THE PROBLEMS
AND PROSPECTS OF CONTINUOUS ASSESSMENT
ABSTRACT
This study
was designed to carry out a survey of the problems and prospects of continuous
assessment (CA) in Junior Secondary School in Nkanu West Local Government Area
of Enugu State. Four research questions were formulated to guide the study. The
sample for the study consisted of 80 respondents. A 24 item self- report
instrument was used for the study. The data generated, were analyzed using mean
and standard deviation. The result shows that 20 out of the 24 items listed in
the Questionnaire as the problems and prospects of continuous assessment
implementation were agreed upon. Four (4) were not accepted as problems and
prospects of continuous assessment. They include; demands on teachers time,
anxiety/fear of failure, improving the quality of questions /items. Improving
invigilation, promotion of healthy study habit among students, reducing
students population per class, students having access to continuous assessment
scores, conducive classroom environment were some of the solutions proffered to
remedy the ugly situation.
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Assessment
can be defined as the process of gathering data and fashioning them into
interpretable form for decision making. It involves collecting data with a view
of making value judgments about the quality of a person, object, group or event
(Ajuonuma, 2006). Assessment plays a significant role in the educational
development of a person, and of course, a nation. It is a means of quality
control, of determining the level of accountability displayed by Stakeholders
in the industry and also of determining the effectiveness of teaching and
learning as well as in finding out students’ achievement. It is a vital tool
for educational evaluation, thus its importance as a quality assurance tool
cannot be overemphasized.
The concept
of assessment in the Nigeria context became officially operative since 1985
consequent upon the production of a manual for its implementation as a result
of the implementation of the Nigerian National Policy on Educationwhich was
introduced in 1977. Continuous assessment was therefore introduced alongside
the 6-3-3-4 system of education in Nigeria. Continuous assessment, according to
Federal ministry of Education, Science and Technology (FMEST,1985) is defined
as a mechanism whereby the final grading of a student in cognitive, affective
and psycho-motor domains of behavior takes into account in a systematic way,
all his performances during a given period of schooling, such an assessment
involves the use of variety of modes of evaluation for the purposes of guiding
and improving learning and performance of the student. These modes of
evaluation according to Ajuonuma (2007) are considered adequate for assessment
of students’ learning because it is comprehensive, cumulative, systematic,
guidance and diagnostic oriented.
The goal of
continuous assessment in the opinion of Awotua-Efebo (1999) include the
enhancement of assessment as an indicator of Students’ achievement, the
integration of curriculum and the focus of assessment on the potentials of each
student rather than on a discriminatory summative evaluation. Continuous
assessment uses a variety of techniques for assessing the students because it
considers all three domains of learning, namely cognitive, affective and
psychomotor.
