Assessment; achievements; students; objectivity.Abstract
Students’ achievement assessment is a matter which attracts the attention of all included in the educational process and of the broader public as well. The improvement of the assessment objectivity is the ultimate and essential goal of each educational system and also of each teacher. Collecting valid information for students’ attainments and their correct interpretation are considered as key factors which influence the assessment validity and the teaching quality too. Undoubtedly, the teacher with his own personal features which affect the upgrading of the students’ achievements is in the center of this process. In this paper, the research question connects to the thought which arouse from the theoretical insight, in relation to the collection and the interpretation of students’ accomplishments, and the aim is to indicate the relative nature of the objectivity in students’ assessment. The sample contains of many theoretical sources which stress up the relevance of collecting and interpreting the information in the assessment process. The analysis rests upon the critical analysis. From the critical analysis of the theoretical insights regarding the significance of these two factors it comes up that, in fact, the objectivity is relative and that absolute objectivity cannot be achieved given that human beings with their own thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes are included in the assessment of the students’ achievements.
