Analysis of practical and test based evaluations

This paper explores the correlation between different teaching evaluation methods, specifically 3 practical assessment formats and quizzes, and related impact on students’ academic performance. The study draws from educational theory, using four significant stages: teaching, learning, evaluation, and feedback. The feedback phase is a crucial aspect of education that is dependent on the evaluation process used. The paper investigates various evaluation methods, including written examinations, practical projects and labs, test/quizzes, collaborative assessments, and portfolio-based assessments. Statistical analysis is conducted on a dataset of students’ evaluations to determine which assessment methods yielded optimal results. The study suggests that quizzes tend to produce narrower score intervals and lower variances compared to practical assessment approaches. Correlations between evaluation methods are analyzed, and a significant correlation is observed between practical assignments and quiz performance. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of evaluation methods in education and provide insights into selecting appropriate assessment approaches to improve students’ learning outcomes.
