INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVE

TEACHING ACTIVITIES EVALUATION

�  Since “Evaluation is systematic process of determining the extent to which instructional objectives are achieved by pupils.” (Gronlund, 1981), it plays a great role in education.

Evaluation not just determines the effectiveness of teaching instruction, but the professionalism of the teacher himself. For the students, evaluation is in the form of the test. Meanwhile, for the teacher, it is called accreditation.

�  The word accredit is an interesting word related to the same root word as credible, or believable.(NAPS,2007)

Teacher accreditation is meant to protect students. It is ensures that the teacher is educating his students and meeting quality standards.
