Assessment Time Once Again

How important scoring in the exams really is? This question takes
round every year the annual exam results are declared. Read on as
ummid.com speaks with the experts to find an answer.

Malegaon:
After the UPSC,
IEEE and AIEEE results, the HSC results are also out and in few days
from now the results of the students who had appeared for the SSC
exams held in March 2009 will also be in their hands. These results,
bringing cheers for some and gloom for some others, would also bring
an end to the year-long struggle, legitimate as well as
illegitimate, for scoring more and more in the coveted exams. Also
would come to an end the unnecessary pressure and burden on the
students who were living with the dilemma of how they would face
their parents, and the world, if they scored not at par with the
expectations.
Nevertheless as
a breather for these students, experts are coming to near unanimity
to assert that though scoring in the exams is important, they cannot
be treated as the benchmark for judging a particular student.
“We have seen
many students who scored well in the SSC and HSC exams faltering
when it comes to perform in the later phase of their career”, says
Anamika Gupte, a career expert working with a private firm,
simultaneously warning the parents of dire impact on the psychology
of their kids if they mount unnecessary pressure on them for scoring
in the exams.
“People don’t
need professionals who are just good in academics. They look for the
professionals with all-around development and with those extra
qualities”, she says adding, “This has been proven time and again
that a student who is not so good in scoring in the exams has
performed well in the later stages of his or her career.”
Gupte is not
alone in this out of box thinking. Stating that the education system
around the globe has gone through a major revolution, Dr Yusuf
Ansari, a professor in a prominent Malegaon College observes, “This
has made some people in the country to shift towards experiential
learning methodologies and other teaching methods which are capable
of the overall development, and the assessment, of every student.
However in many schools and colleges in the country the idea is not
yet getting popularity and the focus there still remains on just
getting good percentage of passing in the exams.”
“We really need
to focus on the overall development of a student instead of ‘dumping
knowledge’ (read information) on them and then judging
their caliber from their scores in the exams”, a senior teacher
requesting anonymity says while agreeing with the experts. “But as a
school management works on the framework and guidelines by the
respective education boards, it cannot do this. It is the duty of
the education boards to take the initiatives in this regard”, he
adds.
Let the
education boards take their own time in taking the initiatives,
advices Anamika Gupte, right now the onus is on the parents to work
out the priorities for their children. “It would be the best if one
does it at the beginning of the academic year itself”, she adds.
