Knowledge Assessment

Knowledge is what one retains after a certain period of practical or theoretical work. Different ways of assessing knowledge have been in place. In fact, the debate on whether exams are the best way to assess knowledge is still underway.

This paper aims at analyzing the importance of knowledge assessment and its effectiveness. Knowledge is assessed in terms of theoretical examinations or practical works in most institution. According to Jan Genci, knowledge is best tested when there are periodic updates in the course. Genci highlights the need to compare the final results with the mode of teaching so that modification can be done.

The JRC Scientific and policy Reports emphasizes that before knowledge is acquired, the following parameters are to be put in place. First, the examiner outlines what is expected of the student. The minimum standards of performance are as well underscored.

Kirkpatrick designs a model for evaluation. In his model, Kirkpatrick outlines the four levels of evaluation. These are reaction, learning, behavior and results.

These three reviews are organized themically. They highlight the effective ways of assessing knowledge that the student has acquired over time. The common idea is that the assessment should be done after some form of tutorial is given to the person to be assessed.

This theme of knowledge assessment is important to learning institutions. The best ways of evaluating the learner are explained vividly and all the modalities suffice.
