What is evaluation?

Evaluations help us to identify  whether we are doing the things correctly or perhaps we are making mistakes, therefore it will lead us to improve, things sometimes don't go as planned.

What steps are necessary to develop an evaluation?

Firstly we ought to aim to the selected target, the evaluation can give us information about knowledge, performance or product, then It will let you know which tool are you going to use, for example a check list or a knowledge test.

After having collected your information we had better analyze it and make conclusions or make decisions about the results,

What are the best times to apply an evaluation?

We can apply an evaluation even at the very beginning , a diagnostic test, it will help you to identify who are you going to work with, evaluations can be applied at any time of the learning process.

What types of evaluation do you know?

The ones I Know are, Diagnostic, but I am not sure if it belongs to the formative one, formative and summative

What are the most recommendable for you?

I consider that each one of them are designed to help us at different steps of the process, but I think that the formative ones are so useful in order to correct some of the mistakes made, in case we had them.

What can determine how reliable the evaluation results are?

I believe that the reliability of the evaluation can be determined by the same results we get, evaluations should be made constantly, the process will let us know either if it is necessary to change the evaluation or continue with the same one.
