Techniques of Evaluation: 
Evaluation of student behavior is an integral part of any teaching task. It in plies 
passing judgment on activities performed by individuals. It is therefore, imperative for teachers 
to be well versed with the techniques of evaluation. The techniques may be broadly classified as 
subjective and objective. It may again classified as quantitative and qualitative, testing and non-
testing techniques. In case of testing techniques we can use examination technique in the form of 
written, oral & practical examination. Now open book examination technique is also used to 
develop the competency of students in using reference books and other reading material which 
also helps to develop self study habits. In non-testing techniques we can use observation, 
checklist, rating scale, questionnaire & interview etc. to evaluate the development & change in 
the behavior of the students. 
5.4 Methods of Text Book Analysis:
As you know instructional materials in the form of the text book are very 
important for the teacher and learner, so good textbook should be selected in order to support the 
success of teaching and learning. So here the question arises is that how can one know whether a 
textbook is a good textbook or not. So we need to analysis the text book on the basis of some 
criteria like attractive cover page use of picture and interesting material. You can also analysis a 
text book on the basis of the “The little John Framework” which has three levels of analysis. 
 
Level-I 
The first level is what is there in the textbook? In this level we have to investigate 
the most concrete elements of the text book such as the statement of description, the physical 
aspects and the main steps in the instructional section. 
Level-II 
What is required of users? 
In this level the analyst subdivides a chapter of the book into tasks and then analyses. What is the 
teacher expected to do? With whom? With what content? Who determines their activities?

Level-III 
This level is the most abstract, but it builds upon the first two levels. This level asks what 
is in flied. For these levels, the analyst deduces the aims, principles of selection and sequence, 
the teacher and the learner roles and the demands on the learners. You can also use the checklist 
to analyses the textbook. Some lists are given below in the form of checklist. This can also be 
used to analyses the text book.
