of democracy into the way to set these standards. Of course, this is not an easy task since this country has a very diverse population. To please everybody has always been an almost impossible task. Despite this impossibility, national standards have already been set. "If a visitor from another nation was dropped into an American public school classroom without knowing the state or the region, he or she would be likely to see the same lesson taught in the same way to children of the same age" (Ravitch 9). Everything seems right except the fact that the abilities of children are different. Not everybody is able to study at a college; not everybody wants to continue being educated. It is obvious that every country wants to produce as many educated people as possible. But, at the same time, every country needs workers because, regardless of the fast development of technology, there is still a great necessity for human labor. To satisfy all the necessities of the country, the government should provide different kinds of education. This does not mean that we need to eliminate all of the standards; they could be set in each field of education. Although standards are set, there is still a very big difference in teaching methods in different schools. Perhaps, the most serious problem starts in high schools: some schools provide a higher level of education than others. Students from most city schools graduate with the confidence in their knowledge; their level of educati...
...usion. In terms of the third argument, I point out particular groups which defined as educated and uneducated people. In my argument, I argue that uneducated people could become social unstable factors. From this specific perspective, I conduct that lower marks could help these people to establish correct values and morals. During I produce my argument, I apply diagrammatical method to analyse whether my argument is valid or not. In order to reinforce my position, I have done some research before I compose my work. I find an advantageous evidence to support my view. This is an education policy which is put forward by the Federal Government to boost educational reform. The aim of this policy is to expand enrolment from disadvantaged students. I think this evidence could help me to back up my opinion, thus, I put this in my last paragraph to reiterate my main thesis.

Dr. Ray’s nationwide research indicates that more than 90% percent of the parents do not hold valid, government approved teaching certificates (2009). Whereas, all teachers, both public and private, have those certificates, and are taught, trained and certified to teach each certain aged students (“Home Schooling” 2011). Since the quality of education neither monitored nor regulated by the government, it is doubtful to trust the quality of education that parents provide to their children (“Home Schooling”, 2011). Teachers and administrators firmly control the quality of education they provide to students. They are concerned not only with the academics, but also with the engagement of the students in extracurricular activities at the school. Therefore classroom education is able to provide socialization, which is an important aspect of youth
The environment through which education is realized is critical for the learning children. In this aspect, there exist many forms of schooling that support education of children; public schooling, home schooling and private schooling. However, each method of schooling has its own advantages and disadvantages compared to other schooling methods. The above arguments are based on both home schooling and public schooling. Each schooling method focuses on pertinent issues that make the method as the most ideal compared to the other. Moreover, these arguments focus in realization of specific goals of education and education environments as indicated in each subheading.
Traditional grading system will be my focus of this essay. Grading as numbers or letters, a conventional way of assessing students’ achievement, is one part of education and has been lately in controversy in USA. The argument is that the conventional grading practice is not in support of the ultimate objectives of education. In fact, it is in conflict with the values of education. Thus in this essay, I will argue that traditional grading does not play the role it is supposed to play and it is time to have a new and better alternative to this.
Assessment, in the context of education, was defined by Lambert, D (2000, pag 4) as the processs of gathering, recording and using information about pupils' responses to educational tasks. Despite some can consider that assessment is separated from the learning process, assessment is, in fact, an essential part of the learning proccess. Maguire, M. and Dillon, J. (2007, pag 213) pointed out that assessment is intrincately bound-up in the teaching-learning cycle.

In the article by Blanco et al. (2012) the authors wants their audience to believe that by providing the proper tools educators will assist in enhancing children’s learning. They support their argument by discussing their findings. They base their results based on the research they conducted in a case study with primary education students in the Ramiro de Maeztu School, a K-12 institution in Madrid (Spain). According to Blanco et al. (2012), “We present a framework that tries to a...
Teacher’s grades affect and reflect how well a teacher learned in the courses they studied to become a teacher (Orphanos). The study showed that different types of qualities a teacher can affect the way a student learns and achieves. Some teachers teach verbally and most students have an increase in understanding the teacher. Other students learn differently such as learning visually by looking at something or taking special notes. It’s the teacher’s job to make sure that he or she finds way that is both helpful and understandable to the students. The quality that determines whether what technique to use to help the student, is based on the teacher and his or her observation on viewing how the students learn best. “Some scholars agree that it does not matter what teachers do but they accomplish” (qtd.in Eisenberg). When teaching as a primary or secondary teacher, it is harder for a student to actually care and work hard for an academic achievement. It makes it harder for the teacher to reach out the students but when working for so long and going through different techniques to teach students teachers do not need to have an advanced degree to achieve that goal. At times it is challenging but that is part of teaching there are going to times when it is a bad day and things don’t go the way there suppose to, but no matter what a teacher will wake up the next day and go to the job they
Educational institutions today are increasing their emphasis on high standards as a crucial factor in improving the quality of education imparted to their students. They are, therefore, looking at new and better ways to develop such a curriculum that meets all the pre-decided standards. This calls for a change in the way schools are run and the methods of teaching in order to design, implement and evaluate curriculum effectively.
