This paper aims to explore the pitfalls of the current evaluation system at the school level in Nepal focusing on the major consequences of educational practices as the output of the evaluation system. Although the provisions of formative assessment tools such as portfolio management and project work were included in the curriculum framework and policy documents, the evaluation process was based on a theoretical basis. Similarly, the judgmental written examination for assessing theoretical aspects and Continuous Assessment System (CAS) with backward-looking nature were involved in the evaluation process. The paper suggests to the educational stakeholders for the practical application and evaluation of soft-skills associated methods such as communication, creativity, cooperation and collaboration of basic and secondary students to promote formative evaluation and the curriculum concept of 'assessment for learning in Nepal.

This article will examine the development and implementation of two information and communications technology (ICT) e-assessment tools—a diagnostic assessment system and an intelligent content assessment marking system—for the teaching of secondary science. An e-learning management system (ELMS, see Figure 1) was used with second-year secondary students in science which provided both content and online assessment tools for teachers. By using this system, teachers had the opportunity to modify how they assessed their students by shifting the skills and knowledge being tested and also when and at which stage of the learning they are tested. The use of the ELMS had also assisted teachers to move away from the narrow confines of standardised tests with their discrete and decontextualized ‘items’ towards more complex, holistic, contextualised, and authentic forms of assessment (e.g., Pellegrino, Chudowski, & Glaser, 2001).

Abstract Background One of the most important principles in education, especially in clinical fields, is the evaluation of learners. Proper and continuous assessment can be used to provide appropriate feedback to students about their strengths and weaknesses. In this regard, the study aimed to design a system of continuous assessment of medical residents (SCMAR). Methods This study was performed using a combination of qualitative methods, including focus group discussion sessions and expert group meetings. The study population consisted of all the stakeholders involved in the learner evaluation process in Imam Reza Hospital Complex (IRHC) in Iran. This study was conducted in four steps, including identification of sub-axes and indicators through focus group discussions, review and approval of axes, sub-axes, and indicators in expert group meetings, model design by the research management team, and finally, agreement on sub-axes and indicators. Data analysis was performed during the agreement review stage in Excel software (2016 version). Results The finalized SCMAR consists of 10 main axes and 35 sub-axes. The axes include objectives, evaluators, areas and indicators of evaluation, evaluation periods, evaluation requirements, data collection, data sources, point assignment and data analysis methods, reporting, and feedback dissemination methods. Regarding areas and indicators of evaluation, 5 areas and 11 indicators were proposed. Conclusion A comprehensive evaluation system that continuously reviews the performance and professional behavior of learners can be used as a stimulus to improve the quality of delivered service and educational processes. The present study aimed to address this need by designing a framework.

 The continuous assessment system (CAS) has been recognized as an integral part of everyday classroom instruction at the basic level of education. This study aims to explore the teachers' perceptions towards continuous assessment systems at the basic level. It was designed in a qualitative model and using a semi-structured interview schedule. For Participants, six basic level school teachers were selected purposely from three selected schools in Kathmandu district. The interviews covered socio-demographic data, perceptions towards CAS, teaching styles, and personal experience using CAS, and challenges towards using CAS. An inductive analysis was used to allow for the patterns and themes to emerge. The finding of the study showed that most of the teachers were positive and only a few had negative perceptions towards the CAS along with its tools like portfolio, project work, and homework. Lack of CAS training for teachers, insufficient materials, resources, and infrastructures also seems to be a great challenge to the teachers. This study revealed the necessity to conduct CAS training to the basic level teachers and provide sufficient materials for the effective use of CAS at the basic level.

Term Evaluation

The word evaluation indicates finding out the value of something. It is directly related to education system. Evaluation is the act of placing value on something. Evaluation is the process of value judgement of something. Evaluation is one of the most important aspects of total education system. It is the process of determining the current status of an object. It is related to finding out the positive and negative value of an object. Evaluation is a systematic process. Education is a process of modification or changing behavior pattern of individuals. The soul aim of education is to develop all the qualities and potentialities of the child. It may be physical, mental, social, emotional, moral etc. here the teacher plays a very significant role to improve all the aspects in individuals. Evaluation is very important in education system because evaluation helps to judge the improvement of the students. It helps to judge the quality of teaching. Examination is a part of total evaluation process. In our ancient systems of education evaluation was done mainly through oral test, recitation of texts, reading of texts etc. But the term evaluation has come into prominent and systematic in recent years. There are many new trends in the evaluation process. Evaluation plays a very important role in education. The modern concept of evaluation provides a wider perspective and scope of use. Present education system is child centric and in this system of education the traditional examination system becomes outdated. So, various new trends are come into contact to the evaluation system. Educational evaluation is the process of analysis, identification and interpretation in any type of academic performance. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation, Formative Evaluation, Summative Evaluation etc. are some of the new trends in the evaluation and they have a great significance in the field of present education system.

The online English teaching system has certain requirements for the intelligent scoring system, and the most difficult stage of intelligent scoring in the English test is to score the English composition through the intelligent model. In order to improve the intelligence of English composition scoring, based on machine learning algorithms, this study combines intelligent image recognition technology to improve machine learning algorithms, and proposes an improved MSER-based character candidate region extraction algorithm and a convolutional neural network-based pseudo-character region filtering algorithm. In addition, in order to verify whether the algorithm model proposed in this paper meets the requirements of the group text, that is, to verify the feasibility of the algorithm, the performance of the model proposed in this study is analyzed through design experiments. Moreover, the basic conditions for composition scoring are input into the model as a constraint model. The research results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper has a certain practical effect, and it can be applied to the English assessment system and the online assessment system of the homework evaluation system algorithm system.

Evaluation Approaches

: The assembly evaluation process is the starting step towards meaningful downstream data analysis. We need to know how much accurate information is included in an assembled sequence before going further to any data analysis stage. Four basic metrics are targeted by different assembly evaluation tools: contiguity, accuracy, completeness, and contamination. Some tools evaluate these metrics based on comparing the assembly results to a closely related reference. Others utilize different types of heuristics to overcome the missing of a guiding reference, such as the consistency between assembly results and sequencing reads. In this paper, we discuss the assembly evaluation process as a core stage in any sequence assembly pipeline and present a roadmap that is followed by most assembly evaluation tools to assess different metrics. We highlight the challenges that currently exist in the assembly evaluation tools and summarize their technical and practical details to help the end-users choose the best tool according to their working scenarios. To address the similarities/differences among different assembly assessment tools, including their evaluation approaches, metrics, comprehensive nature, limitations, usability and how the evaluated results are presented to the end-user, we provide a practical example for evaluating Velvet assembly results for S. aureus dataset from GAGE competition. A Github repository (https://github.com/SaraEl-Metwally/Assembly-Evaluation-Tools) is created for evaluation result details along with their generated command line parameters.
