What is Educational Evaluation?

Claudia Carias

Educational evaluation is a continuous and personalized process within the teaching-learning system whose objective is to understand the progress of each student. This way, reinforcement or compensatory measures can be adopted to ensure that the educational objectives defined for their level are met. Therefore, it is a handy tool for making pedagogical decisions to improve a student's performance.

According to experts in education, evaluation is useful for both teachers and students. For teachers, it allows them to communicate learning objectives and expectations to students and verify the effectiveness of their teaching methods. For students, evaluations can motivate them to earn recognition for their effort through grades. It also prompts them to review previous study materials, helping to consolidate learning and clarify ideas.

Educational evaluations are essential to maintain the standard levels of education and ensure that students acquire the necessary skills, competencies, and knowledge to progress within the educational system and obtain accredited titles. The implementation of evaluations is crucial for an effective educational system and to achieve specific objectives:

1. Situation Analysis: Evaluations help teachers diagnose their students' and institution's situation, identifying and resolving any problems.


2. Setting Goals: It is important to define educational objectives and assess whether the results meet expectations or if modifications are needed.

3. Advising: Educational evaluations allow for offering guidance to students on various aspects, including skills, exams, and higher education.

4. Determining Class Level: Evaluations help determine the educational level of a class, enabling teachers to tailor materials to each group's capacities and needs.

5. Improving the Learning and Teaching Process: By understanding students' needs, personalities, and abilities, teachers can enhance their work and facilitate learning.
