EVALUATION OF STUDENTS ACHIVEMENT IN TEACHING RELIGIOUS STUDIES

Abstract

Teaching is a unique educational process that is carried out in three stages: planning and making a program, realization of the program and evaluation. One of the most sensitive and therefore most demanding stages is evaluation. However, regardless of how sensitive and demanding it is, evaluation is not only indispensable but also an essential part of the teaching process. Education as an intentional, organized systematic learning is directed towards achieving cognitive and educational objective. For this reason it is necessary to evaluate whether these have been achieved and to what extent they have been achieved. Therefore the necessity of evaluation is not questionable; rather we must focus on the quality of evaluation and how to achieve the educational aspect of evaluation, so it could serve its purpose which is the encouragement of students and their progress.
