Many people believe that formal “pen and paper” examinations are not the best method of assessing educational achievement.
Discuss this view and give your own opinion.
Education is the most powerful weapon the can be used to change the world, this makes a continuous debate around the best way of evaluating the student’s progress. Many people argue that conventional “pen and paper “exams are still the best method of assessment. I strongly believe that there are more modern ways for appraisal of academic achievement.
For many people the sole way of assessment should be formal “pen and paper” tests at the end of each semester. They claim that this type of tests will fairly evaluate the degree of academic achievement and how much the student comprehend the total curriculum. The total degree of the test depends mainly on how many questions attempted and done right by the student. To illustrate, the education board in Egypt is adopted the formal examination in different school grades from primary to tertiary education. This example makes it clear that many countries are still trusted this way of examination.
Despite the benefits of the old formal exams, many people feel that it is the ideal time to have an advanced methods of assessment because conventional tests are depending mainly on rote-learning and are not allowing students to show creativity and critical thinking. Other methods which could be applied as continuous assessments and projects, in this way, we are not only encouraging students to think creatively but also promote their ability to gather data and information. For example, in Japan their educational system depends on scoring of the students’ teamwork behavior in the classroom. It seems to me that method is really up-to date and can help the educational process. Had I been to choose which type of tests for my children, I would have chosen continuous assessment methods.
To conclude, although many people still stick to the old methods of examination, the modern methods have its merits as enhancing creativity and should be implemented as much as possible.
