The Impact of Classroom Evaluation Practices on Students –
Abstract
Abstract of the paper: Crooks, T. (1988). The Impact of Classroom
Evaluation Practices on Students. Review of Educational Research,
58 (4), 438–481.
In most educational programs, a substantial proportion of teacher
and student time is devoted to activities which involve (or lead
directly to) evaluation by he teacher of student products or behaviour.
This review summarizes results from 14 specific fields of research
that cast light on the relationships between classroom evaluation
practices and student outcomes. Particular attention is given to
outcomes involving learning strategies, motivation, and achievement.
Where possible, mechanisms are suggested that could account for
the reported effects. The conclusions derived from the individual
fields are then merged to produce an integrated summary with clear
implications for effective educational practice.
The primary conclusion is that classroom evaluation has powerful
direct and indirect impacts, which may be positive or negative,
and thus deserved very thoughtful planning and implementation.
