Three dimensions of Education are namely, Teaching, Research and Extension*. Research and development is the Backbone of education system. No development is possible without research. Quality is a base for both research and development. The quality of any system depends on the quality of research conducted. According to APJ Abdul Kalam,(2007): “Research brings transformation and development and also enhances the quality of Education”.

Teaching research and extension are inseparable. Teaching makes for better Research. Teaching and research flourish best in combination, they both suffer in isolation. They are complementary and mutually supporting.They go hand in hand, helping each other to reach excellence.

Note: *Extension: Extension means reaching findings of knowledge, research and new skills to millions of people. UGC India articulated the idea of extension in 1977.  ‘University extension means’ which incorporates various aspects of work intend and performed by the university other than the established job of teaching and research, intended not only for its regular students but for others also.

RECENT TRENDS IN EVALUATION

Ø CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation)

Relevance

It better covers the scope of education

Measurement of all domains

It provides Personal, vocational and academic guidance

Better reflects strengths and weaknesses of learner

It facilitate learning process

Provides immediate feedback

Reduces examination stress

Grading System

•Derived from ‘Gradus’ (Latin) means step.

•student’s level of performance is classified in to a few classificatory units using letter grades

•Classification on the basis of pre-defined standards

1. Direct Grading

•Performance is assessed in qualitative terms.

•Evaluator gives the most appropriate letter grade to each subject like A, B, C, D, E without assigning scores.

•Preferred for non-cognitive learning outcomes.

Grade Point Average (GPA)

•It is for obtaining the overall grade of a student.

2. Indirect Grading

•Evaluator awarding grades through marks

•Convert the mark to letter grades

•Two types

A.Absolute

B.Relative

A.Absolute Grading

•Based on pre-determined standard which becomes a reference point for assessment of student’s performance

•Direct conversion of marks in to grades irrespective of the distribution of mark.

B.Relative Grading
