The Use Of Modern Educational Assessment Methods By Arabic Language Teachers At Middle Education Stage A Field Study On Middle School Teachers In Ain Defla State (Algeria)

Abstract

The objective of this study is to identify the use of Modern Educational Assessment Methods by Arabic Language Teachers at the Middle Education Stage.

To achieve these goals, the researchers followed the descriptive approach, using a questionnaire prepared by Mohamed Afana (2011). The study included 50 teachers from Ain Defla.

We found the following results: Arabic language teachers primarily used performance evaluation tests written, in addition to some modern methods such as evaluation of performance by interview, evaluation of performance based on observation, and self-evaluation, which were used to a large degree. Peer evaluation and evaluation based on performance were used to a medium degree, which is a positive indicator of the extent of knowledge some teachers have of modern evaluation methods and their desire to apply them in line with the new curricula and modern teaching strategies. However, evaluation with work portfolios and concept maps ranked last with very little use.
