Academic evaluation is an activity that the teacher performs during his / her teaching. This activity includes gathering information and judging the student's learning and progress. This information is collected through various methods and requires sufficient skills and knowledge in this field. The teacher should use the results of the assessment and consideration of the educational goals and expectations about the individual's situation, identify the student's strengths and weaknesses, and provide recommendations for improving learning activities.
Unfortunately, the assessment and evaluation process in our country, according to custom, only includes a comprehensive or final evaluation, which is done at the end of the training course in order to determine academic achievement and ranking. In this method, all the efforts of the teacher, student, parents and the whole educational system are focused on the final exams and their grades, and the result of all the efforts is summarized in one or two digits. This score is not only a criterion for judging and making decisions about the student, but also as a kind of evaluation of the performance of the teacher, mentor, principal and parents and the educational system. There is no doubt that the results of such decisions are not accurate, they may have unfortunate consequences; In other words, instead of the evaluation and measurement system serving the education and growth and development of learners and teachers, the teaching and learning process has served the assessment and testing system and the criterion for judging the performance of the system and the student in a The scale is summarized from zero to twenty.
