Assessment not just indicates expecting correct answers and exact facts from the students. The thinking capacity of the students should be encouraged and all the responses which are divergent from the answer given in the textbook should also be equally given importance by the teacher. Key PointsStrategy for assessing student's answers to questions asked by teachers:
- All kinds of responses from the students should be encouraged.
- Only encouraging the student who gives an answer which is exactly as in the textbook should be avoided.
- Students should feel free to express views on the various ideas they get regarding the topics taught in the classroom.
- Students' ideas in answers should be assessed qualitatively like the students who give answers in fewer sentences and high quality should also be encouraged.
- Not only assessing the student's knowledge but students' experiences should also be assessed qualitatively because students often learn through experiences.
Hence B & C are the correct answers. Additional Information On the other hand just assessing an answer as right or wrong may discourage many students to share their views as their answer does not match the answer given in the textbook. So focusing only on the right and correct answer while assessment should be avoided.
