Evaluation strategies and mathematics performance of college of education students

The study was conducted to find the effects of different evaluation strategies – Multiple Choice Test, Constructive Response Test, and no test given to the three group of students. It also tried to find if there is difference in the performance of students given the three different evaluation strategies. It further discovered if there is difference between the pretest and posttest of each group as well as the difference in the posttest results of the three different groups. Experimental research design was utilized. Purposive sampling was used to determine the subjects who were purposively assigned to the three groups exposed to the three different evaluation strategies based on their midterm grades. Statistics showed that there was no significant difference in the pretest result of the three groups, implying that at the beginning of the study, members of each groups have more or less similar level of readiness. It further revealed that there was significant difference on the posttest results of the three different groups implying that there was a significant effect in the performance of students based on how they were evaluated during the classroom discussion.
