PERCEPTIONS OF PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS TOWARDS THE EVALUATION SYSTEM

The objective of a good evaluation system must be development of students as well as teachers. Evaluation therefore
must be considered as a serious activity. Most teachers consider that their jobs are over when they finish teaching.
This is not so. Teachers must follow through the students during and after evaluation and provide constructive
feedback for their improvement.
With these positive thoughts towards the evaluation system the researcher embarked into a study of the attitude of
prospective teachers towards the evaluation system. The education system has three sets of people who must
effectively interact to achieve the objectives. The paper highlights the attitudes of the prospective teachers as they see
projected by teachers, students and parents.
The paper also highlights certain suggestions to make evaluation comprehensive, long lasting and transformative.
