Kako pisno oceniti znanje učencev

Abstract

A part of the teaching and pedagogical process is without a doubt the testing and marking of the knowledge of pupils, which every teacher in primary or secondary school carries out in a planned and announced manner. In accordance with the curriculum and Rules on Knowledge Assessment and Grading and Students’ Progress to a Higher Class Standing in Elementary Schools, every teacher is obligated by law to announce or set a date for marking the knowledge of primary school pupils (Article 12 of Rules on Knowledge Assessment and Grading and Students’ Progress to a Higher Class Standing in Elementary Schools), at least five working days before the planned marking date. In any case, teachers must be aware that in order to achieve the knowledge standards, as set and regulated by law in the curricula, they must also carry out an assessment of the above-mentioned objectives. In what way do teachers test and mark the knowledge of primary school pupils in individual subjects? The teacher is responsible for his or her professional field and teaching, and for attaining the objectives; this most certainly grants him or her room for manoeuvre and authority of teaching, as well as autonomy and responsibility in testing and marking. In order to achieve the above-mentioned standards, teachers most often employ various teaching strategies and use Bloom’s taxonomy for preparing written works, which include tests.
